  1. Kelsier did the actual French Revolution. Quellion is doing the Committee of Public Safety (best known for the Reign of Terror). Elend is doing Napoleon. Between them you have three different elements of that Revolution. The French Revolution was not the Reign of Terror!!!! A lot more happened than just the guillotine!! As you can see, I have... opinions on this subject. Mostly regarding the inadequacy of a lot of historical education...
  2. Consider.
  3. Or Kalak is a traitor. Which is my suspicion.
  4. Do we know that Kabsal is from Roshar?
  5. You could have ended it last time. Conception is a synonym of beginning. Thankful.
  6. Generally the winner goes next. You can go if the winner doesn’t want to. (The winner being the person who guesses correctly or the questioner if no one does.)
  7. This is correct. @animalia has dibs unless @Bejardin1250 wants to try another character.
  8. Beginning. And done! Hmm... Can someone else end these things once in awhile? Please? Delight. Antonym: Dread
  9. Yes, but the similarities between how Kabsal tries to explain this are very similar thematically to the way allomancy is often explained. “The first rule of Allomancy” is action and reaction. Thats what Kelsier taught Vin. It’s what he whispered to her in Hero of Ages. And it makes far too much sense that THIS would be a lesson he’d teach his Ghostbloods even centuries later. Besides, the very first GB we meet basically gives us a variation on Kelsier’s explanation of allomancy: what are the odds that this wasn’t intentional foreshadowing of his boss’ identity?
  10. With regard to Kabsal, this really jumps out at me: “Everything has its opposite, Shallan. The Almighty is a force of good. To balance his goodness, the cosmere needed the Voidbringers as his opposite.” To put it in different terms: For every push, there is a pull. “When you push against something—whether with Allomancy or with your hands—it goes directly in the opposite direction. Force, reactions, consequences.” As Kelsier says in TFE. This isn’t just a Vorn belief - it’s an Allomantic truth! Those are the teachings of an Allomancer, - the same allomancer who taught it to us way back when.
  11. Yes. I am at my grandmother’s Shloshim. (A memorial service 30 days after someone passes away.) TPBM has/had wonderful grandparents.
  12. Conception.
  13. Galladon does, for a given definition of ‘dead.’
  14. “Eryn,” Eryn answered. “Looking for everyone for breakfast. Sovereign is not back yet. Know where others are?”
  15. After receiving the room number from the concierge, Eryn returned to their floor to knock on Adilie, KePuur and Marie’s doors.
  16. Contemplating.
  17. Eryn followed her down, heading toward the front desk. @mathiau
  18. Test. Random picture insert because I happen to be working on this:
  19. These are my groupings, utilizing both Dawnshards and Metallic arts. Change/Temporal: This is the one Rysn has (Push)Cultivation-(Pull)Ruin (external) (Push)Invention-(Pull)Whimsy (Internal) Connect (Unite)/Spiritual: This is the one that binds and is the second Rosharan Dawnshard (Push)Dominion-(Pull)Honor (External) (Push)Odium-(Pull)Devotion (Internal) Endure (Survive)/Physical: This is the one Hoid held and it may be on Scadrial. (Push)Industry-(Pull)Preservation (external) (Push)Prudence/Wisdom-(Pull)Mercy (internal) Aspire/Cognitive: We don’t really have any theories or guesses on this one, but it’s likely on a planet with an associated Shard. (Push)Endowment-(Pull)Autonomy (external) (Push)Ambition-(Pull)Valor (internal) I really need to redraw my chart.
  20. Reap. FINALLY!!!! Ending. Antonym:Beginning.
