Scion of the Mists

I think that she's as good of a guess as anyone. She does get a decent amount of screen time without playing a major role, which could point to her being important for a non-plot related reason (i.e. she's the secret kandra). P.s. Since you specifically asked for feedback on your presentation, I would recommend splitting your post up into paragraphs - it makes it much easier to read.

Jasnah's resonance has not been confirmed (I don't even remember a discussion about it). Wayne's resonance has not been revealed either (his acting is confirmed to not be magical). Wax's resonance is In my opinion, none of the resonances are match up particularly well with the input powers, so it makes it impossible to guess. If you squint, sometimes you can make a connection (e.g. Kaladin "attracting" people and "binding" them to him -> lots of squires), but only in hindsight. No clue how light + transformation yields cool memory powers.

There's a recent WoB that clarifies that you still have resonances when you have lots of powers, they're just attenuated too much to be useful. If I had to guess, I would say that the boundary between usable and useless resonances lies between three and four powers. So, for three powers, you'd have three different, very-attenuated resonances (one for each pair, maybe a fourth for all three combined).

I've never been to a signing, but from what I understand, that's way more than people usually get to ask. I think normally it's 2-3. Maybe your signing was lightly attended?

The hiding and surviving is only tangentially related to the Shard's intent:

Mraize is the only confirmed worldhopper from Roshar. (See the worldhopper page on the Coppermind) (I'm not counting the Dysian Aimians because they're spread across the Cosmere and I don't believe they originated on Roshar). But no, I don't think we have any idea who the Rosharan worldhoppers are that we've met through other books.

Wait. What are these abilities? I was under the impression that each type of aviar only had one ability, thus why Sixth was using multiple birds (because he wanted multiple abilities).

I called it "dead" Plate/Blade to distinguish it from a Knights Radiant Plate/Blade. Regardless, the point was that Eshonai wasn't a Surgebinder, she was in Shardplate. So she was unable to breathe in Stormlight. Regarding the "inconsistency" debate. You're listing things you feel are inconsistent, which is obviously completely fair. But also subjective, as it's really just questioning the direction that Brandon chose to go with things. Most people, however, think of objective mistakes when you use the word "inconsistent." Like continuity errors, or things that work differently in different parts of the book (e.g. mass-preserving vs volume-preserving Soulcasting).

Where does it mention this? I must have missed it. There's a difference between a Shardbearer and a Surgebinder. Shardbearers have Plate an/or Blade, but dead Blades/Plate do not give them the ability to breathe in Stormlight or heal. Yes, Word of Brandon. There's a repository of them that we maintain called The Arcanum. It's pretty nifty - you should check it out (although fyi, there are Oathbringer spoilers there). Brandon puts a ton of time and effort into his worldbuilding, especially Roshar. As others have mentioned, the reduced gravity was something that was settled on well before the books were released. It's how he was able to have these giant monsters (i.e. the chasmfiends and other greatshells) exist at all. He cares a lot about grounding his works in as much real-world physics as possible, where he can. He even worried about red shift when designing the speed bubbles! While these things may feel inconsistent to you, that doesn't make them inconsistencies. They're not objectively inconsistent, as evidenced by the people disagreeing with you. People interpret things in different ways. For example, it feels inconsistent to you that Sadeas would goad Adolin because you think it's obvious that Adolin would try to kill him. However, there were a ton of people on the forum who cried foul because Adolin murdering someone in cold blood felt extremely out of character to them.

Release dates on third-party platforms are notoriously unreliable. I wouldn't trust them at all.

I think that your point is good. I actually missed that they were included in a list of other Radiant spren; thanks for pointing it out. You did said that it was "a context clue" and that they "might be the Keenspren." Not that they definitely are. Wyndle's comments are certainly evidence toward that conclusion. And since we have a complete lack of evidence pointing toward any other type of spren, we should consider them the most likely of all the candidates.

I think it's pretty clear, once you factor in our knowledge of what happens during Ascension and the sheer magnitude and scope of the Shards. Plus, it's pretty common, to exclude Shards when answering questions, as they would automatically win almost all "who is the most [something] in the cosmere?". For example, if a hypothetical WoB went like this: Nobody would be confused about whether or not Brandon was considering the Shards.

Brandon has said a lot of different things about how the Nalthis essay will be released: the paperback Arcanum Unbounded, a newsletter, the leather-bound Warbreaker, and now the leather-bound Arcanum Unbounded. So I wouldn't take that most recent WoB as gospel.

Reread everything! Or browse the forums and make up new theories. Or read through the entirety of Arcanum. Or help out on the Coppermind.

What I meant was Brandon only mentioned Hoid, Khriss, and Nazh. He didn't refer to any of the Shards. Also, I would dispute the classification of Shards (Vessels) as people, but that's getting pretty off topic, so I won't go into it. Welcome to the Shard!

Both of those WoBs refer only to living beings. The Shards are in a different category. It's perfectly normal to not refer to gods when asked "who's the most X in the universe?" There's no way that the non-Shards know more than the Shards (excluding just-born Harmony).

Yomen did test the earring (as he revealed in the quote I posted), but said nothing about the ratio between the metals. Also, even if the earring was mostly bronze (which is not specified in the books) and a portion of the outer silver was worn away (which is also not specified), it wouldn't have mattered because aluminum shielding works as a field: P.s. We're pretty far off topic at this point. Why don't you make a new topic for your theory?

This was asked on the previous page:

Do you have a source for "mostly"? I don't recall them specifying the ratio. Regardless, the outside of the earring is silver. If silver functioned as aluminum, it wouldn't matter what was on the inside - it would shield it. Also from Hero of Ages chapter 54:

Check out this post by @Deathwielded or the history section of Roshar's Coppermind page.

Silver has neither property of aluminum. The scene between Vin and Yomen in Hero of Ages chapter 54 confirms that: it has no Allomantic effect: and it can be Pushed/Pulled:

Although Scadrians are one of, if not the, leading candidates for being the "Ones Above," that is not a confirmation. What Brandon is saying, is that the giant Cosmere crossover (i.e. all the worlds/Shards coming together for the Cosmere endgame) is going to be Mistborn Era 4. That's the futuristic, space opera with FTL. Sixth of the Dusk has to be set around that time because of the FTL. So he's saying that we won't find out more about the "Ones Above" until we get Era 4, which has to come after Era 3, which he's only just started outlining. P.s. If you use the "Copy" feature from Arcanum and paste it inside a quote box, it'll format the WoB much better, and also include a direct link to the event. For example:

That may be cool visually, but I don't see any mechanical reason for the Blade to be involved. All of Shallan's Lightweaving has been done independent of her Blade. Brandon's confirmed that Lightweavers can indeed shoot lasers and the like, but are limited by their lack of knowledge of modern physics. Can you link the WoB? I don't remember anything about using a Shardblade as a focus.

Usually this distinction doesn't matter, but in this case, I think it is useful to be specific. It's not the Shard that produces a Cognitive Shadow - it's the Vessel. The Vessel's are the beings with the physical bodies who actually die. The Shard itself is basically just a ginormous hunk of Investiture - it can't be "killed." So, Harmony could never have a Cognitive Shadow, but Sazed could (but doesn't yet, because he's still alive).

We haven't seen a magic system that operates solely from Dominion or Devotion. However, we have seen Splinters of those Shards: seons and skaze.
