Honorless

Renarin's ability to show people their idealized self could be of help here, we do see Kaladin reacting to it very positively.

Hi right backatcha and welcome to our humble madhouse!

Wrote as I read It's out enough, I was just expecting a moment, you know? Where Adolin and Renarin find out

Oh yeah, he mentioned that. It's very strange to try to wrap my head around. Kaladin and Sigzil have both met Hoid too, and Rock's reaction is like... normal, like he and his friends met a god and acted casual

1) Oh look! Adolin, unlike a certain someone, isn't a terrible friend 2) A winehouse called Jez’s Duty, lol 3) oh look! A certain someone's other personas are better friends 4) This is the most that I've liked Adolin or Shallan 5) goddammit now I see Shallan, Veil & Radiant as different people. I'll be very sad to see them go if Shallan ever becomes just Shallan 6) Dalinar's autobiography is out?! That's it? That's all the reaction from Adolin and Renarin, sigh, right, they're responsible people, so less overt drama, hope we get enough PoVs from all three of them thinking on this, as well as Navani and Jasnah's opinions on the same 7) Adolin is becoming more Edgedancer-y after all... (go learn to write and give Roshar psychology and fashion books!) 8) oh so that's where the Rock novella comes in? 9) Uh... if they throw Rock in the "Ocean", we might get Worldhopper Rock someday... 10) wonder if Rock met Hoid, what did/will he say if he did/does?

Oo nice Kholin warcamp on the Shattered Plains?

Welcome to the Shard!

I liked the book and would love to see a polished version of it someday soon. As for characters, Raeth and Darro were good too but I didn't like D'na.

I think the trend of being Mistborn (all) or Misting (one) as well as Full Feruchemist (all) or Ferring (one) holds true for Twinborn, when the powers are inherited naturally rather than acquired via Hemalurgy.

Not a lot of people there anymore, or guards

Welcome to the Shard! Not a lot of activity going on here right now, but tomorrow should be crazy as the next Rhythm of War preview chapter releases! Here's the thread you can follow that up on:

Welcome to the Shard! If you hang around for a bit you'll notice that we do not wait for the next book patiently either. As for White Sand, you can just go to Brandon's website and register for the newsletter, you'll be sent the latest newsletter also containing a link to download White Sand prose

So... the 1,000,000th post wins?

Ah, welcome, welcome! Hopefully you can meet him again once the crisis comes to an end.

you people!

Dalinar looks very handsome!

Southern Frostlands, iirc was where the Stick meme happened

You can get your hands on Aether of Night, an unpublished work of Brandon's by requesting it here, on this thread: You could also sign up for Brandon's newsletter on his site (https://www.brandonsanderson.com/). You'll get the latest newsletter with White Sand prose in it! You'll also get the Syl interlude from Rhythm of War, if I recall correctly that was in the latest issue. You can also get various other free fiction from his site like Way of Kings Prime.

I've always been for beyond the Cosmere, beyond Adonalsium theories, so I think you've made a solid argument for a finite Cognitive Realm but not much of one for a round Cognitive Realm. Let's see if I can help with that. The Cognitive Realm is shaped by the collective consciousness of the inhabitants of the Cosmere. It is composed of and thus bounded by Investiture, presumably. We have no indication if other Adonalsium-lite beings might be out there, other... energies equivalent to Investiture, or if the space beyond the Cosmere is completely Investiture null. We and inhabitants of Cosmere don't know what things are like beyond the Cosmere. Maybe the nearby galaxies are the cytoverse and Reckonersverse, who knows? But how would one visualize something that they can't reach? On Earth, a common analogy for that across many different cultures was the heavens and the stars. So the Cosmere is surrounded by a multitude of galaxies, other worlds... and they are completely unreachable. They are bounded, on every side, there are worlds out there, but beyond their reach, how might they visualize this? A sky full of stars that they are looking up from their world, the entire Cosmere, surrounded by the universe, and thus their own little corner of the universe is visualized as a sphere.

It's possible that the sexual dimorphism among the Parshendi is also related to their Forms, going by the description of Hariel, though that was from the point-of-view of a Parshendi character herself. There's apparently not much of a height or musculature difference between the two genders in the modern Listeners, probably due to the Forms but among the Fused Hariel's description does stand out looking back it now, or maybe I'm reading too much into this.
