But can you use it? These are distinct questions.Presumably steel, iron, zinc and brass would work only within the Plate. There is also Amaram. He used the Surges only after bursting his sabatons.

This chapter's annotations rule out the Horneater Peaks as a theater of action we are going to see for now. This means that the Knights Radiant are not making an effort to retake them. So why did Odium occupy them in Shadesmar? A mistake because he thought it was the only perpendicularity his enemies could use? Is he expecting an external intervention?

The ashmounts were not old enough. They spewed for 1024 years and yjay started less than 1400 years ago. They'd have a small layer with subfossilized remains and that's it.

So what caused the agony? How strictly in chronological order are the chapters? Must we conclude that something happened that caused Leshwi agony and changed the war, but nobody in Urithiru noticed anything?

There must be methods that do not require Metallic Arts, as the Ire feared Threnodite shadows far outside the Threnodite system in Secret History. However, that does not rule out that there are multiple methods. For once we know that Hoid was in Terris. The conclusion that he wanted Feruchemy is plausible. It looks like Connectors can make new connections between third parties. He would just spend time on Scadrial, store Connection to it, compound and apply it to his spren.

What? This is still the first day. Fourth Bridge is over a thousand kilometers away picking up Herdazians.

You can't be an effective con-artist without some realism in that department, nor a visual artist.

At the risk of appearing callous, Evi was a traitor. Dalinar could have had her executed for what she did. And she died due to an accident and had intentionally endangered herself.

Tall by Alethi standards and a world hopper? Just Iri ancestry by any chance? Well, no. If it were unique or nearly so Adolin woud not complain about the uniforms. The expectation would be unreasonable.

Cultivation. That would be monumental.

If a Ferring were to take a bead of Lerasium, the presumable result would be a Mistborn with one feruchemical power. We recently had a thread on how to call such people.

Why then are there sixteen metals? That is his number specifically. True. Yet we have not seen a metal whose effect is limited to one place so far.

With an Unmade residing in Urithiru and apparently doing so even while the Knights Radiant were still there, how could they not? So they just happen to decide to attack Urithiru for no apparent reason and without preparation? That would require a level of stupidity Odium's side has not shown so far. Or something unforseen has happened, forcing their hand. But then the unforseen event is the real reason. It would boil down to the Sibling reawakening or having reawoken. She would of course be right. If would be the Heavenly Ones more or less alone into an environment where flight is useless. In other words: suicide And everybody knows it. So what can it be? The Sibling reawakening, well yes, but what do they hope to gain by a desperate immediate strike on Urithiru? And - agony? Really? What does make it/them so dangerous?

Why would that surprise Leshwi and cause her agony? This looks like something has been done to Odium's side, not the reverse.

You mean we would leave Venli after only one chapter? With a cliffhanger in the very first real chapter?

You'd have to soulcast every sword separately. Casting steel requires temperatures that are beyond primitive technology. Yet if you do that you lose the work hardening step. Fur?

That turns this into a useless remark. Kaladin surely never fights with anything but the Sylspear if he can help it. It is a different species. With reduced sexual characteristics in the non-breeding form. Can you tell most male and female mammals apart?

How did Leshwi know that Sylphrena was present? She did not show herself. Was that a conclusion from seeing Kaladin talk to the thin air?

Hm. They became the Fused before they were Surgebinders.

Ingenious. That may work.

Sorry. Yet gems are special on Roshar enable soulcasting the only material you cannot make by Soulcasting (you can make even aluminium) can hold Stormlight potentially perfectly The idea that you can draw conclusion for other materials from gem stones is daring.

There is coal from other geological eras, after the evolution of wood. China has large deposits from the Jurassic for example. Cretaceous coal is found in Africa and Siberia. On Scadrial presumably like we did it in the early 20th century. On the other planets with charcoal and preindustrial methods. (Or however Taldain looks at the time of SA) Roshar is the great unknown. However, that the Shin specifically buy metals showing the forms of the stuff they were soulcast from as opposed to stuff that desecrated rock, proves that the process of refining ores is known. Technically it is on oil and gas. And it may just mean that the Elendel basin has no oil. They need to heat a city of gigantic size. They are smelting steel to build armored cruisers and steel framed high rises and so on. You don't do that from charcoal. Scadrial has coal mines. They also have other mines. Presumably Ati and Leras created the planet with coal deposits. Both Roshar and First of the Sun show a lot of evolution. They must be dozens of millions of years old counting from the introduction/development of life. Time enough to form coal deposits, at least as lignite.

What for? Nothing that Venli does is constrained by power. Her use of Cohesion is for testing and training. And should she find herself leading her people through the wilderness, it will not matter how fast she builds them a storm shelter, but that it be large enough. And for peeking into the CR, Voidlight does the job. You can be quite sure people in the city took their spanreeds into their storm cellars under ground. It did not work. Kholinar fell silent. Again, a Fused looks very differently. Well, no. They identified an activated Soulcaster or fabrial. As long as they were switched off, there was no problem.

Such as? For Stormlight she needs to charge gems. In the CR? It's a lake. And Venli detected Leshwi through a ceiling. For Soulcasters

How would the Fused learn that withinin a few hours of it happening?
