    When in doubt, look to the Dawnshards There, he was pointing to a Dawnshard, that's the secret weapon that Leras buried

    The Elantrians are biologically... weird. They aren't Cognitive Shadows but they seem to be sustained by Investiture.

    Happy Birthday!

    Maybe Adonalsium foresaw things, maybe the colours of the moons changed to reflect the Shards, maybe how the Shards were perceived affected the colours of the moons, maybe there's something to the moons that attracted the specific Shards associated with their colours, who knows?

    1) Perception, I guess, they're not really breaking their Ideals. The only ones whose Ideals the situation might contradict are the Windrunners and well, they are rule-following & hierarchical, they were under direct orders from the Kholins so... We also see their commander, Kaladin's viewpoint, who was rather overbearing and didn't want to risk his fellow Windrunners on dangerous missions if he could avoid it (perfectly understandable) 2) Herdaz isn't really strategically important and well, it wasn't really a piece of land that anyone in power had any significant emotional attachment to. Lopen and his family had already gotten out, I'm assuming the same goes for Palona as we don't really hear from her 3) Because the spren weren't looking there, I'm assuming. All the Honorspren that were willing to Bond went with Kaladin and his Bridgemen. Most of the Reachers that were willing to Bond were apparently looking at Venli and the Listeners. Highspren were paying attention to Nale and his Skybreakers. The Inkspren and Ashspren weren't looking for a Bond. Cryptics, Mistspren, Cultivationspren aren't generally attracted by war-related virtues. The Peakspren are divided on the subject of Bonding, but some Stonewards might've arisen from the Herdazian conflict, I think, but we don't really hear about anything like that.

    Thankfully not too major a spoiler. Ooh, you've only posted in Forum Games and Random Stuff so far, so you've got 0 posts Greedy, turned against his own, functionally immortal sounds like Rashek

    Yeah Shallan, on the other hand... She's Cosmere-aware now. Knows of other Shardworlds, other magics, that travel between them is possible, has expressed interest in it too and has made a deal with Kalak to study off-world stuff. Jasnah is also Cosmere-aware, courtesy of Hoid, as is Navani now, thanks to Raboniel. Kaladin and Adolin, not so much. If the Vorin had a better attitude towards education, they'd have definitely figured stuff out by now, they're more than smart enough but they're not consolidating what they've been told. I was very frustrated by that.

    I don't think Bonds or Dawnshards are inheritable. Bonds, at least, are confirmed transferable though. Dawnshards might just become inactive if the current host dies.
  11. Honorless
    Um, not really? Even much later, with Hoid, when he was telling him the story of the dragon and the dog, he wondered if it was set in Shinovar.

    ? Yes, the landscape was changed, that's how the perpendicularity was moved
  13. Honorless
    Was he? He was told a lot of things repeatedly by a lot of Worldhoppers but he didn't really connect the dots, He didn't seem to get it
  14. Honorless
    Perhaps Leras' secret weapon? Who knows A lot of important Scadrian things seemed to have been located in the Terris mountains: the people with access to Feruchemy, the Well of Ascension aka Preservation's Perpendicularity and Ruin's Pool. Would Lerasium, like Atium, have been produced near its Shard's Perpendicularity? If so, wouldn't it have moved with the Perp?

    A Shard of War would be very bad news for the rest of the Cosmere

    Nightblood consumes all three aspects actually, Physical, Cognitive and Spiritual (and it's why some people in-world believe Nightblood doesn't just kill a person but obliterates them, so they can't go to the Beyond), just like Shardblades cut on all three Realms. It's why a fully drawn Nightblood turns it's victims' bodies into black smoke. The confusion in-world regarding which part is the soul: the Cognitive mind or the Spiritweb is part of the point, I think. The Cognitive part is what may become a Cognitive Shadow (but are they really the same person or Investiture copying that person?) or disappear/go into the Beyond, Spiritwebs linger on in the Spiritual Realm long after a person dies, as long as there is some Connection to them, it is them whose voices people in the Cosmere hear from beyond the grave. Spiritwebs can be interacted with by various magics, from Spiritual Connection via the Surge of Adhesion available to Bondsmiths, via Hemalurgy, via Soulstamps, etc. The Cognitive part can also be interacted with. We've gotten some hints towards that that's how mental powers like influencing emotions might work, though note this is not explicitly confirmed. Soulcasting also involves using the Cognitive aspect of people/objects. Magics from Yolen heavily made use of the Cognitive. Since, storing Connection and Identity is possible, metalminds can store parts of the Spiritweb. Storing plain Investiture is also possible, but we don't know if you can just... store a person's entire Spiritweb or Cognitive aspect in a metalmind, seems kinda weird.

    Yeah, the artists we have here are awesome!

    Huh, Nightblood having a Dawnshard... perhaps the Destroy Dawnshard that Jerrick seemed to have in Dragonsteel? Nightblood being the Dawnshard might also fulfill the WoB about one Dawnshard not being like the rest. I don't know about Kaladin being a Dawnshard though, wouldn't the Sleepless have noticed (they're keeping an eye out on the important Radiants), wouldn't Syl have noticed (their Spiritwebs are Connected after all)?

    I still can't believe you actually went ahead, paused and did it. What a madlad, absolute legend!

    Threnody?

    Narak means hell, Navani... could mean 9 voices (oh wow, that's inauspicious), I guess? It also sounds close to Navami, which just means ninth. Amaram... could mean an infantry commander in Tamil, that or revenue. Shallan... I can't think of anything. I think a lot of Rosharan words just sound like a lot of South Asian languages. I don't think Brandon had these meanings in mind, just the sounds maybe, they're likely just happy accidents. Oh, I've got another, Kaladin could mean black day.

    Welcome to the Shard! Ay, you like worldbuilding, you should watch Artifexian's worldbuilding or Biblaridion's alien biospheres, and both of their conlanging videos!
