Minutes to hours. The sheer mechanical force of thousands of kilometers of rock would suddenly find an outlet and part of the planetary core would be without the pressure that keeps it solid. If you really could cut a terrestial planet cleanly through the result would be spectacular and fatal.

Spren do not behave the way he was talking about in general. Some are drawn by absolutely physical things like wind, rain or fire.

Silver salts are poisonous to anything alive on our Earth (Humans can stand comparatively much silver. That's the reason silver cutlery is hygenic and possible.) Your food is somewhat salty. It has to be on average, or you will die from ionic imbalance. The chloride in that would combine with the silver to an insoluble sludge. The insides of your mouth and your hands and any body part you wash with water contaminated with silver salts would be covered with a practically unremovable film of black, finely dispersed metallic silver. They would still need ordinary salt to preserve stuff and for seasoning. On Threnody it takes metallic silver. So I am afraid on the whole there are a lot of reasons that their salt is just sodium chloride and The Rock's rock is soft chert or a black mudstone. The salt cannot be on the surface. It would remove the need for mines and would wash away in the rain. They are just too inconsiderate and stingy to remove the last traces of a material that will get into their food from the environment anyway.

Theoretically true, yet that scenario has problem of its own. How do you explain that neither Nazriloff nor Khrissalla know what the Evil is? That very much suggests that the arrival and the rise of the Evil occured together, quickly and suddenly.

You better ask something like: What method of Initiation is used on Painter's planet?

When Hoid built Design a body, did he use Invested Arts other than Lightweaving? Could somebody from outside the system like Shallan work as a Nightmare Painter?

What makes you think that they are all dead?

It takes a lot of Investiture to become a CS. The weaker ones also need a body. But to stay one, there is no evidence of a need to refuel for. The Fused survive running out of Voidlight just fine. They just lose their power. It seems that Vasher needs his Stormlight because technically he is a zombie. Hemalurgy is end negative. It is powered by the soul of the sacrificed victim. Ruin created it. He does not power it. The Investiture inside the spike even retains its Identity. That is shown by the WoBs on the ability to use the metalminds of your victim. After and due to, but not while or when. Kaladin's eyes stay light for hours after dismissing the Sylblade.

Possibly Sja could be from the Egyptian godess Sia.

Eaten alive by Koloss?

Well, if that were the only thing his Divine Breath is doing, he would be a rotting corpse. Because he is using Preservation's static (and kinetic) Investiture. It did not originate in his own spirit web, but it is the real thing.

Yet neither does Vasher have red eyes, although he is using Stormlight to fuel his Divine Breath. But the Fused and Regals always have red eyes, even while they are not Surgebinding respectively using their regal powers. The more useful definition would aim at the source of the static Investiture that gives one access to the Invested art.

I'd say that Stan Lee has been done. While Brandon is taking his inspiration from him, it would be unfair to both of them to just imitate Stan Lee. If Brandon wants to die spectacularly, let him.

He is using his native system. He is bonded to a semi-Voidspren. Hence he can Voidbind without redness. To Glys that is not native. Hence red. There is no evidence that the fuel actually matters.

Glys has been modified. True Voidspren like Ulim are not red. All the problems go away if you take Renarin for a Voidbinder and a Surgebinder.

You know as well as we all that Hoid, if this were intentional, would have assumed an obscene or embarrassing posture before freezing up.

Highly debatable. That "black on white" thing could just as well mean that they descend from people who had printing presses. That would point to Scadrial. Not that I am advocating that. But I am saying that the examples are cherry-picked. What do you expect from people living on a peninsula? That is basically meaningless. Both Chinese and Japanese have writing styles that are horizontal and vertical. The usage is a stylistic choice. In fact some writing systems switch from line to line. (column to column seems not to be done) Again, you can read this stuff that way. But you do not need to. "sun at night" for example may refer to something nonsensical. In the Edda you find "made from the breath of a fish" to indicate the impossible. Yes Seals, whales, horses, ... Lumar would have at most solar tides (just as Roshar) depending on how fluid the spores are without a ship passing. It may have none. And yes, they live on the coast more suited to navigation on Roshar and have major trade cities. Just because the Thaylens are shown more you cannot conclude that nobody else is as naval as them in other regions. And, of course, lower gravity -> higher tides. A world wide ocean -> higher tides.

Yep. His head on a spear. Death by Koloss. Dismemberment is wholesome family fun. Or make him the source of her steelpushing. A soldier withered into a husk by Azure On Threnody have him accidentally create a spark, run away and be consumed and turned into a Shade in the intro as an introduction to the setting.

#3 is just very late a story. You really cannot get into conflict with anything happening earlier. We learn Hoid keeps the bond to Design Sel, Roshar and Scadrial are not destroyed The nations of Vedenar and Alethkar are not destroyed Hoid will suffer some Invested accident, malady or attack in the future None of these things are planet-shattering. Also the Invested Arts of the planet don't really matter, because they coud just be undiscovered. For anything before Stormlight Archive you need to ask, where are those people? Just like in case of Taldaine you need Autonomy to stifle technological development or at least exports. In TOTES you'll need an explanation why the aethers are not dominating the market. Why does Mraize use an aviar but not an aether, which he does know of and can get? That question needs to be answered.

Then where do they get their salt from? They cannot make it from the oceans. And it must be conventional salt. Silver chloride does not dissolve in water. There are silver salts that do, but those are poisonous. Sodium chloride must be poisonous to spores and they put high amounts into their sustenance.

He is at least not averse to it. Yet Renarin's eyes are not red. That needs to be explained.

Misery is sort of Anguish. If you look from the right angle. Is that answer pre-RoW? I would assume that Brandon wil keep a last cartridge in his magazine, just in case he really needs it.

It says so right in the text: Metal is special in the Cosmere. I would hazard a guess that they use brass to generate heat. Touching the hion in itself is unlikely to do that. They put them inside a restaurant without much safety restraints. Well, no. Breaths, if left more than a few seconds left outside a carrier, will evaporate. We saw that reported about people with a lot of Breaths dieing. Breath is special in its capacity to stay in people and stuff, but not otherwise.
