Honorless

For Allomancy push/pull pair I would take Atium and Malatium if I could. If not then Chromium and Nicrosil (assuming I'd be in era 2 Scadrial). If I'm still on Earth, I'd prefer Gold (because we all second guess our choices anyway, might as well know) and Electrum (aka poor man's Atium), but dang it those are costly! So Zinc and Brass might be better. For Feruchemy push/pull pair... this one's more difficult to choose. I want Gold but not Electrum, so let's put that aside. Zinc and Brass could be useful for my strange, strange brain and this strange, strange weather. Iron and Steel are tempting too, while Copper and Bronze are what all students dream of. Cadmium and Bendalloy are also very nice, one could be a lifesaver in emergencies, the other as well, in addition to being a nice for uh... guilty eating. There's too much to choose from! For all pushing/all pulling Allomantic metals I would go with Pushing metals for Electrum and Bendalloy primarily, but also for Brass and Steel which I think I'd be more comfortable with than their counterparts, Nicrosil and Seeker seem more suited to me as well. I don't think this classification fits Feruchemical abilities so passing on that. For Allomantic quartet, I'd go with... hmm... another difficult choice. Bendalloy kind of scares me, Gold is less useful, Aluminium and Duralumin are significantly more useful for full Mistborn but the thought of a Duralumin enhanced Nicroburst is quite exciting! I'll go with Enhancement quartet. For Feruchemical quartet, I choose... why is this so difficult!? Some are so useful for both storing and tapping, some are very useful but storing them would not be a great experience and the metals seem mismatched in the quartets! I actually can't pick for this one... but I can tell you that I'd be happy to have any of them and jealous of any that I don't!

That last oath was beautiful, Karg! It's weird that Elsecallers & Truthwatchers are also among the Orders we still know so little about given that two of the main cast belong to these Orders, Jasnah and Renarin, plus two more for Truthwatchers (Ym and the Stump). We know that they were scholarly and their Divine Attributes. We know that the Elsecallers were prime liaisons to Shadesmar and that the Truthwatchers were secretive. Both did vital research for the Radiants. Can you also put them on your to-do list?

Yeah, yeah, I got that That's why I said it's frustrating. That was a cliffhanger ending that we won't get back to for years. Taldain's Investiture systems are the among the ones we know the least about. We know more than just their effect but not enough. Ugh!

Then I have no problem with this theory Here's a WoB I found that might help further corroborate it:

A stronger Connection to Preservation should only give you better access to his Investiture, I think. The ability to burn metals is inherent to a person's sDNA, which was granted by Preservation as a Shard and creator of Scadrial. Enhanced Connection should give more Investiture and thus more power but I don't think that alone will fiddle with your Spiritweb. Investiture is just Investiture, the metals are the coding to direct it and the capacity to burn metal to achieve that is in the Spiritweb. I don't think Connection alone can turn a Misting into a Mistborn.

I don't think you can reach anywhere close to achieving the kind of thing you're describing with just tapping at full capacity. Compounding is the only way you can get close to that level. I mean if you're considering possibly turning them into into Mistborn. I don't know... if the initial assumption of your theory regarding Connection to Preservation holds, then I think yes, you should be able to boost their Allomantic ability.

Let's compile what we know of Trelagism and Trellism. 1) Trelagism was a religion on Scadrial during its Classical era, before the Lord Ruler's Ascension. It was practiced by the Nelazan who lived close to the poles. They mapped out the various astronomical bodies visible from Scadrial. 2) They believed that Trell and Nalt were brothers. The latter was jealous of the former and cast his single burning eye (the sun) upon the lands to block out the Thousand Eyes of Trell (the stars) 1) Trellism is the belief in Trell. Is associated with a new metal which is described as silvery with distinctive, dark red spots. It has only been seen used Hemalurgically so far: on Kandra and to create Chimeras 2) Several members of the Set, in both high and low positions, are followers of Trellism, and the organization itself may exist for the purpose of serving Trell. Bleeder was also turned by Trell. 3) Trell has their own Faceless Immortals, who are described as having red eyes. A red miasma is how Harmony chose to represent Trell to Wax in BoM. They are also associated with "men of gold and red, bearers of the final metal" 4) There seems to be a strong element of anti-establishmentarianism in Trellism, namely: freedom from Harmony and social justice from the central government in Elendel or more broadly the Basin Now the most popular theory (and the one that I subscribe to) Trell is Autonomy or one of her Avatars 1) The stated motives of Trell's followers align well with Autonomy's Intent 2) White Sand spoilers 3) Trelagism's reverence for stars aligns well with Autonomy. She seems to currently be inhabiting Taldain's star. 4) The long day/night cycles experienced by the Nelazan is reminiscent of Darkside Dayside division of Taldain 5) Autonomy is said to have multiple Avatars. There is a thematic resonance with worshiping a multitude of astronomical bodies 6) Autonomy's star might be visible from Scadrial. 7) Trell is a Shard we know. It isn't Endowment. Honor, Ambition, Devotion and Dominion are Splintered. This only leaves Cultivation, Odium and Autonomy. The former two are embroiled in the conflict on Roshar. 8) Autonomy is stated to have a habit of interfering on other worlds by Khriss Trell is Odium 1) Has a track record of attacking other Shards. Odium is known to fear Harmony. 2) The break between Stormlight front 5 and back 5, during which the Wax and Wayne era books take place 3) Is known to corrupt Investiture (red) 4) Similarities with religions on Roshar 5) the agents of Trell align with Odium's Intent. 6) Alongside purple and black, gold is a colour associated with Odium. "Men of gold" might also refer to 7) Odium's forces comprise of several beings that may pose as Trell's Faceless Immortals: Both Autonomy and Odium 1) May have worked together in the past to Splinter Honor, and before that Devotion and Dominion, the former sounds like an opposite to Odium, the latter to Autonomy. 2) possible red herring in a broadsheet in era 2 "Vote for Passion, Vote for Freedom" 3) the break between Stormlight front 5 and back 5

