.S.A.M.K.M

Brandon is just starting his 2nd draft of the story, s o I thought we could discuss things that could be happening in the book. We know that andor capital city is under attack via the way gate. I forget is the gate in the old city, the new one, or out side the wall. i think it is in the new one. Will they be able to close AND hold the gate to the area? How far can the cannon shoot, and can they do out of sight bombardment. THe big meeting between nation leaders is going to be tense. I wonder if the rumored dragon peace will be created. Do we know if the Seanchan were invited? We know callador will be used in a circle, a man and two women, i WOnder if those women will have angreal, that really strong bracelet and that wand sa'angreal. I think Nyeavean and that former seanchan damane are the channelers.

So truthless are banished as they can surgebind, so born warriors so ultimate low of the low. I wonder how they would react to soulcasting people, those that can create and change.

I remember reading that book two will be set a year or two in the future. SO what would the truthless be doing in all that time. If most of the leaders of roshar are being killed, dalinor could be able to unite the vorin kingdom and beyonds to deal with the desolations. Jah keved is about to fall into chaos, I wonder if they will make a power play.It would be a major boon to their war effort if they encourage those shard bearers to join them.

They are making themselves very rich correct, and soul casters are like the ultimate resource. Were they able to make such a fortune or new fabrials with these. Most of the vorin kingdoms could be bought. How many enemy shard bearers are there, make them priority targets. Parshmen still obey all orders correct, so order them to build and maintain the bridges and passes. WHat are the enemy going to do, you seen how they react to their dead, they wont attack their own kind.

Kuth and Huth are shattered nations, all at war. I wonder if the hallodren would peaceful take over the area by giving peace and stability. I wonder to get a baby return to work, the mother must have more breath available, and ensure baby is fed consistantly.

According to his site, Brandon Sanderson said it would potentially be years before he considers writing any additional books. ASlo, they would act as way to distract himself from his own work.

How many shard plates and blades are in their possesion. If they made a unit out of them, who drag the bridge them selves, the plate makes them so much stronger, they could carry the bridges with fewer numbers and greater strength. Seige weaponry, there is a limit to the force on a plateau, so set up on a near by area, and launch wweapons, make them come to you to stop the weaponry. DUe to the rarity of blades and plate, there is sure to be such weaponry around.

Hemalurgy is taken from blood, blood must interact with metal, what if in stead, uses blood transfusions, or a metalic arts dialysis, take metals out of blood. INstead of spikes, needles. ALso, different locations on the body receive different energies. aqupucture may be something to experiment with.

We know what happens when the organic or in organic is awakened, but what happens if a living entity is awakened. A returned breath will cure and restore anything except death. What happens if some one awakens plants or trees or animals. In some stories, there are creatures like elves that can convince trees to give up wood freely, and shaped but with out any harm coming to the tree it self. This is often done with with songs. SO i thought a tree awakened then commanded to shape a new form what would happen. THere are crystals that grow and coral, what would be the effect. Clams and muluscs and outer shelled creatures. Sheep and goat, and horned animals, they all produce living material that grows, imagine it awakened, shaped and commanded.

I remeber one of the forsaken saying that Demanadrad, is some where south, so if not murandy, the only unknown place would be the land of mad men. I suppose he could be in shara, but could he really take over son many channelers and forces, its a pretty big empire. He would have needed help which would lead the other forsaken and darffriends discovering the secret.

We know there will be other planets except for the shard core worlds. Why not call them shard worlds instead, specificly calling them core worlds makes me wonder if there are shard worlds out side of the core world. the thing is we know there are only 16 shards, what would make them shards world, unless they too contain magic. Imagine each shard emits a wave of energy, that touches all as it spreads. I wonder what happens to on worlds where these pulses meet, allowing for the creation of many new combinations. Shard are very powerful and dangerous, but could they directly affect things with their minds from another system.

RObert Jordan was planning on writing two more prequals and three out rigger novels. Its unlikly they would be any time soon, but on the SAnderson site, he does want to write more. THe second Prequal was to be about Tam, it would show him in the Aiel war, finding RAnd and taking him back to the Two rivers. Its likly going to show how he become a Blademaster. THe THird prequal was to be about Lan and Moiraine and how they ended up in emonds field. More about logain and his declaration and capture. For the outrigger books, very little is known. It has been said one of the novels would be about Mat and Tuon and their activity in Seanchan. There were to be three books, with one about Seanchan so it makes sense if the other two would be about the two continets mentioned but never really seen, Shara and the Land of Madmen. Mat will be reconquering Seanchan from the towers of midnight just like in the stories. The ogier seem to be the loyal type, so secure each steadding and join it by way gate for logistics, If he brings asha'man, be could bind the damane long enough to collar sul'dam, so take them out of the fight. If done right, they wiill never realise male channelers are there. Will mat be campaigning for or against tuon? Mat really doesnt like how parts of the empire is so will attempt to reshape them. Seanchan sound like it is full of choas so the peasant would be eager for the return of the empress. If the out rigger novel is about the Land of mad mem, likly involving ashaman. It is said that male aes sedai headed here to contain the breaking, so likly their obects of power are there. Shara could be the reteeling of jains journey, olver following his heroes tale and footsteps. we finally have all those stories from there explained. With the destruction of aridhol, the cleansing of the taint and the new sealing, they ways should start to heal. If they return to what they once were, living growing walkways, filled with light, a place where the black wind would wither and die. The ways were made after the sealing of the bore, but before the end of the breaking. So could be possible there some hidden on other continets. As they were made for the ogier, they should be the ones in charge of them, as a neutral third party. Say each capital and city state are linked by them, as well as each steadding being givern back to them. If there are expeditions to other continets, could the talisman be lent to grow new ones far away, and link those steaddings to the ogier people. THey will likly also be used on islands to allow esier travel. Places that need a gate: Black tower, ruidan, the ghani tower, the top of dragonmount, tarwins gap, mayne, worlds end. I wonder would way gates be grown on ships. Due to the Portals stones being used by the darkfriends, the aes sedai will have to explore them. Likly send an object or animal through, and use the channeling to track where it ends up. Changing dimension seems to be a different setting, than simple place location. Once mapped, would be kept watched by those who can channel as channeling is needed for it to work. Also need to make sure that shadow spawn dont escape via them. I wonder if mat may one day convince the need of a keep to keep watch on the tower, of fox and snakes, as well as place the remaining gate way there. Is it only mats weapon that would act as a way to break out, or would any power wrought weapon do? Will they attempt to recreate the second gateway. Will the tinkers ask to use the memory pillars to find their ancient song.

