Guess That Cosmere Character! Forum Edition!
Honorless replied to Kidpen's topic in Forum Games & Random Stuff
Huh, not Dalinar Taravangian maybe, no wait, Lift! -
Nope! 1) This place is not easy to reach 2) This place has been used as a refuge 3) This place is home to rare creatures 4) This place is quite warm

Investiture is magical energy, basically. If someone or something is Invested, they are suffused with magic. Investing would mean putting Investiture in something or someone, filling it/them with magic

Yolen is hidden, according to Khriss, and she hasn't been able to find it, so far at least. Though judging by the letters in the epigraphs, Yolen's not completely cut off from Worldhoppers' reach

Oh that's a really good guess! But I'm afraid not! 1) This place is not easy to reach 2) This place has been used as a refuge 3) This place is home to rare creatures

Starting off with two clues 1) This place is not easy to reach 2) This place has been used as a refuge

Looks at clues 5 & 6 the Azimir Oathgate!

Urteau?

Kaladin is treated unfairly throughout Words of Radiance
Honorless replied to Torol Sadeas's topic in Stormlight Archive
Not exactly my point. I'm a bit exhausted of these topics, tbh so I'm not gonna rehash the whole thing for the umpteenth time. Hmm, I think you can find all these old topics easily enough by visiting king of nowhere, ILuvHats or Gray's profile (I have way too many posts for even me to sort through), Gray also went through the whole thing in a Shardcast, iirc she explained it as the right to anger, the episode should also be easy enough to find. -
Sooo... What's with thaylen eyebrows?
Honorless replied to KaladinWorldsinger's topic in Stormlight Archive
I think I got all of that, except this part right here: "so they cultivated the eyebrows rather than trimmed them." How the hell did they cultivate their eyebrows?! By not trimming?! Are you telling me that there are people out there who need to trim their eyebrow hair when it gets too long!?! -
Kaladin is treated unfairly throughout Words of Radiance

OB ch 70~ish, just scroll back a bit, see Kaladin and Bridge 4 talking about Azure's unit and Tenners -
Pits of Hathsin?

The Shattered Plains?

A Nicroburst? Hmm... no, I don't think so. You're stealing Allomantic ability, not raw Investiture.

Just the opposite actually, iirc! Hoid (who else, lol?) was surprised that his body regrew a head rather than his head regrowing a new body If it's two separate powers, I think you can steal them at more or less normal power. Seran had a... system where the victim was placed above the recipient so the spikes went through the victim's body and into the recipient's. That seems to me like a system to facilitate stealing multiple attributes from the same victim. Edit: nope, it was for efficiency, to reduce Hemalurgic Decay (here's a WoB explaining that:

Why Singers have such a hard time becoming Radiants-Theory
Honorless replied to Letryx13's topic in Stormlight Archive
Possibly! We didn't see any spren in that scene, after all! Or just spren bonds of a different kind than Radiant bonds (though not necessarily their Gemheart bonding thing) -
Kaladin is treated unfairly throughout Words of Radiance
Honorless replied to Torol Sadeas's topic in Stormlight Archive
Book 4 does seem to hint strongly at Dalinar and Kaladin stepping away from the frontlines. Building bridges between humans and Singers is only partially Kaladin's plotline, I would say. It seems to have moved to Venli & Leshwi & Rlain and possibly a joint effort by Bridge Four and the Listeners. And, idk, the way the Moash / Vyre plotline was handled, if this is going to be a thing. Even more than that, Brandon might literally want to stretch certain conflicts out for later eras (don't forget it's a story first and foremost, and one that is intended to go on for a long time, something as relatable irl as class struggle is probably going to be stretched out a bit). PS sorry if I come off as unenthusiastic about the subject, it's just that this discussion has come up a lot and I'm a bit exhausted. -

And then in Oathbringer, Bridge Four tells Kal "not all Lighteyes!"... just... completely missing the point and putting everything on him. And now the Lighteyes Darkeyes issue has pretty much completely been shoved under the carpet in face of the Greater Threat™ and narrative role of that conflict seems to have been passed onto human-Singer relations. I wonder what the point of so much focus on Darkeyes Lighteyes even was. -

Honorless replied to Letryx13's topic in Stormlight Archive
It's certainly possible! Not necessarily though, the stones could've been referring more to the Surges rather than spren bonds (which is how I read that scene). And there is, of course, the fact that the older spren, who would've known of the possibility of any kind of bonds with the Singers, are likely all Deadeyes after the Day of Recreance -
This is amazing! Great work! Also, I kind of want it to be the first icosahedron, the physics is handwavy already, might as well choose the coolest looking option!

Do Highly Invested Spiritwebs Naturally Develop Powers?
Honorless replied to Trusk'our's question in Cosmere Q&A
There are benefits to having higher amounts of innate Investiture: generally better health It is also possible that Heightening like effects occur from truly high concentrations of Investiture within a being.- 9 replies

Does Your Bio-Chromatic Breath Leak As You Age?
Honorless replied to Trusk'our's question in Cosmere Q&A
Or the leaking is another effect of aging, rather than the cause. (The cause seems to be that mortality is baked into the Spiritweb, as Brandon has confirmed that your soul knows it should age and the various forms of immortality, or agelessness if you want to be exact, involves a form of tricking the Spiritweb, and if that method is... interrupted, you typically don't just become mortal again, it seems, you experience all the aging you should've gone through).
