The main thing for me is that the sword perfectly matches Oathbringer IIRC. If there's a description of Eshonai's sword that would be key. 

You're right. The sword is pretty darn oathbringery. 

is there a description of eshonai's sword? I'm gonna check the wiki, I don't remember rn

I've always assumed that it was Kaladin and Dalinar. Some people say that it's Eshonai but I wholeheartedly disagree. 

kaladin and .... oh. huh. I thought it was kaladin and eshonai, fight me. 

I guess the lil spear dude in the back kinda has to be Kal. Does anyone else important have a spear? 

The thing that really gets me is the crab cape. It's a beautiful crab cape, but like ...... why wear a crab cape if you are not secretly a crab? 

ok wait i'm going to be supremely unhelpful here and ask a question but like ...... atium and lerasium alloys are supposed to make a wholly different set of metals, right? why the DEVIL is malatium (gold/atium) on the normal set??? shouldn't there be a different alloy of gold somewhere?

So ... I've been wondering this for ages now. Who the devil is the shardbearer on the WoK cover? I think it might be Eshonai (silver shardplate, red crabby thing banner) but I really am not sure. Anyone have any other ideas? 

Is this already a known fact and did I just completely miss it because if so, sling my body into an alien grave! Please tell me. This is killing me

Hey Dead moth! good to see you took up on my offer to become my soul bearer

Ah yes. It is a good profession.

Hey, moth, I'm JUQ, or John, or The Watchman. Heck, you can easily call me Harry if you want to, but I may not answer you.

Hello! You have more names than I do. I acknowledge your nominal superiority.

Hey dead-moth! I'm Orderbound. Have an upvote!

My name is funny because in Unkalaki language it means not funny. Airsick lowlander would not understand.

But anyway, I like the Wit you display! I believe you will enjoy your stay here. However, I would disregard the warning about cookies, they are quite good.

Hello! Airsick lowlander does not understand. A pity.

I have already eaten the cookies. All of them. I have sprouted a second head and have a burning desire to burn everything. I think I will like it here.

I can put a lot of cheese on it.

We'll call it good. 

Time to overthrow the government!

I have a butter knife, 2 slingshots, and some toast. Will that do?

Deep-dish toast?

I agree, it is completely normal... but I have the suspicion that you should totally listen to it

Sounds like a good plan to me. Now, if you'll excuse me, I need seventeen knives, a trebuchet and a deep-dish pizza

Considering that you are probably already spiked, I doubt you have much control over that... 

I've never understood where the whole thing with the spiked cookies came from, or why it's still a thing. But that's probably because I am grumpy and scowly. 

I'm not spiked, that's ridiculous. I'm sure the mildly distressing voice in my head is normal.

Don't worry! I have even better ones! In fact I have a cookie that is... very special...  for confidential reasons. Note: this one isn't a strong source of iron... that's all I'll say

Looks delicious. Dunno what it'll do to me but I'm sure it will be worth it

45 minutes ago, Argent said:

I think that's the best way - it shows off how clever I am, but doesn't make me look crass. 

I like you  

Thank you kindly. I like you, too. 

I'm going to like it here!

Hello, dead moth! Your username is very cool. 

I am bleeder. It's funny because I have diabetes. You can usually find me frequenting the General Discussion board, ranting about music and other completely unrelated nonsense.

You seem fun. Welcome to our Shard. Make friends, don't eat the cookies.

If you ever need anything, give me a shout.

Thank you! I am excited to be here.

Welcome to the community...you moth! (may sound like an insult...or a compliment...whichever you prefer)
I am DroughtBringer, I am a human...yep...a human...

WELCOME THOUGH!

A metal detector might come in handy here...wish I had thought of that...

Hi

Hello?

*Language speech word stuffs here*

hello, definitely a human! Pleased to meet you.

My perpetual expectation that everyone is a disappointment brings me endless joy when people turn out to be disappointments. 

I could try to joke about my only real companion being my sword, but I think that's just a tad heavy on the sexual innuendo side...

Just a tad. Tiny, tiny tad.

Except for me. I am grumpy and live with a permanent scowl on my face.

I'm sorry, Vasher. Must be a depressing way to live.

I'm sorry but I have only cookies and upvotes to offer so I give both

@Mesa the Ooklamight have some cake or something like that.

.... Hemallergic spikes never looked so good.

No problem! I think (and hope) you'll find we're a predominantly friendly community. We're always happy to see new members  

Elantris was pretty good as well. I prefer the writing style he shows in some of his later works, but I really liked the plot there. 

You can accept any food you come across, so long as you bring it through a metal detector before eating it. You should be safe from the spikes that way  

 

Thanks!! I'm glad to be here. I am excited to meet everyone. 

I will keep a metal detector handy at all times ...... 

@Bugsy6912 Hello! Thanks for being so friendly!

I've read all of them but those two, yes. My favorite is probably Mistborn, but I have a special soft spot for Elantris because it was my first Cosmere book! 

I appreciate the warning, wise traveler. I will make sure only to accept healthy food as payment, like asparagus or cheesecake.

@Argent thank you. You sound interesting. For a human.

Hello. 

I'm moth, or Brenna if you want to be fancy and use my real name. I am an artist. I draw things! 

I love the cosmere. I also love Sazed. He is the best one.

Some fun facts:

I haven't read Sixth of the Dusk or SFSITFH yet, but I got them on audiobook and am absolutely too excited to listen to them. I have a particular fondness for birds. I do theater and keep bees and yell about politics. I am unusually likely to see shooting stars. I am allergic to pineapple. I love pineapple. 

My username was taken from a proverb that I heard somewhere in a dream once: "Don't yell at dead moths".
