@ElephantEarwax Honor is dead. @leboralli Oathbringer and Hero of Ages were great books. Have you read all his published cosmere works?

Mistborn + Stormlight Archive. Honestly I don’t know how I picked it.

@MacThorstenson @LopenTheTwoArmedHerdazian I am also sorry for escalating the conflict and derailing this thread. Thank you for your civility, and I appreciate your arguments.

@LopenTheTwoArmedHerdazian @MacThorstenson I have no wish to duel, nor any ill will toward some you. If ElephantEarwax’s soul theft schemes truly are separate from the DA it is good news, but any organization finding itself on such moral ground walks a slippery slope. Hemalurgy is proven to be dangerous, mind altering and potentially fatal work that requires a great cost in blood to perpetuate. Offering such substances to unwanting and unknowing naive audiences is not only wrong, but also could be construed as manslaughter or murder, or at least assault if it is not fatal, not to mention those killed to make the spikes. Look earlier in this thread to see @Tesh offering such a cookie to see the proof of this. I wish not for a duel, only to point out that minor hippocracy is not equal to such actions.

They call themselves friendly, yet spike people covertly with disclaimers that run on for days and Breath theft... Can you trust the word of such a group? As opposed to one trying to good and help newcomers? Food for thought...

@Personification Fair point.

@Ashly Vye Thanks so much! The second Mistborn trilogy is great, I personally loved Shadows for Self.

This thread is beautiful. I play clarinet. Whats the difference between a mouse and a clarinet? You can't hear a mouse over the whole band. Whats the difference between an oboe and an onion? Nobody cries when you chop up an oboe. How do you tune two piccolos? Shoot both of them. How many trumpets does it take to screw in a lightbulb? One. They hold the lightbulb and the room spins around them. How many percussionists does it take to screw in a lightbulb? 100. One to hold the lightbulb and 99 to drink until the room spins. What do you call 1000 burnt clarinets? A good start. Whats the difference between a saxophone and a drunk elephant. One bumbles around with no tempo and is louder than a chainsaw, the other is an intoxicated pachyderm.

Wasing the wanting of welcoming.

Don’t do it @kysithlord69 the cookies are spiked.

If you want a spike free cookie, consider this as an option: Spoilers for size. Certified non-hemalurgic, no disclaimer! Courtesy of the Light Alley. Sorry for the double post.

@Ellard Stay strong! Don’t eat the cookies or give up your breath. (The cookies are spiked-- hemalurgically) Also, Warbreaker is a great read, you should try it.

Full name: Fourth of the Dawn (goes by Dawn) Investiture: Steel Ferring, has two Aviar, a typical mind covering one and a kingfisher that radiates fear at things at will, frightening them Additional abilities: A trapper with incredible survival skills. Nationality: Half Terris half Eelakin trapper Height: 5’10” Age: 23 Hair color: Black Eye color: Blue Home planet: First of the Sun Character's current religion, if they have one, and if not, the one they grew up in: Dawn is Pathian, but he does not worship Harmony. He has an earring to commune with him, but respects him rather than worshipping. He follows the precepts, but not directly the god. Spouse: None Parents: Mother is a trapper, Father was a Terris worldhopper Siblings: 5 other siblings, only Second of the Twilight left First of the Sun with Dawn Children: None History: Was raised a trapper, left the world with his aviar, father and brother. They traveled to Scadrial, but got misdirected, ended up on Braize, where only Dawn escaped, ending up on Roshar, exiting the Horneater Peaks at Cultivation’s perpendicularity. Currently traveling Roshar to learn all about it, has been on Roshar for a year. Personality: Talks little, mostly listens, but can be witty at times. Very protective of his Aviar. Gets frustrated when Rosharans call them chickens, but mostly stifles it. Is surprised to see lots of technology, but mostly just listens to people talk about it to learn. Likes books, and learned the Women’s script from a rebellious ardent. Speaks roughly in most languages on Roshar, but doesn’t use them often.

The twin born taps F-steel, dashing up the hillside, securing the top, only to find himself surrounded by bundles of sticks and rope-like grass crawling towards him. The twinborn hurls coins and metal pieces past the wave of Awakened objects, and as they grow nearer, he pulls, them drops to the ground. The metals rip through the Awakened objects, but the objects continue unfazed. The metal flies past him, and he repeats the process, ducking and pulling, until shredded leaves and twigs lay before him, pulling off a few that made it. During this time, the Awakener had killed a squirrel and animated it, sending the lifeless to harass the twinborn as the Awakener snuck closer. The squirrel, not anticipating feruchemical speed, is torn apart, but the distraction works. The Awakener has worked his way to just behind the twinborn and moves to strike, but just as the twinborn feels the wind from the sword the twinborn taps all of his steel, dodging and throwing coins at the Awakener, which miss harmlessly or are picked up by an Awakened cloak. The twinborn moves to strike, but his f-steel runs out, and he is caught by the cloak. Just as the Awakener is about to kill him, he pulls on the coins that intentionally missed, ripping through the Awakener. Winner: Twinborn F-steel is just so overpowered. Next match: Teams: Beasts vs Humanoids Tai-na (Reshi Island Greatshell) + Chasmfeind + Shadow (Sixth of the Dusk demon whale) VS Koloss + Warform Listener + Dysian Aimian + Siah Aimian + Kandra + Inquisitor Location: Purelake. Specifications: Kandra has access to 2 True bodies, and anything that dies. Dysian Aimian has flying cremlings. Inquisitor has 1 pouch of coins and 2 vials of all the metals they can access. Spiked to the level of a regular Inquisitor during the Final Empire. (Steel spikes, pewter spikes, bronze spikes). Shadow can go on land a bid and drag itself around, as shown in SotD, so maneuvering in the Purelake is possible. All the beasts are able to breath. Have fun!

I think I found where the dark alley gets it’s spikes... Stay strong BillLangdon. Don’t give in. The cookies may be tempting, but spikes can maim/transform into misshapen demon/kill a person. Honestly though is Ruin sponsoring the Dark Alley? And is there an anti-Dark Alley group, or just lone people? Image taken from the Sanderson memes thread, by Sunbird.

Is there an anti dark alley guild/club thing? Or are the people like Snorkel and Archer lone warriors? @Wyndlerunner Welcome to the shard. Where theories, time, and sanity go to die. And for some reason we love it anyway! Which books have you read?

Sad part is I don’t really regret it

I have a friend reading shadows of self, and whenever he asks me BoM questions I reply “RAFO” with a sly smile. I also read WoK and WoR in 4 days. I only stopped to eat and go to the bathroom. I’m a horrible person.

Together alone / keep falling / forever we are gone / are we forever falling / keep alone together. I’ll call it metaphorical. Or something.

Fine. You get a turkey roasted until it was burnt to a crisp. Your friend realizes you gave him burnt turkey and leaves you forever. I wish to be a Fullborn.

@Zellyia I wasn’t aware you were part of Odium’s PR department! Just kidding, I’m sure that’s not the case. Probably. To make the crude metaphor of spreading out a shard’s power via splintering being like communism: Generally communism entails dividing up the wealth of the few and splitting it between everybody. Also, communist nations generally end up with a dictatorship or oligarchy that keeps the wealth and power, instead of redistributing it. So you could argue Rayse is being the communist leader the cosmere never asked for by spreading shard’s power around (except his own).
