Their may be more effective ways for her to make money. (Like teaming up with Wayne for FTL travel?)
-
An interesting idea but I doubt that would work. The person has to internalize the hallucination to the point where it becomes part of themselves. I seriously doubt that anyone truly thinks of themselves as the person that they thought they were while drunk. A much better strategy would be some kind of pep talk or spiritual healing that makes people relies that their physical impairments are not permanent flaws.

Neutral ideas for what I want from the next book(s)
Karger replied to Sedside's topic in Stormlight Archive
Um or they could just protect Dalinar who will eventually have the power to destroy entire species? And why Jasnah? I will admit that she is amazing no question but what makes her so much more impressive then say Renarin who can see the future or Kaladin who can toss people into the sky by touching them? -

They are also not particularly effective soldiers (they can't kill anyone) -
Nightwatcher Boon/Bane (Game)

Granted, you now sit in your home by yourself unable to be bothered to do anything in a meaningless universe. I wish for the blessing of unparalleled mathematical abilities. -
Hey could anyone post/find me some instructions on protocol and conventions on this site. Is it acceptable to double post? What should I recognize as worthy of praise and what should I not? Any conventional ways to respond to someones comment of your work? The rulebook would be helpfull

Adolin did what was convenient at the time and what he felt emotionally obligated to do. His actions may or may not have been legal (I do agree that the Alethi legal code needs to be updated because it does not currently work for people at their level) but it takes Adolin a great deal of soul searching to come to terms with what he did and this decreases his effectiveness throughout Oathbringer. Additionally I am compelled to say (very reluctantly) that despite his many many many flaws Sadeas could have been useful. He was a skilled general and politician and he was an able administrator. These are qualities that it takes years to cultivate and cannot be easily replaced if Sadeas could have understand the gravity of the situation he might have helped save the world. Dalinar didn't exactly start as a great person (and yes I do recognise the differences between the two of them). What worries me most is that Adolin killed Sadeas out of anger as apposed to because he thought that it would help protect people. I do not think that killing someone because your blood is up can be justified to any reasonable person.

I sympathize but do not think I agree. Emotions may not be rational as has been noted many times above however that does not make the honorable or right. Yes what Sadeas did was terrible and yes many people would agree that you have the right to exact retribution. I must still say "Journey before destination" you can't do something wrong just to get something right. Yes Sadeas should be punished for his actions but the purpose of a punishment is so that others know the consequences of similar behavior it is not so that you can feel better because the person that angered you is now dead. Just because he should be punished does not give you the right to punish him.

That is not the same at all. First of all Moash tried to kill Elhokar during the time he was sworn to defend him. Second of all Elhokar tried multiple times to be a better person and a better king. He unbent his pride and asked for Kaladin's help and he swore himself to his uncle's cause despite his uncle owing fealty to him. While he was not a good king incompetence cannot be a flaw worthy of a death sentence. He also even before his radiant journey did learn his lesson about treating people like he treated Moash's grandparents as evidenced by the fact that Dalinar insistently knows what Kaladin is talking about when Kaladin mentions it. (It even has a name!) Moash also turns down Kaladin's suggestion that he legally take action against Roshone with Dalinar. Sadeas on the other hand was actively and maliciously trying to kill people for a personal vendetta and was a real and present danger to the entire planet. I think their might be a tiny difference between killing someone who might just cause the apocalypse and killing someone cause you happen to be angry about how incompetent that someone was several years ago.

1) That would be cool 2) I had the same thought 3) I hope so 4) Who knows 5) They have large bags and nets 6) Um, Shallan and Adolin just got married. 7) Their is also the fact that they still think that their father killed their mother 8) They are illusions so no he could not. They have no sentience beyond Shallan's directions (they are basically part of her). They also can die as we see in the final battle in Oathbringer. It would be far more effective to train Shallan herself. I am pretty sure that everyone knows that Shallan is a lightweaver. (Massive illusion army?) What I want to see 1) Urithiru power up scene! 2) Venli using the transport surge to avoid the eyes of the fused. 3) Rlian bonding an honorspen 4) A mass swearing of ideals. (Like 10 or 20 radiants at the same time) 5) Windrunners carrying a large army and or flying in formation. 6) I can't help myself Ash+Taln 7) Bonding the Nightwatcher 8) The horneater peaks -
1) Most people I have met believe that the Sibling resides in the gemstone at Urithiru but is currently asleep. 3) He seemed familiar with Ashertmarn (Heart of the Revel) but when he last encountered it is anyone's guess. 4) The text implies that that it is not someone who has actually seen the future but that "the past is the future" in other wolds this discussion is with an old wise man(or woman) not something magical. 5) The windblades seem to have been formed with cymatics as Kolinar is one of those cities which has a pattern that can be produced that way. I no one has discovered how to do this with Urithiru and I personally think that it was made by stonewards using the tension surge.

