    But the Pinnacle in the Shattered Plains? Or in Yeddaw?

    So during highstorms, do folks have to go to specific parts of buildings? They talk about buildings being abandoned during storms and people being confined a lot, but so many are stone you’d think they were safe to move around in.

    I came here just to say the same thing. The entire time I was listening in my car, I was yelling "AFTER DUNNY DIES!!!! THE BRIDGE!!! HE ALMOST GOT TRAMPLED!!!" So thank you

    I've always been a fan of Harmony and Honor. I've been a martial artist for a huge chunk of my life and those two shards really resonate (no pun intended) with that. I love the balance that Harmony provides, keeping you walking the path between Ruin and Preservation, destroying and saving. I love Honor because I often feel that keeping our words/oaths is what makes us better people. Not necessarily some of the traditional ideas of honor where like you'd fight someone to defend your honor, but how you honor your word, or honor your friends and loved ones

    My bad. Must have missed that one. Thanks for the heads up

    Exactly. Nightwatcher is what the Stormfather was before Honor died. After Honor died, SF changed to incorporate Honor's cognative shadow, start granting visions, etc. The Heralds, on the other hand, are CS of themselves, that are granted bodies when they reincarnate after each desolation. Personally, I think they still have their bodies on Braise, but that's my theory.

    To add on to people saying that Lopen clearly didn't accept that it was gone, he actively tried to make it regrow once he realized he could take in stormlight. He had his family gather spheres for him to pull the light from, realizing that it could happen. Not only did he not accept that the arm was gone, when he realized there was a chance to fix it, he jumped at it. In contrast, Kaladin, for example, had internalized his brands as a part of him so much that he couldn't let them heal. He viewed them as marks of failure that he can't get over, as shown in both WoR and OB. His body rejected the tattoos because he didn't view them as a part of him, and because having them erased his failures the same way healing the brands would have, and he couldn't mentally accept those failures.

    The Hierocracy

    Impact replied to Ushumgallu's question in Cosmere Q&A

    Awesome, thank you. I had noticed that some were wed and Kabsul talked of leaving, so I wasn't sure the rules
  11. Impact
    That is what I was thinking of. Not sure where I got the "vessel" thing from

    The Hierocracy

    Impact replied to Ushumgallu's question in Cosmere Q&A

    I know it's slightly off topic, but can ardents have families? Kabsul mentions being allowed to court, and there are the two ardents on the Reshi Island

    He meant that when reading the first two books he didn't picture it until he saw the artwork.
  14. Impact
    That makes sense. But didn't the book mention Aesudan not being a good enough vessel to contain her? Or was it that the power consumed her?
  15. Impact
    In your theory, would the fuel be stormlight? Some other investiture? Physical strength? Would the shardblades contain a level of investiture for fuel? He had 2
  16. Impact
    This was how I read it. I read it as had Rock not killed Amaram, he would have continued on as Yelig-nar's host indefinitely. That was what I thought the point was. Aesudan was not a worthy host, but he was.

    this has been updated to [email protected], correct?

    Wasn't his shash brand new in the beginning of WoK? So he couldn't have been the first master. Though, I guess you said that these were all possible reasons and don't have to all be true.
  19. Impact
    That's really interesting. So he definitely got some Kabbalah inspiration. I do still wonder about the shattering part, but this WoB is great, thanks.
  20. Impact
    So I happened to be randomly reading about Kabbalah (Jewish mysticism) and I noticed it talked about the idea of creation being a part of the "Shattering of Divinity" into 10 vessels. I wonder if that was at all an inspiration for Adonalsium and the shattering. Not really going anywhere with this, I just thought it was kind of cool https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sefirot#Lurianic_Shevirah_(Shattering)_and_Tikun_(Rectification)
  21. Impact
    That was one of my original theories when reading it. Because translucent and transparent are kind of nebulous, especially in terms of light. I feel like all light is translucent, because I don't really know how light can be opaque.
  22. Impact
    I know I'm super late to this post, but was anything ever solved with the nine colors of light deal? I can't even find that mention on the wiki, so i'm going nuts trying to figure it out

    As a few have stated: when heat (or energy) is put into something, it has to come from somewhere, in this case the surrounding air and object. Energy goes into whatever is being lashed, and the adjacent objects basically give some of their heat along, making them colder.

    I always felt connected to the Windrunners. Aside from just loving the color blue and having blue eyes (so it feels fitting), the attributes of protecting and elading really fit my personality. I'm pretty quick to intervene in issues that I see and tend to take charge when no one else will. Barring the windrunners, I really like the edgedancers because of the healing and loving aspects
  25. Impact
    Listening to the part about Edgedancers, I think their surges do go together if you focus on their healing aspect. They are the battlefield surgeons. Progression obviously allows them to heal folks, but abrasion helps them get to those in need quickly, as well as avoiding direct conflict if necessary, which goes with the "loving" attribute, as well as their namesake. ***edit: Of course, as I listen on, this gets mentioned anyways and I no longer feel so clever
