  1. If you guys put the hook with a few more chapter as bait I will fall for it a happy man =) About the troop of semi-radiant dudes, I was thinking, some of the bridgemen had odd "healings" after they come in contact with Kaladin. See Dabbid that had a would that should have killed, Teft with the arrow in the shoulder, Skar with a arrow in the foot all. In on POV Teft commented that he wasn't felling as much pain as he should. Maybe the radiant have some kind of area of affect power tha let them share a fraction of their power with their man. For what understand there are Power Levels in the Radiand order. (see sly recent comment),maybe a full Radiant could share a little of stormlight with his men, what would explain the comment in the first book "I can't pomise a place in any order but you could be a soldier" in Dalinar vision. And we have confirmation thatt exist 4 levels of super sayadin (they already change eye color if they turn blond i will laugh rivers) Knight Radiants. =) Maybe in the last level indeed they summon their "gold armor" =)
  2. Something moving in the shadows huh...... What are the first clue about the bonding spren that Jasnah got anyway? How about this, let say that a person enter shadesmar and fail to emerge of the sea of beads, that person would mysterious disappearance, just saying.
  3. I guess that they are called this way because they are a heavily invested honor objects, likely they are created personally by Honor to arm his heralds against Odium Champions in the fight of the Oathpact (that to me are some kind of cosmeric Hunger Games between Honor, Cultivation and Odium for the rights of rule of the Gran Roshar System) My opinion only =)
  4. Not interelly correct there are a gay character in the brigde 4 and others in his others books=) 'Tor Q&A with Brandon Sanderson' said W. HEUS () How do you feel about the lack of prominent gay characters within the epic fantasy as a genre and do you ever include (or will ever include) gay or lesbian characters in your own work? BRANDON SANDERSON () That's an issue that I feel I should speak about delicately, because it's one of those charged issues that can create a lot of division. But my basic feeling is that a character should not be any more or less sympathetic, or more or less evil, or anything like that, because of sexual orientation or because of basic beliefs or philosophy on things like religion. So there are gay characters in my books, though so far they have been side characters. I don't make a big deal of it, because I tend not to make a big deal of the sexuality of side characters in general. For instance, in The Way of Kings, Drehy, a member of Bridge Four, is gay. He's based on a good friend of mine who is gay. There is a lesbian character in Alloy of Law; again I don't make a big deal of it though it's a little more obvious. Basically, I just try to write characters and try to have different makeups of characters. I feel gay characters should be included, and I'm annoyed that sometimes there seems to be an association between including gay characters and using that as a means of making them seem like a reprehensible character. You may know what I'm talking about; I've seen it in books before and it bugs me. Just like it bugs me if an author makes a character religious and the tone of the book implies, "Well, obviously, religious people are all idiots, so I'm not going to make this character actively an idiot, I'm just going to represent them as being religious," which by the tone of the book indicates that they're an idiot. That's not to say that there can't be social structures like religions that will push people toward doing things that are questionable or morally reprehensible—there can, of course, and it will happen—but I'm talking about the individuals. I don't know that I have strong feelings on the subject other than that I think people should be represented as people. I wrote a bit more about the subject in my essay on Dumbledore. Source
  5. I'm with the Eshonai = Explorer team. The bondsmith is the one that are mysterious to me. Some believe that are Dalinar but i don't believe in that very much =) The Bondsmith, born in blood and death, striving to rebuild what was destroyed.
