Well, there's only one Unmade around these parts Goes to show you can only trust A Joe in the Bush half as much as A Joe in the Hand.

On the language issue, these quotes are from AU And some about the moon scepter. I don't believe it enables off-world usage of the Dor or conversion of investiture. I believe it enables the use of a different region's magic (eg using a soul stamp in Arelon) by 'translating' the symbols/language to draw upon the Dor anywhere on Sel for use in any Sel magic system

Having a Bad Day?: Get 'yer Hugs here!!
Extesian replied to Curious Anamaximder's topic in General Discussion
Just the regular paracetamol kind unfortunately. I've definitely had worse. Just that deep ache you get from your body saying ' wait...waaaaaaiiit a minute... something's missi...TOOTH!! TOOTH! Put that back in immediately. What HAVE you done?!?' Couple of days, it'll pass -
Oh that's cool!

I've never posted about myself on this thread, and my problem is minor and temporary compared to others, but I just a tooth pulled and, rust and ruin, merciful Austre, it hurts like Braize! -
That was my intention when I volunteered as I knew Spool's feelings on it

2017 Solar Eclipse - Plans? Plots? Potential Sharder Meet-ups?
Extesian replied to Kaymyth's topic in General Discussion
The times I am jealous of the States are fewer and farther between, but this is one of them. Totality. They don't come often. Enjoy it -
On the space thing, I feel like there are conflicting statements. This WoB refers to being on Scadrial, which kind of makes sense because space is supposed to have very little presence in the Cognitive Realm and Kel, like any normal Cognitive Shadow, is bound to the place their investiture is tied to But then Secret History has Preservation saying this. And having just reread those SH chapters it's quite clear he's gone far - Ruin no longer has influence and he can no longer even see the sun. The best I can think of is that the WoB is referring to the Scadrian system and Preservation is only invested in the planet. This one bugs me a little. I am also inclined to think the fortresses are unrelated. They could be as Kel saw the IRE one first and could have modeled it. But I think there would need you be a real reason he would do so. But I'm doing a SH reread so I'll see what I notice.

there's another WoB that Ruin only manifested physically through atium. So I don't think he added his own mist. My best guess is this. the prison was basically a constant force acting against Ruin, right. so Ruin basically stopped countering it in that way, and because he was still intelligent and the mists were not (they were just carrying out Leras dying wishes) they kept producing more and more without realizing Ruin wanted that. I'm not explaining well. Basically if what was left of Preservation was both countering Ruins actions and creating mist, by NOT acting against the mists Ruin could have effectively made them stronger as Preservation would have assumed Ruin would fight them. withdrawing a counter force is the same as increasing that force. I don't think this is likely but its the only way I can think of that makes the epigraph make sense against the other things we know.

Hmm I'm not sure about fancy hair, though anyone you see with gold hair is probably of Iriali descent (if you're interested in them I have a thread here). But eyes are definitely significant on Roshar. They're referred to as a window to the soul. Eyes burn when a shardblade kills. Soulcasters' eyes change to look like the essence being soulcasted. Most significantly, anyone who bonds a Shardblade or becomes a Radiant will have their eyes change to match that order/essence. That indeed is why there is a lighteyes/darkeyes and division - lighteyes are descended from people who bonded blades. Why this applies is more of a mystery, but it seems to me you can essentially view a person's innate investiture, to an event, from their eyes. The windows to the soul.

So, we know Demoux is on Roshar during WoR, he is hunting Hoid at the Purelake along with characters from Elantris and White Sand. We also know Demoux and Aslydin are both worldhoppers, in the Seventeenth Shard. We do not not know, however, that Aslydin is also on Roshar. I'm fact, from the below WoB it's kind of implied she is elsewhere. As for how we knew it was Demoux, people on this site figured it out from his appearance and demeanor I think, then confirmed it with Brandon.

It seems not. Maybe related a bit but that wasn't The Reason

They are my lady's specialty along with the same principle with eggplant, capsicum and tomatoes. That, and cheeeese, were what made vegetarianism possible. All hail zucchini boats! -
You Know You're a Sanderfan When...
Extesian replied to Shardbearer's topic in General Brandon Discussion
When you wake up and there's only two notifications and you wonder if the 17th Shard has been seeing someone else. Then you realize you're happy to share and wonder about whether your father would be disappointed in you. -
And i read that 2 weeks ago i thought the wording was vaguer and implied sazed may have been wrong about being the last living feruchemist 'presently' not just forever. Thanks C i can put that to rest

Ha! Yeah I heard about that. I thought it was someone wanting to get an already existing zucchini rank. How tragic that someone coopted the good name of zucchini for such nefarious purposes! I maintain my love of zucchini though
