That was a considerable time after they were robbed off the corpses. Anyway, even assuming that this time is still too short, then the obvious answer would have been to wait for dawn. Running through a dark forest with shades around, bearing a heavy load is an unattractive option anyway. And she was not that much in a hurry. She'd just put a tarred tarpaulin over them, just in case, and wait for dawn to do the decapitation. The whole reason Silence let William Ann join her was to use her as a beast of burden. The plan makes no sense if there was a reasonable way to detach a head out in the Forest.

Too pretty. Both better choices. Though Kaladin needs a certain air of brooding and despair. Coupled with a dose of violence.

You could do such a thing. But why would you? It is a considerable risk to your life and the expense in silver is large. And that just to serve some travellers meat for dinner? I cannot see the economics adding up. OK, it may be that the settlement of the continent is recent and they will develop into vegetarians in a few decades, with their culture placing a large emphasis on stubborness. Or something unknown is going on.

Then why not just use the Fused? If he can cancel their immortality at will, he can break the bonds the hard way.

That shifts the questions. Why don't they bond can't they or won't they?

Do we have any idea whether voidspren can be materialized as "voidblades"? I cannot see a reason why not, but if it would be possible, why don't Odium's forces use the possibility?

Why do people spend a lot of money on aviars? That may seem like a trivial question at first. They are magic and give you powers. But let's look at the details. First, exclusivity: As far as mainlanders know the rule is one aviar per person at a time. Hence if you get one aviar you cannot just add to your powers, but you choose that power closing off the other possibilities. Second, the masking birds sell. Mating feathers from Kokerlii would attract a trapper. Why would you buy an aviar hiding your mind on the mainland? The predators of the Pantheon are limited to it and the waters near it. There are only a few hundred trappers. Every one of them already has a masking aviar. The Ones Above can detect aviar with a machine. Hence the masking ability is useless to them. So they want another aviar which conveys a power not found on other worlds. There must be something on the mainland that you need to hide your mind from. What could that be? It seems to me that the likeliest answer to that is other aviar. Now what is an ability we have seen on First of the Sun, not seen elsewhere? The most striking is outright telepathy. I conclude that there is an aviar that enables you to read minds.

There is more: As for the shades being silly, they care about running, but only at night and they care about kindling a fire, but fire as such is perfectly OK. The conclusion that they are a bit silly looks neigh inevitably to me.

No. The dead also stop moving, to state the obvious. He was dead. Yet William Ann still held the sack. Chesterton by that point had a smashed head. He was dead. And the blood on the hammer was his.

They would not need to. All you'd need to do would be a delay between the catastrophe taking out the emperor and the army of shadows forming and marching.

I did and they said the exact opposite. The shades quieted down because the people stop struggling. The blood was still dangerous. If it weren't, Silence could have exposed the hammer or cut off heads.

You could use a silver circle to butcher, but silver is blackened when shades run into it. Hence your venison dish would be a luxury. And yes, eventually you can remove the sack. But it takes many hours. Otherwise Silence and William Ann could have just cut off the heads of the corpses in the forest.

He fought Nale. And as for defensibly, well, he is a shardweapon, if he hits you in the right place, it is over for you. There is no stun setting.

Do I need to point out that the default physical form of a higher spren is a sword? Life before death. Strength before weakness. => You must defend yourself. Yes, but the issue with Lirin is not that he refuses to fight, but he thinks that there should be no soldiers. Fighting in general is wrong to him. That won't do. That is the point to the oath. You must do what you and your spren deem correct. Remember Wyndle. In the end, he fought.

I should reread myself. My apologies. Silence is afraid to uncover her hammer while it still wet with blood of man she had just killed. So I am afraid, blood is blood. One other thing: They have a gelding in their stables. I cannot help myself. These people have a death wish or their culture precludes them from certain adaptations to their environment.

I will put it bluntly. Pacifism and the First Oath are irreconcilable. Yes, the KR have a place for noncombatants and even those who do not like to fight, look at Wyndle, but that is not the same as refusing combat altogether. At the end of the day, when all other options are exhausted, a Knight Radiant must be ready to fight and kill for his duties.

Can a vessel bind a future vessel? (Scadrial) If he just dumps the shard, he will attract people who will want to pick it up. And the idea of somebody wanting to become Odium is terrifying. Splintering the shard in a remote uninhabitated place looks like the safest option to me.

Brandon said that there are two incompatible plot lines. And he finds no way to join them. I would suggest a more radical remedy. Give up the attempt and make it two separate books. The first really would make a YA novella. The second one would e a solid war novella. The plots of TFE and the later two books in Mistborn are thematically very different, too.

Siri & Vivenna even more. The country girls going into the big city. A very close copy. The young female protagonist going onto a journey to discover power looks like a repeated trope.

That would mean that the perpendicularity of Patji predates the Shattering. In fact it means that the island of Patji needs to be old in geological terms. Well, no. Animals gather at night under the roosting trees of wild aviars to have their thoughts hidden. Hence these Aviars are effective without a bond. And Sak being a mainland bird cannot have evolved her ability. Yes, but we know what powers lifesense: Breath, that ultimately comes from Endowment So, do the Aviars or their worms pick up something like Breath at the Eye or is there a kind of "ambient Investiture" they operate on? Or are they like metals and open a channel? (Rosharan System)

Technologies are useful in other areas than those they were primarily developed for. Hence, for example, the techniques developed for the chemistry needed in medicine have been used in creating paints and plastics and analytical techniques in areas as diverse as archeology.

But not to butcher an animal. So are you saying that shedding blood applies only to living organisms?

Upon a reread that stuck me in my eye, virtually speaking. How and whence? I would have assumed people on Threnody being mostly vegetarian, just for reasons of safety. Eating animals may happen in larger settlements. Silence serving meat is odd enough. But venison? Would they really keep deer? That seems like an unthinkable luxury under the circumstances. So do they hunt? That, frankly, looks like outright suicide. I suppose in theory you could use a gun or crossbow and a lot of silver, but that would make venison a luxury good, not something you serve in a simple waystop. How is this possible?
