    BoM ending

    If you are referencing his rohsaren exploits he flat out says he has his own agenda.
  2. Remember he needed to fake Reod?
  3. A lot of this is based on Kaladin's own experiences though. Lirin had a great effect on Kaladin. Kaladin is going to have to decide which parts of his father's teachings to respect and which to do away with.
  4. First off WoBs are not fully cannon they are just what Brandon thinks off the cuff when you ask him a question. Secondly it can still be true. For most of Roshar's history only Honor and Cultivation(remember Odium showed up fairly early).
  5. @KandraAllomancer Please add your theory to my hall(can't believe I did not ask earlier).
  6. The simple rules are however based on Jewish sabbath rules and the planet also has more involved their(Brandon's threnody WoBs).
  7. That power would not be keyed the feruchemist's identity. Also the power itself is entropy. So tapping it would disintegrate you.
  8. OK lets do this. I can think of a number ways this latest preview can work out. They are tied to the 7 ways this sequence could have happened. The fused know. 1. The fused have fully uncovered Kaladin's mission. Either through a mole, future sight, or simply knowledge of Kaladin+enemy movements. In this scenario assuming a competent military commander Kaladin is being played. He will shortly find himself surrounded by a much greater number of fused. Alternatively Odium is trying to give Kaladin life experiences that will make it harder for him to swear the next ideals or possibly even break his current oaths so instead what we will get is a large scale civilian causality or something similar. 2. The fused have some idea that Kaladin is in the area(they had a sighting maybe) and because they are unsure of his mission are actually just reacting to his movements. In this case Kaladin is probably making the right move. If he can kill the fused and evacuate his people he wins, He might have been able to avoid fighting but the result would have meant being trapped in an area that is coming under heavy scrutiny. The fused are catching on. 3. The fused know about Kaladin but one of them slipped up and got spotted by him. In this case Kaladin is at something of a disadvantage but he might have enough time to put together a decent counter plan(if so I hope there are more steps to it then what he has so far). 4. Kaladin and the fused both know about each other and both know they know about each other (they both saw each other while flying in a clear sky for example). In this case neither the fused nor Kaladin actually knows anything about the other's mission directly but are both working hard to stay ahead of each other. In this case Kaladin is almost certainly at a disadvantage as the fused have more resources in the area(unless Kaladin brought a lot more people then I find believable). 5. Kaladin spotted one of the fused spying on him but did not react. He spent the rest of his time coming up with countermeasures. I hope he brought some backup. Kaladin is playing the fused 6. Kaladin for whatever reason wants to kill this fused and is luring it into an ambush or expects to be ambushed himself here. I personally doubt this one as it is too close to civilians and others Kaladin cares about. Also why this particular fused? None of the above. 7. Kaladin is well aware of what the fused are doing and was just trying to avoid them while completing his mission. He failed.
  9. I am not sure this is possible.
  10. We don't know how long it would take him to get there, if Shallan is doing something more important or if the fused do not have any way of detecting them. Also we don't know the mission parameters. Perhaps Kaladin intends to fight this fused in a controlled setting for some reason? Maybe they have a spanread that they can use stashed somewhere outside town or maybe they have a spot to leave written messages that Kaladin knows to check. This is not a big problem.
  11. If this is true we could do a lot with hearing aids and other prosthetics. For example do retainers become unnecessary?
  12. Gasp! He said a bad word. We might actually need two for him. Something ominous for the introduction and then something latter after his character growth.
  13. I hate to do this but I must point out that it is technically possible that this is just a mistake that will get cleaned up by Karen. However the eye color does suggest truthwatcher. This leads me to a bit of a problem. Truthwatchers are all about helping people. This does not seem to be his thing. He is a leader, a warrior, a insurrectionist, and an escape artist. However he does not spend time directly helping individual people the way most truthwatchers do(like our favorite voidbinder, that shoemaker, or the stump). Perhaps he really is an edgedancer but Brandon made a mistake. Perhaps he got a blade somehow(we know one is in herdaz and I doubt that the royal family wanted it falling into fused hands).
  14. He might get another for example an interlude. However unless he gets some Radiant levels I don't think he could or would do much. Also not everyone has all of the groups strait. You might want to explain what each group is.
  15. I also think they are working form different perspectives. Hoid is more episteme and Khriss is more techne.
  16. I got great enjoyment out of reading SA first then Mistborn then Elantris and Warbreaker. I finished with arcanum unbound and then White Sand. I personally enjoyed that reading order even if it makes no sense organization wise. You can get payoffs both by thinking "ohhhhh so that's what that was" and by "aha I know what that is!" I personally prefer the former others prefer the latter. Perhaps you should make two lists with these different principals in mind.
  17. Well that made a difference!
  18. So far just putting it after Warbreaker is all that is really necessary.
  19. How about "The Culinary Royal?" Also we need a BA song for Hrathen .
  20. If Hoid can we have yet to see him do so but if anyone knows how it would likely be him.
  21. Agreed. Also agreed. I also think you should keep SA together mostly. It is the most complex and they may loose track of some characters. Finally I have to stress this. The maximum enjoyment is going to depend on the reader. You should have more then one reading list and be prepared to make changes as you go depending on who likes what and for what reasons.