As Marasi showed us, it could be great for law enforcement. Aside from that, it could also be used in an emergency to give rescue services more time or in medicine for triage.

Allomantic Duralumin doesn't do anything but enhance the metals the Allomancer is burning alongside it. That's why Aluminum and Duralumin Mistings were called gnats. The ability would still be useless to the Twinborn. It does seem like a usable hack for a Fullborn though. I'm not sure you can effectively Connect yourself enough with Preservation via Compounding F-Duralumin for it to turn you into a Mistborn. I don't think Connection to the Shard is all it takes to use the magic system they fuel. You would still need the ability to burn the other metals in your own Spiritweb.

I think my feelings on this were already expressed quite well in the topic "Liberal Alethi" by @Shaukan-son-Hasweth but since that topic has been inactive for a year now, I'll put my thoughts here. I think there might be an in-world explanation for what looks like a strange role reversal. Honor was active on Roshar, he interacted with the Radiants who later based themselves in Alethkar. If he was open-minded and taught the Knights to be the same, it all makes sense. This acceptance in the face of rigidity elsewhere might be a holdover from the times of the Silver Kingdoms, much like the Alethi's more martial inclinations.

Thanks guys! Special thanks to @Ixthos for the extract, I'd missed it completely. I thought it was an intentional omission on Brandon's part and had so many theories as to why, oh well!

We have slightly more info on the Stonewards, including a prototype possible candidate for their Second Ideal (I will stand where others fall) , so go for them first. Willshapers seem a bit more complicated. But don't be too late on posting one for them, next book is about them after all, don't let Brandon beat you to the punch!

I don't think Allomantic strength depends on the amount of metal or where it is located in the body. It's in the person's sDNA.

@Ookla the Prolific can you do one for the Willshapers and Stonewards as well?

Hey, @The Sovereign, 'grats! Pick the next question!

I've edited the above quote for clarification: Shadows for Silence in the Forests of Hell was published in a separate anthology (called Dangerous Women) before single release or being collected in the Arcanum Unbounded. (The same goes for Sixth of the Dusk, which was published in the anthology Shadows Beneath) Okay, I'm considering the above mentioned possibilities safely discarded. This leaves us with four options, also stated above. The hints we have so far are: 1) The Ones Above travelled via the Physical Realm 2) Something prevents them from simply conquering or directly dominating the people of First of the Sun 3) It's unlikely that they would arrange for one of their own to choke and die. Faking one's death can be considered to be an ability present in the Ones Above or a subsection of the Ones Above

The only instance I can think of a Radiant specifically using their left hand is Shallan touching Re-Shephir

"I don't know what I am either. A bridgeman? A surgeon? A soldier? A slave? Those are all just labels. Inside, I'm me. A very different me than I was a year ago, but I can't worry about that, so I just keep moving and hope my feet take me where I need to go." - Kaladin "I seek the truth. Wherever it may be, whoever may hold it. That's who I am." - Shallan "I remembered what kind of spren I am. I bind things, Kaladin. I am honorspren. Spirit of oaths. Of promises. And of nobility" - Sylphrena "That was an illusion, a dream. I am that child who grew up in the shadows." - Vin "I am mountains that crush. I am waves that crash. I am storms that shatter. I am the end." - Ruin "I am emotion incarnate. I am the soul of the spren and of men. I am lust, joy, hatred, anger, and exultation. I am glory and I am vice. I am the very thing that makes men men" - Odium "I am … I was … God. The one you call the Almighty, the creator of mankind. And now I am dead. Odium has killed me. I am sorry" - Honor Edit: ninja'ed for Honor & Odium
