  1. Maybe but It would take a lot of mental gymnastics, To make it work. You might find 1 or 2 but it wouldn't be something that most of the radiance of these authors do.
  2. Kalidin tried to be an assassin, Look what happened. Skybreakers literally cannot break the law, making assassin impossible in are current political system. Egdedancer could probably only assinate under specific circumstances. Making it not a viable profession for them.
  3. Few orders would allow for assassination. Some of them sure but not all.
  4. Skybreakers more like judges though I think some could be police officers. Windruners have more soldier energy then police officers. But I can still see them as police maybe. Edge dangers were definitely not being therapy clinics. The whole thing is getting out there going to the people. More likely they would be overseas charity work, And given that Brandon has revealed that they tend to attract the deeply religious, Missionary work as well. Light weavers, Actors and other performers. Singers and writers. True Watchers, Would be theologians philosophers, journalists, Scientist. Anyone who's profession is based on discovering the concrete absolute truth. Bondsmiths politicians, religions, businesses and military leaders. Really any position that can allow them to unite larger numbers of people. Not sure about the other orders I'd have to think about them more.
  5. Why would el be made champion, that gains odium no advantage?
  6. A continuation of this discussion but for mistborn. One side has a metalborn population (with a elite class class of mistborn and ferochemy) Harmonium tec, medallions, and one fullborn The other has post ww1 tec Location post harmony scadrel.
  7. I thought shinivar had fossil fuels because it Is created to be based on Earth ( Or whatever the planet of humanity's origin in the cosmere)
  8. I heard this theory before, I think it's overrated in my opinion I know a lot of people hold to it I Understand why but. It would be cool to T as odium and D as honor. But I just don't see how the story can get to that point. But who knows maybe next book there'll be some unexpected twists. It's Brandon Sanderson so anything is possible.
  9. Yes there is a specifically says that they can't see the future and there Illumination behaves normally.
  10. 1. ishar took rest the honor blades with him a few decades back. 2. Shinivar is pretty big. And that has had large enough population in the past to conquer a large portion of Roshar. So I would say at least USSR. If not USA. Does anyone have the exact numbers on the size of shinivar?
  11. Curious is anyone have any numbers on how aluminum performs as armor?
  12. For simplicity's sake, Assume shinavar went through a massive industrialization modernization and population increase A few generations back. And Comparable to a modern state now. Assume also has had several decades to completely Fill up the knight's radiant. And create more anti investure. Odium's forces are either neutral or reluctantly Allied to the rest of roshar. And ishar took the honor blades same as in our time line
  13. Dose the book ever give a top speed for a Windrunner? Curiously
  14. One side has end of ww2 level of technology (including atom bomb) The other has ancient and modern fabrils, a full order of knights Randiance, both god metals and anti investure weapons, Who wins? Location roshar
  15. We already know number one to be true. Odium Tone Has joined the 2 others in the rhythm of roshar. Lesser void Sprint have been Shown to be on roshar the entire time (storm spren and possible agnerspren) Capturing and unmade literally physically affected the ecology of roshar.
  16. They are far from the same protection dose not equal freedom. Honnor buy its nature restricts freedom the orders are opposite.
  17. Maybe more like the effect of time your body. Have a broken leg, put in a cast Burn some metal and skip 6 months worth of healing.
  18. It would have to be a pretty small nuke if it has less then a mile blast distance.
  19. If you want you can swap a spike for 2 modern weapons so long as you can carry that weapon on you. A mile's distance between you is the most I'll allow
  20. Something I never thought of before but I like it. the possibilities You could soothe your own emotions. Enhance someone else with pewter, Instead of Pushing or pulling metal away from you,You can make metal Push or pull on things. Are 2 alomancy enhancement metals Would probably just trade places. Not sure how the temporal medals would change. Perhaps you'd put the bubble around someone else around something else.
  21. Twin born ability is plus 4 spikes of your choice. Your opponent is a 4th ideal knight radiant What will you choose.
  22. 1.Ok aside from that wob that,only says that there are people that some believe there is a god unrelated to shards, is any reference to this God beyond in the books? 2.Dalinar has never even used the phrase "God beyond " what are you take about? 3. What dose your analogy about rain have any thing to do with investigature? Investiture is not rain, rain is natural, where as investiture is the power of God. 4. No I not moving the goal post, you are just ignoring what i mean by creation in order insert your own definition. 5. The power speaks to him, The power likes questions, The power chooses him, That's far from mindless. I do agree that their mind is incomplete, There are only 1/16th a person after all. But incomplete is not mindless. 6. That's exactly my point, Gravity, electromagnetism, Strong and weak forces, Don't interact with higher planes of existence they don't, Interact with the soul, Trying to compare them to investiture Which does is profoundly stupid. It You're like saying vampires are just humans who are dead, and suck blood, And turn into bats, And can casually throw cars, None of these are things that regular humans can do so clearly vampires are not human. I agree even in our world very few atheists exists. What people would consider themselves agnostic. Is the actual percentage of true atheist is very small. You can disagree if the shards are God, But you recognize there exist and the existence of there supernatural power. This is not the same as an atheist. If merely believing that something that claims to be a god was not Then most christians would be atheist.
  23. It seems like you are only familiar with Abrahamic religions. Most gods have little control authority over the afterlife. In most religions only one member of the pantheon has that. If at all. Yes just like the ancient Egyptians in my example I don't see your point.
