Lelouch Vi Britannia

Someone make fanart of this right now.

If Kelsier shows up in SA I'm going to throw a party. In seriousness though, I imagine at least one of our protagonists (hoping Kaladin) will become a worldhopper/more cosmere aware. Likely thanks to Hoid. I've always felt that SA was sort of the "main" series, but I guess that can't be accurate considering the amount of books that still have to be written (20/38 by my estimation). I'm not sure why there would be a 15 year gap in the series. Possibly the first half will end badly, and recovering/having new heroes will take that long? Maybe everything will be solved and then problems from another world will show up? I dunno. Odium seems to be the main cosmere villain, so I can't see him actually being defeated. Maybe he gets banned from the system, though from my understanding travel in and out of the Rosharan system is very difficult.

I don't think that last one would work, don't they say that physically moving them is ineffective? I assume they're tied to their location in the physical realm or something.

Replying to an old point; you technically could allomantically affect a shardblade, because they're god metals. However, they're very heavily invested, so duralumin would likely be required.

"Houtini" means look over here. I'm not sure why I know this.

This was sort of addressed, but Nightblood doesn't kill spren the same way he kills people. He just destroys people in all three realms. But spren are sentient investiture, so he drains them in the same way it drains people. Thusly, you can permanently destroy a fused with Nightblood, but you may have to stick it in them for a while. This is also part of the reason Nightblood is so heavily invested, as it keeps most of the investiture it drains. He also is slowly reducing the total investiture in the cosmere. You might know that.

Yeah, the OP or whoever can edit the title should probably add that. Anyway, my favorite scene was- Minor OB Spoilers

Granted, but I'll never upvote anything you write again. I wish for the willpower to do anything!

Uh, I thought there was a max HP of 10, but Dalinar appears to be at 11. Whatever, he's awesome enough. Hurt Megan, heal Elend Nightwielder - 6 Conflux - 10 Firefight- 6 Megan - 8 David - 10 Mizzy - 10 Elend - 11 God King - 10 Gavilar - 10 Dalinar - 11 Elhokar - 10 Sebarial - 9 Raoden - 7 Eventeo - 2

Oh. I knew that. Thanks

I shall look for it. I was thinking of the idea for an Inquisitor choir with TLR singing in a bored tone on his throne. Although, You're Welcome could work, with him talking about saving everyone from Ruin. I may write that.

I really want to write a Lord Ruler villain song, but I can't figure out what tune to use. Any ideas that would work with a choir and a lead? Be Prepared would work for something, but not this.

Let's see.... Hoid is great. Waxillium Ladrium is too, and Wax and Wayne are a great pair. The simpler ones- Vin has been mentioned- are good. Stormlight Archive has a lot of great traditional fantasy names, Elokhar and Kaladin for example. Sixth of the Dusk is weird and unique.

Excellent quiz! VEry enjoyable, and the questions were worded very well. 44% Willshaper 39% Skybreaker 29% Elsecaller, Lightweaver, Dustbringer *Low numbers for everything else* Yay, the coolest orders are my top ones! Willshapers have transportation, which apparently lets you go into Shadesmar physically easily. So, presumably not requiring perpendicularites and good at Worldhopping/general stuff. They also have the Surge of Strong Axial Interconnection, which is confusing and vague.

This is sooooo cheating, but someone wrote a piano piece specifically for the Shallan/Kaladin chasm scene in WoR. And it's amazing, especially with the art that's on it. Here, listen:

Let's see.... well, I read Wheel of Time before even hearing about him. Then someone suggested Mistborn, realizing that it was the same author who had finished WoT. I had liked the last few books better than the rest of the series due to the pacing, so I decided to take a look. To be perfectly honest, I ended up skipping a large portion of the first Mistborn, only reading it after completing The Well of Ascension. I loved books 2 and 3, so I looked for more Sanderson books. I found Way of Kings and Words of Radiance, and read those. At this point I hadn't realized the cosmere existed. I then read Elantris, and in my reading online after finishing it heard of the Cosmere. I immediately read Warbreaker and every page on the Coppermind. Then I noticed I actually owned The Cosmere Compendium, and had set it aside because I headn't read the books by the author. I read that, then eagerly awaited Oathbringer. I finished it withing a week of it coming out, and here we are now.

