Fun thing I noticed about his model actually: He did a move where his hood briefly swung back, and he actually has blond hair under it! It’s just so funny to me that they gave him hair, then completely hid it!

if there is one thing epic games is good at it is attention to detail in models

I'm just happy I have a character model now, even if it is in the weirdly obvious style of Fortnite.

7 unfinished costumes, too many unfinished art projects to count, 1 unfinished book and a build of Urithiru and kredik. shaw, both only half built in minecraft

Why he does this, even without Ruin's control or in fact ever really being an obligator by choice, is up to the reader to assess in terms of Marsh's psychology.

Perhaps growing his hair out again to look "more like the human Marsh would have" is something that would be painful to him.

Marsh has always been practical, being bald means no hair being pulled in fights and one less thing to maintain besides shaving. or maybe he just likes being bald.

Ah yes my favorite thing to do, covering one eye because the other is impossible to mirror

I would gladly help do this, I might be able to make a topographical map in blender but it will take a while, I also have an old frame of Urithiru, as for build limit there is a mod that increases the build limit to near infinite size. (if that doesn't work you can always have Urithiru in a pocket dimension with a plugin) Along with the stormcraft mod a larger map of Roshar that is fully decorated would be amazing.

-DM me on how big you want the map of Roshar because I know if its too big worldpainter takes forever to render

Elsecalling could possibly allow targeted nuclear strikes from the Cognitive realm, where an Elsecaller could reach out from the Cognitive realm and Soulcast a critical mass of rock into plutonium, causing a runaway reaction.

imagine trying to convince something to turn into plutonium "hey you want to turn into this? everyone will see you for miles, you'll be the brightest thing around!"

this will probably be bad because the only time I've ever played a MOBA was to get the Oni Genji skin.

Ranette

Ranged assassin? or support? 

Auto attack - shotgun, slow speed, high damage, low range

Q- Pewterarm rounds. Mid Range Skillshot- Ranette fires a pewterarm round Doing high damage and slowing for .5 seconds

W- Glare daggers. Rannete glares daggers at a visible enemy dealing light damage and stunning them for .75 seconds

E- Antisocial. Become invisible for 2 seconds and pull yourself in the direction opposite to where you are facing 

R1- Upgrade. upgrade a heroes weapon, including yours, giving their autoattack extra 20% damage untill death, and take 20% less damage for 3 seconds. 

R2- Superior craftmanship. point out an enemy's weapons flaws, making their autoattack do 20% less damage until death and take 20% more damage for 3 seconds

D- Lurch. Ranette pulls on an enimies metals causing them to stumble and be slowed for .25 seconds (faster recharge than glare daggers)

passive: Ranettes hired copperclouds prevent her from being detected by investiture related means

While looking through the news for my games on steam I stumbled across concept art of a never released game by motion twin, the developers behind dead cells, and the first picture was this...

I almost scrolled past until I noticed that many of these powers were like burning steel and iron, and wondered if they were inspired by Mistborn (especially with shooting coins) which also got me wondering if there are any other things like this, inspirations by cosmere magic or things shockingly similar.

Tbh. i read the epilogue before these chapters and was very confused by what went down in it, but it all makes sense now

 

Alcatraz would be disappointed

might as well give this a try while im here 

odium wanted to splinter a shard into 15 parts but they splintered into 16 so he just chucked the last one way into the spiritual realm.

I'd go with 3 and 4. I don't see Hoid being interested in anyone under 5000.

I second this

Hi guys,

I just finished the first reading of Oathbringer, just in time before the release of Novella 3.5 and Book 4, and I am delving through this forum to read theories now that I am caught up on the SA books.

I am planning to listen to OB on Graphic Audio soon but starting with the last 35 chapters or so, I started taking notes on some of the unclear things to me. I am reading analysis articles about the book and the various events, but thought to ask you here the questions I have in mind because I am sure I have missed most of these answers.

