I could be wrong though. I haven't been active on here in a long time so I could very well have missed some revelation from Brandon that disproves my theory.

I have to agree. The Ars Arcanum makes references to "the Terris community" which sounds like it would be something separate from the general population (i.e. located separately). This is actually very likely to be the case. In AoL the story focuses on Elendel and the Roughs and makes little to no references to other locations (excepting the story in the Elendel Daily about people across the sea and the Koloss tribe) Also looking at the broadside Allomancer Jack talks about his Terris companion who said he made use of one of his metalminds to get Jack's gun. I feel like full feruchemists are only present in the pure Terris community and that said community keeps its aloof from the rest of the known world. 

I feel like you guys are missing something big here. Think of what it would be like when they did store their sense of balance, if they were indeed able to. it could go two different ways; they might stumble around like a drunk or they might feel as though they were falling over all the time. I don't know about you but both those possibilitiessound funny to me.

I tried to respond last night but the site went down just as I hit post. (speaking of which, everything looks weird.) Anyways, thanks for the correction windrunner. I actually wasn't sure about the number of oaths. Not to mention the fact that I was talking more to the people on the first page, because when I posted I hadn't yet noticed that there were three pages of comments. 

Anyways, I have a correction of my own to make. You can push on metal spikes with allomancy. Rashek does it at the end of book one to Vin's earring while it is in her ear. (p.626 paperback)

Kaladin is not a full Radiant yet, he has only said the first two Ideals of the Knights of Radiance. The first one being the "Life before death," and the second being the "I will protect people who cannot protect themselves,". Unless I'm mistaken, there are ten Ideals and the first two are generic for all ten groups of knights and the next eight are specific to each group. Also we don't know yet if Kaladin will even be a Windrunner because there are two groups of knights that have the ability to bind things.

It has to do with the double eye of the creator design on the inside cover of the book. There are ten groups of Radiants and ten Radiant abilities. Each group of Radiants has two abilities and each ability is used by two groups of Radiants. If you look at the design I'm talking about, then each colorful symbol represents a Radiant group and each black symbol represents an ability.

So unless there is something I haven't seen that Brandon or Peter has said, then we don't know if Kaladin is a Windrunner.

Also Beorc is right: Jasnah is Dalinar's niece, not sister. Aside from that, they are going to the Shattered Plains not to look for Ureata, but to study the Parshendi. I just read the last Shallan viewpoint chapter where they talk about leaving (p. 990, hardcover).

The annotation that you are thinking of should be one of the introductory annotations for book two.

Edit: I found it: http://www.brandonsanderson.com/annotation/184/Mistborn-2-Maps-and-Interior-Art

16 isn't important because of allomancy, it is important because of the 16 shards. Also Vin is 18 in the 1024th year, not 16. She is 16 at the beginning of the first book, and WoA takes place two years later.

Has there up to this point been a cosmere book or story where Hoid does not appear?

I happen to know that he gave a copy away at the AMoL release.

I really hope Hoid makes it in the game.

Oh my, what if Hoid was...

A playable character?!

It wasn't his last name, It was his first name, which he didn't like and wished he coulod have just left behind with his noblemen life. Breeze is just a nickname.

Alcatraz and Stephen Leeds

Hey could you edit out the stuff that is now out on the post at the top?

@phantom

Storing weight does effect the speed at which you fall. I've just been reading in WoA where Sazed stores weight in his metalminds so that he doesn't fall as fast.

Wait, they stopped spiking people?

I said nothing. There has never been spiking. You have nothing to fear. Move along.

where did you hear that Ruin had a Well the Pits?

I want to know, how does one check out the copy of Dragonsteel at BYU. Please tell me that you don't have to be a student to do it

That's what I was thinking.

Oh this is brilliant!

I was a WoT fan and a Brandon fan and then being one became the same as being both

I like the "Important men liked windows." line. I think Brandon should use it again later on.

oh well then forget what I said

So Urithiru was built close to the Origin right?

If that is the case then Urithiru cannot be in Shinover.

