Well, if you have evil Seons associated with Fjordell, I'd be more inclined to say that they're the equivalent of Seons but with Dakhor symbols rather than Aons. Remember he says "basically evil Seons" not that they're actual Seons. An equivalent in a different magic system would make sense.

they continued eating Mwahahahaha!

Now that is interesting! But then is the lake that Alendi's group found NOT Ruin's liquid form, or did TLR simply move it underground?

No, I mean having an object orbit around another object. Well, I imagine you could do both, Lash an object to another object, a specific point or just a direction.

What would happen if you Lashed an object to another object and then it missed? Would it come back around towards it from another direction? Could you cause something to orbit something else in such a way? I'm kinda thinking in terms of Super Mario Galaxy when it comes to gravity here.

Congratulations! You have dethroned Ryan as having the best Art on the site! It's pretty, but yeah, that's not really how I see her either. I always thought of her as silvery, and taller.

Shadesmar seems to reflect the physical world. Note how the Shadesmar map is the same as Roshar except with oceans and land flipped. I would assume that the spiritual realm would be the same.

I'm thinking the spren types are actually tied to the order of Radiant, cuz I don't think Kaladin's going to get another spren buddy since he's already said the oath. This wouldn't change anything. Its not the Knights that get two different types of spren, but two orders of knights get the same type of spren. E.g. line spren might cover both soulcasting orders. But now I think of it, I do agree that each order probably has its own type of spren, though the spren between the two orders which share the same magic ability would have to be similar in some respect (honour spren bond, and the other surgebinding order's spren would also have to bond, though they would be a different type of spren). But each order is tied to two magic systems. If each magic system gets a spren and each order gets two magic systems, each order would get two spren. (yay, syllogisms!)

Well, we know that the Shardblades are stored in the spiritual realm, so it's really the logical conclusion to be reached.

For 4) you'd pretty much have to be right in the middle of a highstorm to get enough stormlight for that... Which is actually an awesome image.

Where is this interview? Could someone post a link? So if each a magic system can go over two orders, I'm assuming that the small glyphs are magic systems? Also is it possible that each magic system is tied with a particular type of magic system, so that each glyph also a spren type? The interview is in the News and Announcements sections.I'm thinking the spren types are actually tied to the order of Radiant, cuz I don't think Kaladin's going to get another spren buddy since he's already said the oath.

When you think about it, in the part of the spiritual realm corresponding to Roshar, you'd see Shardblades floating around everywhere, following their bonds. It's kind of a funny image, but it might be important.

Brandon has pretty much said that Preservations number is 16. It was how he tried to send his message to the people about who he is etc. Well, it says in the HoA epigraphs that sixteen has influence beyond what Preservation used it for.

Can we get a Spoiler Warning on this topic? EDIT: Never mind, I forgot this was in GT. Well, Brandon has said that there would still be mists in the second Mistborn Trilogy (well, duh) but that there would be black mists as well as the white ones. I'm pretty sure he said it would correspond to Sazed's use of Preservation and Ruin's power in different places. But I'm not sure if that's what he said, I could be wrong.

I like to think so. It's an interesting thing to speculate on. I saw that and i was like, hmmm, the Almighty is likely to be 10, so that rules out that number, and I thought considering the strength of the evidence, 5 would be the most relevant number. (Biochrome is a science where not much is known, so something definite and unchanging like the heightening that Returned come back at was a good choice). It is possible for there to be more than 10 heightenings, and 4 biochromatic entities. Unlikely, but as we've seen with Allomancy, people generally underestimate a magic system. Another constant in Awakening would be the number of focuses, Breath, Color and Command, so that would be three.

What connection does Endowment have to 5? I'd be more inclined to say 3 or 4.

We know it isn't the Well of Ascension, so it's probably the counterpart for Ruin.

Cheetos, go figure.

GREATEST WORLD EVAR. But EVERYONE would turn into puppies at the full moon, so there would be no one to cuddle the adorable little creatures. Except for world hoppers like Hoid. It bet it's his favorite vacation spot.