  6. I really hope this happen. And if by any chance this merry group of fellas could be huh....... let say The bridge 4 tha would be awesome =) Put some half shields, created a half plate armor.some fabrial spear and Brigde 4 would be a better honor guard. Dalinar said that they sould use the best equipament, if Navani have some secret weapon program going on that would be the perfect moment to use it =) God know tha Szeth will be a hard nail to hammer down. Side note. If Bridge 4 survive and kill the Szeth maybe some potential windrunner could adquire a very unique and powerful blade and that would be nice =)
  7. A computer would be dificult but It is possible to imagine a car with easy. For example: Take some pairings fabrial put on a water or windwhell and use the moviment of the wind/water to move a car far away with the pairing gem. In the car you put a gear to conect or disconect the axis of the wheel. If you want stop just disconect the axis of the wheel with the gear, if you want move conectit. And he we have fabrial car =) Anothers aplication are very easy to imagine like motorized boats, guns, etc. Indeed my guess is that Liril watch fabrial use pairing fabrial as energy font what could indicate that "steam punk" (without steam) will be very common in the next books. Yes I very ansious to see what navani wanted to say when she talked about the advance in fabrial science =) =)
  8. Maybe the body focus are a aspect of the magic system that won't be explored in the book. Or this could be a case of "decline of knowledge" and the information in the book are a false data that the person how wrote the Ars Arcanum had about the matter.
  9. If the Parshendi are the Hardware, the spren are the software. When a spren a "live idea" bond with a parshendi he basically receive a "programation set", that by Eshonai words alter you bodyshape and give your emotional urges, and different mental capacity, but you stay "yourself". So basically odium probally put a virus in the Parshendi to turn them in voidbringers =) If this idea is correct the virus will try replicate and corrupt all the hardware a hand, this is in my opinion the great risk that maked the parshendi kill Gavilar=)
  10. Don't know I never got her manual =( I would try to over charge her with nice fanarts of Botanica and exmakina, cross the finger and hope that she re-booted=)
  11. Fall 2016 ?!?!?! Don't be mean Mr. Peter. And we would still like you guys even if your work drived you guys crazy, so make december 2015 =)
  12. I read this like "at least a woman would understand you, men only wanna play with their swords"
  13. Doing the math about this matter. Jasnah talked fondle about someone (ardent) that gived her the Book of Eendless pages, gender unknow. +She only have "sisters" in the Veristilian sect. +She point to Shallan that she would lose "freedom" if she married a "man". +She was cleary worried about Shallanm more then even the would be bride, about her engament it Adolin +She dress to kill even when she didn't need. +She respect inteligence above all. +She thinked that she would NEVER marry Amaram +She talked about the robbers with extreme prejudice = I'm without a clue about this matter =) My best guess is that to her marry would be lose freedom, and debase herself to be limited for a "inferior mind", alas, almost none Alenthi man have enough knowlegde to hold a candle to her. She simplely don't have in her whole society a match to her life style, so she kind don't believe that she should marry a man, because she wouldn't have a intelectual match and potentialy she would be limited for her would be husband. It kind remember me the feminist ideal in the 60's 70's. She just don't take part in something that she don't believe, Vorin gender segregation. Power to the women =)
  14. I see the video and understand the limitation of the experiment, but in true I liked your model so much that a i kinding try to find a explanation why we don't have heard about tsunamis when that should be expected because your idea of a "Moving Spiritual Wall" point to existence of it. So it's possible that Roshar coast topology prevente big waves to enter in the continent or we simplely didn't heard about the tsunamis yet. If later we find of existence of any of this scenarios I will be be really impressed =)
  15. *Jaw drop* Friend Satsuoni you are anything but "lazy" that are awesome. After read your post of "Moving Spiritual Wall Theory" i kind got a question. If so much water mass are being moved why Tsunamis aren't formed when the stormwall hit Roshar? If there are a constant linear push, like in your model, the ocean water would be pushed to the coast too don't ? Anyway take this upvotes Smart Sir =)
