Scion of the Mists

I read Mistborn first, so it held on as my favorite until Oathbringer, when I finally had to admit that Stormlight is just plain better. Words of Radiance is my favorite of the Stormlight books.

The rights to the entire Cosmere are all with one company (DMG Entertainment).

I'm pretty sure that is wrong (or at least unconfirmed). I don't have a digital version of Elantris, so I can't check right now, but I'm pretty sure the Ars Arcanum only refers to the method of Initiation on Vax, and says nothing about whether or not it's a planet. (I fully believe it is a planet, but I don't think it's been confirmed)

The postal system in Shadesmar is not as formalized as a standard postal system - it's more independent.

This particular forum (Cosmere Discussion) doesn't require any spoilers, and they are, in fact, discouraged.

Why do you think this, out of curiosity? If you mentioned it in a theory I must have missed it. Presumably this is referring to the Svrakiss theory.

Where is it confirmed that Vax is definitely a planet and not some other type of location? I thought that it was ambiguous.

That's awesome! Feel free to add it to the Gallery: https://www.17thshard.com/forum/gallery/

I'm assuming you're still talking about reverse-conjoining. The force applied by the sun to objects on a planet is much, much less than the gravitational force applied by the planet itself. Yes, the sun is much larger than the planet, but it's much, much farther away.

@BrightnessSamantha that's amazing! I hope I can get my kids interested in his books when they're older.

Here's the full list:

We don't know that. Odium is also hiding from Cultivation, in a way. He's limited in how much he can extend himself because he "fears a strike from Cultivation" per the Stormfather. The intents of the Shards certainly affect their ability to fight one another, but do not exclusively define their abilities. We know that Shards can just up and smite someone, regardless of their intent.

To expand a little bit, Damnation (hell) and the Tranquiline Halls (heaven) are real places (Braize and Ashyn, respectively); however, they are not the afterlife. They are different planets in the Rosharan system. When people die (with very few exceptions), they go to the Cosmere's afterlife: the Beyond. Once something/body goes Beyond, they're not coming back. Eshonai is dead and gone, as confirmed by the WoB that @Nathrangking posted.

The Coppermind (basically the Cosmere Wikipedia) is a great resource for these types of questions: https://coppermind.net/wiki/Order_of_Willshapers

Yes, we've since had the order (tentatively) confirmed. The thread you're replying to is a year and a half old.

Even regular bullets would do pretty well. There's a hot-off-the-press WoB from the recent Orem signing that it would only take two or three bullets to break Shardplate.

There are already numerous predictions threads. It's helpful to do a quick search before making a new topic to see if you can add to an existing one. It helps keep the forums clean.

Well we know for sure that he has an actual Aether crystal - Brandon's confirmed it. Not sure how that'd leave a stain, especially since he can't use it.

Most of the newer story comes from short stories on Wizards' website. I've been using this post to browse through them: https://www.mtgsalvation.com/forums/magic-fundamentals/magic-storyline/649232-magic-storyline-resources-the-stories-and-lore-are

I don't think there are any topics that aren't important enough for their own thread. It's much cleaner for threads to be focused on just one topic.

In chapter 15 of Oathbringer, Shallan is training with Adolin, and he asks her if she has Plate. Here's her response:

Oops. Forgot to tag @Ashertliden and @Rhapsody. And include a link to the gameboard.

Nice theories. One thing to add is that we know that as an Allomancer becomes more skilled, they are able to relax the "center of mass" restriction on both the target object and themselves. This can (kind of) explain things like hovering and Zane twisting in mid-air. Also, have you checked out this thread?

The blue team’s next clue is: Nightwatcher 1

There are a number of Reckoners WoBs. You can easily do a search for them: https://wob.coppermind.net/adv_search/?query=Reckoners
