Wow, that would actually be amazing but not impossible, as most english alphabet letters are transcriptable. And you should try it anyway! I do have a horrible, like, terrorific handwritting in our real writing system, but that didn't stop me from learning these nice symbols hahahah Oh, btw I just realised I misspelled "Words of Radiance" and wrote "Wors of Radiance" instead

I actually don't know if this counts as fanart or something, but here are some attempts at the women's script from the vorin nations. Of course it's just transcripted English, but I thought this would be cool. Also, thanks to @Harakeke for the amazing work at deciphering this beautiful script. Has anyone else been practising this writing system and found anything that looks cool? or IDK, just give feedback and share something related if you want!

I don't know what your relationship with art is, but some cryptic spren painting on the wall's would be cool. Also, some humming as white noise could make them more realistic. Hmmmm, yeah, that would do. Although having a "no mating!" voice message being played every time you enter the room with someone would seal the deal for me. Hahahaha, now, seriously, you'd want to have some storm shutters on your window just in case!

Hahahaha, yeah @PhoenixWaffle and @Todesengel, those are some of the best. I can't wait to replicate this thread with Lightsong's knowledge on the Warbreaker topic. Unless someone has already made it.

Hi, and be welcomed into the Shard!!! It's good that you waited until having read a few books, so you hopefully won't get any spoilers. Tell us, which Brandon books have you already read?

Ok, spoilers for Defending Elysium and Skyward ahead, but I really need to know why no one is addressing this:

Well @teaspoon, that's a normal reaction to this whole metallic flavored baked goods thing. But as you would expect, cookie pretty much means what it would in any other context (unless you are British, then we mean biscuits)

Those are amazing hahahaha, I think the first one is from Alloy of Law, but the second one I'm not sure. Here are two more:

Hi and welcome. If you enjoyed the SA then you will most likely have a feast with the Mistborn books, check them out if you want more Sanderson in your life. Would you like to tell us which order of the knights radiant you feel like you'd be in? (Oh, and a friendly piece of advice, don't accept cookies from strangers in these forums, as those often come flavours yet unknown to you)

Oh, those are nice. Another one that really got me was

So, 17th shard, I've been here for a while and these forums seem to have everything Brandon related. Lots of theories, a library of WoB, amazing artwork, Role playing degenerated into a baking goods war... But there is something that deserves a place, a special place, and if there isn't one yet this is my convocation for it's creation. We need to collect those amazingly bright pieces of wisdom that Wayne is always spitting around and bring them together. So first, I'll start with this particular saying of his that has given me great insight into the true meaning of life:

Nice theory you got there, but I think this WoB you based it on may be no more than an error he committed. In any case, it's worth thinking about it. And if I remember it correctly, in WoK prime, the powers of the different radiant orders were much more like "elemental" ones, so the windrunners would be literally controlling wind, the skybreakera would control lightning and so on. So there is a chance Brandon still wanted some of that to get into Roshar, so I'll admit it looks like we could get some of it, but in a more "smart original way of using the surges we already know", instead of just changing the rules at higher oaths. I haven't read Oathbringer yet, so I'll most likely stay away from this topic before it gets to spoily haha haha, but hope more people give their opinions on this

Well, in the end it's kind of sad that this never got replied... Maybe he/she didn't exist after all. To bad you were summoned needlessly, but I appreciate the effort you put there...

Hi, and I can't say anything without first stating that: wow, that's a nice and big piece of Sel theory you got there. I'd advice you to make shorter posts next time, developing trough the different parts of your analysis as people interact with your original, introductory post; instead of sharing this big chunk of texts that almost scared me away. But I'll admit now, it was worth it. I'd agree that, for Sel's civilisation to go sci-fi level they'll most likely have to deal with all issues concerning geographical blocking of their magic, and now that you mention it, a unified language might be the solution. But as Brandon said, it will most likely have something to do with the mooncepter and the Dor, maybe a reconstruction of the shards eventually? Who knows? (Although I haven't read secret history yet, but I kind of understand that there are a group of selish worldhopers) But getting to the point: yeah, I'd say there is a hierarchical relationship between the languages, the geography and the magic. Because of how the AON RAO is broken and fixed trough the Elantris plot, I might even suspect that the order of events is: Dor imbued investiture in the geography, which created the magic system, in which some tongues based their grammar and writing systems. I mean, there is nothing in the AON RAO that implies the sound "rao", the meaning was taken from what the symbol did, but it's pronunciation came from a preexisting spoken language that maybe lacked a writing system, adopting these instead. Therefore, creating a unifying language might not affect in any way the magic systems, just as people missprounouncing AON RII until it starts sounding as REI wouldn't change its effects nor symbol. (THESE IS JUST ESPECULATION BASED ON WHAT WE KNOW. NOT THAT ANYONE IS EVER SAID TO HAVE MISPRONOUNCED AON RII) But those are just my thought on the subject, hope more people get to this topic!

Well hi, and welcome to the shard. Appart from cremposting, what other activities are you interested in? Hahahaha Nah, now seriously, would you like to tell us which Sanderson books you've read?
