In a few years they will have considerable training in at least practical aspects. Possible. This will make training inefficient as there are no or limited teachers. Good luck exploiting it. I kind of think the humility and the increased awareness might be a good thing. He is still alive and his brother seems to be dissatisfied with the idea of monarchs. His surrender was under duress. He also has an heir Teorn. So he can "abdicate" in his favor if necessary. I think that is an excellent idea. Elantris exists now so trade is less necessary. They will probably form one or at least develop some aonic weapons. "Squeals!" Sareene can do a lot of the daily governance. Good luck killing a well trained Elantrain.

Vey at the start of his tenure as Lord Merchant found out about a private account the Lord Mastrel keeps with his office. Should this ever become public Vey would have to pay the debt in full. The debt is too large for Vey to ever pay it. Given the way the Lord Merchant is chosen this would also mean that he looses his position. However their is a solution. If he pays 2000 lark to the Sand Masters every month they keep the account private. Because they are depositing the money in the account Vey is not loosing any money. However lets look at things from Vey's perspective. Each month he is "willingly" loosing 2000 as a "gift." He is simultaneously regaining that money in the account but it is no longer his money he just has custody of it. So in practice his debt to the Deim is increasing by 2000 each month.

You don't have to apologizes. It was advice not a recrimination.

Why are particles with mass attracted to each other? Or if you must. Why is space limited and why does it curve when an object with mass rests in it?

We don't know. Also this should be on the coppermind.

Nightblood is often creating black smoke weather sheathed or not. Which we do not have.

Yes.

Illumination. Lightweaving is a lightweaver thing. According to Ivory Truthwatchers see the present not the future. How is this clear? Culitvationspren are closer to Cultivation by name and by position on the chart. I see no reason why they would be more important for whatever reason. Yes we do. Stormfather says so.

Re-Shephir is complicated but she may well be powerful enough to hold Nightblood for minutes or even hours. Her sister Unmade Ba-Ado-Mishram managed to keep the Parshe in voidform all by herself. Assuming a similar magnitude of investiture I would postulate that minutes or hours are likely. For Re-Shephir to be useful she would have to have some capacity to realize threats to herself and obey basic instructions from Odium. Also we have no way of knowing if Nightblood can even tempt spren. Unmade investiture is also identity locked. Nightblood has trouble with that. Also if it worked that way there would be no cost to using Nightblood provided you killed people quickly enough as you could fuel him on there investiture. Destroying investiture is impossible. No it will probably go back to the shard that made it(in this case Odium). Nightblood only "feeds" on the person holding him. He destroys whatever he is stuck in.

They don't need to eat. This has been established quite firmly.

Raises eyebrows. So none of those people could possibly be good in your eyes?

The Unmade is going to have to hold Nightblood if you want to fuel it that way. Nightblood can't drain just anything. Re-Shephire understands violence enough to pick up and use a weapon. She has clearly witnessed sword murders before. Maybe. You would probably die even if successful.

Welcome

I recently had a thought. If I were holding Odium then Odium would probably become Disgust. What about the rest of you. Assuming enough connection. What would each shard be for you?

He still needs a power source just like everything else in the universe. Two points. 1. Pretty sure Nightblood was sheathed at the time. 2. Floors are not particularly strong. They can be gouged fairly easily by mundane means. Yes. Also In the mean time you would have an Unmade holding Nightblood. Glorysinger did something similar during twilight falls with her thousands of breath. The war ended and Vasher was so horrified he killed her,

Nightblood lacks a definition of good. Sorry.

You need to keep him drawn long enough for him to drain the unmade. I don't think he can work if he has no power source.

But we are not getting any information on the people themselves. Those people are also drawn at random. We also can't really tell you much about them.

Jasnah did not know this. Also how is it relevant?

