[OB] Justified racism on Roshar and elsewhere
Nathrangking replied to Llarimar's topic in Stormlight Archive
To get back to the topic at hand it is interesting to note that the discrimination that both Skaa and Darkeyes were subjected to only began with the color of eyes or the lack of intelligence etc... I think that socio-economics then comes into play. I think that the first reasons really feed into the inequality of societal and economic status. These in turn seem to produce in Brandon's writing a similar level of hatred as is apparent in the real world. The effect of the stratification is the creation of a self perpetuating cycle based in notions which were constructed as a means to maintain power for some while taking it away from another group who lacked the agency necessary to break the cycle. -
As @Xtafa mentioned it seems clear from the original mistborn trilogy that the memory details are stored in the metalmind and often there will be some kind of stored index to help find a specific memory. The details of the memory go into the coppermind though it does seem that one would remember having placed a certain topic in even without remembering the details.

Having a Bad Day?: Get 'yer Hugs here!!
Nathrangking replied to Curious Anamaximder's topic in General Discussion
*Hugs* As someone who is a perfectionist and someone who takes pride in their academic achievements I totally get where you are coming from. The pain of failure is nothing to be laughed at. It is very real and it can twist you up inside. I experienced something similar in high school where math was my bane. It almost cost me graduation and my status as class valedictorian. Hang in there. The agony will fade and in time you may come to realize that the standards that you hold yourself to can be the very thing which puts you over the top. It is easy to second guess your decisions and drive yourself crazy with "what if" scenarios. While at times this is unavoidable I speaking from experience can tell you that all that it does is salt the wound. Hold your head high and push forward. You can and will succeed despite this set back. -
@Quickbronze If shalebark grows in a forest and no one sees it, how much does tallew cost in Azir? Which cosmere world is best suited for your temperament? Favorite movie? What is your shardic intent? If you could have any cosmere creature as a pet what would you get? If you were fighting an army of super intelligent groundhogs which cosmere character would you want to have by your side? Pepsi or Coke? If you had to face down a pack of stick wielding sand creatures which cosmere character would you want by your side? Which cosmere character would fit in well with your family? What's your opinion of Lasagna?

Nightwatcher Boon/Bane (Game)
Nathrangking replied to killersquirrel59's topic in Forum Games & Random Stuff
Granted. More specifically I King of the Nathrangs summon forth a storm the likes of which has never been known in the history of creation. It absorbs all previously granted powers and returns them to the spiritual realm. I call upon the powers of the Nightwatcher to fulfill my boon I wish to be able to write the world's most moving poem. @TheYoungPyromancer My powers have been augmented by the Nightwatcher as a result I gained the ability to wipe away your powers. @AonEne my powers wipe away those powers which @Mistspren wished removed. Edit: @AonEne as you wish my powers wash away all previous wishes. -

Nightwatcher Boon/Bane (Game)

Granted. Hostess remains in business. However, you develop an intense aversion to all hostess products. I call upon the power of the Nightwatcher to fulfill my boon. I wish to be the master of my own destiny. -
As @Skip Hates Dragons said Questioner Is there a limit to how many Shardblades you can have? Be bonded to? Brandon Sanderson Theoretically, not really. There are some things that can limit bound that.. I can imagine people have a lot. In the original draft of The Way of Kings (2002) Amaram had two. And so, it's definitely possible to have multiples, and I had not thought of someone trying to bond every Shardblade. Questioner So that means you can be bonded to more than one spren. Brandon Sanderson Well, those Shardblades... Can you be bonded to more than one spren? That question's answer is also yes. Potentially. But there is a much harder limit on that. source Questioner The Nahel bond, what determines whether you get a Cryptic or an honorspren? Brandon Sanderson The spren themselves. Questioner So it doesn't have to do with the Orders of the Knights Radiant? Brandon Sanderson If you match, you have to attract the spren, the same way you attract emotionspren, you have to attract the right spren for the Order. source Questioner (paraphrased) How do spren choose what human they'll bond with? Brandon Sanderson (paraphrased) Well, it depends on the spren type. There's some spren that choose on their own, while there's other spren where it's done by committee. Wyndle, Lift's spren was placed with Lift by a committee. It's a culture difference. Some are free-spirited, others more organized. source

Great Quotes misattributed to Sanderson's Characters.
Nathrangking replied to Dahak's topic in General Brandon Discussion
Ask not what Alethkar can do for you, rather ask what you are willing to do for Alethkar- Amraam, Sadeas, Dalinar, Honor, or Sebarial -
As @Toaster Retribution and @Khyrindor have pointed out the implications of the three realms are realmatically necessary for the entirety of the cosmere to function in the way that Brandon laid it out. You are naturally entitled to feel the way that you do though personally I have to disagree. The depth that is created by having worlds within worlds makes things far more interesting than simply having a monolayered plane. That there are consequences which can initiate a domino effect on the real world is a great mental exercise. I find it rather believable actually because that is in a very limited way the the manner in which the world works. Perception does impact reality though not to the extreme of the CR. Spren do add an element of emotions impacting reality. The magic has a restraint the likes of which I have never seen before. It sets a real limit on the magic and makes it dependent on the true growth of the person. As far as Kalladin and Shallan I pretty much agree. As far a Dalinar is concerned I again disagree. People can only grow if they learn from their past. Despite the awful things that he did he is truly attempting to make amends for what he did. He is not so emotionless that he is unaffected by the choices that he made. When someone is that repentant why shouldn't they have a opportunity to change and become a better person?

Kurkistan Why does Awakening need to drain color, and what determines the amount of color that's drained? Brandon Sanderson I'm going to RAFO Awakening because I'm going to write another book and I-- Mostly it's a RAFO because I don't want to canonize things until I've got the book in hand. source Kurkistan Do Breaths inherently possess the ability to interpret and carry out commands, or does the Awakener need to impart that decision making ability on Awakened objects? If the Awakener does need to impart the decision-making ability, then does Awakening consist of an Awakener copying a portion of his/her Cognitive aspect (as determined by his/her visualization and verbal Command) onto the Cognitive aspect of the object being Awakened, with Breath then providing the "juice" for the object to actually follow its Command: powering both physical motion and "cogitation" based upon the copied Cognitive aspect? If so, is that copying what drains color? Brandon Sanderson You're very close here. source

Do we know the begger is hoid? (Bom and SH spoilers)
Nathrangking replied to Supreme King Z-arc's topic in Mistborn
Ahuri3 (paraphrased) In which published book is Hoid the happiest? Brandon Sanderson (paraphrased) He is the happiest when he is getting away with something. Not in the Stormlight Archive because he is nervous about Odium being there. I think he is the happiest during the Wax and Wayne series, in Bands of Mourning maybe. source -

84. If you choose to ignore rules 1 and 80-83 then you must under no circumstances attempt to milk the deal for everything that it is worth. Doing so will lead to the suffering of yourself and all those around you. 85. When heading out on a quest always make sure that your supplies/weapons are sufficient for the task at hand. Winging it rarely goes very well.
