  1. Kaladin Stormblessed fighting the Assassin in White above the Clashing Storms.
  2. I suspect they are able to create new bonds. Either between themselves and other KR (They become the hub of a wheel with the other KRs like spokes) or between other KR's (Think of the Parshendi Warpairs, but instead we will have KR warpairs that can feed of off each other.)
  3. I aggree with @Yata, except for one part Syl makes it clear she remembers very little from before following Kaladin
  4. Thy wish is granted, BUT thou shall not hear the wisdoms of Nightblood, nor his ramblings. Whilst he speaks thou shall not hear him. He shall not hear thee, though you tryest to speak with the sword charged to destroy evil he shall not know of it. There will always be secrets between thee and he. I now wish to see the great and forbidden private Wiki of the master world-builder himself. All the secrets of the Cosmere shall be mine... no worries everybody no spoilers will be shared.
  5. Isn't there a WOB about powers/beings actively pushing for the development of instant noodles? maybe there was something like that that only existed in Scadrial that was desired by others. Maybe Hemealugry was known elsewhere and world hoppers came in took Atium beads and left without ever being seen? BTW Hoid would make bank running a Ice Cream store, if only Scadrial Era 1 had had ice-cream. Who else want Scadrian Ice-Cream now? I'm buying
  6. Could First of the Sun been were the Survival shard WAS, but once Odium started doing thing it left? This could explain the perpendicularity. And if this happened long enough ago it would explain why Kriss says there isn't a shard in the system.
  7. Finally figured out why i am not getting the emails. my email got set up wrong on the group list, does anyone besides @Silk have access to the list to fix it?
  8. My first submission. Chapter 1. I am looking for clarity. I know this world really well so i don't see gaps in the descriptions for the use of magic (which is all over) or the environment itself. Characters are also free game if someone, or everyone, is confusing you let me know
  9. I thought only empty space had no in the cognitive realm, doesn't every piece of physical matter have at least some presence cognitively even if it is just a single point; at least all mater able to view itself as something?
  10. The only issue I have with this piece is that in the book the stamp that creates the wall art was placed at the base of the wall not in the middle. But awesome all the same.
  11. I have the first half dozen books on my nook but i stopped reading when i caught up to what has been published. at this point i don't read those one much (reread of WoK taking priority) but i intend to reread and catch up probably after Oathbringer comes out and that all-nighter is celebrated.
  12. I have been in line with this thought process as well fro a while. But currently don't have anything to add.
  13. @Silk did you get me added to the list? I haven't received any of the submissions for the last two weeks. On that note i do have something to submit ... 11/7/2016 would be ideal for me thanks.
  14. But hasn't she commit thefts in other countries? He may go after her for those crimes. Besides the whole point of Minions is sending them to do things you can't wont do. yes is is somewhat bound by his view of justice BUT anger can overpower that really easily. So it really depends on on how badly he wants to get rid of her.
  15. Maybe Nale will send Szeth after Lift. If anyone could redeem him it is her. Besides additional proof that the KR are returning would be good for him.
  16. I am up to help, BUT not until December. I am moving this week and am doing Nanowrimo next month. I'll be back though if nothing else to help sift through everything.
  17. So i am doing Nanowrimo this year and hope to actually complete my first one. is anyone else going to participate? if so feel free to use this thread (Unless there is a better place if so let me know please) to post your goals, stats, lively discussion on all our worlds/stories.
  18. @cometaryorbit thanks for the correction overall thusis helping me with my world for my Nanowrimo entry.
