    Note that we don't actually know whether he had the children before or after he ascended. Considering how much effort he went to prevent feruchemy from existing, I don't see him intentionally procreating and causing that to happen. As such, I'm more of the opinion that he had children before, in which case he might've turned them into mistwraiths.

    Yeah, he probably had children before he ascended, I don't really think this is going to be very relative to the story, it's just an interesting fact and that's it.

    Granted. The nightwatcher turns you into a kandra, and you may now fully control your transformations.

    As your bane, your wish has caused the deaths of two people who were used to make your spikes.

     

    I wish for truth.

    Fine, you will have truth, but you will be unable to speak or hear.

     

    I wish to be a narwhal

    I would like for the investigation of the murder to take at least half of the book, and I want consequences to happen. I would like even more if Dalinar was carrying out the investigation, him figuring out what Adolin did would be a very emotional scene. If there are no consequences, the danger that the characters are going through will not be real anymore, it would just be like: "Oh no, Kaladin's in danger. He didn't kill off Adolin when he could have, why the Damnation would he kill off Kaladin?".

  10. Any more Mistborn?

    So I've been wondering about Mistborn, specifically actual full blooded mistborn. Are they still possible in the second era? Suit seemed to indicate that it was only a matter of time for a full blooded feruchemist to be born and based on the fact that there are ferrings and twinborn that doesn't sound so far fetched. But when it comes to allomancers and the possibility of a new mistborn....well that's been a question that has been nagging at me and from what I've read seems to be a point that everyone has ignored, putting aside suits attempt to "create" a mistborn through hemalurgy.

    Its for that reason that I asked. One theory is that Hoid has a bead of Lerasium, maybe he was intending to bring back mistborn (although that doesn't seem likely). Although if he did give the Lerasium bead to someone, probably Wax, would that mean that he reintroduced the possibilty of mistborn or that someone would become a single mistborn unable to bread any more. What's people's thoughts on this? As usual sorry for the lack of eloquence in my explanation and general mishmash of words.  

    P.S. As an aside I think that allomancy is becoming weaker, by the last era it will probably be incredibly rare. Which will make for some tense stuff if any more "evil" shards are around then. 

    P.S.S Another thought about the above statement. Harmony is new to the whole godhood business, it's entirely possible that he just hasn't figured out a way to create mistborn. But as a counter to that he may also be allowing Allomancy/ Hemalurgy/ Feruchemy to die out naturally. No idea why he would do that just a thought. 

    I hope the Mistborn return, but it isn't likely it will be Hoid's fault, he isn't the kind of guy to waste very valuable resources on someone other than himself. If it ever happens, I think it will be because Harmony will grant someone Allomancy, probably because of the fight he will inevitably have against Trell.

    You will constantly be thinking about creative ways to kill yourself. When you die, your bane will have been nullified...

     

    I wish to be able to wield both Saidin and Saidar.

    Fine, but you will be a mutation of a man and a woman and you will look so ugly that you will drink Bleach

  19. [AU/BoM Spoilers] Did Rian hear from Trell? (plus some Trell=Autonomy musing)

    in Cosmere Discussion

    I noticed something interesting in a SoS reread last night. At the end of chapter 7, Wax goes in to interrogate Rian, the spiked man who tried to shoot Winsting. Here's a rough quote:

    Two chapters later it is revealed that Rian was spiked by some unknown metal (likely trellium). In that same chapter, Wax hears a voice in his head while wearing his earring.

    In both cases, Wax assumes that the voice he hears is Paalm. But... does that really make sense? There's really no precedent for a person (including kandra) to talk to somebody via Hemalurgy. Isn't it much more likely that some other Shard is at work? "Someone else moves us lawman." Given the context revealed in BoM, doesn't it seem likely that Trell is at work here?

    In fact, I'd like to go even a step further. I'm reading this in the context of the new info released with AU, where we learned that (1) Bavadin is female (technically, at least) and (2) Autonomy is away from Taldain, meddling somewhere else. This context made the "she" stand out to me. What if "she"=Trell=Autonomy?

    I'm not super familiar with Era 2 Mistborn, so help me out if I'm missing something in all of this. Isn't Paalm's message and mission about "freeing" Scadrial from Harmony's control? How certain are we that Paalm is acting completely on her own here? She IS spiked by some unknown metal. Presumably trellium. Are we really sure that she wasn't (at least partially) under the influence of another Shard? A Shard who wants to divorce a planet from the control of Harmony?

    Remember: "Someone else moves us lawman."

    Very likely. I think the whole Wax and Wayne series have been leading up to this. Since the first chapter with Bloody Tan, and then with Miles, Paalm, Rian, this post made me change my opinion on The Who is Trell question. At first, I thought Trell was Odium, but I was not thinking outside the box. Now, we know that Odium is the Bad Guy in Stormlight and that the Wax and Wayne series take place between Stormlight 5 and Stormlight 6. So, in the scene in which Edwarn is killed, the Faceless Inmortal tells him that Trell now wants to destroy Scadrial. I thought about this for a long time, and I now think that Odium will be splintered in Stormlight 5 and Bavadin will take his power.

    I noticed something SUPER interesting in a SoS reread just now. Thought about making a new topic, but this one seems close enough...

    At the end of chapter 7, Wax goes in to interrogate Rian, the man who tried to shoot Winsting. Here's a rough quote:

    From here Rian goes on to point out the coin buried in his skin and so on. Now, I'm not particularly familiar with SoS. But I don't think we've ever had much reason to find this interaction very notable.

    But now we have this news that Autonomy (Bavadin, rather) is female. And the "she" really catches my eye, folks. I think we generally assume Wax is correct that Rian is talking about Paalm. But isn't it clear that something else is at work behind all that we've seen?

    Follow me. What if Trell is the "she". Rian didn't hear from a faceless immortal. He heard from God. Harmony? No, some other God. Trell. Autonomy. Bavadin.

    Do we have a good idea of what Autonomy's Intent looks like in practice? Because this line sounds suspicious to me: "She promised me freedom..." A "she" promising freedom, and the guy think's she's a god? We know Autonomy has left Taldain and is up to something. I'm curious if this little conversation is one that's going to have SO much more deep meaning in retrospect, after Trell is revealed.

    That's all.

    As an aside, Trell can't be multiple Shards, I think. There's a recent WoB that Harmony is the only vessel holding multiple Shards. Brandon cited Dev & Dom as the only other case where two shards are mixed. (Besides Harmony) I think this is from the recent Chicago signing. The outdoor Q&A.

     

    When I said that Trell was multiple Shards, I didn't mean as in Harmony, I meant that the identity of Trell has been taken by two or more Shards throught Scadrial's history. Trellagism, the initial Trell religion, was extremely different from Trellism, Trell's religion in Wax and Wayne. So I mean that the Shard that created Trellagism is not the same Shard that invented Trellism

    I fell into Branderson's work after reading his first "ghost co-written" WoT book, then picking up Mistborn and Elantris, and then the ride never stopped :)

    I've found and read this forum many times over the past few years, and itched to jump into some discussions only to find they were from 2-3 years ago, and finally figured, no way to get into them without being a forum member, so here I am!
