Fair point though Athens and Sparta were in separate leagues. So really both were subparts/center of larger Communities.

stormlight archive The Skybreakers are oath-breakers.
bmcclure7 replied to Spideyninja20's topic in Stormlight Archive
When did he ever do that ? I don't remember reading anything like that? He did admit to being wrong but that was about whether or not the desolations had start. If that what you are referring to He was only admitted to being factually incorrect not moral wrong. You can be wrong(incorrect)and still right (moral true to your ideal). Nail makes that point to szeth when thay first meets. Saying that he was wrong to kill those men but right in following the law of his people. The same principle applies to Nail. Dalinar is the law to Zseth and Nale obviously has a different 3d oaths So I don't see how this is relevant? Choosing between singer or human law is a question of legitimacy not morality. The hole point of skybreaker is that they trust in there own morality so there put there trust in some external rule to guild them instead of internal morality, The law( Nale), Dalinar (Szeth), Nale (skybreakers) , I do not kill (Batman). So to answer the question the question can the skybreakers different differentiate between morality and law. The answer is it doesn't matter by virtue of being a skybreaker you give up your moral agency. -

Nope there Spren are very much alive. They don't think there means are evil because they follow the law and there Spren agree. If they were to kill a radiant who hadn't committed a crime worthy of death then they would be oath breakers which is why there are so careful to always have the proper warrants. No where has Nale considered his actions morally wrong. -
No we don't know what is causing his pasivism if it is what I think it is then it wouldn't make a difference.

They would have broken up by rthmy of war. Things would more tense between Adolin and him.

1. Elhokar continues as king but uses Jasnah as an advisor. Not sure he would end slavery but perhaps if Jasnah convinced him. He have started his own order probably make a lot of high princes his Squires. The Monarch would definitely continue. And his son wouldn't be so traumatized. He probably what to marry again probably a radiant.

The king's ascension happened only recently so up to that point it had been an Oligarchy.

Theory: Why There are 9 types of Voidbindings (Spoilers)
bmcclure7 replied to The Stormuncle's topic in Stormlight Archive
At least one regal form seem to be a voidbinder I suspect the rest are as well. From Renarin it seems that voidbinding is just surges with different applications this seems to be confirmed by the charts. Aside from Renarin the only other sources of speculation we can gather for voidbinding is from the regals and the unmade themselves.- 5 replies

Preservation should have been the antagonist of Era 1, not Ruin
bmcclure7 replied to Stormtide_Leviathan's topic in Mistborn
It only really makes sense for book one once the Lord ruler is dead, There is no reason for preservation to be to be an enemy to our heroes, In contrast once the Lord ruler is dead there's no reason for ruin to be a friend either. I feel you'd have to make the story much more like a traditional fantasy story to make preservation the bad guy. Make it a generic trilogy about a good rebellion vs the evil Empire, then make the main character kelsier instead of vin, then End book 3 with the Lord ruler's death and you can make preservation the bad guy bad but that just is not the way the way Brandon Sanderson wanted to write it.- 21 replies

Preservation should have been the antagonist of Era 1, not Ruin
bmcclure7 replied to Stormtide_Leviathan's topic in Mistborn
I strongly disagree. This might have worked for book one, And essentially it is true for book one as as preservation is in a sense the hidden antagonist of book 1. But it makes no sense for the rest of era one. If Brandon Sanderson was trying to write a story about overthrowing an evil Empire then yes would make sense to make Ruin the good God and the Preservation the bad God. However era one is fundamentally about what happens after you Defeat the evil Empire. Which is why They defeat the Lord ruler at the end of book one instead of the end of book 3. From that perspective it makes much more sense to have preservation as a good god. As for how they would get along, It really depends. Atis a God, It should not be hard for him to act the part of being friends with Kelsey and while Kelsey is a smart man I'm not sure hes smart enough to see through the trick of an immortal, literal God. Ati would of course turn on him As is intent requires him to but for a time at least he could probably convince Kelsey that he was his friend.- 21 replies

Age is the opposite of physical maturity. Age is your body running down Falling apart through the entropy. Maturity It's about your body growing developing cultivating itself. It would be about either bring yourself up to an adult or if you're storing it ring yourself down to a kid level as far as your physical body goes. Store age and you become an old man. Store maturity you become child.

It seems to me that age comes more from the atium side not the electrum. I suspect that pure alien will just be a more efficient form of what we have now. If you think about it age is literal entropy. So you're storing your body's own entropy which makes sense given that it's ruin's God medal.
