My money is on scadrial. The chouta thing is interesting though, if they are from scadrial it would mean they had also travelled to roshar, or at least picked up a worldhopper who knows how to make chouta.

@Kalleth you mentioned aviar possibly being of interest to worldhoppers and I think that is a very good point, the ones above definitely seem to want to get to the point where they can trade and it is most likely in order to obtain aviar. While the ones above aren't necessarily worldhoppers as we only know of them using spaceships, it does show that aviars are of interest to people from off world

Yes hot chocolate is great. I know Wayne describes a few different types of finger foods served at parties so those could be cool, though I can't remember exactly what they are at the moment

Lol Wax and Wayne slashfic. Also while I can see a Kandra being able to carry a human baby, actually being able to produce an egg or sperm is a surprise to me, and that WoB does seem to imply it's possible. I wonder if they would have to re-create the DNA of someone they ate or if they would have any effect on it. Could they pass on Allomancy or Feruchemy to their child?

I got pulser! Seems like I'm the first one, not sure what it says about my personality though

I think allomantic electrum and feruchemical steel would be cool. The ability to see things happening in the future and the speed to react to them.

@Darkness Ascendant thanks ^.^ yeah it's just something I made up to use as a username.

We definitely don't know enough to say for certain

@Catie glad you agree

My opinion is that they were just biological siblings that returned. They could easily have been told about it by the people surrounding them.

I agree that it is because he sensed she was a surgebinder. My guess is that either his aura recognition allowed him to detect it, or he was burning bronze though I think that would require her to have been actively using her abilities for him to detect it.

My understanding is, as other have stated, that they are using the gemhearts to encourage the growth of their crops. I hadn't considered a fabrial being involved, I assumed it was just a way of using stormlight that the listeners knew of but humans have forgotten. With respect to little gems also working for this, yeah they would, but the alethi could also use little gems for everything they use gemhearts for, gemhearts are just better because they hold more stormlight. Also I don't think the listeners have any way of aquiring new gems other than gem hearts, there aren't mines on the shattered plains.

Thanks for the greetings! Been very busy with university so I haven't checked back before now. @Catie that's a tough one, the Emperor's Soul is definitely one of my favourites, not a full book of course but it was so engaging and really moving for me. The Way of Kings was my first book and it's the one I've read the most times so that's a significant one. Hard to say exactly after that, probably Hero of Ages as it's full of awesome twists and revelations

Hi, I've been a big Brandon fan for a few years now, since I got a copy of the way of kings for my birthday in 2014. I've read every bit of cosmere stuff I know of, plus the reckoners. I've been obsessively reading and reading these books for three years now and I'm still discovering stuff all the time, mostly thanks to more observant readers here ^.^ Anyway I thought I would make an account here so I have a place to rant about these books, since sadly none of my friends have read them (yet!)