Good idea. We need a Cosmere arena fight, with Hoid as the announcer. It can be part of the Cosmere Musical (see other forum thread).

"I'm especially good at humiliating!" "Five hundred points for Lightsong!" This is absolutely amazing.

Yes.

To be perfectly honest, I meant whatever the world in the forests of hell is. I'll edit it, hold on... It's Threnody, apparently, and it's the one world we don't have confirmation of him on. But we think he visited it anyway, and if he didn't, I had an alternate version. As for Sarene... I think it rhymes with "serene", but if it doesn't it actually makes it better because the next line can be something besides what I had. Not sure what yet though.

All of these are awesome, particularly "Lightsong". And I like the idea of the Lord Ruler having an epic Steel Inquisitor choir while he sings in a bored tone on his throne. And Kelsier needs to sing "Friend Like Me" or something like it when he meets Vin. But my personal favorite is Hoid singing "You're Welcome" while dragging Kaladin around the Cognitive Realm and the Cosmere. In fact, I'll write it out... **Spoiliers for Everything**

Tom Hiddleston for Ruin would be a bit odd, I think. I don't think he could make red hair work.... Someone suggested Willa Holland for Vin, which is a bizarrely perfect match. But I was mostly thinking about Hoid, who is obviously the most prevalent character. Tom Hiddleston was suggested, and that might work... but I was thinking either David Tennant or John Simms, both of whom worked on Doctor Who. They can both do weird and crazy, but I'm favoring Tennant just because I have a hard time imagining Simms giving helpful speeches to anyone.

Ooh, there's also a bunch of stuff in the Wax and Wayne books; “That hat looks ridiculous.”“Fortunately, I can change hats,” Wayne said, “while you, sir, are stuck with that face.” “Wayne's a little attached to that hat," Waxillium said. "He thinks it's lucky."Wayne: "It is lucky. I ain't never died while wearing that hat." Marasi frowned. "I ... I'm not sure I know how to respond."Wax: "That's a common reaction to Wayne.” (I promise, not all of these are about hats) (When I said a bunch, I meant two. I'll think of more later)

Aaaaand we lost by 70,000 votes. Ah well. Nice attempt everyone!

I'm going to have to list multiple characters like everyone else, but oh well. It's Brandon's fault for being too good. See, there's your favorite character and there's the best written characters and the best characters. My favorite character throughout the series has been Kaladin, for a multitude of reasons. Not the least of which being he's really storming cool when he wants to be (I give you that entrance at the end of WoR). However, Kaladin sort of took a back seat to Dalinar in this book, which is fine. Dalinar sure wins best written, which I guess he should considering it's "Dalinar's book". The way it's slowly revealed how tragic his past is and why he's the way he was is just fantastic, and the Rift is amazingly horrifying. And of course, the scene everyone's already mentioned- "I will not give up my pain" or whatever the exact quote was- was perfect. I'm running out of synonyms for "good". We also have Shallan, who's slow descent into madness was highly reminiscent of Book 12 Rand. Possibly intentional. She was certainly excellently written, but I can't say her chapters were particularly more interesting because of it. Hoid actually gets Invested in the storyline (I shall continue to use this joke) for once, delivering one of the best speeches I've seen in a book. And his Yolish-lightweaving-storytelling scene was to his previous ones as the Apocalypse Quicksilver scene is to his previous ones. The book also explored various Bridge 4 perspectives in a way that hadn't been done in previous books. I feel like this was well done, but we could've heard from them a bit more outside of their own chapters. Oh well. This book does a fantastic job of redeeming Elokhar into a likable character, and actually one of my favorites right up until everyone's least favorite character kills him. I see why he had to die for story purposes, but that timing was horrible. Syl remains the best spren, for previously stated reasons. Szeth and Nightblood have some of the best non-MC (which I shall continue to insist stands for "main character") perspective chapters in these books, which is good because the interludes can be exhaustively dull until their protagonists join the main party. We get to see a subtle-ish redemption arc from Szeth, and Nightblood is Nightblood.
