You can use LVM and add new partitions to your partition, but you need to set it up that way during installation.

We can assume that bad fish is cheap whence he came. It would explain his horrible attitude. He seems to be the type who does things on a budget. If you are being hunted, buying a place nobody can get at you secured by the laws of quantum mechanics will make sense He had mental reservations against the concept of unauthorized transfers of possessions He was on a guilt trip about his late wife's desire to own her own dimension

Mostly. But he could be taking to a Herald still on Ashyn. It would also rule out Frost, Kelsier and the Fused. It does not rule out Khrissalla or Baon, but then we are really looking at the earliest story. If we can also rule out the Fused before they were Fused, based on non-Rosharan knowledge, not so many remain.

Indeed I suppose he smelt something unpleasant, namely smoke, and associated with stuff he dislikes. I would guess that he was pursued and fired upon when he made the transfer to his owned dimension, hence the immolated plants. Either some kind of ray gun or a side effect of damaged equipment.

OK, let's go for the odd angles. How sure are we that the contemporary Irialians are the original inhabitants of the land? That is is the Silver Kingdom of Iri only a name? And when Hoid says Iriali is he using the Lumaran name? The textual clues point to a fairly terrestial environment and to somebody who knows Hoid under the name Hoid. That mainly rules out Roshar. No. He could be talking the Endowment. I am just saying this to cover all angles. I am sure Hoid knows that a Shard would know that oceans almost everywhere are water. Why the time difference between SA and Era 1? We should name that "the early hypothesis". We should name that "the late hypothesis". I also need to point out that the Hoid depicted on the Kickstarter is openly carrying what appears to be two vials of allomantic metals on his belt. That makes him later than Secret History. Ships in transit? Oathgates? How does that alter the timing issue? It would just tells us that Lunamar cannot be the 1st land. But the timeline is implausible enough with Lunamar being the 3rd land.

If you take that to its logical conclusions, you'll get some strange results. Like the distance between, for example, Nalthis and Roshar should increase, if Scadrial introduced astronomy into its mandatory curriculum. In fact do we even know paths in the CR are universal for everybody? As important as Intent is elsewhere that would surprise me. That is a subastral whose shape is constrained by the physical planet. What happens if you just dump your trash? In fact, people eat in the CR. That must have consequences. What happens to that? If you don't know its there will the next group of travellers encounter it?

Because the bullets are not pure aluminium, most likely. Alloy of Law has a scene with Waxillium doing chemistry and finding "eka-boron" in the metal. That most likely refers to scandium. It is hideously expensive even today, but it can be used in related applications. Scandium used in guns Now to answer this competently you need in gunsmith. The patent covers use of scandium/aluminium alloys in structural components.

You will have clans using a breeding program passing the torch to nephews. So if you do this, you breed yourself with a strong mage and then breed your child with another such child to produce a strong mage. You just skip a generation. And you introduce harems of muggles for your strong male mages to produce middle grade mages. A genetic trait always introduces a pressure for polygyny and cousin marriage because your family becomes more powerful by sheer number of descendants. This tendency will be checked by the limited number of strongly magical women, if you need two strong mages to produce strong offspring. You have just removed that constraint.

But when do you think more about an area than when you pass through it? In other words does the very act of travel deform the CR?

That is on a planet, not in interstellar space. Are we sure that the representation of interstellar space even exists while nobody is passing through? That people build railways in their subastral is probably inevitable.

That is much harder to say, as that question implies a question about what the aethers lack. So we can only look at potential benefits. Obviously sense organs hands communication channels If you look at it from a psychological angle companions, imagine having only 11 other people to talk to for millenia new views And speculatively pollinators Hoid is not really clear on what fills the oceans. He often calls them spores, but sometimes pollen. Pollen are not spores. Technically they are a generation in the life cycle that has been reduced to consisting only of a testicle. Yet now we know that there are multiple core aethers, so we must ask how they reproduce. Spren are in a certain way condensed human thoughts. Aethers are - at least they seem to think so - older than man, thereby truly alien. Hence I'd say that their relationship to humans is less close, In fact they may view humans like humans view aviars. We cannot expect them to fully understand people.

