also this is just a small question that doesn't deserve its own thread but how did the people of scadrial know what a church is if conventicalism was the only religion for nearly 500 years

that answered my first question but not the second the thing with the razors is interesting and il keep it in mind but i was thinking of asking him about religious lore rather then ceremonies

i honestly cant tell if your'e being sarcastic or not

elend did mention that the Obligators attitude was basically "leave the religion to us" which does seem rather odd for what is essentially a priest someone needs to ask brandon about this for such a important part of the government of the last empire we barely know anything about it

i mean they had a entire canton dedicated to religion the obligators must have had some sort of religious doctrine

oops sorry i just assumed you know allomancy and all

they aren't the same the relation between them is kind of like the relation between judaism and christianity sliverism originates from the lord rulers religion and shares a lot of themes with it but they aren't the same thing silverism is about worshiping ironeyes aka marsh not rasheq

i have started reading the alloy of law when they brought up sliverism i realized i didn't actually know what the lord rulers religion is called does anyone know ?

okay that makes sense thanks

he himself states in the books that feruchemy is completely neutral tho

if allomancy is from preservation and hemalurgy is from ruin shouldn't there be some sort of united magic form created from the two sides of the shard merging

ok thanks

if allomancy comes from preservation and hemalurgy comes from ruin where does feruchemy come from ? ps: please ignore if answered in newer books

i dont think elend was burning any other metal because they didn't mention so okay ? lets just agree to disagree i think this thread has been tortuously prolonged enough

Well yes marsh was also burning atium

Funny how you say i am ignoring the text when you yourself dont remember it he only started burning pewter when he was getting tired infact i indulged the idea of him burning metal even tho he only mentioned starting to burn pewter after almost a day of fighting

Not when there is absolutely no danger involved

he had alot of atium tho there was no reason to maximize killing potential

He only mentions he is burning atium at the start of the battle except they specifically mention how atium allows your brain to process information faster

Because atium turns you into a wmd there is no reason to use pewter when you can see the future

your confusing the timeline he started burning pewter at the later stages of the fight because he was getting tired what i meant in that quote is that he had no reason to burn pewter while he still had a lot of atium left

What reason whould aland have to burn pewter while he still had hours worth of atium ?

ok fair enough in that case use obsidian it is sharper then steel only swords and spears are still by far the most popular weapon's take pre lord ruler death luthadel it had lets say about 12,000 soldiers in it total (combining the city guard and the private gaurd of the great houses) at the same time it had maybe about 30 people who can affect steel that means that for the common guard the chances of running into someone who can use his steel against him is four hundred to one it simply docent make statistical sense to use weaker weapon's because of such a absurdly low chance ok and what if the mistborn grabs a battle staff or a dueling cane ? i am not saying dont use silk what i am saying is the smartest thing whould be to use silk as a stand-in for chain mail and wear armor on top you dont know that all that is written is he started relying on pewter when he was getting tired we dont actually know how much steel/iron he used in the fight for all we know he was almost out by the start of the battle

i am not talking about a blunt weapon i am talking about a sword i simply said that a sword whould shred the silk because of its weight as opposed to a knife except that mistborn are the only ones shown to use knifes and everyone else uses sword dueling canes or battle staffs also again stone no it isn't you could stab a man in a closed helmet through the eye openings but that's quite a bit harder then just stabbing him in the face or the neck ehm no it says he felt like he burned metals even tho he ran out only when marsh appeared restricted movement is preferable to death wouldn't you agree ? also for the last time i am not talking about mistborn, mistborn can wear silk it makes sense for them i am talking about guards and hazekillers maybe thugs

she only started fueling him when marsh showed up
