Hey, all I'm saying is that you should be glad you get to keep 95% of those clothes! Our new Overlords truly are generous.

Ah, you're right... But fabrials use spren captured in gemstones, right? That doesn't match either...(I guess soulcasters technically don't use captured spren, but that particular surge seems like a bit of an oddity in general)

machines need clothes too you know!

What if the laundry machine kept 5% of the clothes as payment?

I think there are theories that both the Nightblood sheath and those shardblade edge guards used at the training grounds are of aluminium (or some alloy). There's no proof as far as I know, but it makes sense to me.

This is a good point... Do sentient spren expand the space of the Cognitive Realm around themselves?

Do we know how aluminium alloys work with investiture? Considering alloys work very differently for the metallic arts... Like, can you Forge duralumin?

Since it's possible to 'suppress' a Divine Breath, I don't see why it wouldn't be possible to suppress normal ones too... Giving all your agents that much Breath would be really expensive, but I guess they would have plenty of resources.

It's been so long since I read them... But I'm pretty sure the event you mean happened in book 2. (I really want to reread them, but my copies of the first two books are missing )

That must be the Stone of Tear (Which I imagine more like a big mound or boulder, much wider than it's high). I think that's book three as well?

Yeah, that's odd. Maybe the carved things shrink?If you look at Jasnah Soulcasting a boulder back in Way of Kings, the smoke explodes out, the pressure stopping up Shallan's ears. That wouldn't happen if volume was preserved. (In fact, Shallan even points out smoke is less dense than stone in the scene)

Soulcasting is said to conserve mass I think. Though more likely, it's really energy being preserved rather than mass.

True.I think he was well trained in unarmed combat, and maybe in Surgebinding as well (though probably not for combat specifically), but yeah, those are just guesses for now.

I guess this is mostly based on the Shin's general resentment of weapons, and strict rules regarding them. The honorblades seem to be somewhat excluded from this (at least the ones that grant Regrowth), but even then they were probably not used for fighting. So likely, Szeth never fought with a weapon until he was declared Truthless. Edit: From the wiki:

We don't really know this. Brandon keeps hinting that he never burned it (though he might use it in some other way), but there are also hints that he used Allomancy on Shallan...

That's the one. Dalinar has to be fairly young in that scene. Maybe a bit over 20 or so?

Didn't Ialai show up in one of the excerpts from Dalinar's flashbacks Brandon has been reading on tours? I may be misremembering...

I think that may have been them burning pewter, enhancing their sense of balance. (In combination with the type of training required to be good at Mistborning, perhaps)

I think Brandon hasn't fully decided yet (at least he was undecided before, maybe that's changed), but it could be 15 too.If it's 15 years, then the heir could be a more active character for sure.

That... Kinda makes sense... But we also know that he has descendants in era 2, so not everyone could have been killed. I'm pretty sure Inquisitors had feruchemical spikes even before Ruin had them hunt down the Keepers, so I guess him sacrificing his children would explain that...

So... The Lord Ruler apparently had children, but why 'risk' mixing Feruchemy and Allomancy like that? I guess none of the children would know that Feruchemy existed, and I don't think we know if he only had children before his Ascension. But does anyone have better ideas?

Joffreyerffoj?

I guess it depends on how long Brandon decides the break between sets will be. If it's only 10 years or so, they're probably not going to be a very active character, at least. In either case, I'm sure Ialai will be very dangerous for the main characters in the future, heir or no heir...

There's also a possibility, depending on why and how an invasion of Roshar happens, that many darkeyes in the Vorin regions will defect. Their situation is in many ways similar to the skaa, a connection the Scadrians will be more than happy to reinforce.

Only if they were of Scadrian descent, since Allomancy is hereditary. Even then, I don't think they would have to travel to Scadrial to Snap.
