This is kind of my point. So the shards who invested most of these worlds followed the rules that Adonalsium had set up previously. But things with red eyes are evidence of things breaking these rules. Like spren becoming corrupted, or kandra that aren't really kandra

I struggle to get reputation from theories, as well crafted as they may be. I go into the social part of this website and within minutes I get like 10 reputation. Not sure that's entirely balanced

I got an 100 on my level 6 Nyssma solo!!! Top level solo, and I'm hoping to go to either nationals or All state choir

Lol I have my physics AP test on Tuesday. So unexcited

No but I know a professor of physics who was our stake president until he decided to move to Israel

Maybe I know them. What's their last name?

No way. Lucky. Rochester NY

Become really stupid

We learned in a WoB that the red eyes are not associated with any particular shard. Ok, if they were able to do that before and they had ceremonies to become one, and it is those ceremonies that the simple rules are based on? Furthermore, if adonalsium is what was the original power on threnody, why doesn't everybody on roshar also have red eyes? Unless the matter is changing the rules on the planet, and because honor and cultivation embraced the way that adonalsium set up the planet, and ambition changed the rules (red eyes) and odium changed the rules (again red eyes) now that might work. Do you get what I'm getting at?

Lol I tried but she's a very busy student. I'm just a lazy student who gets good grades out of obligation and procrastination. I show her interesting things when they crop up

Welcome to the shard

Trust me I know I'm a lucky guy. One does not run across a pretty cosmere fan every day of the week.

Well perhaps they connect to a different shard when somebody breaks the simple rules. It can't be a coincidence that their eyes turn red. Maybe we'll learn more once we see the evil and whatever the deepest ones are

Granted. But odium isn't dead. And he kills them. And they go to the beyond. Also, you die in the crossfire. Sorry. I wish to live on roshar and be a dustbringer

I met my girlfriend because of Brandon sanderson. Met her at a dance because I was looking for somebody who liked Brandon sanderson and within minutes we were nerding and now we are saying and it's a great relationship oh and when Brandon met us I got a fistbump because of a bondsmith shirt she gave me (which in and of itself was amazing, me getting of school and my parents taking us 6 hours away to Boston for the day).

I feel like it's a Disney movie. And therefore everyone was ok in the end.

Invested possession. Interesting idea. Although I sort of thought the facless immortals were new ones, not regular ones changed into agents of trell. Which sounds like a really stupid show.

Yes, the important thing is that red eyes are not associated with a single shard. I think it's possible that this might be true corruption, rather than the mixed shard power we see in Nightblood. Although it is interesting that the corrupted spren are mixed powers... And they have red eyes. How much do we know about Threnody? Is there any evidence AT ALL of another shard ever investing there besides ambition?

Ok this is my climatic post in a series of things which have discussed various manifestations of the color red in the Cosmere. We also know that the red eyes are a specific thing going on in the cosmere, but is NOT associated with any one shard. So far we have seen: 1. The parshendi when they gain storm form, their eyes turn red. Now this may be because the stormspren is red, but it also might be this mysterious thing with the color red. Also, the spren who have been corrupted in Dalinars vision have red eyes, if I remember correctly. 2. The faceless immortals we see at the end of bands of mourning. This is interesting, because normal kandra do not have red eyes. We know virtually nothing about them, but it is certain that there is something going on here. 3. The Shades on threnody. These are also interesting, because normally their eyes are green. When they turn red, they become murderous. I think it may be possible that there is an actual change going on when the eyes turn red, a trigger for this mysterious eye thing perhaps, caused by the breaking of the simple rules. 4. The mysterious red haze coming towards scadrial. I think this may just be red to be ominous, but at the same time it might mean something that could give us a clue about the color red. It's a shard, or so we guess (I can't remember if it has been confirmed). 5. Taln's Scar, or just the Scar. A belt of red stars which I find very suspicious. I currently am of the opinion that it has to do with adonalsium shattering there, and for some reason the released investiture caused a change. Such a shattering could not have done nothing to the area it occured in. Someone also noted that threnodys star is also kind of red, and we know ambition was wounded there. As for why other stars might not be red, I figure that because honors investiture was vented through the spren, and the dominion and devotion investiture got stuffed in the cognitive realm, that perhaps their investiture didn't get the chance to change the star colors. It isn't perfect, but I think it's a workable explanation. I think at this point that the red might be investiture that has INDEPENDENTLY developed intelligence, rather than being a cognitive shadow. This is at least in the case of the eyes, although I would be happy if anyone else has other ideas. I think the red stars are from investiture from shards somehow changing the stars. I am very much against the idea that the fainlife changed the stars, simply because I still find the idea of a mold corrupting a star a little ridiculous. Overall, I think that the Red is not an accident. Perhaps there is a reason that odium is associated with red, despite it not being dependent on a single shard in all it's manifestations. I would love to hear any more thoughts anybody has about the color red and what it might be representative of. Oh and here is the WoB: Are all the red-eyed characters influenced by the same shard? No, but the red is significant. (it has meaning in the cosmere)

You know that's a good point. Between talns scar (constellation of red stars), the red haze, the red eyes. I already proposed that the red stars are because of the shattering of adonalsium, and somebody else noted that threnodys star is also red, and ambition was wounded there. It's too late for me to figure it out, but I will definetly sleep on this...

Hm. Maybe the red eyes are multiple shardic influences? Or maybe it's when something crosses its intent or something

So glad us Mormons have long life spans LOL and I'm just glad I'm only 17. I will live to see all of it. Provided he goes nowhere

I literally need to be a chromium misting right now. I need to skip the next few months and get to November 14th

I Will note that part of the plotline of the chapters is that there is a way to defeat it, they just don't know what it is. So it's not invincible. Also doesn't burning get rid of it for a time?

All I'm saying is its a little more likely that injured investiture (new term there) causes stars to turn red if not contained or released in some form.
