Amazing Yet Stupid Things to Do With Breath
Kingsdaughter613 replied to Karger's topic in Warbreaker
I think I’d just awaken my book to turn the pages when I say advance or reverse (depending on which way I want to go). Also turns to the correct page when I ask it to go to a particular scene, chapter, last read or book marked. -
Guess That Cosmere Character! Forum Edition!
Kingsdaughter613 replied to Kidpen's topic in Forum Games & Random Stuff
The only one I can think of who’s often given that description is Kalak. Veil shows up in a couple of chapter titles, so it could be her. Very few people show up in chapter titles/epigraphs. -

Thaidakar - Deity of the Ghostbloods?
Kingsdaughter613 replied to Toaster Retribution's topic in Cosmere Discussion
But let’s take this another step. Owner gives keys to company car to staff member, with the understanding that the staff member will use it for work. Owner goes on vacation. Staff member gives the keys to his wife, who gives them to her girlfriend, who gives them to her teenage daughter. Teenage daughter runs the light. Is the owner still liable? The staff member violated company policy when he gave the keys to his wife. In real life these cases tend to come down to what a person can reasonably expect. If a boss gives his employee a vehicle it may be reasonable to assume that he should know his employee well enough to know what he does with the car. (Note that this is NOT true in large companies, where employees can make formal requests for vehicles. In such cases the employee, not the company, is liable.) On the other hand, it isn’t reasonable to assume that the employee’s wife will give the keys to her BF’s kid. But your situation isn’t accurate at all. In large companies the employee IS liable for what he does in a company vehicle. The more steps between the boss and the staff member, the lower the liability on the part of the owner and the greater responsibility on the part of the employee. This is because instructions go through so many steps that they can easily end up misconstrued. It is also MUCH easier for employees to do things their bosses wouldn’t approve of. It is not reasonable to expect one person - or even a group of them - to know each member of an organization personally. In many cases the owner may not even be aware that he’s hired someone. Generally, if an employee in a large corporation does something wrong, it’s his local manager that gets in trouble. If the manager is also doing wrong, it goes to the person above him (say, regional manager), and so on and so forth until you get to the boss. Which tends not to happen that often, as it usually isn’t reasonable to expect some guy in a penthouse NYC apartment to know that some low level grunt in Iowa was trying his hand at insider trading. All of which is rather irrelevant though, as Kelsier is a TERRIBLE administrator. If he was anyone else he’d be terribly ineffective. The only reason his crews work at all is because he creates cults of personality - and that isn’t a way to run a business. -

This character was first seen on Sel. -
Survivor and Thaidakar do have the same number of syllables. It amuses me to imagine that Kell’s penchant for bestowing nicknames has become a Ghostblood by-law, and that’s why none of them use their actual names.

There is no way Kelsier is allowing anyone to be on equal footing with him. There may be regional leaders under him, but Kell is 100% in charge. His personality won’t allow it to be otherwise.

Is Lift a Forbidden Target?
Kingsdaughter613 replied to Aspiring Writer's topic in Cosmere Discussion
I don’t think Kelsier would consider that he’d need one. He wouldn’t hurt kids, so why would his people? If it was pointed out to him he’d make such a rule. It just... doesn’t occur to him that he’d need one. And seriously, why would it?- 68 replies

It has to exist somewhere...
Kingsdaughter613 replied to Mason Wheeler's topic in Cosmere Discussion
This is very accurate. As is this. The Legendarium is... something else. Brandon’s Cosmere is too logical to be a mythology, but a whole lot of fun for very different reasons. -

Very interesting. Be careful of RoW spoilers; I’m not sure if we’re allowed to put them in this forum.