Miss typed. Yes. I would think so. It would reduce the number of farmers required to avoid famine. Less farmers of grains and more of fruits and vegetables as well as livestock. An influx into urban areas which will lower labor costs and help with modernization. Why? Have elantris as a hole charge the treasury for the survives they provide. Negotiate annually and distribute that money to the individual elantrains so that they can pay for things. Why bother with taxation? No one has any income. Also praise and give status to healers.

Agreed. Still hate him though.

Dalinar certainly had plenty of fault. This does not absolve Tanalan. I fee bad for everyone else but I think he got what he deserved.

coppermind Most of the people who want food at any given time are likely not in Elantris. Even if they are not actually curing cancer Elantrains can do things other people can't. Aonic research, scrying, weird artforms. Paying a mortal for food sounds smarter. Sure weird foody Elantrains probably exist but their hobbies are probably not everything they do with their time. Given the time and opportunity I have a hard time believing most people would not choose to cure caner. It is not like there is any rush. Sure.

Dalinar is currently choosing to do good. I can't really see why you are objecting to this. Shrugs. Then it does not matter what he does or does not do currently. He is beyond redemption anyway so it would not matter weather he caved to Odium or not (from a moral perspective). I do not understand this at all. Sure we worried Dalinar killed a 6 year old. He did not. We were glad. Annnd? How does the fact that he previously was not an infanticide mean that he is now not currently redeemed. Oathbringer is not intended as a confession. He strait up says it is a warning and a lesson. I was the monster I fear we all can be. Dalinar is trying to educate people so that the Rift does not happen again. In a way he is preventing something equivalent to the Rift. That is depressing. I also don't see what purpose it serves. Sure Dalinar's actions were pretty evil but I don't see why making the experience worse is a good thing. I can and do blame Tanalan. Once Dalinar survived I was hoping that he would get his in a verry bad way. The fact that Dalinar is a civilian is immaterial. Some actions in warfare are unjustifiable. Tanalan endangered his own people via rebelling. He did not have to do so Gavilar offered him several deals. He then refused a duel which would have settled things personally. He then was offered several deals by Dalinar which he refused. He then took advantage of the fact that the enemy general wanted to help him to set up and betray him. This means that he is violating his word on several accounts. He is betraying Dalinar personally. He kills several battalions of people whose lives were entrusted to his honor and then he has the audacity to try and fight after he knows his plan has failed and has been warned that he can't win. Even in our world his actions prior to Dalinar burning down the Rift would have earned him and his severe punishment. I am prepared to take Dalinar's side in this. R = rift survivor D=Dalinar J=Jasnah R: in order D: Kind of in the middle of something. The world is ending. You sure this can't wait. R: You have confessed and deserve execution. D: If I am not around to stop this we all die so maybe no? R: But you deserve it! J: Define deserve. Dalinar is under no legal obligation. If you are referring to moral obligation that is a matter of some debate and as most of humanity is not suicidal I think it best that Dalinar sticks around. Besides. What possible good will Dalinar's death do? His most horrible crime is in the past and cannot be resolved. Dalinar chose to learn from his mistakes as apposed to refusing to look at them. This makes him a hero. A war criminal who fully understands the costs of his actions and has resolved to do everything he can to stop anyone from ever doing so again. Try watching Violet Evergarden. Reformed killers can make extremely compelling protagonists. If this does not appeal to you that is fine. You do you. We have tangible connections to Sadeas and yet I still don't care about his brutal murder. I'm with Shallan. Of course we can. When punishment serves as a deterrent to further wrongdoing it serves a purpose. Currently Dalinar would not commit such an action and he is doing his best to stop it happening in the future. Not really. I would think that the RIft survivor was being stupid. Clearly no one is going to kill Dalinar. Demanding it happen is ridiculous. Was Amaram currently and visibly saving the world? I would like to remind you that Kaladin's justification was that killing Amaram was that he could not be trusted not to betray his own again. Also Kaladin did not do so because he concluded it would be wrong.

Taravangian, Fen, Ialia, and Noura have a been floated as possibilities for one of the other two godspren.
