Honorless

A Venli fan! That's rare! Do read Emperor's Soul soon, it's great!

Welcome to the Shard! How did you discover Sanderson?

Kinda bored at home *shrugs*

Nope, since your guessed that, it would now be Navani

You're in luck

That would've been delicious and epic

Welcome to the Shard! If you had to pick one, which Sanderverse would you choose to live in?

Welcome to the Shard! Haha, we're all nerds here, no need to be nervous. Hey do you mind saying the phrase, "my life to yours, my breath become yours"?

Welcome to the Shard! Remember, don't visit forums for books you haven't completed or you'll get spoiled! Make use of the Coppermind wiki and the Arcanum collection of words of Brandon for your videos, they can help a lot!

Hmm, I think that's more of mark of how rare it is to see a fantasy setting evolve from its usually medieval time period into modern time period

Surgebinding, in some form, already existed, it was apparently the cause of Ashyn's destruction but the beginning of the Nahel Bond specifically came after the Heralds. Ishar is said to have forced them into an organization, possibly referring to the Knights Radiant (as a social institute of Surgebinders). We also see Taln's reaction to Radiants. Stormfather mentions that the appearance of Surgebinders surprised Honor. We don't know whether Honor reworked anything about Surgebinding, and if he did what did he change. The Surges are natural manifestations on Roshar, so is their arrangement, according to Brandon. He fuelled the magic system anyway and thus could regulate it. We don't how or why Honor/humans switched sides towards one another, some fighting for the other side isn't anything noteworthy, it happened in history all the time.

Your point?

Depends on whether or not you only consider Asian and African colonialism or would you also consider American and Australian colonialism

Welcome to the Shard! Don't worry about it too much, just explore the forums, you'll get the hang of it in no time! And if there's anything, just ask! We'll be happy to help you.

They simply didn't know of it. The Singers seemed to capture non-sapient spren within their Gemhearts to attain their Forms. Why would sapient spren want to do that? There was simply no need. It was only after observing the Honorblades that the spren tried to emulate the powers granted by them, and so the Nahel Bond, and the Knights Radiant came to be, which we were told surprised Honor and the Heralds.

That was a great read, and in retrospect it's strange that I never thought of the Rosharan humans as an invasive species on Roshar's ecology. I would note however, that being an invasive species doesn't preclude one from being colonists.

Yeah, I read that scene as him creating a high pressure area to part the Highstorm. Many others had and continue to come to the same conclusion independently or after research & verification, so I'm fairly confident in that assessment Yeah, Windrunners seem fairly Air Bender-y. They can even beat Guru Laghima in levitating, albeit by cheating via the Surge of Gravitation. Adhesion just seems to manifest in the Physical Realm via the same phenomenon by which one can make a cup stick to their face by placing it over their mouth and sucking in the air. It probably also has a relation with Windspren being Honorspren's cousins and seem to be the Windrunners' secondary spren (or so many of us here theorize)

Dustbringer! That's rare! I'm a Truthwatcher/Willshaper

This has come up before, I don't think that the Nahel Bond capable spren couldn't Bond with Singers but rather that they didn't. Why would they? They were fighting on the opposite sides. When the Nahel Bond was discovered, Honor had long since switched to humanity's side/humanity to Honor's side, the Heralds had accepted the Oathpact, and the Desolations had already started.

@Rutherfox, new members can't @anyone, it's a measure against spamming. You'll be out of the spam filter soon though, don't worry! Have you taken the official Knights Radiant quiz? Which Order did you get?

Man, I'd love to hear more about Cosmerian cuisine... We've really only got anything from Roshar!

1) Why, the theories, of course! 2) I am on the Shard more than I am on social media... 3) meeting @PrinceGenocide on the Shard! Sometimes it's nice to just feel down with company without them feeling compelled to haul you up, isn't it? P.S why is it always that I meet people with similar tastes to myself online or while I'm travelling? Would it kill the world to make some of my mates interested in reading?!

@Rutherfox, what is your opinion on Gaz?
