  1. The highstrom is at least 3 times as strong as the strongest hurricane according to our reread friends at torr.
  2. They tried to infuse the massive gemstone.
  3. My only point is that an uninvested storm could probably cross just as easily.
  4. Assuming that part of your theory is correct then yes.
  5. Sure but even the Shin experience rain. It is just that the winds at ground level are not noticeable.
  6. I always took it to be an indication of how Honor was masculine Cultivation was feminine and the sibling as a combination was neither which is indicated by a gender neutral pronoun. They also bond one bondsmith. This could be a single plural entity like a hive mind I suppose. This doesn't work. Sorry. Renarin tried to push Stromlight into it and Navani tried to infuse it. Neither worked. However the concept of the oathgates as a single plural entity that connect to the sibling does make sense. We know that the sibiling and the tower started functioning less around the time the Radiants left. Perhaps it started slumbering more the more Oathgates were closed.
  7. That is possible.
  8. Does it? The highstorm is stronger then any earth storm. It also exists in some really weird conditions due to the general weirdness of roshar.
  9. It happens. Probably not. A contest of champions works because Odium has to keep his word. Odium will wager on a champion because he is immortal and even if this one doesn't go as he wants he can stick around for another try latter. Having a champion won't weaken Odium. It will just force him to comply with the other half of the bargain. You can edit previous posts. Double posting is a no no. If a Radiant dies their spren is traumatized and lacks a physical realm anchor so they will probably head back cognitive if they can. He was dying. He is not. He is just a Skybreaker who views things differently then the older establishment. Dalinar is actually currently appointed as Odium's champion. He holds the largest remnant of Honor's power because of his bond with the stormfather. Yes. Dalinar has access to more investiture then a previous stormfather bond because Honor lest what was left of his power to the stormfather. He can't. Not without Dalinar's permission anyway. The two of them made a deal. Odium has to stick by it. I seriously doubt that Odium will ever allow anyone to hold enough of his power to open a perpendicularity. To answer your question though I don't really think so or at least not noticeably. Mistborn spoilers.
  10. Welcome!
  11. RAFO has a good vidio on sel. I have it below with a WoB.
  12. They did. Also don't double post. We don't really know what it was like before Odium was there. However calling it damnation is really a cultural thing on Roshar. No one really goes their when they die(except the Heralds).
  13. Odium is currently trapped on Braize by the combined powers of Honor and Cultivation. He can't strike at the stormfather because doing so would leave him open to an attack by Cultivation. Shards also don't really go anywhere physically. It is more that they choose to focus on one thing or another or they can have their focus contained.
  14. He still hears the voices.
  15. Being a champion does not give you the capacity to open a perpendicularity. Odium is literally everywhere. He can take physical presence if he so chooses and it might be possible to kill the vessel if that happens with the right weapon but Hoid can't hurt anyone himself.
  16. We have not seen all of them. So in order GB almost certainly not(Worldhoppers). Diagram involved but not lead by(Founded by T). Sons of Honor is a probably not(Gavilar seems to be acting as a middleman and that is unnecessary if he there are Heralds on both sides) Envisagers we don't know much about. Could be Vedel I suppose. Self harm to make you stronger would fit in well with her insanity but we really don't know enough to judge. 17th no(Worldhoppers). Sleepless no(immortal so no real need for Heralds)
  17. Burning aluminum probably makes burning atium impossible unless you are burning so much that you just overwhelm the aluminum. If you are asking if you can avoid being seen by burning aluminum while using atium then I think yes.
  18. I think he sees it more as a sport. A highly competitive and important environment and one where you.really want to win but don't care overtly about methodology or costs. Things like always having a clean uniform are a good tool for maintaining discipline and making sure that less essential tasks are taken seriously. Sadeas is getting immediate results but the quality of his men is seriously deteriorating. Their soldiers are decent blunt objects but under prolonged bad conditions they would suck. During a siege like environment they would eventually loose cohesion, present discipline problems and start making simple mistakes. Their officer command must also be terrible especially at the lower levels. As of when and how are you counting? Dalinar's troops are after all the ones who actually destroyed the parshendi. Also without Dalinar's presence keeping security and administration working at the warcamps Sadeas would not have been successful. Negative not positive solidarity. They are angry because they identify with Sadeas and see an attack on him as an attack on them. Collectively being angry at something is way easier then being willing to work together to accomplish a goal.
  19. Done. "You look good enough to eat." Bit of a weird conversation.
  20. Trying to figure out what rays they absorb?
  21. Well she does predate surgebinding. It also seems odd that she is considered the stormfather's counterpart and equal in a lot of ways but is not of a similar "age."
  22. Give me a dare(less then life threatening is all I ask).
  23. Kind of a stretch. That hasn't been edited for continuity if I understand the process correctly. It could also just be that Cultivation made some kind of alteration down the road with an preexisting spren.
  24. As a film infinity war is better. As a marvel movie endgame is better. It is fine. Definitely not good or bad. The only show I can honestly say is good is probably runaways which was excellent if limited.
  25. So my take on this is yes in theory. In fact era four might have some kind of chromium based death ray. That being said I do not think even a savant is going to completely kill you. They might however do something else. The way I see things an average human soul in the cosmere has a balance between different investitures in a mostly "regular shape." People with "cracks" or an "imbalance" have a less regular shape that allows for mental illness, magic, and sapience. I think a savant might be able to "polish" these out. Basically you would be left with people who did not have any of the three. So maybe a chromium savant just "lobotomies" people?
