  1. Yes, I think that is exactly it. The spren draw something from their bonded person, and that something makes them more human. Also, the bond puts something of a limit to what a shardblade can do. A dead spren shardblade can be used by anyone, but I'm assuming that a live spren would refuse to work with anyone who somehow manage to get possession of the blade against the KRs will. Like, if Kaladin willed Syl to stay as a blade while he walked off to do his businesss and someone came and picked up Syl while was away...
  2. So wait, does that mean that Nazh can travel backwards in time?
  3. Avatar the Last Airbender, yes. Michael Crichton books, yes. About all I've read outside of SF/F. <--They're techno thrillers, not SF, I think. No idea what The Fault in Our Stars is, but with so many mentions I'm off to investigate. I liked Frozon. Wreck It Ralph was better. I remember cartoons like DBZ and Gargoyles from when I was younger.
  4. When you remember exactly when you saw that interview and the comment and thought "SO THAT WAS YOU"!
  5. When you have to focus REALLY HARD to not think about the Realmatics behind the magic systems in every other non-cosmere Brandon Sanderson book you read.
  6. Yes, what is missing from the spren can't come from another spren, it can only come from a bond with a person. That's what got ripped away, and that's what needs to be replaced. So it's possible that someone with a dead shardblade can revive the spren by living the ideals of a KR and saying the oaths. However, the person would have to be a candidate for the right order to match the spren.
  7. I'd say it's not the person known as Taln, as he seems a bit too central to the plot and is slated for a POV, and Brandon has said you don't need to read the other cosmere books to understand what is going on. Giving a kandra a POV outside of Scadrial doesn't seem to jive with that.
  8. Argent, I'm pretty sure humans migrated to Roshar from elsewhere. I don't think it's cannon yet, but it's as close as you can get to it, I think. Anyway, I thought that the name Axehound came from the humans who first arrived on Roshar. They knew what a hound was, and what an axe was, so when they saw this beast they thought it looked kind of houndish with an axe like head. Axehound.
  9. Now I have the theme song of Beauty and the Beast running through my head. Thanks for that. Bonjour.
  10. When you get immense pleasure from reading this epic thread because you started it.
  11. Oh, this takes me back. Anyway, wouldn't you need permission to use Brandon's intellectual property in this way?
  12. Hoid was not using surgebinding. Lightweaving existed on Yolen. That's where he gets it from.
  13. Shardbearer

    Wayne?

    I don't think that he is a full feruchemist. I think he is a kleptomaniac, and "stealing" accents and identities is an outlet for that.
  14. The God Beyond is a term that appears in a few different worlds, yes? And of course any mention of Shards or Adonalsium.
  15. I think maybe you have this a little backwards. You don't need to know about the Cosmere to read SA, but that doesn't mean you can read the Cosmere crossover books without reading SA.
  16. When you start to feel twitchy because you haven't had your 17th shard forum fix.
  17. The first Mistborn trilogy has an Ahlstrom street or something like that, right?
  18. That only worked for the Gate in the Shattered Plains. They mentioned trying the same thing with the others and it didn't work.
  19. I think to only time I don't get this if I reply with quote. I think I get the other error mentioned in a different thread if I quote, but I haven't tested it to be sure.
  20. So whenever I reply to a thread I get something that looks like this: It goes away and looks right once I hit refresh, but that is just weird.
  21. I took that little line as referring to some other event that we don't know about yet, but it could be Dalinar's visit to the Nightwatcher. Or it could be the early manifestations of her bond.
  22. It's possibly that Ashyn was more fertile before humanity was forced to flee to Roshar, if it is the Tranquiline Halls. But it also makes sense for Braize to have been the Tranquiline Halls, then Odium came and the people retreated to Roshar and it became Damnation, and now the lore says they need to reclaim the Halls.
  23. I believe lifesense sees investiture. Nalthians with breath have innate investiture, drabs have lost that. Rosharians also have innate investiture, and Kaladin has stormlight on top of that. I would guess that spren are cognitive aspects brought partially into the Physical Realm through investiture. So Zahel can sense that.
  24. I think Ashyn is probably what the Rosharians are reffering when they talk about the Tranquiline Halls. Either that, or that was Braize before Odium took over.
