Honorless

My favourite characters are Kaladin, Shai. Least favourite characters are Hashal and Matal (from WoK, the Bridgecrews managers) and Dilaf the crazy priest from Elantris How did you discover Sanderson?

That is a meaning of 'to illuminate' . Transformation probably helps motivate people to transform themselves into better versions of themselves. Yeah, I assumed it was Illumination because it used light. It would probably make more sense if this used both surges: a cleansing light. (The Truthwatchers are Paladin+Cleric type, might as well get all the moves!)

Yeah, most of it is as I choose to think of them too. I've wondered if Bondsmith and Truthwatchers were placed at the centre of the Surgebinding chart because they were both good at the Spiritual side of their Surges. The Unification thing Dalinar did was because of Stormfather's status as a Cognitive Shadow of Honor, but the other uses of Spiritual Adhesion were probably inherent to the Order. We do see Renarin do something else with Illumination though when he banished the Thunderclast with light during the Battle at Thaylenah. Ym's spren too asked him to summon the light, iirc.

@Puris92, who's your least favorite character?

1) The Last Post Wins: The thread that made me stay. (I don't mean like, to win the last post, I mean the people who're usually active there). I also have a special fondness for The Nightwatcher thread. I'm in PM groups who never fail to cheer me up either! 2) the memes, of course. Some funny AMA responses too and almost every other Forum Games thread. Special mention to the goat thread. 3) I was being tag-teamed, someone I had previously argued against was the first to defend me (and they didn't think much of it either). I've gotten dog-piled multiple times, it's always nice to have someone come to your defence (special thanks to you three, you know who you are and if you don't there's PMs waiting for you!) 4) Old theory mega post by Argent about the whole situation on Roshar. Literally whole situation. And it still holds up. True Art. 5) I've said politically contentious stuff. Looking back, I'm proud of every stance I've taken, and the ones I wasn't proud of I've already apologized for. (if this makes you pause and want to say something, please DM me rather than derailing this thread) 6) I'm more of moving forward kind of person. If I had a time machine I'd redo/re-experience far more than just my time here (not trivializing my time here, but people who are physically there will always come first!)

Yes because they've been much more than just "snappy" It's quite clear that some of them are using this politically too judging by the slurs. They've pulled guns on people (though I suppose that is nothing new) Go see for yourselves

I'm referring to the police brutality against journalists, peaceful protesters, people who were distributing supplies to the protesters. There have been 100+ video recorded cases. Recently Trump did a photo op with a Bible and cleared out a church ground with tear gas to do so.

Welcome to the Shard! Ah, a worthy goal! All those mentions but no mentions of your favorites? Come on! Favourite books, moments, characters, magic system, metals, Radiant Orders!

Yeah but that responsibility falls on both sides. Especially the armed one. And the police responses have been recorded and uploaded uncensored, they do not paint a pretty picture.

Absolutely true but how you say it also matters a lot.

@NattyBo no! Hey the rest of us are here too, aren't we? Don't let a few people turn you off like that! I hope you stay or at least decide to come back one day!

No problem. I came to you for help on the same topic like 4 times didn't I?

I am aware, I have posted contentious content before. *sigh* I hope so too. Sorry about the pressure you guys, but this is far too important.

I too would like to express my discontent regarding this. Mod response here is underwhelming compared to what was brought against Pathfinder for much, much, much more minor offense

Comparing political views with fav food or bedroom activities is not okay, much less lives.

Wish it was the same where I am. Or heck, it would be nice if the discussion regarding racism wasn't all imported from elsewhere and more grounded in the people groups of our nations. Or lack of alienation and more acknowledgement of the attacks on Kenyan, Ugandan & Nigerian students. That would be nice too. * sigh *

It's the Black Lives Matter movement

I found this cursed WoB: oh well

We don't know. It doesn't sound like it would be easy, Dragons give the impression of being hyper Invested from the way Brandon talks about them, Hoid talks about Frost and the unpublished works. The constraints of Shardic capabilities is again something we know little about. Especially regarding Vessels' bodies.

minor correction here regarding terminology *Honorblades are Splinters

Okay so we can confirm that there was only one Bondsmith at the time: If it is The Stormfather like you're saying then that would mean that either A) the Sibling does not need to be Bonded in order to maintain Urithiru or B ) that might have been the reason why the Sibling was withdrawing (which I doubt, as it's so... obvious. Though it does sound like there has never been only one Bondsmith before) Also this: makes it sound more like an ongoing process And these provide the timing (during the False Desolation): Stormfather confirms that the Recreance happened soon after the end of the False Desolation when the Radiants discovered the cause of Ashyn's destruction and the real Voidbringers. He also says "no, you've hurt them enough" regarding the third Bondsmith spren Do we have any confirmation that it was The Stormfather who was Bonded during that time? Because it seems that the odds are stacked against him. If there is then I don't know what's happening
