Aon Tia

We know that Nicrosil feruchemy stores investiture but the ability is not well understood. What they are storing is actually the ability to use the investiture. Here is what coppermind says:

I don’t think it would change a person’s outlook that much as you are suggesting. The Only way outlook changes in a meaningful way is when a person actually holds the shard. Vin was strongly of the preservation in other words she had strong connection to preservation, and she was not at all affected or limited because of that in her ability to cause destruction! it was only after she actually held the shard that she was restricted.

I think I am missing something here.... I thought they found the device and the body but the ambassador did not die in front of them! My impression was that kandra came on the planet Left an extra pile of bones somewhere, then introduced himself as an ambassador, eventually died alone in his room or somewhere and left the device behind! so when he died, he merely left that body and changed the bones to become someone new and infiltrate the natives. remember like there was a dead body left behind in the venture house when tensoon replied oresuer!? In that case, our kandra will have taken his spikes with him! Natives would not even know there is an intruder / imposter among them, let alone figure out how to kill Him!!!!

What can even kill a kandra? The only time we know a kandra really died was when tensoon killed oresuer

Exactly sounds a great idea!

But with kandra, along with faking a body they get an added opportunity to infiltrate the natives

That is what came to my mind Well there are 2-3 shards Lying around for the taking

What do you think a duralumin compounder will do? Any ideas? A duralumin compounder could have massive Infinite ability to connect, do you think this could be used to become a vessel to a shard?

I think it should work the way you describe it. If a twin born has f-duralumin and stores connection to the shard, then while tapping he should be able to increase his allomantic Strength or improve his efficiency of burning the metal in whichever metal Allomancy he has. However, I think a duralumin compounder would be quite useless sadly.

Yes yes agreed Ahem Ohk well but I still think that kandra is the best way to accomplish not killing someone and still have a dead body. Plus it allows infiltration so that is a bonus ! Yup They will deal with it and would want to explore outside. The elantrians earlier were not isolationist they not be so now either. Plus with a perpendicularity sitting right at their heads I highly doubt they will not be curious! Also I am curious what the elantrians diaspora upon learning that elantris has been healed do? Won’t they want to come back and meet these new elantrians?!!

A disagreement that was full of single argument made repeatedly. A lot of people were in disagreement with your disagreement. Well that was the single reason I was willing to consider Scadrial but now your argument makes me think that Scadrial should be demoted to 4th number on the list! As to why it made me think of Sel I thought it was fairly obvious but here let me explain. I think seeing as the CR of Sel is most dangerous to travel, Sel people have the best reason to look for a means of inter-space travel via physical realm. And they already have Aon Tia using which they can travel near ftl in physical realm. All they have to do is find a way to deal with the region lock on dor

It would also mean we get the book in 11 months!! There will be no delays! And W&W 4 !!! Finallyyy..

Is that not awesome!!

While we are at it these I liked too

@GoWibble here you go-

Makes me think of Sel Makes me think they are from Roshar, as discussed before at length Kandra! There could be a kandra on the team from Scadrial... easiest way of faking a dead body.

Oops sorry!

Soon there is going to be a big post on the SA 4 on reddit by Brandon!

Based on the discussion so far, So i think we can narrow down the possibilities a little. 1) Roshar: They have the ingredients for FTL and the way Ones above are described is very Rosharan and the famous Chouta comment alongwith the 2) Nalthis: new magic system with a lot of possibilities 3) Sel: already have fast travel with Aontai, once they deal with the region-locked Dor, they are a strong possibility 4) Scadrial : I don’t like this option much but it is here because apparently their magic system can have FTL, which all can by the way, but Mistborn era 4 is space era based and @ ookla the prolific likes Scadrial as an option very much. Threnody i think we can safely rule out based on : As Honorless has already quoted: Taldain also as we know that it is locked by Autonomy and has been isolated Silverlight also is not exactly a planet... As Honorless has already quoted:

That is awesome!

Next tweet has also come! 15 scenes finished. Word count : 9900

I am sorry : szeth At times when he killed someone in twok... I am honorspren : sylphrena I am, I was god and now I am dead : Honor “Passion, Dalinar Kholin. I am emotion incarnate. I am the soul of the spren and of men. I am lust, joy, hatred, anger, and exultation. I am glory and I am vice. I am the very thing that makes men men" : Odium

Most certainly agree

Yes! I loved this story! It is my favourite short story by Brandon! I love how it is structured and how it progresses! I really do want to know what kind of emperor he became! What changes he made to his kingdom! How others are going to react to that! Is this change in him going to affect any changes at Sel level? So far, I think Rose empire is very isolationist but is that going to change now? where is Shai now? That brilliant mind becomes a worldhopper you know! Can not wait to Meet her on like Roshar!!

Latest update : Wow.. so exciting guys! Hourly tweets with details on progress made by author!! This is the best fandom to be a part of!!
