Kaladin is definitely being hit by either an Unmade or Odium.  Something is keeping him down unnaturally, it seems like his normal coping mechanisms just aren't working at all.  Or maybe this is just what it's like before you hit the 4th Oath for a Windrunner.

They are a member of "Team Radiant." 

I think he's just depressed. It's hard ,esp when u live like kal and have no medication to ease it.

Team radiant. U mean they are a group within the coalition. 

Idk , if anyone would say that's wrong in the midst of a Desolation , not when u r fighting it.

Huuummh...what would tin do??(since it's pewter partner)

Diminish them probably via overstimulation that mimicks tin savantism.

The soulcaster spren , what are they ?

Isn't that literally slavery seeing they might be sapient Spren ? 

I wonder if they will realize about the other worlds of the Cosmere. 

Strange to see that Taldain is mentioned , despite Autonomy's isolationism. 

Taldain , Scadrial , nalthis. The three worlds with shards that could perhaps interfere in Roshar. Hmmm

I'm sorry, English ist not my native tongue, but why do you think Renarin made an illusion? To me it was clearl Odium tring to get Kaladin, and only when he (it?) vanished, Renarin came through to Kal.

Yes but then odium would have created a illusion where the radiant version of moash would have been dead in some horrific manner or something like that. Not him being a hero. 

Also why would Moash run away from Odium ? 

And why does that light seem warm and encouraging and stuff to kal instead of seeming to simply be demanding his pain and bringing numbness to him.

Also, Moash: trying to get Kal to kill himself is a new low, even for u!!

Renarin's Illumination is really weird( maybe a stronger form of Shallan's ability to draw the best possible versions of others?) Would really like to read what everyones's thinking he actually did in that scene and why?

Idl if he tried to make kaladin commit suicide. More like he tried to make him not care about anyone. Turn him into a numb guy who doesn't feel pain in exchange for not feeling pleasure either. 

 He seemed extremely nihilstic, I think he was trying to  Bring him over to his side so that they could help odium end the world together. 

Also idk if renarin really used some sort of special ability or if he used some clever psychology alongside lightweaving to hurt moash where he's most vulnerable. He seems smart enough to pull that off. 

The warmth kal felt reminds me of the spiritual sustenance provided by lightweavers mentioned in one of the epigraphs.

Didnt he feel incredibly bothered by it in his POV back in WoK?

Huh I don't remember. It's been a yr or so since I read it.

I thought it was a bit like seeing your own future.  Electrum but for another person.  External electrum?

But it could more easily be seeing ur alternate present no ? What u could have been  ? 

So I wonder if Gaz is Shallans radiant squire or if he has bonded some Spren. 

He does seem to be the kind of person who needs to say a lot of truths to himself. Wonder if he will become bond a cryptic or has already bonded one. 

Or perhaps he's bonded some other Spren. 

Also I'm surprised he still thought of his spiritual self as having both eyes and could regrow it. He was one eyed for a few yrs atleast. 

Hmm makes me more optimistic that rysn will get her legs back too.

Has Moash bonded with a painspren somehow?

More like apathy Spren 

1) Wooo Ren was great. Although I wonder if he used an A gold like ability or just some lightweaving with some clever psychology to scare him and hurt him where he's most vulnerable but then kal felt that the light was warm and stuff. Reminds me of that epigraph saying how lightweavers provided spiritual sustenance.

2)   I really am beginning to love Moash as a villian.

It's easy for others to conclude he's weak and perhaps he is , but it's extremely painful and harsh to find ur way out of that depressive darkness.

U are more likely to break than find success. 

And the chance of success while glorious is slim and viable only after more pain. 

In a way moash really is trying to help kal . He isn't manipulating him , he truly believes it would be a mercy to kal. 

I don't agree with his actions but I won't hold it against him for believing and doing what he does. 

3).Man adolin thinks the real stuff is wierd huh. Lol 

4). And what the helll does shallan still have to acknowledge.  Did she kill her grandparents as well ?  

5). ALSO I'M SORRY BUT DID NO ONE READ THAT GAZ IS A LIGHTWEAVER SQUIRE IF NOT A TRUE RADIANT NOW. 

I have multiple personality disorder said bavadin , being frank. 

There was a barfight among sailors of  different nationalities in kharbranth. It got resolved quickly but not before someone hurt a shin.  