I assumed whoever killed Janet was actually gunning for him and is aiming to finish the job. Indeed.

They could if they knew how to get their spren out of the Rosharan system they knew how to get their fuel out of the Rosharan system Yet even then their number is limited (squires are no use) by the number of spren and training time. And we have no idea how much they can transport. And it is possible to find and stop transports in the CR.

How solid is the CR really on those distances without people watching?

And hey are bound to one entity, at least per world. What implications does that have for the relations among the aetherbound? I suppose, taking the most extreme example, it is impossible for you to kill somebody who is bound to the same entity. Nor can you most likely swindle them. So no poker games. Is that the reason Mraize cannot use Amberite? He couldn't keep confidentiality if he were to bond to it? Are they by virtue of their bonds members of an extended family?

Because Invention is in a place ordinary people cannot go to, or are there additional reasons?

We have no idea what salt does to an already sprouted aether. But not why it is guarded with only five soldiers. Everybody would have to know about that island. It has a ring of dead spores around it. Sailors dock there and go on to foreign isles. It would be a fortress, because it would be one of the most valuable places in the world. At the coasts. You'd make it by evaporation. Massively unhealthy. You could make a fortune selling medication against high blood pressure. I suppose strokes are the most common cause of death.

The spores weigh something, or blowing air from below would blow them away. And enough of them to replace their number must come down. In order to push the moon up they must come down with a lot more speed than gravity would give them. That means they have kinetic energy. That would go into the planetary atmosphere and crust at the lunagree. They'd all be blown into atoms at the Rock.

My apologies. But now that you mention it, I need to state it. There most likely are exactly such storms. A third of the sky as arc means that at the equinoctes on the equator the sun will be blocked for a third of the day. And the hottest part of the day around noon. We are talking about losing about half of the solar energy. There will be storms. The dihedral angle in an icosahedron is listed as 138.190°. I do not see a way for more than one eclipse per place and day. At 1/3 of the sky they are very, very close. Indeed

Very few places are. You cannot, as many people would probly do, place a vortex of the icosaeder on the poles and get these eclipses. And I see no way you can get more than three vortices on a great circle with an icosaeder.

If a moon is to fill a third of the arc, it will fill the space between the 60° angles at the lunagri. Hence if you are more than 30° + axial tilt away from the equator, no eclipses.

Note that this also kills the equatorial band of spore oceans theory of the water cycle and that solution to the fish problem. Indeed it means most of the world's oceans, if not all, must be spores. I would hope for these answers to be included in the Ars Arcanum.

Not in the Cognitive Realm Had to fit three new stars into the Cosmere I am afraid that rules out Silverlight, Kingmaker and Silence Divine. Most likely also Liar of Partinel. They must know where Yolen is. Does it also rule out Innovation's residence? Brandon has said things that could be interpreted as Innovation not residing on a planet. But they are fitting suns, not planets, into the model. Innovation could still be residing on a fleet of space ships in orbit around a sun.

You can bond the aethers. People who do so are called "aetherbound". What they can actually do is quite similar to what you can see in Aether of Night Hoid's telling of the Story is within a few years of the actual events that leaves three options There are multiple wandering groups of Iriali in the Cosmere and this tells us nothng at all about timing. Mean. The Iriali had left Roshar and subsequently have left Lumar. That means the story is set many centuries after Stormlight Archive. If Hoid is talking to a known character that leaves unspecific options. Frost, Khrissalla & Nazh, a Shard, any (future worldhopper), anybody from First of the Sun This is long before Stormlight Archive. That leaves only the people from White Sand and Elantris and, obviously, Frost and the Shards (Hoid having "tea" with Valour?) The core Aethers can reproduce The Sleepless and dragons don't count? In which way? Bound an aether or controlling a moon? Utterly unknown. White sand is commercially available by RoW. Aethers are known. Anybody could have experimented. Then we are in the "late chronology". Foil could be a good scientist and stay up to date on the literature. In that case Lumar could be the result of him experimenting with anti-Investiture. Also "late chronology" Or we are in the "early chronology". Then we may be reading the story of the first few aetherbound.

They produce solar eclipses. And not just as a visual thing. It gets colder. The sunlight is really blocked.
