Honorless

Delegation, that's actually a good argument for the Fourth Ideal

@Eternal Khol, so how do the unpublished books stack up in your opinion? Also, in comparison to Brandon's first published novel, Elantris

It looks like hardcover *exerpt Sorry, tried to resist grammar nazi instincts but just couldn't

We did veer a bit off-topic, didn't we? But hey! Other Orders of Knights Radiant have potential too! Final off-topic question, I promise, but does anyone remember when Kaladin started using the term Lashing? Was it for narrative purposes, did he learn it from Szeth, did Teft tell him, did the name come to him instinctively?

You got it printed?

Well, yes, those were his exact words but the complete explanation included that to use Division, you needed to Bond your own spren. Apparently Skybreaker Squires could not use that Surge. This is why keep telling you to write complete sentences! Did any of the other Radiants (as in, from other Orders) give any indication that they could see the glowing shadow too? Aside from Lift, who as noted, has other things going for her

What exactly are you trying to say here? That spren could see Szeth? Yes, duh. Besides, the descriptions of the Ideals & the powers are what Szeth was told by Ki, who has no reason to deceive Szeth.

First of the First?

Did you mean to tag Chaos? Also, he checks up this forum pretty regularly, no need to tag him

Hoid said that he was specifically trying to hide from an old friend. I would say that no, so far at least, Odium doesn't know that Hoid is on Roshar. But he definitely will come to know eventually as Hoid becomes more active in the conflict. Wasn't Brandon looking forward to writing the next Hoid epilogue?

Eat excrement to be able to transform into the creature whose excrement it is. Transformation is not permanent but some characteristics: mental or physical may remain if the magic is practiced frequently. Eg: eat a goat pellet, have the ability to transform into a goat, specifically of the same breed as the goat whose pellet you swallowed. After the transformation has ended, some temporary mental or physical effects may remain, for a time. But slowly & surely, if the practitioner keeps using that transformation again & again, characteristics take a deeper root. In the case of the goat practitioner, it could take the form of growing horns or hooves, multiple stomach chambers and need to eat grass or worse a compulsion to eat grass without the ability to completely digest it. In case that a practitioner specifically utilizes different transformations each time, the common characteristics between the animals start appearing. Regardless, too much use can wear down a practitioner's human intelligence. These effects don't necessarily have to be negative, entranced strength or senses or agility or longevity may also be achieved. But negative effects are just as likely: skittishness, desire to eat only grass or insects or a need to hunt, lack of inhibitions or becoming more easy to anger, loss of colour vision, animal instincts, inability to read human behavioural or social cues, different muscular structure, horns, inhuman eye colours, cloven hooves, tails, scales, body hair, etc. Staying in a transformed state too long might aggravate these problems, you might also get stuck or forget you were ever human or both. offering of food & drinks

Monody? Elegy? Coronach? wait, that last one's technically Scots Gaelic

You're welcome! Confirmed (in books or via WoBs, not asking for further specification for free) or assumed?

That was a good one

I look at those two terms in a completely different way, might just be me though. I suggest checking in both reputable dictionaries and lingo dictionaries to be clear about different possible connotations

there's a fair bit more but it does have that as a major narrative element

Huh, I'm completely against calling Kelsier 'evil', whatever tendencies he has are a product of his time and truly horrendous amount of trauma

There might be other... gods/entities? beyond... the territory/playground/experiment? of Adonalsium

Stormlight does sort of count, doesn't it? But it's still more seeing from the perspectives of both sides of the conflict rather than a single credible villain as a point-of-view character On that note, Dragonsteel might count, when it comes out

I was thinking of how the Cosmere, whether it was created by Adonalsium or not, is still a small cluster of stars in the vastness of space

Limited Omnipotence

Roshar?

Have you heard of the Dark One?

Duralumin Mistings have it even worse. There will be even fewer situations than Aluminium where it can be useful.
