  1. I think something’s wrong with the picture? I can’t see it.
  2. They both agreed they weren’t using Hoid’s contract and would create their own terms. So I don’t believe the original contract is relevant at all; they used a different one.
  3. What’s more interesting is that Hoid is seemingly unaware that Dalinar and Rayse tossed his contract...
  4. “Main Street it is.” He walked lightly down the twisting roads, soon arriving at the busy thoroughfare. “So, who’s our target?”
  5. The Sovereign’s Temple.
  6. Just a reminder that Kandra are not human by default... Kalak.
  7. It’s in the art gallery already. I’ll send you a pic and you can tell me if it’s too spoilery.
  8. So I have a problem. I want to post The Cosmere card, but it’s rather more obvious a spoiler than the previous cards. So I’m not sure if I should...
  9. I agree with this. An avatar of Autonomy seems most likely. I also think that revelation ups the likelihood of Kell being directly involved with the whole Trell thing, as the Era 2 trilogy has spent a LOT of time foreshadowing Kelsier’s return. And we know Kell and Autonomy have had dealings.
  10. If it’s primarily causing infant deaths, then that would explain why it’s called a plague though...
  11. That... still doesn’t explain why babies aren’t dying. Better health doesn’t matter when you don’t have an immune system capable of fighting viruses or an inherited immunity to viruses. It just explains why most of the population isn’t dying; there should still be outliers getting badly sick and most of those should be infants under a month.
  12. My impression was more along the lines of: “I don’t think Brandon realizes that the Common Cold is dangerous and people die from it.” Though we can explain no one in the tower dying of the Common Cold on the basis of: good immune systems, being in overall good health (most of the population are soldiers), and the relative youth of the population at least some (the very young and very old) should be getting more severely sick. People should still be dying though, even if not many do. About 20 per 100000 (CDC) die from cold related issues. Since Rosharans don’t have preexisting protections to viruses, I’d double it to 40 per million. Considering the tower’s population there should be a notable number of severe reactions and a handful of deaths. So the fact that no one has really gotten ill is very weird to me, because that doesn’t track with the common cold. Also: Babies should be dying. Straight up. Infants don’t have fully functional immune systems, Stormlight or no Stormlight. Specifically, they struggle to fight off viruses. They get immunity from their mother’s, at least at the start. If mom never had the Common Cold than baby has no immunity to it. And infants are more at risk for developing complications and have weaker respiratory systems. So the Purelake Plague should be killing infants under a month. The fact that it isn’t seems more of a research failure than anything that has been explained in-world.
  13. I’ll let you know when I find one. There’s been a real dearth of cowherding in the last three books...
