    This is a fantastic post and provides the most direct and straightforward summation of what could be one of the main themes of the Stormlight Archive.

    I really like this theory a lot. It makes a tremendous amount of sense. I look forward to some of Brandon's unpublished works coming forth so that they can also be examined for evidence of the Cosmere's afterlife.

    We also have repeated WoB that Sazed is positioned in a metaphorical Lagrange point between the enormous Spiritual power of the two Shards he holds, and that this placement restricts the freedom of action his Cognitive mind possesses. I agree though that if disharmonious things began happening in the Cosmere that he would probably be able to act quite easily.
  4. TheOneKEA
    This is an interesting theory. With so little textev about the early timeline of the Cosmere it has no more or less of a chance at being accurate than any other theory, but given the references I think this one is well founded. I'd love to ask Brandon if the Shards were created all at once or if they were originally seized all at once.

    I decided a long time ago that stars in the Cosmere dwarf galaxy also had souls. But I want someone to ask Brandon if they also have minds, and what powers those minds possess in the Cognitive Realm. I also want to see how cagey he gets when someone asks if the star's cognitive aspect expands the Cognitive Realm enough for Shadesmar to be formed.

    The tidbit about Hemalurgy being practiced during Harmony's reign is very interesting to me. I know people have speculated about Bloody Tan and whether or not he was a Hemalurgist. It's also possible that Brandon is trolling us, because we know that Marsh, the kandra and the koloss are still around and they are also practicing Hemalurgy...

    "I stand in shock. The Blade comes, and she who lies speaks truth. Oh! I die!"

    It's based on WoB that if you put enough uncontrolled, undirected power in one place that it will become sentient. http://www.17thshard.com/forum/topic/6597-theory-man-made-adonalsium/ has a post from Argent with the WoB. I'm speculating further by guessing that any freshly formed intelligence will be very young and very immature, and will only have the fragmentary memories that the Seons appear to have about what happened to the Shards; therefore, I'm guessing that the intelligence in question doesn't know any better and will lash out at anything that might hurt it.

    I think the Cognitive Realm on Sel is dangerous because the splintered bits of the two Shards have self-organized into a new semi-Shard with a partially formed cognitive aspect tainted by Odium's actions, and thus is lashing out on instinct against any being that comes within range in self-defense. As for the big hint that Brandon is alluding to, didn't Raoden hear a voice talking to him when he touched the pool, asking him where he wanted to go? Or am I grossly misremembering that sequence?
  11. TheOneKEA
    This is absolutely amazing. Brandon and Peter need to work something out with Tor and the artist and make this an actual thing that anyone can buy.
  12. TheOneKEA
    Brandon just tweeted that Words of Radiance is #1 on the New York Times Bestseller List! I checked the NYT site but it hasn't updated yet, so I'm guessing that Peter or Brandon's agent told him.
  13. TheOneKEA
    Which magic system powers Shallan's Memory ability?
  14. TheOneKEA
    I find it very important that Brandon specifically said "Rayse is terrified of Sazed's" instead of "Odium is terrified of Harmony". That suggests several interesting points about the relationship between the cognitive and spiritual aspects of a Shard.
  15. TheOneKEA
    True, but I would expect that people who aren't familiar with those types of characters but still fans of fantasy series like The Dragonriders of Pern would read a segment about a dragon breathing ice and think "Our Dragons Are Different!"
  16. TheOneKEA
    What an interesting tidbit! It is certainly reasonable for a dragon to be named Frost; The Silmarillion has dragons that breathe ice instead of fire, and I would not be surprised if Brandon subverted another set of tropes with ice breathing dragons in Dragonsteel.
  17. TheOneKEA
    This is a very interesting theory. Someone should ask Brandon if any large collection of Investiture in one place can ever self-organize and gain a functional cognitive aspect, and if the mindless powers on Sel are capable of doing this. If he answers in the affirmative (or what passes for that with some WoB) then I think this theory has some legs.
  18. TheOneKEA
    I think both of these are true, and Rayse, already being a pretty terrible person, was goaded or influenced into taking control of the Odium Shard because of some mistaken belief that it might overwhelm him or otherwise make him controllable in some way.
  19. TheOneKEA
    I referred to it as The Second Letter immediately after finding it. I made this thread this thread in the WoR forum with my initial thoughts on what the letter is telling us.
  20. TheOneKEA
    Thanks Argent! My immediate reaction is that Harmony or someone like him is writing this. It sounds like a naked plea to keep Odium leashed by whatever agreement it made with Honor and the risk that he could be loosed. The only thing that makes me think it isn't Harmony is that the author acts like he participated in the process by which Rayse assumed control of the Odium Shard, so unless Harmony's cognitive aspect has expanded further to include the cognitive remnants of Ati and Leras left on the Ruin and Preservation Shards, I doubt Harmony wrote this letter.
  21. TheOneKEA
    Has anyone collected the entirety of the Second Letter yet? There are new mentions of Rayse by name and his murder of his fellow Shards, and a very blunt statement of his "godly hatred" and its separation from "the virtues that gave it context".
  22. TheOneKEA
    I was shocked when Syl and Pattern revealed themselves as Shardblades and even more shocked when Syl transformed the way she did. There are so many parallels between the brain-dead spren that from most Blades and the brain-dead Seons of people affected by the Reod on Sel. Someone REALLY needs to ask Brandon if the injury to the cognitive aspect of both is the same.
  23. TheOneKEA
    This. All of this. ALL OF THIS, EVERY TIME.

    Under normal circumstances, I would agree with you. I decided that Wayne and Marasi's cognitive perception of their bubbles are such that light is specifically not affected by the time dilation, thus preventing any acute red shifting or blue shifting of the light entering or exiting the bubble. I don't recall any textev describing any changes in lighting when inside one of Wayne's bubbles. If this is true, and cognitive perception controls how the bubble affects light crossing its border, that may have major implications for Kurkistan's FTL theories. I'd love to ask Brandon what would happen if someone aimed a green laser at an object from inside a bubble of both types, and then aimed a green laser at an object from outside a bubble of both types. It sounds like a massive RAFO Bait question.
  25. TheOneKEA
    It's not clear, but the structure of the description of Szeth watching Gavilar suggests that there is a delay of some type. There's at least enough if a delay for Szeth to notice the guards yelling in the background after Gavilar's death.
