    Potentially, but just as Gilphon said, it would just serve to lock it down further and remain yet inconclusive.
  2. Invocation
    True, but 8 million seems like a fair estimate.
  3. Invocation
    True, other areas exist, but a solid chunk is in Elendel. Wax said something like 8 million in Elendel, if I recall correctly.

    The way they were measuring it was in a unit that isn't a constant, but rather Rosharan-unique. Thus, it is not all objectivity, and instead, partially subjective via being limited by the tools they had. This doesn't change that the perception had an effect, nor is it in any way, shape, or form implied that their method was the only method to lock a spren's characteristics.

    I don't think so. I think what Dalinar was seeing was the same thing as the two ardents in that interlude about flamespren, where they're measuring the size of them and it keeps changing to what they expect. Dalinar perceives those spren a certain way, and the power of that perception is apparently enough for them to conform.

    South Korea is also a much more advanced society (you mentioned chemical fertilizers, but that doesn't even cover the half of it!), not to mention that they're not still trying to recover from an apocalypse that wasn't all that long ago in generational terms. South Korea is also an outlier in terms of population density, and Elendel hasn't gotten to the point that they need to be that dense yet. Edit: Look at SK over time. [https://tradingeconomics.com/south-korea/population] Their population is shooting up thanks to modern stuff, which Elendel has none of.

    More might have made it into the caverns, but it's unclear how many died in the aftermath anyway. Trying to rebuild civilization would have some serious stress effects, and that would probably send at least a few people to an early grave.

    Deb slowly released steel, lowering herself to the ground once more, and held out a folded piece of paper she pulled from within a pocket. "So long as you sign this waiver that acknowledges you accept the risks of wearing unauthorized gear into an uncertain situation, you may wear whatever you like." An assistant ran up and tapped her on the shoulder, then began whispering in her ear. "Ah. Very good. Thank you, Reiken." She Pushed back off the steel frame and took a deep breath. "Attention everyone! We will be leaving in 30 minutes, so please make all final arrangements now and be prepared at the end of that time to begin the descent. Again, that is 30 minutes until we depart. Please be ready."

    There's only so many people you can shove into a small area, and Elendel is at that cap because no one leaves thanks to the Basin being too perfect for habitation. Plus, the indolence that arises as a result of having to "fight to harvest quick enough" as it is phrased doesn't lend itself to having a lot of children. It's also not long enough for the genetic bottleneck that arose after the survivors of the Catacendre came out of their shelters to find the majority of everyone dead to have gone away yet, which is likely impacting development on a multitude of levels.

    Theoretically maybe, but who knows what that would do a Cognitive Shadow? You might take it too far and sever him entirely, forcibly shoving him into the Beyond.
  11. Invocation
    Which ones do you recall as not needing to be at the Third?
  12. Invocation
    I can't find anything to suggest that that would be a thing, though I suppose it's possible. Maybe it's just an unintended thing, or maybe it's that, within the already rare amounts of Twinborn, sharing a quadrant is more common than not.
  13. Invocation
    He was a nuisance to the wrong person.
  14. Invocation
    Wow yeah that's...quite a difference.
  15. Invocation
    Just the advancement thing, I think. It's unlikely that any of the Unmade except maybe Dai-gonarthis (because there's no data based on that one's powers) could have altered the bond to that degree.
  16. Invocation
    @ZincAboutIt You're OP now.
  17. Invocation
    Yeah pretty much what RShara said. Unclear if it was Sja-anat or not, but it was an Unmade of some kind.
  18. Invocation
    She used to be higher, but she regressed. That had some strange ramifications, thus the early Blade.
  19. Invocation
    Shallan wasn't at First Oath levels during that whole escapade. She was somewhat far along her path there.
  20. Invocation
    Yep! We know there is a perpendicularity thanks to a broadsheet entry in one of the books. Who that belongs to (be it a leftover from one of the two original Shards, or if it's Harmony's new one) we don't know yet.
  21. Invocation
    I had the mini version as a plane snack once. It was pretty good, yeah.
  22. Invocation
    I will do this tomorrow morning because no one is out right now. Who is your favorite Sharder What's your favorite food that isn't from whatever country you live in?
  23. Invocation
    What's the story behind your weirdest "that's not what should have happened" moment? What's the weirdest thing you've ever seen? Also, I would like to request a dare.
  24. Invocation
    Pretty much what the title says, because I can't remember and my books are 200 miles away so I can't check. When you Soulcast meat, does it end up automatically cooked or do you have to proceed to cook it post-casting? It seems like it would make more sense for the former to avoid spoiling the meat in certain situations, but then how over-cooked must some of the meat be when you cook it with other stuff? Also, is this variable? Could you change it based on the skill/intent of the Soulcasting person?
  25. Invocation
    Don't worry, my state didn't get the memo either. It was 96 today, felt like 102. Wack.
