  1. Happy Birthday and New Year! 

  2. As for Odium not going after Preservation and Ruin, why would he? They were very opposed with one another and probably already trying to kill each other.

      Oh. Damn, I missed you somehow. Happy late Birthday.

  5. Look at it this way: Honor and Odium are the biggest causes of war and the biggest drivers of war. You hate an enemy or you think something worth fighting for. It's not just literal war but also conflict in general. That's why Honor + Odium = War makes sense. It also fits how a balance between Ruin and Preservation can be called Harmony. The internal conflict between hatred and desire to take the honorable path, the mind's war. Same with Honor + Cultivation = Science. Honor is order and structure and unified code. Cultivation is nature and growth and necessity and progress. You can combine these ideas in many ways to get the ordering of nature, growth and progress via understanding the fundamental structure of nature. Science is a valid interpretation of their combined Intent.
  6. Oo, welcome, welcome
  7. Among the main characters, yeah alongside Ais the Trackt from White Sand, Hrathen is among my least favourite major characters too.
  8. Happy New Year, everyone!

      What's that? It's... It's not Christmas? But... What do you mean, 2020 is ending? Wait, we actually survived? I thought we were toast! We're... it's over... we did it... 2020... it's over :)

      Well in that case, fellow sharders, have a holly jolly new year.

      Hope 2021 goes well for all of us :D

  9. You're Ashley Coad! I loved your depictions of Shallan and the Santhid and Kaladin on his way to Hearthstone!
  10. I don't particularly like either of them as people, fascinating characters though they might be. Dalinar has the far bigger kill-count but I'll give this to Dalinar, he's more responsible than Kelsier, whose approach to the insurrection he started was "I'll either succeed or I'll be dead so it won't be my problem any more". It's understandable, given his life up to that point though, that I agree with, and he's more fun than Dalinar, so I like him better, eh.
  11. Kelsier: Willshaper or Lightweaver, he's a free spirit and a conman, he was a freedom fighter and sought to change the skaa to be able to see that they could have better things in life and that it was worth fighting for. Vin: Dustbringer, Elsecaller, Lightweaver or Stoneward, she sought to improve her capabilities, get a handle on her powers, feel human, was unsure about her role & identity, was very stubborn and stood her ground in the face of overwhelming might. Elend: Truthwatcher, was curious, studious, concerned with how power is exercised by those in power. He could also be a Bondsmith, he could be very charismatic after Tindwyl's training. Elsecallers would welcome him too, I think. Could be a Stoneward as well, like Vin, he was was very stubborn and stood his ground in the face of overwhelming might. Sazed: Bondsmith, Truthwatcher, Elsecaller, Dustbringer, Edgedancer, could guide people very well, sought self-control and fulfillment, was a Terris Keeper and tried to distribute hope through lost religions.
  12. What about Mistborn era 2 (Wax & Wayne)? And if so, did you like it?
  13. See you around, fellow Truthwatcher!
  14. Elantris is weaker than Brandon's other later books. There's going to be a strange jump in quality moving on from Elantris to Elantris 2, haha. I like all the tropes of mysterious places, so I was quite disappointed with Elantris, though I understand that demystification was integral to the plot but still feels like a missed opportunity to me. Which Order of the Knights Radiant are you according to the official quiz?
  15. That's my favourite Order! Though I got Truthwatcher myself.

    Tae

    I was very curious about Aons with the chasm line but couldn't quite figure out what they'd look like. Thanks for posting these!
  17. I expected more from Venli. We were led to believe that she was the researcher of the Listeners but she was mostly just led along by Ulim.
  18. Sorry to bother you but that's a really cool pfp, where did you find it?

      On Tumblr. I wish I could recall the artist’s name. I agree; it’s stunning.

      Agh! Please tell me you have the full version of this pic because I'm getting a very blurry picture from clicking on it!

  19. Welcome to the Shard! Hope to see you around on the theorizing side of the forums too!
  20. Which Sanderson book is your least favourite so far? Why?
  21. Welcome aboard! Look forward to seeing you around on the forums.
  22. Haha! If you wanted to climb out of too much fangirling over the Cosmere, you came to the wrong place. Welcome to the Shard.
  23. Welcome to the Shard! Have you read Stormlight?
  24. Welcome to the Shard, Chris! WoK is pretty tough book to surpass, yeah. Did you take the official Knights Radiant quiz? Which Order did you get?
