  1. I've always seen it not as like friction but like glue so she shouldn't, otherwise wouldn't that just be a part of the friction power? Sticking people to floors?
  2. I don't have the book on me, but it referred to the storm as "something new" only old of design
  3. Even Jashnah is the epilogue of WoR said directly referring to the everstorm that this was not how it (desolations) happened in the past.
  4. 1st considering how often the king messes up it's plausible that the world would be better off if he died and Dalinar took over. 2nd yah, Sadeas really deserved that honestly, nothing else could reasonably be done. 3rd it's not a position of "immense trust", they have seven other honorblades and no doubt have more experience with them Incase the truthless goes rogue. And based on the fact that we have seen no evidence at all of anyone remotely like the stories of the assassin in white, it would appear to be a pretty good deterrent. 4th do you honestly think that on any day at all of any intelligence he didn't consider that? Not all the of the Unmade are capable of this, for all we know the death rattles are not an active effect, the thrill seems to be a passive aura of that unmade not some active thing where it chooses who to give it to. Also, as far as we know, his end goal is to unite the world to save a fraction of humanity, a goal that a bunch of people on other threads have compared to cultivation especially as the whole thing was created thanks to the old magic who gave him this when he asked for the capacity to protect humanity, all in all this seems like cultivation's plan for saving humanity from odium and the champion seems like honor's. 5: the original point of these examples are that they are not definitive as to what should have been done, the first is just unclear, the third seems bad but is exactly what a skybreaker would do, and the fourth is an example of the ends justifying the means, a philosophy accepted by multiple orders of the Knights radiant but despised by others.
  5. She might inspire everyone to use sprenblades as tools, it would make a great dining knife or shovel.
  6. At any moment at all he can turn his eyes light as well, according to bridge four, lighter then those of kings.
  7. What is the timeline for when Kaladin left? Wasn't like the day before that murder? Also only the group that is opposed to Amaran knows Kaladin was involved in the plot to kill the king, to everyone else he is the one who saved him. To four, Amaran can't reveal that without in essence admiring his version of those events is false (he killed the assassin is what he claims) and even then that was before he developed magical powers, became a lighteyes and got a shapeshifting shardblade. Also everything I mentioned a while ago.
  8. What I find really interesting is how in theory the perfect response to any such action is irrelevant to the morals of the original action and is only relevant to the morals of future actions. If jailing an innocent has the greatest reduction in amoral actions and increase in moral ones then despite a basic view saying it's terrible and amoral, and it is, it would be the most moral option. (This is of course an absurdly improbable scenario)
  9. I think the morality they were talking of is people's opinion on whether said theoretical murder was justified being different person to person not said murder being justified not having a strict yes/no. Correct me if I'm wrong but I think your opinion is not contradictory to what they were saying.
  10. I tend to finish them in two days around 4-10 (PM) and a half day but it varies a bit It's honestly a problem sometimes as I often don't have something to read because I finished something in way to little time.
  11. He all but admitted to it in front of Kaladin and Dalinar, two of the most powerful and influential people, and would be accusing one of the most honourable orders of killing an old soldier after a drawn out fight with a knife through the eye despite having a shapeshifting shardblade and supernatural powers. Good odds he doesn't even bother and goes for someone else. so yes I agree.
  12. Hah, that's what I do to I blitz through any book I touch, I'll probably be done on the next day because it only takes me about 12-18 hours to read these books (closer to twelve most of the time)
  13. A righteous anger style voidspren and a highspren that demands it's KR follow terrible and cruel laws and enforce them, I'm reminded of Wax being asked how he would have treated the mistborn 1 crew.
  14. I mean as far as we know they hunt non-sentient Spren like (was it exhaustion Spren?) which for all intents and purposes appear to have no thoughts at all and be less then even earth animals, it would be like hunting a boulder. And about them having royalty Spren, was it ever made clear if those Spren are rulers or leaders?
  15. That makes me think, would pattern and syl and other Spren influence the CR form of voidspren? Has it been stated somewhere and I don't know?
  16. I mean according to pattern they have no patterns (somewhere in WoR, was it during the battle of narak when people thought he was one?) so probably very odd looking, and I doubt they would be humanoid in the CR. Or maybe like pattern, but with a patternless design for thier head.
  17. I have no idea why in the world everyone sees her as suspicious, if you were meeting with the head of a construction project or something, and the head worker was in the room, not getting in your way, staying against the wall, in practical clothing and work gloves, smiling, that's not suspicious, that's called someone being cheery or happy. You don't assume they are hiding something because they are smiling, you assume they are having a good day or were told a joke or something. To summarize the Distbringer so far, she has stayed in the back while two really important people talked while smiling FOR ANY NUMBER OF REASONS. Only ONE person seems to find her suspicious and he made that choice based not off some choice she made that made her appear suspicious but based on pretty much pure instinct. Boyond this, what could she have done? Not smiled? How in the world does that make a difference? This entire discussion is about how someone someone isn't a member of a group because SHE SMILES.
  18. With two equal options, in most situations the simplest one is right. why in the world would the Spren have a unique way of referring to radiance that is a casually used word and never just happen to end up using in any context that can't be used for the regular meaning of vibrant. VS: just using the word vibrant because it's an accurate discription.
  19. I'm sorry, the part about the author saying he/she is not as intelligent as her readers makes you think it's Jasnah because she knows that she is most often more intelligent then others? Is that a typo? I'm sorry I'm just not sure if you think it is or is not Jasnah.
  20. Sadly I don't get to claim three days for reading so I plan to read it in three days anyways.
  21. Jasnah was wearing a glove in the epilogue of WoR
  22. I wonder if night blood, an honorblade and a nahel bond could be had/wielded by one person, would it grant them powers from all three? Would they block each other? Could we have an invisible soulcasting Releaser wielding night blood and two shardblades? Edit: autocorrect likes radiants to bond bagels I guess (changed bagel bond to nahel bond)
  23. Any chance the data the ardents reference is based on one storm from multiple parts of the continent? Then the storm would not need to always come every (X) days. I would assume that to be the case because the high storms have to work like that otherwise it would be easy to predict, storm wardens would be out of a job.
  24. In my mind, she's just smiling because her Spren suggested what you just said.
