of which Hoid is a member

Hoid is antagonistic to the 17th Shard, because they don't like how much he interferes

I don't think Brandon ever got into the nitty-gritty of how they actually breed, never seemed like his sort of thing to write about. NO MATING!!!

Sorry I apologise I didn't read fully, they have a lifespan of 50 years and can breed. This is from a WOB Brandon did. I hadn't read this till now sorry

Sazed Sees Mistwraiths

I worry that I didn't get to show mistwraiths very much in this book. It's not that big of an issue—they're only a minor world feature, and are only tangentially important. Still, they're a part of the kandra past and culture, and I want readers to understand what they are and what they have to do with the kandra life cycle.

Remember, all of the kandra save for the First Generation were born first as mistwraiths. That race of creatures breeds true, and has only a fifty-year lifespan. They die off, but birth new members. Taking one of those new members and adding spikes to them, however, awakens them and brings them sentience. They're part human, just like the koloss who remember having once been human.

However, even gods can make mistakes, I have learned. Rashek, the Lord Ruler, thought to transform all of the living Feruchemists into mistwraiths. However, he did not think of the genetic heritage left in the other Terris people, whom he left alive. So it was that Feruchemists continued being born, if only rarely.

This oversight cost him much, but gained the world so much more.

This is the quote from the 68th Epigraph of HoA. This is as far as I know the only mention of how a Mistwraith is created

If you've read HoA 

How much of Mistborn have you read?

It is Vivenna

They haven't been named but Navani mentions when Dalinar is very spaced out 

that her father had a similar problem in later life. I took this as a reference to Alzheimer's 

I've just been wondering how many times has this forum gotten theories about future Cosmere events correct and if so what points were they? There are obviously a lot of really awesome theories now about upcoming books and I wanted to know how many could be true

Thanks, Chapoids

So just a quick question but what D&D classes and sub classes would you put Stormlight characters into?

Some I feel are pretty straight forward like Adolin being an Eldritch Knight Fighter, but it could get a bit more nebulous like Renarin I could see as a Knowledge Domain Cleric.

Just wondering if anyone had any thoughts and how many D&D nerds are also Sharders

The idea the another Bridgeman would lead really well into the idea I've seen for the 4th ideal. 

"I will allow others to protect me when I cannot on my own"

This would work perfectly as the Bridgemen will have been protected by Kaladin and then Kaladin could be helped/protected by the 4th ideal bridgeman

If you want a Cosmere name that is still unique you can use the naming convention from 6th of the Dusk. So <Number Born in Litter> of <Time of Day Born>.

It's possible but requires the ninth heightening to awaken stone or metal like Nightblood

Pretty sure one of them is going to be Survival

All my favourite ones are Killed when I post them by either being already a thing or someone has more obscure knowledge than me

It's possible but the spelling in the book is Eila Stele, not to mention it's mentioned to be a Listener who wrote this as it seems weird that a worldhopper would feel the need to comment

They look soft, with no shell, but they are hard.

as he would have come from a world where no carapace is normal and it'd be hard to impersonate a listener anyway as-as far as we know you can't access the rhythms if your not a Listener 

I don't know how relevant it is but the story of Fleet in the second book always seemed quite poignant  

@Yata has that ever been explicitly said? 

@RShara I know what you mean, but I can’t help but feel like it’s perfect timing for Brandon to have a Ladrian heir especially as Steris made such a big deal in her contract about them needing an heir. In my opinion she will be at the very least pregnant as it feels like it would fit the pace of the story of Wax and Steris

AoL: Courting

SoS: Engagement 

BoM:Marriage 

TLM:Children

I wanna see how Feruchemy manifests. Also from what Brandon said in a recent WOB is that the first scene of Lost Metal is set a couple years after the last one with Marasi and Wayne doing the whole crime solving thing as wax has apparently retired for “a thing” that thing seems like a Little baby Ladrian, can’t wait to see this child snap, and then possibly manifest Feruchemical powers. The more mechanics we learn about the Metallic Arts the more exciting they become. 

Ill be very interested to see how the southern continents tech will impact the world as well as how in Alloy it’s stated that the Terris are looking for the Terris homeland again and how a frozen hostile land is paradise to them. Sounds like the Village is moving down under!!

So having read some WOBs and I’ve been becoming more and more certain that Wax and Steris’s child/ren will appear in The Lost Metal. So my question is do people think that this will happen? and if so how will this effect Wax and his character?

Sidenote: I believe this is how we will find out how we will find out how Snapping was changed by Harmony 

For some reason, I go straight to thinking that it should be an awakened tin earring. Kinda like an AI helper e.g. Jarvis or Friday

Who knows it may come up as a sport or something in era 3. Low weight hangliding

After listening to the Audiobooks I can't get Aussie/Cockney Wayne out of my head

Fair point, it is quite unlikely that the double bond thing is the case as it seems Hoid probably wouldn’t waste his time getting 2 spren as he appears to be after a bit of each investiture type so 2 Nahel bonds is a bit redundant.

Either way I just wanted this theory on record just in case this theory comes true. Thanks for the sources and debate. This has been fun

Time travel was never really a plausible theory because it never seemed Brandon’s style but in a series where people’s eyes literally glow I think it unlikely that it’s just a turn of phrase