Dude the food in this restaurant in T'Telir is good enough to die for , we must definitely Return . 

Dude Blushweaver is so beautiful , she took my Breath away. 

Why does no one trust an Inquisitor around thier drinks ?

Cause they are afraid they will spike it. 

What did Leras say to Ati when he was moping about how everything dies in the end   ?

He told him to be more end-positive.

Why was Jewels depressed ?

Cause life was all so Drab to her. 

Why did Sadeas do such awful things ?

Cause he only has a splinter of Honor. 

What did the Steel ministry tell ppl before sending them to the pits ?

Repent for thee hathsin'ned

Why didn't hoid go back to yolen ??

Cause he knew he would get a  Frosty welcome.

see there's this thing called age. Gold seems to prevent it (look at miles for proof.) But steel... I don't think so.

That's the one thing gold can't help with Actually. Miles thinks about in his pov once too 

Also if it could then TLR wouldn't need atium at all. 

Ok now ,

If it's current era Earth or even era 1.5 Scadrial, then it's Double duralumin for me yo. 

Duralumin is way cheaper than gold on Earth and Connection I feel is a very underappreciated attribute. 

Allomancer Jak and the Pits of Eltania spoiler 

At worst I can use it to make friends quickly , maybe even con ppl lol. Although I could be like one of the guys you see in sitcoms whom everyone loves despite thier obvious and sometimes extreme eccentricities. 

I could compound it and target a particular person to make them fall in love with me and then cut the metal to make them fall out of love with me . 

Ultimate playboi/playgirl. 

Hell I could use A duralumin to burn all or part of my F charged duralumin at once to make a super strong bond with someone who's real rich or famous or whatever and manipulate them so easily. Wrap them round my fingers . 

Or I could actually have some sense of morality and use it to create rapport with other ppl ,become like a buddha like person who everyone loves and respects and use that rapport to destroy ignorance and spread love and peace and wisdom. 

Hell it could be that if certain theories are true I could cheat my way into becoming a mistborn too.

Why, why did you do this.

To test the limits of my abilities. My cringebinding has gotten better. 

Oh wait I thought of another one .

Why didn't Vin trust Oreseur the kandra ?

Cause he looked like a shifty guy. 

What happened when Jak went to the pits of eltania ?

He realised that he had made a Kolossal mistake. 

Why do ppl dislike waxillium ?

Cause he's a Pushy guy.

A Shard of Frustration would be pretty funny. Along with my not-serious theory that the "Shard that just wants to hide and survive" was the Shard of Cowardice.

 

Ah , so the Recreance was due to the Involvement by the Shard of Cowardice 

Why didn't Ati get invited to the party ?

Because he tends to Ruin everything. 

Why does Syl limp ?

Cause she fell and sprened her ankle

Other Truthwatchers can make normal illusions.

  Reveal hidden contents

It is confirmed that only Renarin has Illumination shenanigans.

 

Meaning ? 

Interesting. I think maybe they use illumination in a opposite way. Much like how u have pushing and pulling metals , perhaps truthwatchers can use illumination not to create illusions but to see through them . Mayhaps they can sense when someone is involved im subterfuge via spiritual Connection. Mindread a bit in a way. 

Also physically perhaps they have like x-ray vision or atleast extremely good eyesight and hearing. 

I mean illumination deals with waves right. Sight and sound are both waves. Hmm maybe they can sense vibrations in atmospheric pressures allowing them to predict enemy movement in advance without sight. 

Mistborn era 1 spoilers :

Maybe investiture like light has a wave like form too which they can sense , much like a seeker

Thanks so much, I like to think of her as a classy elder Alethi woman.

Here's some more sketchbook offerings

 

A pretty Kaladin who has finally met a hairbrush

 

A Renarin I'm not a fan of and will redo, and a Siri and Vivenna

 

Smol Steris doodle

 

Melaan in a pretty dress

 

A not so well dressed Melaan

(I said her dress was made of muscle juice and got a few grimaces. The world just isnt ready.)

 

Szeth wore a white mistcloak on the day he was to kill a Lord Ruler.

 

Oh boi this is amazing  in so many ways. Also I love melaan when she's not so well dressed. The world is getting ready. 

 Let me list the possibilities :

1). It's Nightblood. Brandon said szeth would be in prison at the beginning of RoW. So it's possible dalinar took it away from him and Adolin eventually realised he could wield it without commiting hara Kiri. We haven't seen it in the CR and it could very well be that it bleeds rainbows there . 

