Frustration

Oh, several WoBs, Arcanum unbounded, etc.

She said she wasn't alive at the time, but her Grandmother was.

Oh, I made a theory about it, and knew you were interested in the topic based on the number of WoB's I found of you asking about it. What's the most interesting side conversation that Shardcast has goten off on?

No, the amount of anti-investiture needed is way beyond anything that they could produce. Like it would require gems larger than continents to cause a shard real danger.

We don't have confirmation, but I would be stunned silent if we didn't.

If you allow mistborn additional tools the radiant gets them as well.

Yep Brandon loves us best, totally not really, we just translated them and added the translation to the image They only need one protected by a shield generator and have their reserves train under gravity increasing fabrials until everyone is acclimated to scadrian gravity.

Why would you use a shardblade? At that point you would switch to anti-armor weapons like a mace or a hammer, and kill them blunt force.

They could but we would have no way to tell. In order for the Maskless to meet up with the Basin they would have to circle around the entire Malwish continent, without being spotted by the enemy.

Alright, that's fair but here's my question: What is the Evil? I can't make a full analysis of the Evil if we don't know what it is. Can the Evil leave its continent? Is it even sentient in the first place? We just don't know enough to say, so I don't think I can go into more detail than I have.

Ack, thanks how'd I switch those two up. That is something to keep in mind thak you.

Why would they not be during OB?

Welcome to Frustration's Firepower Index, a collection of threads giving a comprehensive analysis of each cosmere world's combat capabilities. This thread will focus on the world of Nalthis, as it appears in Warbreaker, with some additional knowledge from The Lost Metal. Shards: Nalthis is home to the Shard Endowment who plays an active role in the planet's affairs. 2/3 Dawnshards: Nalthis has no known Dawnshards. 0/0 Defenses: The sole perpendicualrity on Nalthis is located within the Kingdom of Hallandren, and is known to the kingdom, with established customs agencies there, giving them warning against threats of invasion via the perpendicularity. The land near the perpendicularity is also frequented by earthquakes and storms, while having several nearby mountains, making invasion difficult. 2/5.5 Offenses: Nalthis has no geographical restrictions on it's magic system, allowing it to be easily taken off world. Additionally Returned can sustain themselves on ambient investiture, from other worlds. Their lifeless also do not need food, drink, or sleep 1/1 Natural Advantages: Nalthis has the second lowest population of major shardworlds -1/2.5 Armed Forces: There are several military powers on Nalthis, but the only known ones of relevance is Hallandren, and the Idrian coalition. Hallandren: Hallandren has around a thousand of Kalad's Phantoms, stone warriors who can move faster than regular people, and are all but immune to most conventional forms of damage. They also have a high concentration of awakeners, and Susebron, who has around 50,000 breath, and know how to make lifeless with a single breath. Idrian coalition: exists. 3/12.5 Economics and Technology: Nalthis has developed trade routes both through mountain passes, and across the Bright Sea. They use medieval weaponry, with nothing more advanced than swords being shown. 1/7.5 Logistics: On World: Nalthis has maintained roads, shipping lanes, and mountain passes. They also have lifeless who can run or row forever, without food, water or sleep. 3.5/10 Off world: Nalthis has established trade off world, as well as easy access the perpendicularity. They also have lifeless who can run or row forever. 2.5/2.5 Intelligence: Drabs are harder to notice by people, and awakened objects can find hidden objects or passageways. 2.5/10 Counterintelligence: People with a lot of breath can detect people and spren's lifeforce. Additonally they might be able to tell that someone from another world is both a human and doesn't have breath. And they can make codded locks that can tell if you stole the codes. At seventh heightening they can even sense invested objects. 4/9 Allies: Nalthis has no allies. 0/1 Notable uses of investiture: Awakened clothing can provide additional strength, absorb impacts and other functions. Life sense allows them to sense when they are being looked at as well as when kinetic investiture is being used nearby. 7th heightening, while rare also allows them to sense dormant investiture. Additionally awakened objects and Returned have some divination abilities, and can determine the intents of those using them. +3 Recommended Strategies: Nalthis is in a rather unique position, as of now it is an average power, but it has the potential to be so much more. Awakening is the magic system responsible for perhaps the single most dangerous object in the entire cosmere. If Nalthis can learn the full extent of its magic they stand poised to be a force capable of dominating the entire Cosmere. Overall ranking: 23.5/65.5 As before I am interested in hearing you thoughts, did I miss anything? What did you think of the ranking?

The exhaustion of running out of stormlight isn't savantism, it's the body losing a ton of energy all at once. As for protection, I don't think it would. So far as I know there isn't any way to be protected from Savantism.

I was more wondering if Nicrosil compounding would be able to do the same thing, rather than being an action of a shard.

I don't think you could get breaths exactly. You might get a Preservation equivalent, but I don't know if you could awaken with those.

I'm talking about the fabrials mentioned in Navani's notebook. If you go to the painrail page one of the artworks has a translated version that mentions gravity. Not to the same levels, but they are far from human.

The Maskless and the Malwish interact to a much greater degree than they do with the North, Allik mentions that they have wars against the Maskless in BoM. And given the map the Malwish have probably been acting as a barrier between the Maskless and the Basin.

Could you elaborate further? I'm afraid I don't understand what problem this causes. That is true.

Probably the Maskless.

Shallan pulled Kaladin into the crevice while they were in the Chasms. There is no way she is strong enough to do that.

I don't think we did.

I don't know about any concrete numbers but here are some references WoK: 715, 973 WoR: 153, 322, 374, 384, 874, 1022, 1024-1025 OB: 465-466 this one is particularly noteworthy as Drehy ran over a Rosharan mile in full gear with rations in under 6 minutes with just Stormlight. And Kaladin hadn't learned how to use basic lashings when he picked up Hobber For his strength he isn't, he is a special kind of Horneater, but there are others like him. For his size he isn't either as Eshonia was seven Rosharan feet tall.

Roshar has fabrials that can manipulate gravity, and Windrunners can manipulate atmospheric pressure. It would certainly be a pain but I didn't think it would be crippling. Me too, unfortunately Brandon has been stingy with the numbers. Kandra are also spiked, and their cognitive aspect is so distorted that they can't access it without spikes. If we go by theoretical limits there's a lot to add, now admittedly just by unified planets isn't a lot, but the increased airships, medallions, primer cubes for Scadrial and Fused, Thunderclast and singer for Roshar does add quite a bit of flavor to it.

Yeah, Brandon has read the prologue the first chapter and the first two flashbacks, you can find them in the arcanum, if you click discover and go to readings.
