Well, King of Kharbranth or Hoid or someone else manipulated Parshendi and achieved their goal. We don't know the goal under this agenda yet. Oh well, have to wait I guess.

Lord Ruler was a sliver of 1 shard for 1000 years and he got that much strong. I don't know about you, but if I see 16 shards near me... I'll get at least one of them, or I will get partial power from all of them. And after several thousands of years my powers would be awesomely Kick Arse! The guy who doesn't have this kind of power cannot challenge Odium.

1) Stark should have been smart enough at least not to send his people to ranging when so many of them were mysteriously disappearing. He should have been smart enough to stay at the Wall defending it when strange things were happening there. He chopped the head of a 40 year veteran whose eyes were filled with fear! A 40 year Veteran can be feared of what?!! if not for Others? Stark should have been honorable enough not to confess for the things he didn't do ! He should have been smart enough to at least consider: They fooled me once (King's wife) They fooled me twice (City garrison) So now they'll fool me thrice and kill me even if I confess!!! I do truly hate STUPID main characters 2) As for Mistborn 2 and 3... Now, after your words, I'm considering to read Warbreaker first and then read those 2. This way I may be able to forget a bit Wiki content He could have done many things: - He could've stayed behind in his region saying to his old pal King: Brother, sorry I can't do that. - He could've stayed behind in his region explaining to King that there are very bad things happening near the Walls. - Even if he went with king. He is a Hand of the King. The Second person in a Kingdom. He could've gathered all the main people near King and stated to them that all the king's children are bastards and gave them the proof. This way nothing happens. As for the King himself. He is stupid as well. How come he couldn't notice that his children from his wife didn't look like him. While his bastard children looked like him I like my kings especially main characters to be smart

I wonder what will be the difference of making love with and without using pewter. P.S. Dear admins, if the sentence above is considered obscene, please feel free to delete it.

any updates?

What is the definition of Staff and Admin? Are they both - moderators? Or staff means a person who works for Brandon?

Lmao, that's neat. Personally, I'd give Blue Ajah: Branden Sanderson's "Complete Cosmere Series" which includes more than 30 books upon finishing.

Off topic: Is there a chance that Jordan wrote one ending and TOR could persuade Harriet/Sanderson to change that ending to make it look better for financial purposes?

You may consider it as a side affect of sheer awesomeness of using the Eye of the World!

If Brandon decides not to write those additional books, I'm pretty certain that there will be people/fans who's gonna be tempted to write them unofficially

10 books in 2 months? That's insane! It's like non stop reading and doing nothing else? P.S. If you use Ipod and listen to audiobooks and spend at least 6 hours a day listening to the books. It takes 53.5 days to finish the book N10. So I guess you are right

Good work. R u planning to continue?

Chat is good. People can share their reading methods skills, seducing skills, allomancy skills

Lyssie, TYVM for all your hard work.

Simple question, which is true: 1)Staff>Admin? 2)Admin>Staff?

I got to know him only after he started writing WOT. He does a great job in WOT and WOK.

Who is Hoid? - He is the one who knew shard holders from before Adonalisium (spelling) has shattered to 16 pieces. That's thousands of years ago. So he lives long. - He is the one who can travel through Worlds and can take people with him to travel. - He is strong enough not to worry about assasination attempts to his life. - He is the one who was present when Adonalisium shattered to 16 pieces. - He is the one who openly tries to fight against Odium. If I made any mistakes please correct me. And if you have something to add please do so. Therefore, taking into consideration all of the above facts, one can assume that maybe when he saw 16 shards he was hesitant to possess one particular shard as he was afraid of responsibility and hold and released each and every one of the shards and became sliver of all? Only this kind of powerful being can fight Odium and not be afraid.

Not started Mistborn 2 yet. But planning to read it. P.S. Wind, can you check the thread "In Topic: Cosmere 101 & Basic Q&A" I have some questions there.

