Honorless

Welcome to the Shard! Are you using the novels as texts in your school?

Told you so! At least she's stopped calling Wyndle Voidbringer now

Current theory is that Ash is going to become a Dustbringer

Natural lifespan or indefinite, there's no specific upper limit as far as we know

There are 3 ways to look at this: And well, I can't give you any numbers as I don't have the books with me but I can tell you where to look 1) Szeth's revival by Nale was not perfect, he was almost too late and as a result Szeth has a Cognitive afterimage trailing behind him. As Kelsier showed us, people's Cognitive selves don't linger long in the Cognitive. You can linger somewhat longer if you're Invested. A Sliver could stay on as a Cognitive Shadow indefinitely or near indefinitely. 2) Spiritwebs themselves can linger in the Spiritual Realm for a really long time. Szeth's screams come from there as confirmed by both Nale & Wyndle, so did Evi's forgiveness to Dalinar, confirmed by Brandon. 3) This answer is the closest to what you're asking: physical age is something that is noted in the Spiritweb. Holding a lot of Investiture can be used to lengthen one's lifespan, but one will feel the weight of their years if their Investiture is taken away; most forms of immortality in the Cosmere involve tricking the Spiritweb. As to your question, if healing is activated beforehand, most likely yes, perhaps short of a beheading (which would result in a cessation of brain activity fast enough that maintaining the healing going should be very improbable). We see Renarin surviving getting squished and Shallan getting stabbed in the face. TLR could also survive an atrocious amount of damage.

I'd assume you'd see either the original Ashravan or a different possible version of their post-Soulstamp self. Malatium grants the ability to see either who another person was in the past, or who they could have become if they had made different choices. Seeing a corpse sounds closer to a retroactive version of Sak's Aviar abilities. We do have this hint, with gold:

Hello Aegis, welcome to the Shard!

Welcome to the Shard! Yeah, the username problem is real, far too often all the good ones are already taken. Or you simply can't think of anything. It happens.

Not me but saw these over on Discord: Stormwights. Stormstriders? Shardplate was made through Soulcasting... ...since there's no spren here, nor are there the Parsh

Let's start with magic then Magic in the Cosmere functions as conversion between matter, energy and Investiture. Our world (supposedly?!) only has matter and energy but the Cosmere also has Investiture, which facilitates conversions between the three. You can see Investiture as fuel or potential energy. Investiture also connects the three realms: There are three planes of existence in the Cosmere: the Physical Realm, the Cognitive Realm (the realm of the mind, perception, where beings like the spren & "ghosts", or Cognitive Shadows dwell) and the Spiritual Realm (the realm of the soul, where space-time is one, everything is connected, this is where souls aka Spiritweb or sDNA exists and where the Shards dwell. The Shards are, simply put, gods. They are pure Investiture, with an Intent. That means that they want to use Investiture oriented towards a certain theme. All Investiture is divided up amongst the Shards. But it wasn't always so. There was once a being called Adonalsium, who created the Cosmere. Shards typically require Vessels: people who hold the Shard's power and direct it. The original Vessels took up the power of Adonalsium after an event known as the Shattering. There are 16 Shards: Preservation & Ruin, gods of Scadrial (Mistborn) Honor, Cultivation and Odium, gods of Roshar (the Stormlight Archives) Devotion and Dominion, gods of Sel (Elantris and the Emperor's Soul) Ambition, god of Threnody (Shadows for Silence in the Forests of Hell) Endowment, god of Nalthis (Warbreaker) and others of whom we know very little as of now. Hoid knew all of these original Vessels and was present at the Shattering.

@Karger what are the names of the Orders in this one?

Iä! Iä! Salad fhtagn!

I don't really like the Kaladin x Syl ship. It makes me uncomfortable.

Too OP, plz nerf

So, how is the magic system different here?

The idea of the self-proclaimed uber masculine ultra chad soldier Herald partaking in the Vorin feminine art of reading is lolz

This, right? So apparently Soulcasting wasn't a single Surge but available to all the Orders, who weren't merely associated with one of the Ten Essences but could Soulcast said Essence? Could you go into more detail with the magic system? No. Just no. Oh right, no Adolin PoVs in this one, or rather Aredor Enjoying the huge windfall of Jasnah PoVs?

Jasnah x Taln?Eww

Ah... Hmm...

A Vessel has a say in how to interpret the Shard's Intent, though eventually the latter would overpower the former

Literally anything by Sechi!

I'm not entirely sure if I want to read this, tbh. I couldn't get through the Merin PoV chapters when they were released on his site. I'm just leafing through this... huh, so this is where "the man who calls himself Taln" came from.

Look forward to Mythwalker review when you finish it!