Oh boi , if true then I can't wait to read the dialogue bw adolin and nightboi. ♥️

Although Idk how smart it is to bring a weapon of such destructive ability on a diplomatic mission. Not unless they are expecting a major assault by enemy forces. 

And let's hope adolin never unsheathes it. 

2). It's azures sword . Or perhaps one that Zahel created and has gifted to adolin . A safer and weaker version of Nightblood which unlike shardblades can be used in the CR. We didn't see azures sword hemorrhaging rainbows like that in OB but perhaps it's cause it wasn't exposed to the spiritual realm there since they used oath gates. 

Now I'm pretty sure it's dalinar creating a traversible perpendicularity with investiture from the SR leaking in. So that's y it's bleeding so beautifully perhaps.

As for it's wierd shape , perhaps zahel created it as some hybrid between a sword and a spear so that either kal or adolin could use it maybe. 

3). It's a normal sword but with a aluminium sheath. Aluminum can probably cut Spren too I think and it might be useful to cut down dangerous cognitive beasts like anger Spren for example. If there's a battle occuring in the PR at that moment and in that spot hoping to stop the mission ,then I'm guessing u will have a lot of angerspren gathering on the cognitive side. 

This does not explain the bleeding colours however. 

4). It's a parshendi leecher sword he stole, it  seems to have a gem in the crossguard , one which steals stormlight maybe , but again no explanation for the colours. Unless it's like overflowing with stormlight and like a sponge has gotten full and is vomiting it out as colour. Yeah tinfoil. 

As for Maya, I think it would be an extremely stupid faux pas to bring a deadeye on a diplomatic mission to convince Spren whose greatest fear of allying with  humans is that they might end up as deadeyes besides they being honorspren won't be so forgiving of a walking representation of broken oaths and the Recreance. 

I think he was reaching the breaking point with not enough gain to keep him young. Like he believed he could tap the WoA again and reverse the damage or something.

except there is none.

Not exactly , there might have been a few other pouches of atium that other kandra had that got lost in the catecendre. 

Harmony might make an exception for marsh and create some atium for him with great effort. Marsh is afterall extremely useful and sazeds oldest and perhaps only Friend. 

Well I think that for example an alloy of lerasium and steel , would make u into a hyper-misting . U wouldn't just be as powerful a coinshot as Elend but several times more. Possibly  16 times more powerfully . Imagine being able to steelpush like a iron compounder without feruchemy. 

Same applies for other metals. Imagine hyper-thugs , hyper-sliders, hyper-soothers . 

That was a nice Ted talk yo. 

Hell I hadn't even thought that twinborn could do RC. I had always thought that it was only possible for fullborn or misting/mistborn who had a spike granting F-nicro.

Hmmmm it could be possible but I think the biggest flaw is that if it were that easy then any compounder could have figured it out. Esp since it's been 3 centuries. 

But then again twinborn are rare and compounders even more so and then u have compounders of metals like gold whose allomantic ability isn't that great. 

Although I wonder what would have happened to miles if he had RC'd gold and tapped the concentrated gold shadows. 

We haven't even heard of any other compounders so far , not even a reference . We only know of miles and TLR ,so well it's possible. Let's see. 

Also , compounding is not really harmonys domain . He didn't invent it. 

If anything , only feruchemy can be claimed as harmonys art. 

Also harmony can't harmonize everything. If he could , everything would be perfect. 

Well I think  leras had always planned for lerasium to be created by a vessel. So he knew there would be  mistborn eventually.

But He needed a Seeker to find the well before he could create lerasium tho , so he created the only version  he could create then ,without gaining ati's suspicion , it in the form of Mistings.

I guess he really knew duralumin would be extremely useful for a mistborn so allowed it and it's paired metal aluminium to be wasted as a misting power. 

Another thing is that magic systems are born by the design of the shard and the spiritual influence of the planet itself which can be quite varied from sphere to sphere. So yeah shards don't have complete control over magic systems. I think I read a wob saying that somewhere

I mean, your Spiritweb is Investiture, as is your Cognitive. There's a certain sword...

But even the Lord Ruler couldn't do that, so probably not

Isn't it the common belief that Tlr never had chromium or nicrosil

Huh , I wonder if u can kill someone like that. Just snuff our thier soul yo
