  1. Love and war go together...
  2. Well I just generated a theory thanks to this thread. I think his arc generally will be about becoming a team player. Not compromising his ideals but instead learning to work with them and others at the same time.
  3. I was reading this thread and it just makes to much sense. Lirin is currently at oath zero. His arc in RoW will be about learning to accept others and work with them. He is currently highly commuted but does not care for teamwork. He acts too much like the lone crusader. Remind you of anyone? Lirin is trying to keep everyone in a town from harm in a town currently occupied by enemy forces and sheltering the leader of the resistance. I am hopping that Dalianr assigns him an impossible task. Curing Taln and Ash or at least improving their condition. Along the way Lirin will learn more about the radiants and will try and become more of a team player.
  4. I am pretty sure that some scadrian theologian thinks that what happened once can happen again IE that those vessels must have gotten their power from somewhere/someone.
  5. They already know a lot of this on scadrial. They know that shards are held by mortal beings who are prone to failure just like everyone else.
  6. Lirin hoped Tien would pick it up as a way of bringing him into the family business and because he needed an apprentice but when Tien had no aptitude Lirin got him into a different profession.
  7. Well we knew that you could not turn on a spanreed while inside an aluminum box and have the other side respond.
  8. Lirin clearly does not think highly of people who engage in violence for any reason. He might have been disappointed if Kaladin had become an ardent or stormward but I doubt he would have objected. Lirin saw early on that Kaladin had a knack for surgery. He recognized that Kaladin had a capacity to save lives beyond his own. Considering saving people's lives is what Lirin devoted his life to he must have been incredibly thankful. However in his view Kaladin threw that all away. It is not just that he did not live up to Lirin's expectations but they are now (as Lirin sees it) on opposite sides of a conflict. Kaladin is working directly against the goals of his father. He is killing the people Lirin is trying to save. I don't doubt that Lirin loves Kaladin unconditionally but in choosing a life of killing Kaladin has, as far as Lirin is concerned betrayed his ideals. Lirin is also understandably worried about Kaladin. He is well aware of the effects of trauma. Humans are not built to kill people. So not only is Kaladin working against Lirin but Litin is also worried about what Kaladin might do and is doing to himself.
  9. Do we know what happens if you turn on a set of spanreeds and then put an aluminum box over one?
  10. It does happen sometimes despite my siblings protestations to the contrary.
  11. Welcome to the shard. Storms are frequent enough that the real problem is storage capacity. The different fused Venli has talked to indicate that it is a long running argument between kill them all and enslave them all. Odium however made it clear during OB that his is the only thing that matters. True.
  12. One wonders where the idea of the different orders and why there had to be 10 comes from. Singers and humans did cohabit for a time. From context I think after. It is tricky because draining stormlight quickly is hard without a radiant. Really? I rather liked it.
  13. More like thank you for making the fused nights miserable.
  14. They lit up a battlefield that was covered by a storm. I think with proper lenses you could easily make a spotlight.
  15. I would not call Lirin hypocritical. His sense of idealism is very strong though.

  17. So there is clearly a difference between using aluminum and disjoining the fabrial.
  18. LIGHT FABRAILS ALREADY EXIST! We saw them at Narak.
  19. Brandon has said there will be a difference but RAFOed what it would be. She already did that with the oathgates technically. I think it is her equivalent to Harthstone. She and Adolin have clearly been on this for a while and it is getting close to a conclusion.
  20. My crackpot theory I am not sure makes sense as is was that spanreeds that are active but trapped behind aluminum still work you just can't move them. Basically if I Jasnah starts writing to Navani and then puts her spanreed in an aluminum box Navani's spanreed will stay upright as long as it is infused even though "nothing" is supporting it. From this is Jasnah's aluminum box is much bigger and includes Jasnah Jasnah could close the door move the pen and Navani's reed would stay where it was put before. However Jasnah's pen would be in a different space. I actually think I have something. Think of it this way. Let us say that Navani wants the ship to move forward. She has the chulls move their end of the conjoiners a certain amount. So far so good. However if unless she wants to just levitate the thing and let the chulls walk behind her for the entire trip across Alethekar she needs to find some way of "turning off" the fabrails. It has been suggested that you just disjointing it but that has problems and I noticed one odd thing. She never says she has more then one set of chulls. I would think she would one for forward/backward movement and one for left and right movement but evidently not. She only has one set. She also says she can isolate a plane of movement not "turn it off." Somehow putting aluminum in the way continues to allow and already activated conjoiners to work but at the same time alters something about how they work. I think that if you leave a spanreed on and then throw into an aluminum box the other end will continue to move forward even after the first one has come to rest.
  21. Sure need anything else?
  22. OK then. Tin is usually extracted from a mineral called cassiterite. Most sources of cassiterite today are found in alluvial or placer deposits. Those generally correlate to steam beds(often dry ones).
  23. You highlight a specific line of text and then press the quote pop up button. Feel free to make suggestions in my thread for updates.
  24. That is terrifying.
  25. Tin actually varied a lot in terms of availability. For example very little was found in europe so that entire region had a tin trade doing the beginnings of the bronze ages.
