Farnsworth

Hak wept. Four Ghostbloods dead, one killed in part through his support. The Sons of Honor were slowly gaining in power. His training with the sword had done nothing to make him more aware of who was a traitor and who was not. This must end. Hak stood up, alone in his cabin. He was still crying softly, but stood with confidence. He did what he had only done twice in his life before now. He spoke an oath to Honor. "In an attempt to make up for what I have done to the Ghostbloods," he said. "From this day, until two days in the future, I shall not kill, nor make any attempt to kill. I will learn more about the others, and only then will I consider killing one of them for being a traitor. May Honor accept my oath" He strode over to the other side of his cabin and began to train.

Do you think Ashyn was the "land far away" or was it a warm place like Roshar? Or was it the Cognitive Realm? The Parshendi are closer to the Cognitive Realm than humans, did they come from there originally?

Wait a minute... He doesn't even remember this. So who says it was him? Mraize is a very odd guy, and if you look at my sig you can see that I espouse a theory about who he really is. It could be that Mraize was responsible for the Diagram, and wrote it while as disguised as Tarvangian with Lightweaving-esque powers. Ideas? Or is this just too crazy?

Isn't (SH spoilers) From Sel? That's pretty important!

Here ya go:

YAY! WoK was my first ever sanderson book. It's still my favorite.

Alright, so here is the 12th stanza Tis said it was warm in the land far away When Voidbringers entered our songs. We brought them home to stay And then those homes became their own, It happened gradually. And years ahead 'twil still be said '’tis how it has to be. So the first line refers to a land far away. What is this land? Is it another place on Roshar, or is it somewhere else in the Rosharian system? It was warm, so is it Braize Ashyn (thanks @Andy92)? The Voidbringers entered their songs at some point, so I guess the Voidspren came to the Parshendi while they were in the "land far away". I'm assuming that the homes they refer to are their bodies. Then, it says that "those homes became their own" which implies that gradually the Voidspren took over the bodies of the Parshendi. The last line says that it is necessary. Why is it necessary? Was this the best way between two bad choices, or was it something forced upon them?

I'm not really sure that they are Shardstairs. That seems unlikely. I was at a signing at SF, and somebody asked if a spren could become two separate objects, such as a bow and arrow. He said that it's possible, but would take a ton of energy. So, I don't think Ivory would be able to turn into three or four stairs.

Death in the cognitive realm is less painful. Would you rather be Ruin's vessel or Odium's vessel?

It probably matters if the object is intact enough that it can see itself as what it was before. It it were burned, it might see itself as ash and lose the breaths. If it's just cut up, it will see itself as as what it was before, just cut up, and keep its breath.

Leras calls him Cephandrius. I don't know what that means.

If crem is shard poop, then where there are spren there should be crem.

It's always nice to have a lurker become a full on forum dweller! Welcome to the cult of Cosmere obsessed nerds whose intellect far accedes their maturity!

Granted. You no longer spend any time on 17th shard. I wish for the ability to code compiler language well.

It could be artistic license. This does happen occasionally, although Michal Wheelan is usually pretty good about not screwing things like that.

You know, they could be the SH

How would Lerasium do this? In other words, how would it know what part of the spiritweb it was supposed to give you? Does it get infornmation from the Shard? (not 17th shard, the shard of the planet it's on)

How would a normal Cosmerean get breath?

Everybody on Nalthis is born with one breath, which gives them some investiture. People who are not from Nalthis don't have any breaths. If they are a Knight Radiant or an Allomancer, they do have some investiture in them, but the average person does not. You can get investiture from other sources, like when Vashar/Zahel gets Stormlight and uses it as breath, but the average person doesn't suck up stormlight on a daily basis. The only two worldhoppers we've seen in Warbreaker are Hoid, who has breath (we know this because he has perfect pitch) and Vashar, who was born there. So if a random person from another planet came to Nalthis, would they be seen as a drab?

If it's a fabrial, and spren are trapped in fabrial stones, then it makes sense that there is lots of crem there.

Who says they even fought back? Now they are violent, but a culture as physically powerful as that probably didn't develop war strategies, simply because a way between Amians wouldn't really be very productive if they're so hard to kill. If they didn't fight back, they could have been scoured fairly easily.
