Interesting theory, care to explain?

Agreed! I was reading the guide book the other day, and I realized, "holy crap. Someone actually came up with all this, it just feels so real."

I'll sign up as Dalinar Kholin, Bondsmith extraordinaire, Highking of Urithiru. That is if you'll have me?

I hope to make it. I'll plan to be there!

Good Omens is a book Pratchett co wrote with Neil Gaiman. It's contemporary fantasy, and is an excellent and utterly absurd read. Things to look forward to include: Satanic nuns, best of Queen albums, misprinted bibles and the 4 horsemen of the apocalypse.

I hadn't thought of the Set's Faceless immortals being Svrakiss. Do we have any WoBs substantiating Svrakiss as anything beyond elements of Derethi mythology? If so that would be incredibly interesting. But how would our friends Bavadin acquire Selish beings without doing some interfering there... That really opens up a lot of creative room to speculate and theorize. I still hope that we get something more concrete about Trell in TLM, even if it just serves as a lead-in to MB Era 3.

I always saw Autonomy as less of "freedom" but more like the ability to act on your own. Case in point the technical term for a car: The Automobile Auto-on its own Mobile- moving So "Automobile" really means "Moving on its own", so isn't a car technically autonomous (or able to act on its own). I have never seen Autonomy as "Freedom", but more like independence, the ability to act on your own, to do things without someone else moving the strings. As for why The Avatar Calling Itself Trell wants to destroy life on Scadrial, perhaps they(no confirmed gender) sees Harmony's influence and direct "String-pulling" as being to deeply ingrained in Post-Catacendre society; so they feel it would be easier to eliminate life on Scadrial, as in the end it would hinder Autonomy's plans to make the entire Cosmere "Autonomous" But, Even Khriss doesn't seem to know what Bavadin's game is with her/their constant interference on other worlds. I honestly hope we get Trell resolved in TLM, of all the Cosmere plots, Trell's makes the most sense, and the least sense at the same time.

Literally one of the most quotable Shardcasts yet. And now my member title is "ignite them"

Yeah, it would have been a stretch to combine 1-2. I do like the way you layed this out- WoT has tons of Finale worthy moments.

Copy of MB: Secret History: "Find Secrets" Red Envelope: "Yell at People"

I hope they do try to make it a bit more of a mystery. I knew Rand was the Dragon Reborn before I even picked up EoTW- and not from past knowledge mind you. If they do obscure it, I will be internally giggling like a madman as my friends attempt to figure out who the Dragon is. For season 1, I feel like they should primarily focus on EoTW, but if they consolidate a bit, I could see them fitting TGH into season 1 as well. How would you guys split the seasons? I'm quite curious.

It could also be possible that the being that refers to itself as Nakomi is referring to itself with that title to purposely throw Aviendha off. The Aiel seem to have a much greater usage of the Old Tongue than the other cultures in Randland, so if this being (Whether or not it is Future!Aviendha or the Avatar of The Creator) had any intention of keeping their true identity hidden from Aviendha, creating a purposely misleading title seems like the best way to do it. (Or, Nakomi is just really wanted to troll Aviendha and the community) But those are just my thoughts on the matter

These rings are dang cool looking! If only I weren't broke.

This was possibly the most hilarious Shardcast yet! I was dying laughing on multiple occasions

Vin and Elend are one of the cutest Cosmere couples, and I love the fact that you've continually produced incredible music for them. Also, "You read too much" is probably something I would get told...

Congrats @Firerust! I knew you had it in ya!

"The Wheel of Time turns and ages come and pass, bringing memories that fade to legend and legend fades to myth, and even myth long faded before the Age that gave it birth comes again..."

It's entirely ethical

A good retaliation, @Firerust my old friend. Although I must digress from the opinions of Jasnah expressed therein

I don't know about anyone else, but I've always kind of wanted Vax to be somewhat akin to Mortis from Star Wars:TCW

I believe that there is definitely some influence from Brandon's LDS faith, however as LDS myself, I'm inclined to believe that a person's beliefs are going to leak through in their writing no matter if it was international or not, because moral beliefs are such a significant part of who we are as people.

I eagerly anticipate your comeback my friend.

I shall begin with a slight irony, I got @Firerust to participate, and now we must face each other. Anakin vs Obi-Wan anyone? Note: Views towards the characters roasted within are not necessarily my own. Rap Contains OB spoilers What's up y'all Jasnah's on the scene Scholar, heretic, and your Radiant queen! Shallan says "You're Alethi beauty's perfection" and I reply "Shallan, was that ever in question?" Ya'll saw how I put an end to Amaram's boastin' be prepared because now, I'm really starting roastin'! Oh is that you Lopen? you aren't dead yet (well here's to hopin') You think you're cool Gancho, think you're funny and charming? Well you're not! I'm sorry, was that a little disarming? 2nd Ideal Windrunner? You ain't even broken, me and many others really wish you'd be croakin'! Szeth, Szeth, are you really gonna try? My name is Jasnah Kholin, you killed my father, prepare to die! You think your glowy eyes and your blade frighten me? and I ain't gonna lie, I got my Shardplate, and I'd like to see you try. You claim that you're Truthless? Then I'm your antithesis! A Verisitalian- pursuit of truth is my game, and people believe me, not brand me insane. A magic rock? You're kidding me right? you didn't even question if what you did was right? A lack of free will is the sign of a coward, go think on that whilst these truth-bombs I shower! And finally Taln. Well you're running late, and just because you're last doesn't mean I think you great. I've read about you and your many final stands- but sometimes death and glory isn't what's grand. You think you're here to help and I'm sorry to tell, that if you'd just die, then all would be well. You may complain and say it's above my station, but I'ma kill you and send you back to damnation! You think you gave us time, well that's certainly true, say hello to my Shardblade, back to damnation for you! This battle is over before it's even begun, just look and logically see that I've already won. Jasnah Kholin has settled the score, to quote Ivory, I'm very HarmMore!

I feel, that read in any other way than the anthology, Lies of The Beholder would feel incredibly rushed, but, read in the anthology with the viewpoint that this is all one story, lies of the beholder is like the climax, and epilogue to Stephen's story. We resolve the conflicts that were set out in Legion, and explored in Skin Deep: The Aspects, and Sandra. It's almost like the final bit at the Grey Havens in LOTR. Lies of the Beholder is certainly not the best Legion story- but knowing how personal it was for Brandon, and how the end of LotB leaves you bittersweet, and kind of reflective- I can't see it ending any other way
