There are a LOT of different shades of blond hair. Kell is usually pictured with a yellow blond or flax blond, but he has ash blond on the cover of Secret History. It makes me wonder: what shade of blond is his hair? I like ash, but what do you all think? I actually know people who have most of these colors naturally. My childhood BF had white blond, and my little sister had copper blond/golden blond/honey blond depending on the time of year. (She had weird hair; don’t ask.) I’ve seen just about every shade between. There are more variants than listed here, but some of them are almost never found naturally so I didn’t list them. Others were just too close to the ones listed. Feel free to suggest them though!

Which is why Kell won’t get into one. He’ll pull himself somewhere else. He is far more maneuverable then Wax because he has both iron and steel. He can also pull Wax’s gun.

Taln is drawn with Shin eyes in the SA game. Notable, because other characters are drawn with epicanthic folds - even in the same picture. Also because some (at least one) of the cards had elements from RoW. The cards are the first place I’ve really seen Rosharans consistently depicted as having epicanthic folds, so Taln having Shin eyes there is pretty noticeable.

Ash is mentioned to have Shin eyes.

It could mean the Fused have some VERY good strategists working for them. They know Dalinar was an accomplished general. Deliberately arranging your troops to encourage an attack where YOU want it is an old trick. It’s entirely possible that both Dalinar (who knew retaking Alethkar wouldn’t work; he’s just emotionally attached) and the Mink are being conned.

The oldest I found was from 2016, with the same answers. So Brandon seems to be pretty consistent on that answer. No ones asked in awhile though... This is non-powered only, mind. In a powered fight team Scadrial wins if they team up, because time manipulation gives them an extraordinary edge.

Yeah, I thought he did on page, but I couldn’t remember. Thanks for confirming!

Very badly. He’s not someone who lies often, and I doubt he would when there was no reason to.

I’m assuming Wax was burning steel during the fight - and Kell has bronze. The question is: is Kell good enough with bronze to recognize different metals? I think he is, but I could be wrong.

Censoring is different than outright lying. I think someone needs to remind Brandon about that epigraph...

Problem is that Saze was already Harmony when he wrote it. As Harmony he understood completely the magic systems born of his existence. So it’s not just a matter of saying Saze was wrong; doing so effects how much Shards understand their own magic systems.

Was there any mention of rings or bracelets?

Fine. I’ll just put it with the other one. (For those wondering: There’s a Silmaril (lit. Radiant Gem) at the bottom of the sea in LOTR. Ulmo is the Vala of the seas.)

Well, it’ll be a Mistborn series. So I’d be very surprised if Scadrians were the villains as our heroes will likely be Scadrians. On the other hand, Scadrians could be on both sides.

And if the ‘Feanor’s spirit is in the gems’ theory is correct, we could have a Feanor CS! But I think Maglor would be very dangerous on Roshar. [Sings with perfect resonance at full power. Large portion of Roshar shatters.]

Exactly. He changed them on multiple levels; the healing of disabilities was minor compared to the Kolos, or altering the people’s lungs and digestive tracts. Probably their skin too, though that would have been more minor a thing.

Gotta ask: how mad were you when Oracle went back to being Batgirl? Because I was furious, and I’m not disabled. I’d never known her as anything but Oracle, and thought the change cheapened her character tremendously. As an aside, regarding chronic pain: Both Kell and Marsh have this, although it’s quite subtle for the former. Kell’s scars do bother him, and he experiences phantom pains. It’s VERY easy to miss though, since the character naturally tends to ignore it. (Which is completely in character for him.) Marsh is in quite a bit of pain from the moment he becomes an Inquisitor. Saze may have helped this, via a literal act of god. Regarding Spook: I don’t see him as a disabled character at all, actually. Maybe it’s because I’m in the psych field, but I always saw him as more like a drug addict. It was like he was addicted to Tin, always needing to burn it. Even his reasoning fits with many addicts. So Saze didn’t cure his disability so much as he healed the damage from Spook’s Tin addiction, if that makes sense. However, Harmony did heal all the disabled Scadrians upon his Ascension. I’d probably have been annoyed if it wasn’t so obviously intended to parallel the Revelation at Sinai, where God is said to have done the same. Brandon was clearly trying to go for that resonance, what with the hill covered in flowers and the people’s leader receiving a holy book. So in that particular case it made sense, since those things do all go together in a way that’s supposed to feel familiar to us.

If TLR is on there, Sovereign Kell should probably be right above or below as he is (probably) Fullborn. Or able to fake it well enough for their to be no difference.

Kell survived much harsher conditions - without ANY powers. Remember that time he snuck into a noble’s house and murdered seven people, all before he ever snapped? And he didn’t get caught. Kell may not be the better allomancer, but he’s lived and survived under much harsher conditions, with no powers beyond his own wits. He’s a conman first, before everything. If he survives, he gets away. He’s also MUCH more powerful than Wax allomantically. Wax lives at a time when the powers are mostly diluted; Kell was unusually powerful in a time when the powers were stronger. Kell would know not to take metal against a coinshot. He ingests all his metals prior, leaves the rest, uses his coin bag to confuse Wax, and stabs him in the back. Oh, and if Kell knew what a bullet was, he could do the same trick as Wax. We’ve seen him do it with the metal bars.

Don’t worry. Brandon has repeatedly stated that Earth is not part of the Cosmere. On the other hand, someone needs to write this story: The Silmaril somehow migrates to the Cosmere and Macalaure follows to a world where oaths are binding... and his has reawakened... Seriously, how much trouble would a First Age elf cause on Roshar? Especially one with a remarkable talent for music - and rhythm. All the music/rhythm stuff on Roshar reminds me of Arda.

But throwing Radiant Gems in works quite well. (Particularly if an infamous kinslayer is guarding the shore.) It’s not like they could attach it to the helm of a white ship and turn it into the Morning Star with a tragic hero at the helm... Someone should suggest it to Cultivation.

Kell is sneakier though, and willing to things Wax isn’t. He’s spent most of his life hiding and giving people the slip. Remember: he survived a VERY long time without allomancy. He gets away, as long as he can survive the first bullet, and Wax dies shortly thereafter.

Didn’t his eyes change color after he bonded a shardblade?

I used would instead of could intentionally. Kelsen cannot argue, because it is his fault, but he would anyway. So in this context could is inaccurate. I’ll add in your words and edit the other sentence.
