Necessary Eagle

My theory is that, if Ishar isn't deliberately lying, his madness is that he can't believe he might be wrong.

So far only one page. Mind you, I could totally see Wayne's Mission From God as a fullblown novella.

So... like how Odium "bears the weight of God's own divine hatred, separated from the virtues that gave it context"?

I think the... unevenness of writing in the first chapter or two was because Brandon was squeezing in a lot of exposition for readers who need to be reminded of what happened in WoK and WoR. So hopefully it shouldn't be a problem for most of the rest of the book.

When I wrote this OP yesterday, I didn't have an answer myself. But I just found this SA/MB crossover on AO3, and it's just perfect.

Not counting stories you wrote yourself.

The worst part of being tortured on Braize is ____. In retrospect, Awakening ____ might not have been the best idea. This is the way the Cosmere ends/ Not with a bang, but _____. "I'm so stormin' pure I practically belch ____." Bavadin in a wig and Groucho glasses Death rattles Austerism* Two spheres Shipping, like, ALL the Shardholders Lifeguards at the shardpool The Book of Endless Pages Cognitive shadow puppets One's NSFWhand *Is that spelled right?

I haven't seen anyone mention this yet= the Stormfather calls Dalinar "Son of Honor". Is this title used anywhere in his original visions? Anyway, that sheds light on the Sons of Honor- Gavilar must have gotten the idea for the name from a vision.

Yeah, but how often do you think about the exact specs of your respiratory tract? Ash-Scadrial, K & M's perception of their lungs are works fine, no problems breathing (except on really ashy days). Harmony-Scadrial, K & M's perception of their lungs are works fine, no problems breathing. It's not like their lungs are visible where they can see the changes.

It wouldn't necessarily make Nale and Ishar correct, because Ishar said that surgebinders might bring a new desolation, not that they'd make an already existing one worse. But more surgebinders = bigger desolations may be part of N and I's reasoning.

Sorry, the original deck already has that one.

So you're saying that the Recreance was the KR figuring this out?

As per the discussion in the main Cards Against The Cosmere thread. Submit your suggestions here, and once there's enough of them, someone will hopefully be able to make a deck out of the best ones. If you're not sure if something would make a better black card or white card, write it both ways. The already-existing CATC decks are here and here. Black cards: The secret's out: Adonalsium was shattered because of ____. Rejected command for Nightblood: "Destroy ____." There are some things even 17th Sharders won't speculate about about, and ____ is one of them. At Silverlight University, ____ is a required course. Sazed opened his portfolio, read about the religion that worshiped ____, and decided he'd had enough for the day. White cards: Wayne disguised as a stripper Prank wars at the Steel Ministry Adonalsium Destroying evil Lifeless squirrels Lightsong's wacky after-after-afterlife adventures Speculationspren Retconning Calamity as a Shard Khriss's research notes Yolen

Will do.

I guess. Should it be a Google Doc thing instead of a thread?

The Stormfather pours; Odium reigns.

Just a thought: I have some ideas for cards, but certainly not enough to make a deck. And you, and you, and you might have an idea for a card or three, but not enough to make a deck. So maybe we should start a thread and shardpool our ideas together, ad it will add up to enough cards to make a deck.

Apparently Vivenna is on Roshar and will have a cameo in Oathbringer. Just putting that out there...

Be hilarious if Oathbringer comes out and it turns out Brandon and Argent were just trolling you. EDIT: And somehow I didn't notice this thread was more than one page? That was in response to page one where people were talking about Argent's Sooper Sekrit Renarin Knowledge.

Do we have a timeline for his visions? It seems to me, from just this prologue, that he hadn't gotten to the "I'm God, I'm dead, Odium is behind everything" final vision before he died. I don't own a copy of WoK, so I can't check where he might have gotten cut off.

Please, go right ahead!

That's really fascinating. There's a Lighteyes couple in WoK with Hebrew names. Brightlord Yonatan and Brightlady... Meirav, I think it was? Something that started with an M. (I only own WoR). Stood out to me enough on my second read that I showed it to my family. I figured at the time that maybe they were named after a couple Brandon knows IRL, especially since Wit goes easy on them due to their recent wedding.

A couple of questions: 1. Can we submit suggestions for cards in a new expansion pack? 2. Shouldn't the name of the game be Shards Against Humanity?

You stay at a hotel with parrots, and you keep mentally referring to them as "Jeksonofnone".

Sliverists worship TLR.