You have a point. But, how did he end up knowing so much information about Szeth? And how did Parshendi end up with Szeth's oathstone? We need to fill the gap between Merchant owning Szeth and Parshendi owning Szeth. It is a huge and important gap What if it was Hoid who gave an oathstone to Parshendi? Hoid definitely do not need Szeth's services and his oathstone. That's for sure. However, he may had to kill Gavilar if he found out some important thing about Gavilar's plans in using that black stone.

Hoid: If the author of the famous letter is indeed Hoid, it means that he knows shard holders intimately. Therefore, he lives for thousands of years. He is writing to one of the shard holders to help him in his quest. That suggests that Hoid is a very powerful person/being. So, I guessed that he is a sliver of all 16 shards. My understanding was that the question and answers were regarding Mistbron and not Elantris. So, I put the answers in this light: You've interacted with two directly. Preservation and Ruin in Mistborn with their powers - Allomancy and Hemallurgy. One is a tough call. You've never met the Shard itself, but you've seen its power. Shard is unknown but its power is Ferumchemy. The other one you have not met directly, but have seen its influence. My guess is the shard's influence is mists themselves. But i may be wrong. Its all guess though.

Thanks for your answer. Can you give me your opinion for my second question about Feruchemy as well? As for Hoid, If he is not a sliver, how come he has an ability to live a long life and travel through Worlds ? Heralds were gone thousands of years ago, yet Hoid knew them personally and he greeted the tenth Herald as an old friend.

First of thanks Shiv for editing. Secondly, I must confess. I've read WOK and enjoyed it very much. Then, I've read Mistborn 1. Enjoyed it. But, came to conclusion that the World itself centered around 1 city and it affected me negatively. So, after reading wiki pages of Mistborn 2 and 3, I decided against reading them. I came to conclusion that the main characters acted unreasonably yet again After this I came here. And fun things started happening to me as I've learned that Mistborn, Elantris, Warbreaker and WOK are happening in one universe. And each one was a small sample of a huge goody, which made me to change my mind on Mistborn trilogy. Now, I decided to read each and every book of Cosmere Universe. The only negative part about it though... TIME... I wonder when this whole thing will be finished. Dragonsteel - 7 books, Mistborn - 6 more books, WOK - 9 more books... That's several decades at the least...

One question. Can one assume that Hoid is a sliver of all the 16 Shards? If he was present during the creation of 16 shards, and if we know that he is not a holder of any one particular shard, can we assume that he temporarily hold on to every 16 shards and became a sliver of them all? Do I make sence? *************** second question***************** This quoate is from wiki this quote is from "The Hero of Ages/Epigraphs" Can we take into consideration the bolded sentence from the first quote and apply it to bolded description in the second quote and consider that Feruchemy comes from the third shard's power? Just asking...

Windrunner, This theory of yours is brilliant! good read. thanks a lot !

Recently I enjoyed listening to Brandon Sanderson's interview. And Brandon said that he couldn't finish reading The Game of Thrones for whatever reasons. Well, I was waiting to read this series by Martin for a long time. But, Brandon's comments made me to take a look at it. I read first 10 chapters. Then some comment in the book made me to take a look at wiki pages of The Song of Ice and Fire. I started reading wiki and found out that The King will be murdered, Eddard Stark dies stupidly, then his sones and many good people. And the reson for all these deaths is Eddard's stupidity. - Eddard Stark goes to capital. leaving behind an enemy Theon in his family! Who later kills his sons! - Eddard Stark hates the family of the King's wife, - He knows this family is treacherous and doesn't know the meaning of honor, - Stark is considered a great general, as he fought many battles alongside King. He should be smart, no? - Yet Eddard Stark tells King's wife that he knows that her children are illegitimate. - King's wife kills her husband, and all hell breaks lose. After wiki pages, I couldn't continue reading that stuff. I just don't like stupid actions by main charcters. Maybe I'm wrong to judge so fast. But I like my main characters to be reasonable. Edit: Edited your topic title to mention that there are spoilers within. Some people have issue with those, for some reason. -Shiv
