that sounds crazy dangerous what happens when it rains. (edit):nvm it will probably just be in a geode like the Atium was

This seams contrary to the this WoB

Do we have WoB that the "lost metal" is in reference Atium because that's the first thing that came to mind for me because in Shadow of Self Wax is at the party and sees the empty pedestal that says Atium the lost metal but later Wax is it the Pits of Hathsin so he knows exactly where the new Atium will be and in my mind, it is no longer lost. So that leaves other metals like Lerasium if I remember correctly we have WoB saying that there were 16 beads of Lerasium and we only know what happened to 12 of them TLR gave 9 to some unknown people once he finished at the well of ascension then took one for himself then later Hoid takes one and Elend takes the other that leaves 4 still floating around somewhere and I would think Harmony would want to know where they are. This also allows for a rejuvenation of alomancy for the later eras. also as a side note will 16% of the population on Scadrial always have some Alomantic ability because all humans have some of preservations body in them or is that wrong. also also this is all in reference to book 4 in era 2 being named The Lost metal.

That’s epic

true enough

I kinda get the sense that a kandras are pretty smart about the human body like when MeLaan is able to fix up Marasi (if I remember MeLaan talks about some things that modern science is just barely able to do I think it was skin graphing) plus kandar have been doing a lot of experimenting on what they are capable of. (edit): plus kandar all live for like 600+ years and have a better understanding of the human body than any given human could.

@Pathfinder thank you that what I thought would be the case I kinda want MeLaan and Wayne to have a kid

I was just wondering if a kandar wanted to have a child could it replicate the requisite parts to give birth to one. I was thinking of MeLaan and Wayne even though they would both probably be bad parents unless they took the "role" of being a parent.

I imagined them as XL medieval broad swords that had odd shapes.

Bro I don't like Shallan ether but there are topics about 50 pages long debating what's good and what's bad about her and there are good points on both sides I would suggest skimming over them

He did do some obfuscating of the truth though OB which probably weekend him for a time but we won't see that because of the time jump.

he's gonna get rased by bridge 4.

something to do with the dawn shards though I can't see how.

fair enough but I still can't help but think that this will come into play somehow later in the series.

I agree that Jah Kevad will kick him out but what I am saying is that Dalinar speaking for all the radiants (he said We) won't be able to act at all against people in Kharbranth and they will make trouble because they can walk around with impunity from the radiants and the armys Dalinar leads. Think about how the Stormfather sees oaths and how when Dalinar said we it could make problems.

Mr.T was talking about Kharbranth I think that Kharbranth will be used by Odium as a rallying point for the humans who fight the supporters of Honor. (or well another point other than the places he already has.)

Is it just me or will this come back to bite Dalinar? Do you think we will see a Kal and Syl situation with Dalinar and the Stormfather or something worse or nothing at all? I think this will almost definitely come up later and cause Dalinar trouble especially with the Stormfathers view on oaths.

I think he was talking about the first few actual chapters, not the prologue.

I have a hope and a prediction that we will see Kal hit the 4th ideal at the very beginning of book 4. The reason I think we might see this is because in one of his recent streams (I can't find the WoB for it) Brandon said that some of the beta readers were surprised that book 4 opened with an action scene but I think he wouldn't have mentioned it if there wasn't more to it and my hope is that we will see Kal hit the 4th at one of the first chapters and that was why a lot of the readers was surprised.

I was thinking more specifically what would happen to a computer if you tried to soulcast it and you gave the computer commands not to change could a soulcaster change the code in the computer or what impressions would you get form a computer with a good AI system in it.

they would get bombarded by heavy artillery guns that would scare the hell out of them and break a charge their horses would freak out at the sound of guns too.

I could take a mistborn with an aluminum pistol or rifle and a good ambush.

I don't like her either and agree that she has a sick and wrong view of the world but she is not part of the shadow and if the founder of their "great empire" told her that hating aes sedai and women who can chanal was directly connected to the dark one then she would have no reason to keep the A'dam up and would have all the reasons in the world to stop it may be slow but I think she would come to the conclusion that the A'dam has a direct connection to the shadow and would have to stop it. I can't imagen anyone arguing that just because something was started by the shadow doesn't mean it is wrong.

just make like 10 circles of 72 or as many as the aes sedai and asha'man can and have them just crush the Seanchean (have them men guiding so the aes sedai are not breaking the oaths). or just have teams of like 2 or 3 women and one man who would be able to overpower any of the Damane (if I am not mistaken the Seanchean cant even link at all because of the A'dam). I also think that over time a lot of the people living in Seanchean areas will go to the aes sedai to get tested before the Seanchean can take them. just, in general, they don't have men and can't link remember how it is mentioned like 50 times how the greatest things were achieved with men and women and also the fact that they cant link would defeat them eventually because if you look at the breaking that was one of the reasons the world wasn't destroyed (that women can link) and the Seanchean can't link because of the A'dam and who knows maybe hawkwing told tuon that his hatred of aes sedai was because of Ishamaels compulsion (I hope he did that would stop a lot of problems and wars).

I've thought about the drinking part too @Weltall.