  19. OK starting with basic time definitions. Chrono-Day = The time it takes for a planet to make a single complete rotation on its axis. Solar-Day = Sun up to Sun down Chrono-Year = the Time it takes for a planet to make a single revolution around its star Lunar-Month = Full moon to full moon Nearly every other time division is earth centric meaning I will try not to include them in my discussion below. If a planet’s axis is perpendicular to its path of travel around its star only the poles will experience non setting suns (though the sun will always just a half sun so maybe it is an always setting sun?) For every degree tilt a larger and larger portion of the planet will experience a non-setting sun for HALF the year. The line where the sun finally “Sets” is the Arctic/Antarctic Circle. This continues until the axis of rotation is parallel with the path of revolution. When an entire half of the planet would experience half year Solar-days and half years Solar-Nights. The depth of the tilt will only define how much of the planet sees a 1/2 year solar day, it won’t help with an entire week or sunlight. Anything less than 1/2 year solar days but more than a Chrono-Day won’t occur without a second star or some sort of yo-yo like speed up slow down cycle Did I confuse you more? If so I am sorry. ***Again science documentaries such as Nova will help with the conceptualization here. And Life or Planet Earth are great ones to discuss the solar patterns above the Arctic Circle.*** NEW THOUGHT!: I think I know what would work for you. A DEEP almost comet like ellipse for the planetary orbit. Such that it will take the planet the weekish time frame at the solstices to round. Now to achieve the week of constant sunlight put in a second sun. The trick is to have something at the other end that will black out the suns’ light in the winter, this could be moon like body, or something atmospheric such as the clouds getting heavier due to the cold. This comet like orbit would also even explain the environmental shifts as well.
  20. Disclaimer: I am not either one of the specialties you asked for. i am one of those people who have A LOT of random stuff floating in his head so take my answers with a grain of salt. Question 1: Summery of my your seasons and solar events Summer Solstice "Longest day of the year": 1ish week of no sunset Fall/Sprint Equinox "Day and Night 12ish hours apeice": 2 ish weeks of fairly even days earthish environment Winter Solstice "Longest night of the year": 1 ish week of no sunset. not really plausible even with a fairly deep tilt to the planet. unless your planet also slowed its rotation twice a year (at the solstices) which could be in world reasons for the Heat and Cold surges as well though this would likely need a second astral body to affect this kind of speed change. Things to think about: Earth does this above the Arctic Circle there is nearly 6-months of sun then 6-months of no sun in fact that is what defined that line. North and south poles will be opposites Your corresponding Arctic and Antarctic Circles will be closer to the equator the deeper the tilt of your planet. Question #2: There are fish and plants in the Antarctic Seas that have a natural form of antifreeze so they can survive the freezing oceans. Penguins gather together to maintain body heat. so cold survival is possible watch blue planet and planet earth to get some ideas. the same goes for your hot phases watch nature documentaries about deserts for some ideas on how it works here at home. the trick is to have animals that have BOTH adaptations and either can turn one set off or is something like the antifreeze in the blood, and waxy skin that prevents water loss that may be able to work with both extremes. I hope these ideas help and good luck.
  21. Interestingly every time i start with a comere character it's first guess is sanderson connected. Are his character THAT unique.
  22. I shall be the annoying echo. Stick with the Way of Kings. I think Sanderson understood that this one would be difficult to break into As such he does a number of things with it to help First off we have the interludes these are chapters that really don't do much other then introduce us to the wider world (be careful about skipping them though you will miss things that will likely become important) Next we have the flashback sequences as i do not want to spoil anything i will just say these chapters are what got me to love the character as a person not just as a lead view point character. finally we have multiple veiw point areas that currently are widely spaced so we get a feeling of how the emerging conflicts are more then just one area. I will need to agree with @Bugsy6912 book two is much easier most likely because you are already invested in Roshar. and i will also concur "The Emperor's Soul" is my favorite piece of the Cosmere, But read elantris first so you can find the Easter eggs. P.s. nobody has ever offered me baked goods, but my English Toffee, sticky caramel, and Chocolate truffles will change your life. (I am a confectioner in real life.) P.s.s one of Melody's Unicorns would be cutest, but if it were me getting one I would choose one of the nine-pointed circles (maybe Taylor Defense) then put a allomantic symbol in the circle.
  23. Don't people on Scadrial have more innate investiture from Preservation then the people on Roshar, who were not created by a Shard? This could explain the near complete lack of cognitive shadows in Shadsmar. They do end up there then go beyond so quickly Jasnah can see the middle step of the transition.
