  1. Hey guys. I keep seeing my posts getting a star next to them instead of a dot. At first I thought it was just to show which were mine, but I noticed other people have stars next to theirs too. So I was just wondering what that meant. Thanks!
  2. "You must know better than to approach us by relying upon presumption of past relationship. You have spoken to one who cannot respond. We, instead, will take your communication to us – though we know not how you located us upon this world." to me this implies that the letter was meant for someone but another took it instead.
  3. I have a pretty weird but totally plausible (at least with my knowledge) theory about Aimia and Akinah. Here goes: I think that Autonomy has an avatar there. My first clue towards this is the Sleepless. They are a hive-minded group that literally break pieces of themselves off and send them to do certain things. This sounds JUST like Autonomy. My second clue is more obvious - Autonomy has a vested interest in Odium and Odium's mission. Autonomy, in her letter to Hoid, writes that she "admire(s) his initiative." Odium being trapped would give Autonomy interest in Roshar, a reason to be there. My third clue toward this theory is also located within her letter to Hoid. For full context, here's the letter: "Cephandrius, bearer of the First Gem, You must know better than to approach us by relying upon presumption of past relationship. You have spoken to one who cannot respond. We, instead, will take your communication to us – though we know not how you located us upon this world. We are indeed intrigued, for we thought it well hidden. Insignificant among our many realms. As the waves of the sea must continue to surge, so must our will continue resolute. Alone. Did you expect anything else from us? We need not suffer the interference of another. Rayse is contained, and we care not for his prison. Indeed, we admire his initiative. Perhaps if you had approached the correct one of us with your plea, it would have found favorable audience. But we stand in the sea, pleased with our domains. Leave us alone. We also instruct that you should not return to Obrodai. We have claimed that world, and a new avatar of our being is beginning to manifest there. She is young yet, and--as a precaution--she has been instilled with an intense and overpowering dislike of you. This is all we will say at this time. If you wish more, seek these waters in person and overcome the tests we have created. Only in this will you earn our respect." Note the first paragraph. She claims that Hoid targeted an avatar who "cannot respond." This reminds me of the Kaza interlude in Oathbringer where the Sleepless cook says, "I cannot speak, even to sate a dying command. There are those who could pull secrets from your soul, and the cost would be the end of worlds." Now lets look at the second paragraph. She speaks of being in the sea, which would make sense since Akinah is an island. She also speaks of a series of challenges that she has designed to presumably keep people out. This matches up well with Akinah; There is a storm that has sank many ships trying to approach, there are soulcast structures surrounding the island that not even a dinghy could get through, and there are also caverns underneath the city, possibly maze-like in structure. Who knows what other challenges there are. We know that the letter mentions Obrodai, but is not sent from there because the writer refers to it as "that world" but refers to their location as "these waters." It should also be noted that Hoid intended for the letter to go somewhere else, but the current author intercepted it. If Hoid wrote the letter from Roshar, which I am almost positive that he did, then it would make sense that it also got intercepted on or near Roshar. Anyways, tell me what you think. Is there anything else that supports this? Anything that directly contradicts it? I am really interested in the feedback this gets because it makes a ton of sense to me.
  4. Kaza from the OB Interludes because I need to know what she knew!!!!!
  5. Granted! But you now have lost all of your senses. Sight, smell, touch, taste, and hearing no longer work for you. I wish for the ability to read the minds of people, regardless of where they are in proximity of me.
  6. Ok that clears that up for me. But now I have a new question. If all investiture in the Cosmere belongs to a Shard, how do spirit webs factor in? Because souls or spirits in the Cosmere are pure Investiture.
  7. Awesome. Also apparently I was wrong about Szeth in the first place. Basically the wiki was giving an example of what the Fourth Ideal would sound like coming from Szeth, not referencing him actually saying it.
  8. Guys and gals... ignore this. I am a moron and forgot that wikis can be updated by anyone and not a specific crew. Anyone know if it is possible to delete a topic? I am still brand new here.
  9. Welcome! My first day was yesterday. Hope you enjoy your future reads. Still a ways to go but its a great journey. Sooooo I would recommend reading Hero of Ages soonish because of Mistborn era 2 and the novella that seperates them (which is canonically right after/during age 1, but should probably be read after book 6). Just my 2 cents though.
  10. On the Skybreakers page, under "Known Skybreakers," it says that Szeth is of the Third Ideal, but he's actually of the Fourth Ideal (Oathbringer ch. 121).
  11. Granted!!! But now you have an abnormal fear that the robots are all out to get you. I wish I could have better internet.
  12. Granted. You will now always smell like the inside of a dumpster. I wish for the ability to will away any sickness or ailments.
  13. I was on the Coppermind reading about the Heralds and came across the page for the Skybreakers. On the page, it says that the Fifth Ideal of the Skybreakers is to "become the personification of judgement and justice." This was cool because just yesterday I commented on Reddit about how Judgement would be a cool name for the combination of Odium and Honor. This makes me really curious: has a Skybreaker ever, in the whole history of Roshar, sworn the Fifth Ideal? Maybe their Fifth Ideal is to vow to take the Shards and combine Odium and Honor.
  14. It is really going to be 50/50. The Bridge Four crew continues to be important in the series and more get named. Some minor ones die occasionally. Bridge Thirteen is where I am watching for interesting characters. So while the guy you are reading about could be important, he also equally couldn't be.
  15. This makes a bit more sense to me now. I noticed the Brandon stressed that Elantrian and Scadrian magics were both similar and thought it was somehow relevant beyond just standard mechanics. Thank you!
