  1. I was going for Feltrel but that’s close enough.
  2. Arien is a Maia who guides the sun through the sky. We know that the protectors of the celestial bodies can move them to their will as Tilion, guardian of the moon, was able to steer the moon near the sun. If the LOTR Characters came to the cosmere, Arien could steer the sun through planets, obliterating them entirely.
  3. We can take comfort in the fact that It still can’t possibly be as bad as the Percy Jackson movies.
  4. Nope. This place is in the roughs.
  5. Rebuttals: 1. Galadriel has the ability to read the mind of the enemy, which would presumably alert her to the fact that silver counteracts shades. 2. Assuming that Unlight functions as investiture. If not, then Ungoliant would be able to take out the edgedancer/any other knight radiant who gets remotely close to her before they have time to react. If Unlight does function as investiture, Nightblood wins and becomes king of the universe. In addition you'd have to do it before the boundless holds of orcs, dragons, and balrogs killed them. 3. A knight radiant wielding nightblood would A.) Not be able to get close enough to Ungoliant to use it before she killed them and B.) Probably die because Nightblood ate them. Again, if Unlight is investiture Nightblood wins 4.) Soulcasting enough Unlight to enshroud Ungoliant, a creature many times larger than Melkor who was in turn larger than any man or elf would again take the vast amounts of stormlight that are probably unattainable. New Points: 1.) LoTR characters such as Luthien can change their appearance. Good luck trying to fight someone if they can camouflage themselves amongst your ranks. 2.) The ring of power Nenya provides a protection that is nearly impenetrable 3.) It's for all intents and purposes impossible to kill Tom Bombadil in his domain, so the cosmere could never totally subjugate Arda. 4.) The many dragons of middle earth are nearly unkillable by mortal weapons, and the heat of their flames coupled with flight would make it difficult for even a knight radiant to get close while using Nightblood. 5.) Uruk-Hai breed like rabbits. Even Nightblood can eventually be taken down by a force larger in size. 6.) Ancalagon the Black, largest of the dragons, was large enough to crush a mountain range when he fell from the sky. Have fun getting your armies/shardbearers/knights radiant out of the way in time! 7.) Huan the wolf can only be killed by "The greatest wolf who ever lived" (Carcharoth), and as they're fighting together against the Cosmere, Huan is invincible. 8.) Even the lesser spirits, or Maia, have the power to reshape the world to their liking. This is rivaled only by the powers of shard bearers, which are possibly not even a factor in this battle due to you saying "No pantheons this time"
  6. 1.) Silver is one of the most plentiful metals found in Arda, making Shades nearly a nonfactor. (Tilion, for example, had a bow of silver. The dwarves and metallurgists of middle-earth would be able to easily make silver armor/weapons) 2.) Ungoliant can possibly devour stormlight, similar to the way she devours other types of light. Even if she couldn't, she can use Unlight to bind/torture the edge dancer before he/she touched her. (Ungoliant's reaction time is nearly unparalleled, given that she was able to hold he own in combat with Melkor, who was a valar and likely moved at immeasurably fast speeds. 3.) Someone still has to get Nightblood near Ungoliant without dying, and nightblood either A.) wouldn't be able to eat the Unlight due to it not being investiture. B.) Wouldn't be able to eat it all before killing the wielder. c.) Wouldn't be able to eat it all before Ungoliant killed his wielder. 4.) Windrunner healing is great and all, but as Ungoliant was able to trap Melkor, most powerful of the Valar in her webs of Unlight, she should be able to easily capture/kill a wind runner. Have fun trying to find enough stormlight to do it even if you could. Final point: Even if you were to find a way to kill Ungoliant, good luck trying to do it while Ancalagon the black (Strongest of the dragons), Melkor (Whose shouts shifted tectonic plates.) The rest of the Valar (Who created the world and everything in it), and multiple characters who can possibly travel at FTL speeds (Such as Arien and Tilion, protectors of the sun and moon, respectively.)
  7. Callsign: Shawshank
  8. I personally would go with either Warbreaker (Sort of a prequel to Stormlight, explains Szeth's sword a bit) or Mistborn (Brandon's other major series) If you're wondering why everyone is named Ookla at the moment, that's because you joined us right in the middle of Ookla season. (Explanation below)
  9. My brain's pulling a Shallan at the moment and pretending thats not true. On the other hand, welcome to the Shard! What books of Brandon's have you read?
  10. That's assuming any of them can get anywhere close to her. Ungoliant emits Unlight, a weapon so strong that the most powerful Ainur, Melkor, could not escape without the help of many of his balrog servants, and a cloak that made her undetectable and prevented both the strongest of the valar and the valar who was the best huntsmen on the planet from reaching her. As for elsecalling, I'm not sure if that's even possible to do a being as large as Ungoliant.
  11. https://coppermind.net/wiki/Adolin_Kholin This says AY-do-lin
  12. Nope. This place is from Era 2.
  13. Not to mention Ungoliant, the primordial being of darkness that can absorb light and literally CAPTURED THE SUN. Sand masters are great and all, but If you add Ungolaint into the equation they’d be basically useless. If she could “eat” stormlight too Ungoliant could incapacitate a significant amount of Brandon’s characters.
  14. Cool beans. This place is on Scadrial.
  15. Here ya go:
  16. Ta-da
  17. There’s a skyward memes thread
  18. *Puts a soulstamp on a shard and makes adonalsium*
  19. Elantris: White Sand: Words of Radiance: Warbreaker: The Hero of Ages:
  20. We are Ookla for we are many
  21. The valley of truth
