I want to see the video too. We should all send little orbit angry emails asking why we haven't gotten a hold of it here at 17th shard.

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

I love how this thread went from "Progress on Mistborn Movie" to "Speculation on Rosharin Tide Patterns".

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

I like Droz's idea, but at the same time it seems like to convenient an answer for me to accept outright. Also, I got the impression that everyone assumed that picking up a shardblade would actually change your eye color, but not that it actually would. It doesn't help that the only people who we hear talk about the change in eye color are Darkeye's who have no experience in the matter.

The inability to pay attention to whatever I should be paying attention to.

I believe that Ironeyes is right. I remember reading that somewhere, probably in an annotation. Also in the Alcatraz annotation for chapter 16 he talks about this very quote, among other references he makes, including one of the talking British dinosaurs making a reference to Micheal Crichton. (I believe he calls this chapter something along the lines of 'My Chapter for Random Obscure References'.)

Hell...O (In the words of Alcatraz. ) Anyways, I'm new here-that's why I'm posting this. I made a different account forever ago (around the WoK launch) but I'm not even sure what my username was so I just made a new one. So yeah. Hi.

Also, "The only why I can think of is that Hoid can see a little into the future, and if Gaz was still alive would have stopped Kaladin from going out onto the peninsula where he was waiting." "I don't think Hoid wants to get involved to the degree of killing/spiriting away people. He seems most comfortable simply guiding and informing people." Perhaps Hoid 'guided' Gaz away, or in other words, he convinced Gaz to flee just in to to avoid having him stop Kaladin from going to the peninsula.

Szeth could not have killed Gaz because until the end of the books his standing orders were to kill his targets AND to create the biggest disturbance possible whilst doing it. We Hear nothing from Kalidin, Dalinar, or Adolin's view points that suggests that any such disturbance ever took place, so we can rule out Szeth