  16. Jasnah sounded that something like this occured when she talked about her mother to Shallan. Out of all thing she thinked that Shallan wouldn't take well a arranged marriage. Personal experience maybe ? After all nothing like have you mother say that will gonna stay for auntie to put you down =) Amaram are the best guess now for the trauma subject now, Gavilar said something in this way, and Navani are a matchmaker ( See Adolin and now Shallan examples) so she could have caused little trauma about this matter. Best intetion worst results. I advocate that Jasnah didn't find her match so she simplelly choice to not take the easy path and marry the first sound political candidate that crossed her way. Like admit that she was atheist because she didn't believe in the devotaries. Stongminded indeed. That also could explain the Shallan comentary that Jasnah keep track of her figure, she is just wainting for something happen. Who would guess that miss Ice queen would have a soft heart inside =) Just saying.=)
  17. Lady Feather the sacred keeper of the ship flame in this forum prefer this one =) I wouldn't question her =)
  18. 1 - Bind the legs with a full lashing to trap the beast - Like Szeth did with Jah Kaved soldier 2 - Lash a big rock 10g 3 - Aim at head of the beast =) 4- Bring Rock and ask him to make dinner (I like crab very much - Live in roshar would be awesome think what must be the size of a crab leg, such a pity that My eyes are fulllllll black) =) Alternative 1 - Lash some spears with 5/10 g 2- Aim at head 3- Fire 4- Call rock
  19. The great risk here is the king liking so much of Shallan remarks that he name her the new Wit, and the boy like a good laugh. I really hope that she make sport of some Alenthi nobles. Indeed Adolin like of funny ones, let see what happen. I was i little suprised when she jumped in the engament with him head first and smile all the way, I think that Brandon nevee like the shy princess trope very much (Warbreaker princess prove this very well) and If she take some levels in Badass with Jasnah she could very well wrap the Kholin brothers in her little finger. ( that seems like a real possibilty). I confess that Shallan are a little anoying in my first read but after I readed 4/5 times this book (What ?! I'm waiting WOR for 3 years) now I think that she have potential. By the way if Hoid returns would be nice to see the Master making short work of the Ginger smartass, man I really like this book =)
  20. Welcome friend take this upvote for breaking the shell and begin posting =) Nothing against big monster especially when the main character are fighting then with almost "bare hand". Would be nice se Kal doing Sly wish and fighting a clasmfiend. My money are in the little glowing dude with the spear =)
  21. Well that as the excuse at least, by what I remenber Germany, France, and the United Kindgom are at which other throats for a good half century before the war =) Like in the Parshendi case the Gavilar death was the last drop, not the first one. Many people, like Sadeas and other highprinces, from the begin wanted dominate the parshendi with brute force and when Gavilar was killed they gained momentum, the political and economic reasons are what prolong this war (it's to damnation lucrative). After the war begun everyone that talked about peace was segregated, like Dalinar, so the problem aren't really the parshendi treason(they already killed some 20% of their population any revenge seeked was obteined long ago), this is just a excuse, the problem is that there are too much money to gain in this war to let end it. Real life examples of war with economic reasons (war is lucrative) disguised as something are everything but uncommon. I don't mean to offend anyone here but i think that this is Brandon critic of stupidbility of war in general in our society. The Alenthi could be compared with any nation modern or ancient with imperialist ambition. And in this book you could see critics to politics, capitalist, religion organazation, etc if you look for with.
  22. I have a different take on this. Maybe Gavilar "bodyguard" are someone in disguise that are so important to Gavilar that he tried this stunt to protect. He used the Plate was a excuse to conceal himself in plain sight and stay at Gavilar side. Well, this is my best guess so don't mind disprove it, i don't haveanthing to back it anyway =) But the fact is that as Moogle pointed there is something fishy here.
  23. Don't know, in particular I don't like this kind of reasoning, "If she don't have a man she like women" very much. Indeed is a valid possibility but I'm more inclined to think the reason that she didn't married someone is the same reason that she don't believein Vonirism. She didn't find the "reason" to do so, or put in a more "romantic" way she didn't find her match. Gavilar stinged her in this exatcly same way,"You are so smart that nobody are good enough to you". If i'm reading her correctly,(and must assured I'm not =)) She is just to strong mind to accept less then the "ideal" match.
  24. Yes that was explained, Szeth discovered the plan, but that was very odd plan, I don't know what but something looks fishy here. Do it Moogle =)
