Yes. Thankfully very few people have knowledge of hemalurgy.

Yes. We see Hoid using it during his conversation with Lin Davar during Shallan's Hoid flashback. This is one of the advantages of allomancy. Your location does not mater and the metal is not particularly expensive(compared to breath or stormlight on another world).

At the end of WoR Nale gives Szeth Nightblood as either a test, a trap, an opportunity to learn or IMO as a counterbalence to the Heralds(Nightblood can permanently kill almost anything). She Worldhopps. The CR(cognitive realm) is flat as opposed to round and only exists where beings can think. If no thinking organisms(even bacteria) exist(like in space) then no cognitive realm will exist over that area. This allows a large number of people to cross interstellar distances just by WALKING. If Adolin during OB for example had chosen a different direction to go and just kept going that way he would eventually find himself in the CR of a different planet. He probably does as of swearing the third idea at the battle of Theylen field. He did not before because he was only second ideal. All radiants we have seen so far get their blades at third.

They are information gatherers and as you know they used to be allies of the radiants. Many are worldhoppers and they are spying on most of the notable characters in SA(you can actually check their coppermind page for cremlings that act smarter then they should).
-
We are not actually sure how they are made. We have some speculation from that beginning scene in BoM but that is all. We just know that if you tap one(like a metalmind) you gain a power and when you stop tapping the power is restored. There is also some nicrosil involved somehow.

Good question. TLR died. How on earth could he do anything...
-
Sure. I just think they should stay defensive. What happens if he is lost? His death would bring down the coalition. There are no other bondsmiths and there is no clear succession of command for the radiants. He can advise via spanread(the character young Dalinar is based on actually did this winning battles many miles apart by giving careful instructions to subordinates through relay riders) but risking him on the front lines does not seem smart. It also squanders his political value. A thing we all missed so far is that Urithiru and the radiants themselves should work to increase their standing as well as make it harder to leave the coalition. Acting as a neutral party in disputes, gangrening financial and treaty agreements, as well as perhaps arranging for some good marriages are all ways to keep the coalition from flying apart next time Taravangian tries somthing.

I agree that Windrunners offer a never before opportunity to discover information but none of the people on your team are natives. Still figuring this out would be a good idea. Szeth is currently unavailable. Otherwise I would agree. The two major problems that I see with your strategy are firstly that it leaves Urithiru dangerously low of Radiants and secondly you are assuming that the enemy is going to be passive. With no knowledge of when or how new ones will show up your deployment of radiants that means your best and most important assets are at risk and irreplaceable. You also don't know enemy plans nor can you easily disrupt or intercept their communications as those are handled by fused. The inverse does not hold true. Plenty of humans have switched sides and they have access to future sight. I personally would probably be more reactive. I would keep the Radiants close to Urithiru as they trained and focus on protecting assets and learning about the enemy. I would also look into contacting the spren about getting more radiants and research into fabrails like you said.

theory The Unmade are Truthwatcher, not Bondsmith, spren
Karger replied to KandraAllomancer's topic in Stormlight Archive
I really want a good description of what is going on with Voidbinding because right now it is just too confusing. We clearly don't have all of the pieces.- 30 replies

Also doesn't Brandon keep the short stories as "optional" reading? I don't think making the Dawnshards that level of important immediately would be a good idea.

Don't we have confirmation that there are nine orders of voidbinding with bondsmiths left out?- 30 replies

No. There is actually a kind of lemur that collects pollen in its fur.

It depends on when we are talking. Starved and enslaved Kaladin vs starved and enslaved Vin is going to have Kaladin as victor. Current Kaladin vs Ascendant Warrior Vin can be summarized as "he is screwed."
-
Except we don't care about evolution because it is not really a concern within the timeline of the cosmere. I agree that some pollinators must exist.

So you think the Truthwatcher equivalent fused are the big deal in Odium's "society?" Very plausible.- 30 replies

Dawnshard confirmed for Rysn Novella(or at least the presence of one as a plot device).
-
^^ I was going to say they might not pollinate at all. Plenty of plants don't. Some cremlings, minks, skyeels and other pollinators could also play a roll. Perhaps they just use the winds. This sounds more hit or miss but it is not impossible. They also might use airborne fertilization methods(like coral's waterborne ones).

Maybe. Not supernatural though and he did not do anything with broken ribs. Also when did he fall from the roof?

Returned are complicated. It basically takes power to leave the CS attached to their bodies. We do not know the exact ratio of marks to stormlight. Brandon has Peter working that out. However it absolutely is possible to convert(how do you think Vasher survives on Roshar).

Nine is my favorite number. Also I use base four so I win.

Renarin healed at the perpendicularity and again at the thunderclast. Adolin suffered no significant damage in between.

His brother healed him and we don't know if he will become radiant even if it is generally believed he will revive Maya. I have seen Sja-anat responsible for fixing blades theories. They make sense. We will see.

Who are the most boring characters in Stormlight Archive
Karger replied to Bearer of all agonies's question in Cosmere Q&A
If you think any part of SA is boring you truly are a bearer of all agonies. -
*Reassign.
-
A fabrial is a device that uses investiture. Breath is a kind of investiture. In point of fact you actually can turn breath into stormlight. So in summary yeah you could do it. It is just generally easier to use stormlight as opposed to breath(at least when on roshar) because of availability.