Interludes, Page 442

"It has formed a face, looking eastward. Directly toward the Origin."

(sometimes the quote box doesn't work and it really pisses me off.)

Anyhow, this segment takes place in Kasitor, and as you can see and as you can see if you look it up on a map (it is one the west coast of Iri), Shinover is directly south-south-west. Directly East is the bulk of Iri and Rira, than the Reshi Sea.

So I agree with Parvoneh. Urithiru is on an island.

Also here is your mention of east Kari-no.

Hey all! I'm new here on the forms but I've been spending most of my time reading about the Stormlight Archives and it seems that I picked up on something the rest of you didn't. I could be wrong, you may have already discussed this on another thread, but so far I haven't caught wind of it.

It's really long, I know. Please forgive me.

If I'm right then I may have discovered another of the magics that the KR used, and not only do I have the name for it, but it would answer a lot of the questions going around about Surgebinding and Shardplate.

Here it goes. Shardwielding.

Back cover:

“The world can change. Surgebinding and Shardwielding can return; the magics of ancient days can become ours again.”

Now while the identity of the author of the back cover is under scrutiny, (I know Brandon wrote it, I mean the in-world author) we can all agree that they have knowledge of the KR and their history. From the way that they word it, at least to me it seems as though they regard Shardwielding as something that the KR could do, but which has now been forgotten; that it was more than the simple bearing of Shardplate and Shardblades

We know that when worn by a KR Shardplate glows:

Part 4, Chapter 52, Page 730

“As they drew closer, Dalinar could see that their plate was unpainted, but it glowed ether blue or amber at the joints and across the glyphs at the front, as with the other Radiants he'd seen in his visions.”

and we know that it doesn't interfere with their Surgebinding like it does for Szeth.

Prologue, Page 29

“Szeth didn't own a set of Plate himself, and he didn't care to. His Lashings interfered with the gemstones that powered Shardplate and he had to choose one or the other.”

Part 2, Chapter 19, Page 303

“And there, he saw a brilliant blue light falling through the air . . . then he watched in amazement as the light stood up, limbs unfolding. It wasn't a star at all.”

This very passage goes on to include more references to glowing Shardplate and Surgebingding in Shardplate, as well as implying the ability to summon and dispel Shardplate as though it were a Shardsword -another ability that seems to have been lost.

Now if I'm right and Shardwielding is another KR magic, then now, not only do we know both the Windrunner abilities (Shardwielding and Surgebinding), but we know the other Order that has this ability is the Stonewards, because of the passage from part 4 that I quoted above. (page 730 for the quote and page 729 for the reference to Stonewards.) Also it seems to me that whether the armor glows blue or amber is determined my whether you are a Windrunner or a Stoneward -I have no evidence for this one, its just a hunch.

Amusing that I'm not high and this is actually real, then this would lend legitimacy to the notion that Dalinar is an emerging KR like we know Kalidin is.

Part 2, Chapter 13, Page 209

“Dalinar held back the claw and matched its strength, a figure in dark, silvery metal that almoast seemed to glow.”

(There is another reference to Dalinar's Plate glowing when he saves Kalidin and his bridge crew from parshendi after they use the parshendi armor, but I was to lazy to dig it up.)

So taking in stride that Dalinar can Shardwield, this also tells us about another Shardwielding: it increases the strength of Shardplate. There are plethora of references to Dalinar being to graceful, to strong, to fast, even for one using Shardplate. Not only that but we have references from his viewpoint that he used to be even faster then he is now.

So here it is, my first theory for 17th Shard.

Feel free to disagree, just do so verbally, because I want to hear some feed back for this.

“Je

First off, Jezrien is the Stormfather, I remember it begin said at least twice in the book, though I have no idea where. Also, from the letter in part 2, page 275, chapter 18:

"Ati was once a kind and generous man, and you saw what became of him. Rayse, on the other hand, was among the most loathsome, crafty and dangerous individuals I have ever met."

So in other words, even if he wasn't all hate all the time, he was pretty dang close
