  1. Speaking of the Scadrian system, Aagal Uch & Aagal Nod don't sound French or German like FE & Post Catacendre names do, including South Scadrian. They must've been named pre-Final Empire. (or at least they definitely don't sound French, I don't know any German word except guten tag, schmetterling & krankenwagen, so)
  2. Because Dalinar was getting maneuvered by Odium via Nergaoul to be his champion as both she & Odium confirm in OB
  3. I don't think Cultivation would put that many eggs into one basket
  4. In regards to Odium calling himself Passion: As we saw with Ruin's Vessel, Ati and Preservation's Vessel, Leras, with time the Shard's Intent would start molding the Vessel's mind. The Vessel can influence how the Shardic Intent is expressed or filtered but it's a tug of war that they'll inevitably lose
  5. Welcome to the Shard @DuffMcGruff! What are your favourite Orders of the Knights Radiant, also Allomantic and Feruchemical metals? Who's your favourite and least favourite character so far?
  6. The Heralds' Oathpact was binding, they just didn't break it completely. Why would oaths of Adonalsium be stricter than Honor's, who's a part of Adonalsium specifically concerned with such things? The Letters and The Traveler could be taken to indicate that collecting Investiture isn't something that Hoid is doing just to accumulate power and he has a reason behind these acquisitions though
  7. Why wouldn't Oaths work on humans? It would require manipulation of the Spiritweb. Nahel Bonds do it to a degree, The Nightwatcher can probably do it too
  8. Some bird species on Earth have really complex reproductive organs and tracts due to gender wars. Female ducks in particular have dead ends in their cloacas. Perhaps the Aviar house & culture them in an organ like that. The appendix is another option, it already serves a similar function as might be needed for a hypothetical organ to house the parasitic worm. The appendix serves as a training ground for the immune system so as to prevent self-destructive auto-immune responses as well as a helpful bacteria culture. On the other hand, birds having a cloaca (both reproductive & excretory) isn't really necessary for this kind of relationship to evolve. Birds on Earth usually ingest worm eggs while foraging in an infected area, which the Perpendicularity on Patji is. The worms probably get nourishment from the birds' gut, typical parasite stuff. Either or both would be interesting really, since there are so many types of Aviar (and Mainlander birds, apparently)
  9. Beyond that, we see Nightblood sated and drowsy when Dalinar does his Unification trick in OB, that's just a part of Honor's Investiture.
  10. I would assume so, otherwise Perpendicularities would form naturally on those planets. Most Shardworlds don't have a lot of free Investiture flowing around, they are considered highly Invested, yet that power is a small portion of a Shard's Investiture.
  11. I think some of the Surges could be extra-sensory in nature, like Cohesion & Illumination which might allow one to map out their surroundings. I would assume same goes for Surges which can access Shadesmar, as that realm is more about perception than sensory organs. Gravitation could be used that way too maybe, but that would require ungodly amount of finesse
  12. You are officially a guy that can read! :lol:

      Oh oh. Yeah. Well actually I think all ardents are allowed to read but stormwardens are the only ones who can do math. 

      So yayyy math ♥️♥️.

      Oh come now dude. Every culture is messed up one way or another. Just take a look at class inequality and token opportunities for social mobility which sigzil reflects on in one of his pov chapters in OB

      Yes well I take exception to Vorin. I'm a man but I have no interest in getting conscripted to prove my manliness and I definitely don't like the idea of being illiterate.

      Azir is very similar to India, conflating sexuality with gender presentation.

      Yeah. Illiteracy is really wierd. I think I would take poverty over it anyday. But idk...oh well. Hopefully I will never have to make that choice

  13. Neither of them are weak Investiture wise
  14. Does no one open the Unpublished Works forum? Come on! 

  15. The Highstorms are the biggest concentration of Honor's Investiture that we've seen, and that is how Perpendicularities form, when power pools. We've already got confirmation that Highstorms are Realmatically connected across all 3 Realms, again it matches the description of what Perpendicularities are: concentration of Investiture punching a hole through the Realms
  16. The Perpendicularities on Threnody are unstable and "morbid" (possibly referring to the Shades, perhaps they form when the Shades converge on someone) according to Khriss
  17. Brandon probably read up on different personality types classifications for the Orders, so it's possible. The chart itself is based on the Tree of Life of the Kabbalah
  18. Welcome to the Shard!
  19. Oh people see weird things in the Highstorms all the time. See Shallan's chapter where she & Adolin are at a restaurant/storm shelter iirc and Dalinar's flashbacks when he goes to get a spoon. Kaladin sees them on the Shattered Plains. The Sharders call them Stormstriders from the chapter title where Kaladin sees them. found some topics discussing them: https://amp.reddit.com/r/Stormlight_Archive/comments/7grf49/oathbringer_no_one_seems_to_be_talking_about/
  20. Shezwan sauce! Minotaur! Bougainvillea! ...I think I got all of them
  21. Ysera looking at Cenarius, really cool. She's a fancy looking dragon! No Malorne though 9/10
  22. Nope! Suggestion: use clue 4 to see which main character is this character's friend. It would become ridiculously easy
  23. So now I return with a vengeance
  24. The Middlefest Fair?
