    Kelsier nodded. “Okay then.” He handed Zola a neatly wrapped nougat. “Let’s give her a treat.” @The Unknown Order

    Preservation’s Vessel’s name is Leras. Ruin’s Vessel’s name is Ati. That really is Kelsier talking to Spook telling him about spikes, when Spook is in a coma. (Note: this information does not come from SH (HoA annotations, actually) and can be extrapolated from HoA.) It is also Kelsier speaking to Vin as she Ascends. Slowswift is a cameo for the Professor. What Slowswift says changes in later editions of the book. Sazed meant two base metals and alloys in his letter to Spook; later editions of Mistborn have made that obvious. Sazed’s letter reveals/confirms that Kelsier is still around, noting that Kelsier requested that Spook be made Mistborn. Spook is a low powered Mistborn.

    “There are. But I don’t think I need to list every inhabitable world that isn’t Roshar to make a point.”

    Kelsier snorted. “As though I’d let him. This is mine. ”And you’ll be fine. We’re further away from her than Tokyo is from Fuji-san. The existence of which should prove that volcanoes are, strangely enough, normal. At least on worlds like Scadrial, Earth and Yolen. And people like to make their homes near the volcanoes, for whatever reason.”

    Noble of Metals: The Noble of Metals features the Last Emperor, husband of the Ascendant Warrior. In his right hand is a metal spike and in the left he carries a Koloss sword. The Noble of Metals symbolizes Courage, Confidence, Independence, and Determination. Reversed it indicates Self-respect, Self-confidence, and Introversion. The Mistborn and Noble of Metals form the second romantic pair. When all four pairs (the Survivor and Lady Mare, the Ascendant Warrior and the Last Emperor, Harmony and the Mother of Terris, and the Lord Mistborn and Lady Truth) are in a hand it is called a ‘Beloved’ and may be called for additional points. It is very rare for this to occur. The Last Emperor’s presence on this card is likely due to the Ascendant Warrior’s position as Mistborn of Metals.

    Kelsier smiled, the expression strangely soft. “I Preserved it. In form, at least. I’d like to think it is better in character than it once was.”

    The internet doesn’t explain why the Greeks had a specific god for hermaphrodites (Hermaphrodetus) or why nearly every ancient culture had some form of law about Gay and Lesbian individuals. The Romans went so far as to have an elite legion made up entirely of gay couples! LGBTQ people were certainly not unknown to the ancient world, internet or no internet. And I can tell you that your average Jew throughout history knew of gay men, as the prohibition comes up in the most important Bible reading of the year. So your average Jewish peasant would have known. Your average Christian peasant depended on the local priest. Your average Muslim would have varied based on how knowledgeable the individual was; Muslims tended to be better educated than Christians. Your Greeks and Romans probably did know, as LGBQ relationships weren’t uncommon among the gods. Many Native tribes had third genders, so I suspect knowledge of LGBTQ was not uncommon among them either. So going by our own world’s pre-Christian history, LGBTQ being common knowledge among most of the population is fairly reasonable, as are the different perspectives on such relationships.

    And that was before he became a Sliver...
  11. Kingsdaughter613
    Kelsier is even more different because he actually became a Shard. I suspect his Investiture is inherent to him at this point, as he is a Sliver of Preservation.

    While others will likely Survive...

    This is a slight follow up to DatS2.

    Mistborn spoilers: (note: this has basically nothing to do with RoW except one panel, but...)

    “New Luthadel,” Kelsier replied.

    Yes, I think we should send a Kohen up with a sheep every Pesach. Specifically, I think a bunch of Americans should do it claiming that they have as much a right to practice their religion as anyone else and denying access to the Mount for the Passover Sacrifice is a violation of that right. The reason it has to be Americans is so that Israel can honestly claim they had nothing to with it, thus hopefully avoiding some of the political fallout. But otherwise I think we should avoid going up, even if Tumah is hutra b’tzibur. I do know someone who was on Har HaBais though. He fought there in the 6 Day War. TPBM thinks it’s a violation of religious Liberty for Israel to allow members of every religion except Judaism to worship on Har HaBais.

    Sovereign

    Kingsdaughter613 replied to Elias's topic in Mistborn

    I actually see him making the suggestion as a joke, then being completely shocked when everyone takes him seriously and starts doing it. Should be noted though that Kelsier only gets ONE title in the South, and it’s not a very fancy one. It’s a mark of office. No one ever calls him anything but Sovereign, which he is. It’s like calling him ‘King.’ So this may not have come from him at all. It could be something he said that got misconstrued or something that someone came up with later that was ascribed to him. Or it could be a Malwish cultural tradition that arose independently, or one that pre-dated Kelsier’s arrival, back when the rare Misting may have been considered a demigod of some kind. We don’t actually have any evidence that Kelsier had anything to do with the tradition at all.

    Bingo!

    Nope.

    Kelsier shook his head. “It’s ferromagnetic. There’s a lot of iron inside the mountain.”
  21. Kingsdaughter613
    Nope. This character changes clothes often. This character is uptight. This character has many siblings.

    Roues carefully piloted the vessel around the smoking mountain, heading toward a large island some distance away. A canal had been cut through the island, splitting the city at its northern end. A city made of close packed tenements, interspersed with lofty keeps bedecked in stained glass windows. At the city’s center rose a hill formed of a thousand spires. It was a city that shouldn’t exist; a city that had died over 300 years before. A city loving, painstakingly, recreated; stone by stone, brick by brick, perfectly Preserved. Luthadel.