Yes, Chiri-Chiri does it in Oathbringer.

1. Then what happens if you Elsecall in the middle of space? 2. I though the same but in Oathbringer Jasnah says that the ground thinks of itself as one piece witch is why it is harder to soulcast then rubble 3. That is not cannon yet and he might just revert to standard worldhopping. We do get glimpses of it all the time in cosmere but no physical normal human has spent much time there. 4. I meant have we met the characters that are going to bond the Nightwatcher and the Sibling 5. True 7. Cognitive or spiritual realm maybe?
-
I do not know about plan-people or the existence or lack of plants and animals on Cosmere wolds but I would guess based on logic that plant people could exist (the sleepless are far odder). A desolate world could become inhabited by a space civilization (like from 6th of the dusk). I can also guess that herdazians have some spren bonding abilities based on some of the stuff we have seen Rock do which I will explain. 1. Rock is a Horneater therefore he has Singer blood. 2. Rock is extraordinarily strong we saw him lift an huge log and use a shardbow without any plate (Shardbows are so heavy that that should be impossible for an ordinary human). Rock can also see spen. 3. Its seems that Rock had some kind experience at the horneater peeks that gave him these abilities (from remarks he made to Kaladin in Words of Radiance). 4. Azure claims that Cultivation's perpendicularity was at the horneater peaks. 5. Singers change forms by going into a highstorm Honor's perpendicularity 6. From this it seems plausible that Rock entered the perpendicularity and bonded to some kind of spren that enhanced his strength this is further supported by Rock saying in Oathbringer that he has special gifts. This also implies that not all horneaters have them only some ability to bond spren (perhaps it runs in bloodlines and only a few have enough).

As I understand it when a herald is killed they return to Braize. Getting reborn does not however change a herald physically or emotionally except in so far as they are hurt by the pain of it. This would most likely imply that he would be forced onto Braize and would still be a drunken begger when he got there.
-
A better joke would be Q. What did the two armed Herdazian say to his captain?\ A. Need a hand?

I have a few questions of my own mostly about stormlight 1 Worldhopping. How does worldhopping work? Yes you go to the cognitive realm but then what? What does the vacuum of space look like in Shadesmar? (How do you think about nothing?) 2 Shadesmar is weird. Why is the sky backwards in Shadesmar with the sun a hole and the sky providing light? (I don't think of the sun as a hole in the sky) Why is the ground a bunch of things but the ocean solid? Why do shadows point to the sun? What provides oxygen? Why no wind? Finally how does one kill or defeat a spren in shadesmar. (Ivory says Honorspren war and we do see several weapons) 3 Spiritual realm. Do you have any plans to set a story in the spiritual realm? Can physical beings go through the spiritual realm? 4 The other two Bondsmiths. Have we met the other two bondsmiths yet? 5 Bondsmith oaths. So far we have only met one bondsmith Dalinar who is bonded to the Stormfather the spirit of oaths. His oaths make are understandable in light of that however what about an individual bonded to the Nightwatcher? She is a spirit of growth and possibly death so promising unity does not realy work in light of that. Do the different bondsmiths swear different oaths? 6 All 10 orders. During the final unite them scene in Oathbringer 11 individuals show up. We see one from each order with the exception of Adolin who is not a radiant at all and Shallash who is the patron of the lightweavers. No dustbringer is present and Shallan is already representing the lightweavers. Does this imply that Shallash is going to be a dustbringer? 7 The transportation surge. Does the transportation surge allow teleportation like oathgates or just travel to and from shadesmar? 8 Ialai's soldiers. What is going to happen to all the soldiers who turned traitor at the Battle of Thaylen Field? 9 Goals. Ialai seems to support her husbands goals and ambitions to thepoint committing treason by his order several times. When he died what were her goals? Was she just lashing out or did she have some further plan in mind beyond undermining Dalinar and the coalition? 10 Spanreeds. Do spanreeds work in the cognitive realm? 11The Iriali. Are the Iraili Ashynites? 12 Hope. This is a question for you as a person not you as the author but do you think that their is still hope for Moash, and Ialai or do you think that once someone is that far gone they are gone forever?
