So my uncle recommended The Final Empire to me when I was in 5th grade (or maybe I asked to read it after I saw the cover; I was an avid reader), and I finished it in a couple of weeks. Needlessly to say, pretty much everything was intimidating to me, and so I went ahead and kept on reading other books. Looking back, I can't believe I didn't know about the Cosmere, or even the idea that books could exist in the same universe. Fast forward about three years, another uncle told me a brief summary of the Way of Kings, and I was hooked. Me and my dad both got it on the kindle app, and after a few days of reading, we we're both hooked. After a couple of months, I started reading other Sanderson works, and with the help of friends, I became Cosmere-aware. Since then, I've plowed my way through everything Sanderson- and I've just about finished all of his Cosmere works!

So considering that every misting and ferring isn't working illegally for someone, hunting down a murderer, or working in some combat-based line of work, what if there was the Metallic Olympics (or something like that)? It would be a place where a bunch of people could come together to enjoy their metallic abilities, instead of using them to kill each other for once. Here of some ideas of what it could be like: Steel Soccer: This wouldn't be too different from regular soccer, just inside the soccer ball there's metal inside of it, so Coinshots can push it around, and it won't rip through any body's skull. Maybe the refs are Rioters or Soothers to prevent fights. Pewter (or maybe steelrunning) 100m-3200m runs: People would burn pewter for the entirety of the race, significantly speeding up times from what they are right now, like maybe a 2-minute mile or something. Steelrunning would be a lot harder because there wouldn't be a way to regulate how much speed is in each metalmind, but maybe it could work somehow. Iron Baseball: Baseball, but after someone hits a metal ball into the air, catchers/lurchers have to pull it into their glove by Pulling it instead of just normally catching it. Maybe the batter is a Thug, or they're a Coinshot. Of course, all of these sports are based off of modern day sports, so of course they would look very different, if they existed at all. If Sanderson decides to do this, he'll probably think of way more complex sports that I could never think of Do you guys have any ideas of what potential sports could look like?

Yeah, that's probably better than any of my choices. Should we wait on @Scion of the Mists or do you think we should just go ahead and guess? -

@MistCLOAKed Mountains and @Scion of the Mists, what do you guys think about Wikim and... maybe Renarin? Taravangian? -
Ok, so pretty much someone was hating on the beloved Stick, the thing that keeps this forum alive, so in response, I wrote this essay: Stick is known to be one of the most quintessential beings in the cosmere. Stick can grow and become a tree. Sticks can give nutrients and bear fruits to sustain the environment. Without sticks, the cosmere would be a mess, and no one would be able to fix it. In this (lamely and hastily written) five-paragraph essay, it will be proven to you the importance of stick in a few ways, including the contemporary issues that surround stick, the stick in the cosmere, and lastly, of course, the ideals of the stick. Stick is a heavily debated item that surrounds many of the threads. People care about the stick, for it brings joy and happiness to them, and unites all of the Alleyverse. However, there are many different ways that people choose to view stick. In the thread "Church of the Stick," we see @Seloun state, "But... are you a Frostlands stick or a Kharbranthian stick? I think we all know that the Kharbranthian Stick came first, and all else are merely splinter religions," after which @PorridgeBrick replied, "Truly splinter religions in all senses of the word." One can dive into a much deeper meaning of this brief exchange. These quotes show that stick is cared about, enough to create many different religions of the stick. People are devoted to the stick, and though some go away from the Church of the Stick, sticks are what keeps the forums running. In addition to this, there is the War of the Stick, a war that is occurring between @Emperor Stick and @Karger, over the fact that Emperor Stick briefly suggested the idea of all sticks being soulcast into fire. This, of course, is heresy to the Church of the Stick, and Emperor Stick shortly atoned for his sins, with a vow to never burn sticks again, except in rare cases. This can be found in the thread "War of the Stick," where Emperor Stick said, "There is NO NEED for war! I have decreed the end of all Stick burning." All of these pieces of evidence go to show that people care about the stick, and show how it affects their everyday lives. Consequentially, because the stick is such an important matter in the forums, it has become an even larger matter in the cosmere. As @Draconis so beautifully put it, "In the beginning there were three realms, and never did they meet. In time, there grew a tree, with roots in the physical, branches in the cognitive, and leaves in the spiritual," as is found in the aforementioned "Church of the Stick" thread. This tree brought forth incredible numbers of stickbinders (who will be addressed in the next paragraph) all of which have become loyal and faithful to the wonderful cause of the stick: to unite everyone. Also, sticks have been found all over the cosmere in cannon books. For example, in Elantris, Lastly, one must acknowledge the Ideals of the Stick. They read as follows, "1. Stick before fire. Stick before fire. Stick still before fire. 2. Thou art a stick. 3. Thou art not fire. 4. Thou shalt be a stick, even when others claim thou art fire. 5. Thou shalt stand firm in thy belief of stickdom," (spoke by @PorridgeBrick in the "Church of the Stick." The stick is a peaceful being, for all it wants is to grow and to spread, and to bring happiness to all that it goes to. To blaspheme against the stick is a sin, for the stick only brings joy and happiness. In addition to this, stick is opposed to fire, the common enemy of us all, as is evident in its ideals. Without stick, the 17th Shard would not be the happy and joyful place that it is today. To conclude, stick is unequivocally the most important thing in theses forums, the cosmere, and the internet as we know it. Though it is true that the stick is easily blown away by a highstorm, or perhaps is indeed floating in the middle of the ocean, one fact has been proven time and time again: stick finds a way. Stick will always grow back, will always grow to be something greater, and will always keep this forum alive. Stick was never meant to bring upon itself the doubt and hate from the forums, despite its peaceful and happy ways. Stick was meant to grow. I Am A Stick

The Ten Orders: How They do Everyday Things
Truthless of Shinovar replied to little wheel's topic in Stormlight Archive
How the ten orders go on a run Windrunner: Refuses to leave the parking lot, in case there are any runners that need to be protected from the cars Skybreaker: Doesn't run on the crosswalk when the hand is red even though there aren't any cars within a mile Dustbringer: Purposefully runs out in the middle of traffic, hoping to cause a wreck (gives windrunner a heart attack every time it happens) Edgedancer: Runs Glides with the really slow people so they're not forgotten Truthwatcher: Doesn't go on a run, he foresees nothing but pain, agony, and shin-splints Lightweavers: Creates illusions of self running really fast by everyone else just to tick them off Elsecallers: Studies what the best form for running is Willshapers: Goes on all the different roads, and never runs on the same one Stonewards: Often wonders what running would be like, let alone moving Bondsmith: Tries to get everyone to run together, in a pack, but no one ever sticks together -

Suddenly, a small perpendicularity appeared on the wall of the chamber. Nultūk stepped out and landed on the floor, making no sound as he landed on the ground. He glanced around, a look of confusion on his face. His lips began to move, almost as if trying to speak words, but no sound came out of his mouth. He appeared to curse, and instead, he hastily signed to his right, where his spren appeared, starting to translate his sign language. "Storms, where am I? This looks nowhere near Elendel" the spren said, addressing Jacien. Turning to Nultūk, she said, "That was the last of our stormlight, you know. We, more specifically you, really need some more." @Sunbringer- 111 replies

"Storms," Nultūk's spren says. "Well thanks for the help anyway." Nultūk silently started for door, pausing for a moment to look at the books. After a brief moment of hesitation, he left the building.

Nultūk continues to sign to his spren, who translates. "Yes, I'm from Varikev. Also, you don't happen to have any infused spheres, do you? I have some dun ones that I can trade."
