This is excellent Argent. Nicely done. Taught me a few useful things and the examples and links work well.

Peter has just said its probably not until February now.

I think it's a combination on many of those things and his desire to unify but willingness to destroy. But mostly I think it's that he's a Bondsmith, he's the first (new Bondsmith) and he's bonded probably the most powerful spren on Roshar (and that spren is merged with the cognitive shadow of a former Shard). I think Bondsmiths will prove to be extraordinarily powerful. One of them appears to have enslaved a world full of Listeners after all.

I agree and am sure this is the biggest truth she has left. Reminds me of this (though he may not have meant that) But mostly I'd thought the same thing because of Pattern repeatedly saying things like this

Heralds most likely, the changes in them probably classify them as no longer human, like Hoid. My specific guess is Tezim, who may also be a Herald (likely Ishar). Mraize also refers to him as probably not being human or at least not of the local variety iirc. Oh and @The One Who Connects

My link to the hair was a speculative theory on the history of the Iriali and the Long Trail, if anyone's interested.

How does shallan like her meat? Mraized.

I posted this in the wrong forum, so here it is I'd like to step in to raise some toasts here. Quite a few people contributed significant amounts of time to this...masterpiece of Cosmerology. I feel like it's dominated my minimal spare time for a while but I was a later and lesser contributor (and helping was something I was both honored and duty-bound to do given my WoBsession). Sharders we all know and love like Jofwu, Kurkistan, Windrunner, Calderis, Blightsong, Oversleep. Particular praise to Pagerunner and Argent for their outsized contributions. Unsurprisingly Chaos is magnificent, delegating like a demon and pulling endless long nights, working on this thing long, long before I was even a member of this site. (And my involvement with this is recent so forgive me if I've under-credited people). I may have contributed a bit but I'll get so much more out of Arcanum than I could ever give to it. Many of you know my WoBsession and this transforms the ability to gain a black belt in WoBfu. But my endless thanks for truly making this Wonderland of WoBs happen go to two people. Firstly, Mestiv. The Codebringer. He has done so much in making this dream happen. I don't speak code but I understand what he's done is not easy and I know the results are beautiful. He has enabled our addiction. And, this cannot be emphasised enough - he's not even a WoB fiend. He did this for the community, for you. What a guy. But my endless gratitude, admiration and love are for Weiry. the Master of WoBs, a guy I looked up to even before I realized the scope of this and his part in it. He made this happen. Since long before i was a member of this site he plotted and planned, and of course WoBbed. He put in the work. He had the vision. This was his Citizen Kane. For years and years from now, when you can learn the Cosmere more easily, you have Weiry to thank. He's my hero, and he'd better be your storming hero too. So go! WoB like you've never WoBbed before. Browse over seven THOUSAND WoBs, many never before seen, with full sources. If you've ever wondered where that WoB is you swear you remember, it's here. If you've ever wondered about Brandon's intonation in that doubtful WoB, or wanted to hear his hilarious reaction to bizarre theories (e.g. Wayne stole a Returned Horse), the audio snippet awaits. If you're obsessed with a particular topic and want to research it, it's one search away. So go! Enjoy the labor of love of many, inspired by one. Soak it up. So go. Dance with the WoBs.

Both from this year, Leipzig and Warsaw.

And for the record, my shippy friends, I do love you and the diversity of loves for these glorious books is what makes this place so good for so many. I mean, some people haven't spent hundreds of hours this year reading WoBs. Baffling So say we all.

So turns out Intent is not a canon term! Like, Autonomy, Odium etc, a Shard's flayva. Not canon. Nor Mandate. Added to the list. no capitalizing

This review brought a tear to my eye Chaos. For a mathematician you sure have a way with words. You're the [redacted] most [redacted] Tearbringer this [redacted] of the [redacted] [redacted] forum.

Yesss I'm finally a Steel Inquisitor! Just in time for the new ... Stormlight Archive book ...

If I report every post about shipping, will you nuke them?

Oh @Mestiv. I'm sorry dude. I hope all those things end up ok, particularly the health of your loved ones.

The Thrill came out last year yeah? I think it's from that?

Cal is right there's no canon word to my knowledge. Khriss describes it in BoM ars arcanum which is what you're thinking of.

Coz I had to credit to @Excelsius for posting on Discord

I just found out you're the flash! It all makes so much more sense now

takes a bow

Important WoPs

Hmm. I hope Chaos doesn't yell at me. Lol it was from years ago, took me ages to track it down. Suffice to say it was a light hearted and funny context, as it was repeatedly repeated by a number of people back then. This was years before I joined Feast your eyes upon the 2011 forums looooolz

As a man who cannot grow an acceptable one, they fascinate me. I want a ten foot beard that I can snuggle into at night. I mean my girlfriend would immediately leave me but oh the comfort. But mainly, I'm in a colorful mood ?-)

I'd forgotten about this thread. So I'll re-enter it with some of my favorite grabs from Discord. I'll try to keep the site-slogany. I'll most likely fail. And, coz i can't resist
