Invention would have loved Wernher von Braun. Not evil, amoral in the truest sense of the word. Mercy is a passion. I am afraid I need to point out that Mercy is a natural enemy of Honor and Cultivation. Honor implies fairness and carrying out threats. I need to point out an important qualifier in Venli's second oath. Cultivation is nice if you grow and procreate. However, if you do not, well - she is not Mercy. Cultivation has a Darwinian aspect to her. Jasnah's attitude and a closer association of her order to Cultivation are not accidental.

Corrupted Investiture. He did have Stormlight in him, when did that, didn't he? Child of Tanavast - can we take that semiliterally? Kaladin is a direct, recent descendant of Tanavast and fueled some inherited magic of Tanavast's home world with Stormlight?

He is also a god of passion and revolution. Yet Ulim knew that he was smuggled into Roshar and expected to go to the Listeners. And that was part of Odium's plans. So do you want to argue that the gem he was hidden in was stolen by the Ghostbloods who subsequently were nice enough to do exactly what the original owners wanted to do in the first place?

Or hypothetically it made them realize that their understanding was incorrect. Yet the Knights Radiant existed for millenia before the Recreance. No Knight breaking his oaths in all those years is quite unlikely. So what happened to an oathbreaker's spren before that time? It looks like the capture changed oaths themselves.

On the roof of Urithiru and not otherwise to be harmed. That looks to me like Dalinar agreed to the enemy surpression effect to be deactivated. Odium's champion could be an Unmade. In fact, what does Dalinar do if Odium proposes Nergaoul or Ba-Ado-Mishram?

These are two different questions, though they are related. (Scadrial) Honor and Cultivation support an official religion that fully supports an aristocracy. That is not really attractive to people of that heritage. And at the end of the day Terrispeople need to eat and pay the bills.

Lift is being able to do so. Lift's fuel is not straight Stormlight. Drawing conclusions from her is unlikely to lead to a valid.result. AFAIK Lift never breathed in Stormlight.

I always considered the spear a way of talking about Kaladin.

When exactly is it released? Tonight 0:00 UTC?

OK, that makes it clearer. Yes. I think the break through is that she can now invert up and down at will and, most important, use downward and upward motion to power lateral movement. Yet spanreeds make it pretty clear that lateral movements at least can be exchanged. Not necessarily. By the data we have we can only tell that the mental frame of reference matters, not that every frame is (meta)physically possible. In particular, it seems that gravity is a force that cannot be mentally overcome. Good questions I have no answer for. Yet, spanreeds. They care only about levelling them. It is possible that that can happen. Yet, it opens another can of worms. Whose perception would break it? If I looked at it, while you do not and you paired them, would it break the lock? Yes, it does. Well, no. A frame of reference with both cojoiners at rest just need not exist. If you are in a carriage going towards me, there is no frame of reference where you are at rest to me. While we are standing on Roshar there is (an observer at the center of the planet rotating with it). But to an observer on a moon, the one of us further south is slower. If you chose a frame of reference not rotating with Roshar. I must suggest that we are mixing up things. There is a frame of reference issue (Dawnshard) This frame is chosen at least partially on perception. Details are unclear. There is a question of what direction is what direction. That is basically a different question. If I pull my spanreed towards an edge of the board, into which direction does that pull your spanreed? Is that determined by the frame of reference? That seems unlikely, in fact basically disproved by spanreeds.

Wyndle was more or less ordered. There is no reason to think that other kinds of Spren would go that far. There is no reason to think that all kinds of Spren are equally numerous. Why? They fly by falling. Objects fall equally fast regardless of mass. They demonstrated that during Apollo on the Moon even. And Plate enhances you physically.

Why go for old stuff? We have a chance to see more Aviar and Aethers being used.

You could solve that by a careful cycling, provided the chull cart can take the full weight of Fourth Bridge. That is, you do the following cycle at the end of a trip of the chulls: stop - switch on Urithiru - switch of Chull cart - turn the Chulls - switch on Chull cart - switch off Urithiru - restart Even if the directions were cardinal, you could solve this by having a second team of chulls. (Dawnshard) The open question is the frame of reference. Spanreeds are very instructive in that regard. They do tell us that cojoiners can use a rotating frame of reference. In fact, it is likely that that is unavoidable on a planetary surface. The other question is rotation.

Isn't that what Cusicesh is likely to be? The Aimian equivalent of The Sibling, formerly altering conditions on Aimia and now driven off and rendered jobless?

Yes. But the issue goes away if you stop assuming that the frame of reference can be changed. I am afraid the idea that while the frame of reference is arbitrary, the idea of motion would also be arbitrary is false. Given a frame of reference there is an objective reality in distances and motion. What other questions remain? Again, you just need to drop the idea that the cojoined objects would change distance unless a force is used. Because they were constrained by gravity. Up is up and down is down. How else could that be? Why Roshar and not the local star? And it seems to me that there are rules. Gravity is still valid.

It seems to me that you are making the assumption that the frame of reference can be changed after the cojoining is established. Much of your troubles derive from that.

It seems to me that the Vikings indeed did become Catholic and did go on to conquer many lands.

Yet this is dangerous. It shows a species to be the enemy, not the adherents of a Shard. And Jasnah should know better by now. She is still considering the option of a genocidal solution.

That containing a Dawnshard has the same effect as having a Dawnshard removed is a daring assumption.

The reasoning is logical, but it contains the unstated assumption that the altered Madaras are native to Roshar's Shadesmar. Greatshells would support Madaras. But that does not prove that the coevolution of Lanceryn and Madaras happened on Roshar. In fact it is unclear how those gigantic hordelings would walk on land without a Madara.

We witnessed how it was discovered that aluminium affects Cojoiners in an interesting manner. And we got a Q&A session with an expert. partially isolated cojoiners allow free movement in the unaffected plane reversers do not reverse rotation aluminium does not block rotation (any rotation, not just in the plane. Huio's altered spanreed would have fallen over or spun, if rotation were blocked.) some strange frame of reference effect is in force So in principle Rysn could mount a fan on her chair and she'd have a hovercraft.

If this is a recording of the Command, it would have to be a Yolish language, as the Dawnshards predate the Shattering.

Why disgused? Is there any reason you needed to be or pretend to be human to become a Knight Radiant? If that were the case Plate would be common on Roshar. The Knights Radiant had at least hundreds of members and existend for thousands of years.

Well, what was he supposed to do once Kaladin reneged? He could only hope that the coconspirators would not try to eliminate him. It is Kaladin's fault.