So thank you again for those who have some answers to the below:

[SPOILERS BELOW FOR OATHBRINGER]

.

1- Interlude I-7: Venli mentions that the Alethi mistakenly thought that the greatshells were the gods of the singers. Has this been discussed elsewhere? Is there more info on this point?

2- Interlude I-10: Is the Hog that attacks Sheler a greatshell or a new animal?

3- Interlude I-11: Did Venli bond two spren: the voidspren in her gemheart and Timbre? Can humans and other singers do the same or is it a unique case for Venli?

4- Ch89: Are Nightblood and Vivenna / Azure's sword shardblades? Do swords on Nalthis and Roshar contain the same type of Investiture?

5- Ch 89: Can a certain type of shardblades be summoned / used in Shadesmar: Honorblades, Dead Shardblades, Sprenblades?

6- Ch 92: Why do some people call Szeth by his dad's name (Neturo) and others by his grandfather's name (Valano)?

7- Ch 92: What does Szeth mean that he knew a voice similar to Nightblood's in his youth? We probably have to wait to his flashbacks to know more?

8- Ch 92: Why does Nightblood only burn eyes on Roshar?

9- Ch 92: Is Shashara from Nalthis the same person as Shalash on Roshar?

10- Ch 92: Is Nightblood's consumption of Stormlight on Roshar the same mechanism as him consuming Breaths on Nalthis - as both are types of Investiture? Is Nightblood a spren on Roshar?

11- Ch 99: Do the Spren use the copper on the ship in Shadesmar to communicate through vibration? Is this related to some Cosmere metallic quality (Should I find something in Mistborn about this)?

12- Ch 100: Why can't Dalinar use the Stormfather as a shardblade?

13- Ch 100: What is the metal that falls from the sky and can block a shardblade (is it also a reference to a metal from Mistborn)?

14- Ch 100: Why do Vedens look Alethi but speak a foreign tongue?

15- Ch 101: Are screaming blades only the ones left during the Recreance by the Knights Radiant?

16- Ch 101: Do we know who Ico's daughter is?

17- Ch 106: What does Nin mean when he tells Szeth: "The others must interpret what they have sworn before and I hope they will see the truth?"

18- Ch 108: Mythica book mentions that the Midnight Mother was destroyed at Aharietiam. How is she still in Urithiru?

19- Ch 109: What does Venli mean when she says that the spren betrayed the singers for the humans?

20- Ch 114: Why did the Nightwatcher call Dalinar both son of Honor and son of Odium?

21- Ch 114: How does the Nightwatcher know about Nightblood?

22- Ch 114: When Dalinar returned after meeting Cultivation, he hears only leaves rustling and thinks he should hear something else. What should have he heard? Screams of children?

23- Ch 115: Does Odium change his appearance depending on who sees him - Dalinar sees him human, Venli sees him as a parshman?

24- Ch 116: What are the yellow spren leading the Fused?

25- Ch 117: Why did Lift say that the Nightwatcher lied to her?

26- Ch 119: In the battle of Thaylen Field, there were 3 Un-made? The 2 in the Thunderclasts and Yelig-Nar as the Black Smoke, or there were any additional ones?

27- Ch 120: Amaram's transformation of the ground to liquid after ingesting the crystal (Yalig-Nar??) - is that some form of Voidbinding?

28- Ch 121: Why did the Fused instruct Moash to kill Jezrien?

29- Ch 122: What does Adrotagia mean when she tells Taravangian: "The Herald's insanity prompted us?"

30- Ch 122: Is Renarin's spren, Glys, still corrupted after the end of OB?

31- Ch 122: How did Jezrien's honorblade go from Szeth to Leshwi (who then gives it to Moash?)

32- Ch 122: Nohadon knew how to write and read. When did the men stop reading and writing?

33- Ch 122: Why did Dalinar "accept the sword "only through the cloth"? What does it mean?

