I wonder what an Inquisitor would see on Roshar, since most of the ground is stone/crem, and what the mineral/metal content of said stone/crem would be...

With regards to question 2, the Heralds have been likened to Cognitive Shadows, though not in the same position as a certain other character. When they die their souls are instantly sent back to Braize due to the Oathpact, and when one of them returns, the others can all return, and perhaps do so automatically. Add that to Connection built over centuries, if not milennia, and it seems like it's pretty certain that their souls are linked together.

I wonder what a Cognitive Shadow with Allomancy who becomes the "Spren" to a Radiant would manifest as in the Physical Realm if they tried to summon them as a Sprenblade....

I'm listening to the Oathbringer audiobook at the moment, and re-reading it like this has sparked a few questions in my head. OB Spoilers:

He was impersonated by after all...

Just got to Azure fighting with Elhokar and Adolin, and she's wrapped a cloak around her arm, and her sword is cutting through people and making them gray.... CALLING IT NOW, AZURE IS VIVENNA. Or at least using Breath.

..... And I just finished part two. .................................................... .................................................................................................. HOLY FU-

Addendum,,,, Read the next two epigraphs now....Yup, it's totally Sazed.

Eeyup. And just now got to the epigraph of chapter 54 - "I can perhaps even be surprised, I think." Is.... Is Sazed replying to the letter from Hoid on Frost's behalf? The implicatons are boggling!

Just got to Chapter 36 - Hero, and froze, my finger pointing with a dramatic quiver at the words "As white as a sun at night" IF THIS ISN'T VIVENNA THEN BRANDON IS JUST TROLLING US

Hmmmm.... Maybe I'm just being paranoid, but I'm wondering if the scout who fetched Shallan was actually Vivenna? She didn't seem TOO overawed by her, more awkward than anything else, she seems to be interested in the magic system and Shardblades, and the possibility of getting one (at least to me) and the fact she seemed disappointed by the fact having one doesn't give an excuse not to be feminine for some reason makes me suspect her. I dunno, am I being completely crazy and need my tinfoil hat on? Something about he just sticks in my head and makes me wonder....

That... is a very good point and not one that I had considered. Though I suppose an argument COULD be made that Preservation technically didn't do it, as Kelsier quite literally forced his hand. .... Though then again the only thing stopping him WAS the overpowering Shardic Intent, so I guess that point of my rambletheory is a bust. Oh well o3o

My current theory is that Dalinar asked the Nightwatcher to remove his feelings for the one he loved most to stop pining for Navani... only to have her remove the memories and feelings for Evie, who he had come to love more without realising. Unlikely, I know, but it came to me yesterday and I thought I'd post it ^^

Here's mine 1 - Dalinar, when he visited the Nightwatcher, asked to be removed of his feelings for the one he loved, to no longer pine for Navani, but instead had his memories of his wife, who he had come to love more, removed. 2 - Kaladin is an idiot and spends far too long letting Rashone or other Lighteyes in his hometown treat him like crem, only summoning his Sprenblade and changing his eye colour when he has to fly off to fight and save them from something, rather than right at the start. 3 - Zahel/Vasher will meet up with Jasnah at some point, and have some ship-worthy or at least interesting interactions when she realises what a brilliant, if belligerantly gruff, scholar he is. And especially if she, the aethiest, finds out he's essentially a Demigod if he chooses to be. 4 - Kaladin, or another Radiant, progresses far enough in the ideals to be able to create their own Shardplate, and my prediction is that it'll be hardened/crystallised Stormlight, an upgrade of their ability to retain Stormlight escaping through their pores. 5 - Navani will have bonded the Honourblade Kaladin gave to Dalinar, to study it, have protection of her own when Dalinar isn't around, and because nobody will expect her, a woman, to have something so precious.

Same! And I HOPED it was, I really hope to see some kind of interaction between the two scholars, shipping or not XD

Heya everyone! So, with Oathbringer on the horizon at last, I thought I'd speculate on where and how Dalinar is going to hide the Honourblade he recieved from Kaladin at the end of Words of Radiance. My prediction is.... That he's going to give it to Navani to bond. I predict this for a few reasons. Jasnah and Shallan excluded, nobody will expect a woman to be a Shardbearer, and as we have seen with the assassin Jasnah paid, and Kaladin's suspicions of Shallan, they can use this to gain the element of surprise. Dalinar would also give it to Navani so she has a form of protection when he's not around, as he would naturally worry about her being protected, especially now that he's a Bondsmith and has even more things to focus on and occupy his time. And finally, because I predict Navani will henpeck/outright bully him into giving it to her, not only using my arguments above, but because she's the world's most renowned artifabrian, and if anyone can unlock the secrets of what she'll no doubt see as just a very advanced Fabrial, it'll be her. The prospect of her being able to figure out how to bestow surges on ordinary/deserving soldiers, and a Shardblade to boot, now that she'll find out Shardblades are made of Spren, will be too tempting for Dalinar to resist. Thoughts? Anyone have any better ideas?

He does, he's one of the scouts Dalinar sends ahead in the Shattered Plains when Kaladin is with them, if I remember correctly. Either way I know it's been confirmed by Brandon.^^

Have an upvote simply for that

A question inspired by this thread ; Could a Shardbearer, with practice at mental commands, summon his blade with the tip pointing towards his hands, rather than having the hilt fall into it? It would be a very useful way of getting out of bonds if your hands were chained to a wall, for example, if you could summon the blade with enough precision to drop and slice through the chains.

Completely random and hypothetical, but me and my friend have just got to know. What would be the Feruchemical and Allomantic properties, if any, of Adamantium? We're more interested in Feruchemy, but Allomancy would be awesome too!

There's some good jokes here, gancho!

Best to read these WOBs after dark.... Elantrians HATE her! One strange metal Elandell doesn't want you to burn! BRAND NEW Bio-chromatic entity given away! This Highprince gives away 100 Broams every hour, banks think he'll be destitute... This one strange food makes your Aons super powerful... She hugged to the King's Wit. What happens next will astound you.

Does Shardplate protect the wearer against emotional Allomancy? Is Shardplate affected by a Leecher? If so, is the Stormlight sucked from the gemstones, or is the plate itself destroyed in the same way it would be if repeatedly hit?

Heya all, I've finally got one of my best friends to read Mistborn, and the world and Brandon's magic systems have hooked him ^3^ So I'm trying to put together a proper reading order for him so he doesn't miss out on easter eggs and cameos, and was wondering if people had any suggestions? He's just finishing Hero of Ages right now, and is super excited for Alloy of Law and Era 2, so once he's through that I'm planning to have him read Warbreaker and then Way of Kings, possibly with Elantris/Emperor's Soul before WoK. Suggestions? I know we don't have the offical Cosmere Timeline yet, so I thought I'd ask my fellow Sanderfans.

Ah, yup, that was my mistake, I meant to say it was a flashback, not just Adolin's musing Whoopsie