that woman who escape may want revenge so send her life less after the royal family of idris.

I wonder if they can block their teleporting. it works by using up people, but what would happen it they used shoad, the energy they receive is contant so wont be destroyed.

In Mistborn, while the magics wete different, they all depended on the same metals. In Elantris, again the magics were different but they were all based on symbols. The shoad, drew symbol, the monk bore symbols on their bones, they chayshan createdd forms using movements. So in the stormlight archive, we know there are three shards, but we assume the magics are different but what is the unifier. There are two thing i believe all magics would need, spren or stormlight. The only reason why stormlight in not the only option is than in shen they barely get the storms, and our damned radiant knight assasin is from there. Also the heretic soulcaster would have noticed if she was draining near by gems of storm light.

SO they might not be able to make objects use metalic arts, but can tech be used to amplify the metalic arts. So expand the area affected. Also, is it possibly to place the metals directly in to the blood stream, then burn it, would that help.

I wonder if they could set up a sort of telportation stations in both teod and elantris, to allow quicker travel between the two allies. Work on empowering aons far from the city. THey need to make sure the empire cant send an army to the city, so block or control the passages.

it seems all shard systems of magic has some way of making objects magic. so it machience cn use or produce the metallic arts, it will surly push tech into unique routes.

I was just wondering how they would explore magic and how it worked. THey dont have to work, just to see what happens. Aon dor that are drawn on the air are temporary, to make them longer they need to be shaped on a object.

There are rumors that he is infact the King of Murandy, the only nation that seems to have escaped the wars. It also possible that he could be on an entirly different continet, but unlikly, he would never want to be so far from the action.

In the other stories, there are ways to create objects of power, aon dor were made into light fixtures and so forth, stormlight was fuel for fabriels and soulcasters, statues and objects could be awakened, so i wonder if the future ftl ship could be able to mimic the metalic arts. Bendalloy speeds up time in an immovable bubble, so i wonder if in the vaccume of space would this be different. Also that wont be the only ability they will attempt to mimic, they will need assistance to actually moving the ship, so pulling, pushing, and storing weight, speed, warmth, breath and energy. It will require som pieces of the ruin and presevation, possibly som hemutology to give objects power. Will this lead to a space race with other shards worlds, as they attempt to create ships capable of flying.

Did those that use the shard pool really die, or simply used it to travel else where? There will be an effort to study the aon dar and experimenting, while they now know there is a threat so will prepare for it. Chayshan will be spread every where. Will they hold the southern pass against the empire.

Well we can guess the sequal will be about NIghtblood and its two humans side kicks. THey will be attempting to deal with Yesteel in the kuth and huth lands, as well as the new awakening magics he is attempting. We know Nighblood takes and feeds on breath, but does that mean that breath is lost for ever. For the hallandran they have a new king and queen who want peace. They will attempt to make a fair peace treaty with idriss, will likly give concesstions to both sides. EIther ask the idriss king to give up his throne, and become like a grand duke, uniting the two lands, the city allows the god of the idriss to be worshiped, and better life for all. Hallandron sounds very rich from its trade, will the king use that to help his people and idriss. Make a deal, if he and the kings daughter can have a child, that child will become the ruler of both lands, but if not after his death the crown reverts to the children and rightful heir to the throne. I wonder if there will be an attempt by the two kingdoms to aquire Kuth and Huth. Idriss was afraid of war when there was simply a lifeless army, now they face a legendary army that destroed a life less army. I was thinking about the future, if it was possible to create a ship with awakening to travel to the worlds above. The magic is limited to breath, colors, form and command. When objects are wakened, they dont consume breaths, so it has poterntial. Why is it we dont see more animalformed awakenings. Also i wonder does it make a difference when using organic or non organic material, and does it matter if they are animal.

Thing as he has used elements of this story in his other works, will we see the kkell power in another shard world. THe power must have a central reserve, for the skill while i could potetnially believe it could allow for faster learning, learning or seeing or speaking a word to learn something is just too much, there must be a central reserve that links the power holders. Everything a kkell powered person has ever learned, is stored. THe more thing he attempts the better and more powerful he could become. He is a swords man, but has he used dagger, knives, shields or lances yet.

SO now the aon dor works once more, all elantrisians will need to be taught to use it. ALso due to the threat of the empire they may potentially start planning to combat them. Seeing as there is only a singular path through the mountains, can they use their magics to create a wall, or fort to ensure they cant march an amy. THey killed those monks in the city and in Teod, so they still have their bodies, so examine them for those symbols. WIth healing, could they plant symbols on their own bones, or draw the alternative symbols themselves. CHayshan has been practised for a long time, but it seems it never worked like it did then. I am wondering if it was due to be done in the city, or in the area with the presences of seons and skai. I bet in addition to many people learning the sword, many will attempt to learn the movements. SInce the city sumbol, allowed aon dar the power needed to do the big things, I wonder if they will attempt to copy the symbol for mobility.
