I wish I could find my possible things that could be happening list This being said he could use additional labor to start farms close to the warcamps. There were multiple Alethi shardbearrers at Urithiru. Beyond that we don't know if any fused actually entered during the battle. Jasnah claimed that the city had protections against that sort of thing. Beyond that even shardbearers have trouble attacking in close confines without the ability to coordinate easily in the hallways of the tower city. Well it is his job to save lives and he lives in a wartorn country. Sorry that someone has ideals that are different then yours? In all seriousness I get you and am defiantly guilty of the same problem but that does not mean that Lirin deserves that kind of attitude. He stole from someone because he could not rely on an agreement being kept. As far as Lirin is concerned it was only theft in the legal sense of the word not the moral one. He saves the lives of people who need him and his wife supports his decision.

I think the Topaz did its thing prior to the existence of the Radiants.

Yes. Marsie says so. I do hope Kelsier makes a cameo to burn the trellium so that we can see what it does.

Each shard should have its own metal so that would give you another 14 godmetals plus 16 alloys of each metal(don't get me started on alloying different godmetals). Honestly I think burning any godmetal should give you access to that magic system for as long as burned. As such Honorium would let you surgebind for as long as burned. Trellium might give you sand mastery and so on. However what about atium. First Preservation did weird stuff to atium. Secondly no one has tried hemalurgy while burning. Perhaps it helps you hit bind points somehow?

Single dual intent is a vary ying yang concept. Complimentary opposed forces.

On the most nobble world of Scadrail the people of great Teris have the worldsingers. An organization dedicated to finding and preserving knowledge. Through our travels we are beginning to learn the most remarkable mysteries of gods and men. Perhaps one of these could save the cosmere. Perhaps some combination like the compounding that gave the sliver his power is the answer. We must bridge the various gaps in knowlege. We must save the cosmere with letters and learning!

Odium denies empathy. It is a certain kind of hatred. Adolin is Cultivation aliened he cares about everyone(Sadeas does not count).

It does not work like that. Only if one person looses everyone else is immune for an hour.

"You cannot have my pain!" All of the WoKs(in world book although...) "The world is better for its association with you(paraphrasing allowed?)"

No sorry. Khriss would have had to pass through that agency. As such she would know what it is and it would not have been considered anomalous.

He may well be a worldhopper. I always assumed he was. There is nothing directly in the book or on arcunum that gives any real information on him.

How did you do that?

As a mid range goal it might be useful. Long term I doubt he cares much.

He did not exactly have much in the way of a childhood.

He does not want to obtain Honor's investiture. That would corrupt his intent.

For just Roshar he wants to kill Cultivation, The Stormfather and obtain freedom from Honor's bonds.

Something is up with Taldain(they had intercontinental travel and then they did not and now they do again). Threndoy has gone through at least one disaster and I personally expect it has done more...

I usually enjoy the first book more so I liked Skyward. I also liked the more intense feel of it and the commentary on bravery.

A royal we is singular and refers to one person. However you are likely correct that "we" refers to our side. They can hold surges(anyone can) I have no idea when they did.

Yes

Many very hard core star wars fans find prequel based memes irritating for various reasons. There is a significant minority who agrees with you. I was expressing aggression at them.

Soulcasting requires gemstones. The Alethi army only has a limited number of them and they have to feed their own armies, refugees from the rest of Alethkar, and possibly Theylenah as well. Pretty sure that is not how it works. Odium chose Dalinar as his champion but they have not yet set the terms of the conflict as such the challenge is meaningless until Dalinar can confront Odium again. Odium's end goal is to be the only shard. Think of it like chess. The other pieces are only relevant in so far as they can help him kill shards. Other then that they are meaningless.

Trell might not exactly be the same thing as Autonomy. Her personas are very weird.

Sad thing is. I doubt they even tried. Giving supplies to Herdaz would have been a waste of effort especially considering the vast numbers of starving people in Theylenah, Azir and Natanatan.
