There was a theory that Kelsier founded the Ghostbloods for a while, which would tick the Cognitive Shadow box, but Threnody is a good bet too.

check the reply above you

Pretty sure I don't have to spoiler this, but I'm going to do it anyway.

No more atium is being produced, but Ironeyes has a bag of it from the end of Hero of Ages, and possibly has found little bits more of it that were spread throughout The Final Empire.
-
I have no idea what that means, other than it's not a good thing. Brandon giving an ominous look is never a good thing.

I agree with @Mental Drifter. Once Odium has you fully, you're gone. No choosing to lose available, once you're committed at that level.

It's hinted at in Oathbringer that there is probably a difference in how Radiant Plate vs dead Plate reforms. The spren that Venli and Demid are accompanied by says something along the lines of "It still regrows, even seperated from its master of long ago," suggesting that either it doesn't regrow at the same pace, or it's a different method of regrowth.

I didn't know that. The more you know, I guess.

Tien was younger than Shallan, so after, I think. Shallan had more than likely already gotten at least one Ideal/Truth in.
-
Y'know I forgot that existed.

Let's say that in the eventual Mistborn Era 4, all of Scadrial is evacuated to their FTL ships and they all leave the system. What happens to the Cognitive Realm of Scadrial if there isn't anyone left to think about it? Does it slowly decay as generations pass and people don't remember Scadrial anymore, would it reform wherever the people settled, though altered because location chance, or what would happen? Side note: what would happen to any Cognitive Shadows stuck in the CR during this? Would they just cease to exist? I have my own thoughts on this, but I want to hear what the rest of you think.

How do y'all imagine Cryptics look? I've always pictured them with 16 mirrored sections, because of what they represent, but I could see a case for 10 as well. What do y'all think?

Don't worry about someone else having made a connection. Half the fun is people finding new things by bringing older stuff back to light with new info to be weighted. It's possible Nightblood had quite a few names. He's been around for a long time, all considered, and it wouldn't be too strange for his name for a while (particularly at the beginning) to be just his Command, so they could differentiate between the others they were likely planning to create.

the internet, the cognitive realm, and spren
Invocation replied to Ethan_sedai's topic in Stormlight Archive
Does that mean that the Sibling is just a proto-Internetspren? Think about it. Stretches to a lot of places, all radiating out from a single hub. Good theory, though. -
Grey Skin and non-Rosharan Shardblades
Invocation replied to Bigmikey357's topic in Cosmere Discussion
There's a WOB that seons could turn into Blades if they had something to anchor them more firmly into the Physical Realm, so theoretically anything like that could be made into a Shardblade-like weapon. To the rest of the questions, I have no answer. -
On one hand, maybe. But on the other hand, Netflix will probably throw a ton of money at the budget for it, knowing that if they do it right, they'll make enough to get that money back tenfold.

I suppose, but that would require an absurd amount of power.

Which Form of Investiture Would you Choose?
Invocation replied to The Grumpy Elantrian's topic in Cosmere Discussion
Feruchemy, also for the same reason as @Steel Inqusitive and @turtle373, though if I was allowed two, I'd go with Feruchemy and Allomancy both. -
I don't think he should get a redemption arc based on who he is at this point. It would feel forced.
-
Probably more along the RAFO line of things. Edit: Hi, @Weltall, I see we thought the same thing.
-
Only more questions, no answers (at least not until The Lost Metal in probably 2020). There's always another secret.

The Lord Ruler's inn was burned down around him in the beginning after his Ascension, but he walked away from that, despite having been dead asleep when the fire started and walking directly out of the flames. "Came out as barely more than a skeleton and healed in seconds," I believe is how that's described in the book. Of course, some of that is probably time distortion, but that's still a massive, roaring blaze he survived and healed from, metal minds intact or not. Plus, HSuperLee said, liquidizing the metal wouldn't stop the Feruchemist from tapping it, provided it hadn't merged to become another metal which shouldn't happen with lava.

That was what I took away as his whole point. Sure, they were living and breeding and inching forward technologically every so slowly, but he does say "you were to have had the radio a century ago." He made it to where they don't have any real shortage most of the time (barring psychopathic pseudo-deities messing things up) so they don't try to improve anything. Their current level of technology is just fine for them, so they stay there. Only carrots, no sticks. The others had all sticks and barely any carrots, which made each one precious and gave them the drive to strive for it. That's the portion he's talking about being too easy.

Dai-Gonarthis I think is how you spell the name. The Black Fisher. As to the Sibling being Urithiru itself, it isn't. But it did provide many of the things that made it livable in the tower via the fabrial column that Shallan discovered where the Midnight Mother was. There;s a fair amount of discussion here: and some of the things in the books support that the Sibling retreating was what forced the Radiants to leave.
