Thanatos

It was just a side thought. Is this how Frost became immortal?

Did Hoid's spiritweb get reset at the shattering? And his trying to reconnect with God? Aka Uncle Andy. And his the dead his trying to revive?

Also Roshar has a high oxygen atmosphere. Like to see someone fire a gun their.

Gravity is no more a 'force' than temperature/heat. But i get the point

I wonder how the Cosmere changed after the shattering taking into account the below. If Uncle Andy was omnipresent, controlling all aspects of the Cosmere at all times, what happens to the investiture were there are no minds of the shards there. There would have to be some form of change.

Heres another breath query... Are Spren made of the same stuff as Stormlight??? Anything else?? Vasher and co creating Nightblood, did they somehow convert Stormlight into breath, then moulded the new "breath" into a spren like creature by Awakening, to get.... Nightblood?? ... Edit: That would be a crap ton of Stormlight. Given NB is so OP. And where did the Stormlight go? Did NB's creation cause a subtle shift of power amongst the Shards. as per WoB that NB holds abit of Ruin. Possibly all Shards. Or did Endowment gain power?

@Eluvianii The Nightwatcher gives Taln blessings.... nobody curses Taln!!!

Love the originality of some of these.

On the day Taln was born, Ambition died.

@Confused I thought Autonomys investiture is from the star light in her invested solar system.

Dont know where to post.. Way of Kings prologue, Heralds gave up after centuries, inferred many times... 4k later.... WoKs. Ruff est 8k from shattering, Amision, Domination, Devotion.... then stuck in Roshar... This implies, the Heralds and the EverStorm ranged within 1000 years. Then got less and less to the point where the last of the desolations was less than a century.

@skaa Thats a good well thought out theory. Nice read first thing in the morning

Eternal Khol, Yup, thats my thoughts as well going down this particular rabbit hole.

Elsecaller_17.5, It could be a false memory but i think theres a WoB confirming the Heralds and Radiants powers are like feruchemy, and something about we have seen but its not confirmed H @ C's... say allomancy. i could be wrong and im crap at swarching WoB. So take with a grain of salt until proven.

I think Autonomy is creating avatars kinda like Eternal Khol said, shes spreading out her awareness into the Cosmere. The Shards all have infinite power, but the vessels minds are finite so they cant use all of infinity. What if Autonomy is spreading out her awareness to be able to reach more of that infinite power she knows she has. But cant reach.

Isnt surgebinding like feruchemy. Powers of two shards. Voidbinding would be of three Shards. so what is Honors power? Or Cultivation? Odium? then we have the old magic. interesting theory

fammann. I think Hoid has his motives, curiosity is one, given his nature, but its a means to an end. But what end? And then theres the CS Uncle Andy RAFO!! Aka, odium.... "No, we killed you"...?

Yes Hoid is the traveller. I assume the dead they talk about includes the original Hoid and most likely Uncle Andy. Plus others we dont know about. The vendetta doesnt just indicate its about the dead, but power and other unknowns. IMHO

Ok i used the wrong word, ascended. I didnt mean that. More what would happen if Szeths spren merged with Nightblood like Tanavast and the Storm Father.

I understand Nightbloods abilities, but i think if you ask Brandon this question he would at least say.... "possible but very difficult" type answer. Like converting Stormlight to Breaths.... like Vasher does. This hypothesis does not make Nightblood a Shard level entity. Also Nightblood does not gain power as he consumes. He just gets full like you eating an xmas meal. ... Thought. What would Nightblood be if he had direct access to Honor, and his consumption does not change Honors investiture but puts it back into the circular system? Recycling?

Ok talking with my bro and he brought up this potential. Nightblood was created during WoK with Szeth and his story at the start and (not to) finish. (As all authors set up a character arc). Then Brandon went and wrote Warbreaker to tell the story of Nightblood, Vasher and possibly Vivenna. Then we get WoR with the Szeth and Nightblood introduction at the end. What if Szeth finds a way to breach the boundary between Awakening and Surgebinding, and bonds/merge his spren with Nightblood like Tanavist and the Storm Father??? So a few things could happen here.... No commands??? A new command/s???? Sentience to what level???? Power??? Changed??? How??? Now its time to speculate, theorize, fantasize!!! Lol.

I dont think they'd disappear, they'd get pulled into the Beyond.

Heres a thought. Do all Shards hold abit of the other Shards by vessel contamination? Meaning, did Ati, Leras, Tanavast etc etc have all the Shards essence in them like Scadrians have Ruin and Preservation? Is say Endowment 99.99999999r% Endowment and a near plank scale bit of the other 15 Shards.

I dont think Nighblood gets more powerful when he feeds. Thats just him in release mode. I also think i may have found a way through Brandons Nightblood/Investiture contradiction. Nightblood absorbs investiture and say changes it from a positive charge to a negative. Its back in the sysyem but cannot be used, effectively 'destroyed'.

I think we are seeing Harmony's full power. Its everywhere in the Cosmere, but the mind of Harmony is anchored at Scadrial. And the power is Scadrial and more. I dont think a fully manifestation in the PR is possible. Only avatars.