Thank you for answering any of these; I know they are too many to be all answered by one contributor

i will try my best to answer these

4- nightblood is something else entirely, but it may have been inspired by shardblades, azures sword is... odd its like half shard but made kind of like nightblood i think, and investiture can be converted if you have the means to do it

5- no, not as far as we know, because shardblades are parts of spren, so summoning dead shardblades and sprenblades wiill just get a reaction from the spren. honorblades though i am not sure

6- I think it depends on if they knew his father or not, szeth gives the excuse of not soiling his fathers name and making things harder for him.

8- nightblood still turns things into smoke

10- nightblood is not a spren and yes, it is the same as breaths

11- maybe, copper hides things allomantic wise and stores memories feruchemical wise it stores memories so im not sure. and i cant delve into it deeper without spoilers for people not reading the preview chapters.

12- two things, bondsmiths dont really do violence, or at least keep it to a minimum, and also the stormfather dosent want to.

13- the metal that falls from the sky is aluminum, which is magically inert and will just absorb investiture. shardblades cant cut it like other things but will still cut like you were using a normal sword. 

15- yes, which is all of them any blade or plate that is used by a non-radiant is a dead spren and will scream for people bonded with spren.

16- ico's daughter is probably timbre

18- its either lies or most of her physical form was destoryed and the rest was captured.

19- spren are native to roshar and so are the singers, but when the humans came to roshar from ashyn they started worshipping honor instead of odium then when the desolations happened honor and the spren sided with humans while the singers sided with odium.

20- my best guess is that it is because dalinar was both odium and honors pick to be their champion

21- vasher probably has been to the nightwatcher and might have shared something, the nightwatcher is also really old so it had ample time to talk to cosmere aware people who might have known a bit.

22- his wife's name, his curse from the nightwatcher was to forget everything about his wife, not just the battle where she died

23- yes, odium will look different to singers and humans mostly just to make them feel more comfortable

25- I dont think lift ever actually got her curse and boon as far as we know, but she asked to stay the same, or remain young, but what actually changed about her was that shes nnow partway in the gognitive realm and can touch spren.

26- amaram bonded to yelig nar bot thats all, and the red smoke is nergaoul or the thrill

27- bonding with yelig nar gave him access to all 10 surges. so it was either soulcasting into something or he shaped the stone into a more liquid like form

28- heralds are dangerous, and I think they also wanted to test if the knife would actually permanently kill one

30- yes

31- szeth lost it, then kaladin gave it to dalinar who hid it, then it was stolen by fused and given to moash

32- some men still learn to read just like some women learn to fight most of them bieng ardents, its more of a taboo than anything

33- if dalinar touches the cloth he will hear the screams of the dead spren the blade is made of.

I hoped this helps

they see it as their duty to care for the people and are often less interested in war

I think somewhere it was said that adolin doesn't actually enjoy war, or fighting for the kill in general. adolin likes dueling, and unless completely necessary dosent really like killing and he does care about people he just also is kind of uninformed about how darkeyes are treated because he hasnt known anything besides bieng in the highest class. (I would love to see adolin having to disguise himself as poverty for a extended time or even something like what vivena went through in warbreaker.)

sadeas was definitely an outlier though

i still do belive that adolin wouldnt fit with the edgedancers but would enjoy seeng him trying to figure out sliding around.

chouta, get chouta

there is definitely a reason nobody has mentioned Rlain

yeah I have a similar problem, a family member ordered it for me for my birthday and used the name I do not identify as anymore so I really do want to change that

Mistborn ("Wasing not of wasing is")

 

when I read that I had to double take and then screeched.

I think its a fabrial? but like a soulcaster where they kind of just found them and dont know how they are made. Its also probably not aluminum, because of the quote above and aluminum is not native to Roshar.

Amazing, I love how you draw Renarin!

yessss more. fuel my want for wayne to meet the lopen!
