  1. No, Brandon has said there is meaning to it.
  2. Desolations are based on a similar pattern, but are not the same thing as the binding of Odium, a desolation happening won't affect Odium in any real sense. Highstorms are predictable, but not entirely, Stormwardens can only get chances, likely on this day, unikely this day and so forth.
  3. When stormlight leaks out of a gemstone it goes back to the SR, but if you covered a gem with Aluminum it wouldn't leak
  4. He DID kill Honor. And I highly doubt that moving the Highstorm, something we know he did, was what caused it, nor do I think that it took all of Honor's focus at all times to maintain that binding, as even now 2,000 years later he is still bound. I don't recall weather being messed up, and even if it was I think it's more likely to be a result of the entirely new storm that never existed before suddenly appearing than the other one being a few days faster. What I do remeber being messed up was Stormwarden predictions. And then you can move it back, or make the winds more feroucious, and direct lightning at them, or harry them with Radiants. Stonewards, willshapers and Elsecallers can make a stormshelter for you, or simply calm the winds near the bottom, or have Windrunners part the winds around your forces.
  5. Considering he was in regular enough contact that he talked each generation through humanities origins on Roshar I think we do. When Odium moves the everstorm to Theylanah at the end of OB The Stormfather says that Odium is moving it like Honor used to move him. So it did happen, whether to the extent I think it did is uncertain, but it did happen. Odium was bound before the Desolations started, because the Oathpact was made afterwards. Not really, Highstorms are already unpredictable, the best stormwardens can get is, "These days are likely to have highstorms." and as stated before Honor did do it. Just put it behind you, or behind your enemies, whichever works best for you tactically.
  6. I just had a thought that brings Radiants during the Desolations to a whole new level of unbeatable, Honor controllled the Highstorm, and he was in active contact with Radiants, so if they needed stormlight, he simply would speed up the highstorm until it got to where the Radiants were, if a battle happened he could simply stop the storm overtop of it.
  7. Well if you want my full thoughts on the chart I'll give them. Chart for referance Autonomy being an opposite of Dominion, I don't have any objections, nor do I overly disagree with Odium and Devotion being opposites, Honor being opposite with Ambition I can kinda see but I don't know how I feel about it. Valor and Endowment I really don't understand, I know it's an internal/external but I'm not seeing it, probably just me being dumb though. On the Dawnshard placements I have a few questions Why is Whimsy not in Change? Honor and Odium would make a natural pair, so I have to disagree with them being in differnet Dawnshards. Additionally in there is a "Unite" dawnshard I feel Odium has to be part of it because of this rough quote from Elantris ".... hatred can unitfy men far more quickly and far more powerfully than devotion ever could."
  8. I was actually thinking Whimsy, I don't have a number analogy, but it's kind of an "All change" in opposite to "No change"
  9. I doubt that to be the case, of the three spren we've seen that have had multiple Radiants, Syl was hurt increadibly hard because of it, but only because she was young, The Stormfather doesn't bring up information unsless specifically asked for, but the Sibling seems to have retained all mental functions and memories, so I don't see why others wouldn't be able to share.
  10. Given that Ruin and Preservation "polarized" I believe that if Ruin was replaced with Cultivation, and all else remained the same yes they would have destroyed each other.
  11. Heralds live just as long. And so do Spren, and spren don't go insane because of it.
  12. But Preservation cannot create, if Cultivation tried to make a planet Preservation would try to stop it, if Cultivation made a fish farm, Preservation would stop them from reproducing. Continuing with your Preservation 0, Ruin -1 analogy, Cultivation would be +1.
  13. And here I was dying like an absolute fool, thanks Tani.
  14. Are you willing to share your secret for living so long?
  15. Cultivation adds, it creates more, Ruin destroys it makes things less. Preservation would have fought Cultivation to stop growth from occuring, Cultivation is push, Ruin is pull, Preservation is inertia.
  16. Ruin and Cultivation are opposites, Preservation would have had the same relationship with Cultivation he did with Ruin.
  17. Most lightweavers are less proficent, she's the only Elsecaller we've seen.
  18. We are looking for a HR manager.
  19. *Ahem* So you are the co-leader, of the colorful signatures guild, you aren't even full leader.
  20. That gave you rule of the other thread, not this one.
  21. Please tell me how you own it? I must imform you I have been given access to your internal documents which indicate that it was a dedicated stratagy and your employee was not reprimended, nor was any action taken on your part, I will be seeing you in court.
  22. Shards are not infinate, however they are so large that for all practicle purposes they are. Effectively they have 1/16 of all the power in the Cosmere.
