Who will be the main interlude viewpoint?
Honorless replied to LuckyJim's topic in Stormlight Archive
I think it's going to be Moash or Leshwi too -
Guess that Cosmere reference!

Good game, @Hentient, I was going to guess Vin to Ruin about Reen.- 123 replies

is it Dusk talking to/about Patji?- 123 replies

Moash isn't a "bad" person, not really, more of a hopeless one but he really is not in a headspace to be any kind of "good" either. So I chose neutral and I think he'll get hope again and that hope would be quashed, he'll die redeeming himself, believing his final action to be pointless but going through with it anyway because it's the right thing to do. A parallel, of sorts, of his actions at the end of Oathbringer. But I'd very much like for him to be saved somehow.

Not an Unmade but spren released by the Unmade called Re-Shephir. What you're describing is the Midnight Essence. https://coppermind.net/wiki/Midnight_Essence

Shadesmar question/is roshar thought to be flat?
Honorless replied to Chasmgoat's topic in Stormlight Archive
No, Roshar is not thought to be flat. Rosharans are aware planets are spherical, and there's in-world debate whether Highstorms have an origin or if they just go round the planet. They measured the speed of the Everstorm and determined that it did go around the planet at more or less a uniform speed (though Odium can influence that). Shadesmar probably just appears flat because that's how we perceive land to be. We can't see the curvature of our planet. We often think of distances as straight lines (barring uneven terrain). Shadesmar just reflects that perception of the land. -
Urithiru?
-
Huh, I'll put one more notch on the living Tower hypothesis then

Instantaneous travel does seem to suggest that, as all places are one in the Spiritual Realm, while the Physical and Cognitive Realms do care about distances one way or another.

0) metal that conducts Stormlight, Navani theorises that empty gem serves as a low pressure area to siphon Stormlight from high pressure areas (Radiants), might be how gems store Stormlight from the Highstorm 1) Kaladin tried to pass on leadership to Teft who vehemently refused, Sigzil is the current leader. Skar and Drehy accompanied Rock and his family to the Horneater peaks (so we might see them in the Rock novella) 2) just to note: so Oathgates do seem to operate via the Spiritual Realm, so that old WoB about how people came from Ashyn to Roshar might be on a bit more solid ground. And Elsecallers might indeed be able to teleport instantaneously by a similar mechanism, though so far we've only seen Phy-Cog travel 3) Kaladin is good at logistics and strategy (points at WoK chapter 1, how Kal got the epithet of "Stormblessed") so he could be that. An ambassador... maybe with training, he is very methodical, has experience as a surgeon, on the battlefield, surgeon on the battlefield, so he's used to making decisions under pressure, leadership qualities, is charismatic, is a Radiant which serves as an awe factor... with training I could actually see him as an ambassador, but not with his current mental state. We know from Syl's interlude he goes back to being a doctor, I hope he and Lirin make up during this perhaps? With Lirin acknowledging Kaladin could save more lives on the battlefield and Lirin teaching Kaladin to let go of those he couldn't save so he could concentrate on the people he could save 4) they tried to organize living space by Princedoms initially but the arrangement didn't work, this might help break the Alethi highprinces' power a little bit. The Kholins are much more powerful in Urithiru than they were in Kholinar, they were the ruling family but they were roughly equal to the other Highprinces during the War of Reckoning. Urithiru is much more communal. hey, Kaladin's high-ranking! Shouldn't his family get a nice room too! Why are they still operating based on Lighteyes Darkeyes hierarchy. What does Laral provide as service do the would-be community compared to Kaladin or Lirin? Edit: okay, resolved 5) Urithiru's design He ducked under a strange outcropping of stone in the hallway. Urithiru had numerous such oddities; this one was round, a stone tube crossing the center of the hallway. Perhaps it was ventilation? Why had it been put right where people walked? Many other features of the tower defied logic. Hallways dead-ended. Rooms were discovered with no way in save tiny holes to peek through. Small shafts were discovered plummeting down thirty or more stories. Those are rather strange. Maybe spren used those? I dunno 6) Jasnah has already done one reform, it seems, making Laral able to inherit 7) “Disrespectful of lighteyed authority,” Hesina said, “and generally inclined to do whatever he wants, regardless of social class or traditions. Where in Roshar did he get it?” is this a hint of how Lirin charmed Hesina? 8) Hesina knows rather a lot. Also yeah iron deposits do look green, the color of rock changes as iron oxidizes. Often ferrous iron imparts a green color, while oxidized rock containing ferric iron is reddish or rusty. 9) I sometimes forget Syl isn't human unlike with the other spren due to how... human she seems compared to most of them. Syl might learn to read Kaladin better with Hesina's help, so sweet! She's so sensitive and attentive towards him! 10) reading through some of these WoBs (https://wob.coppermind.net/adv_search/?query=matter%2Benergy%2BInvestiture) wouldn't getting Investiture from matter and energy be possible in the future? 11) That’s part of how I persuaded Dalinar to let me fetch everyone from Hearthstone—we have a lot of soldiers, but surprisingly few people who know their way around a lavis field during worming season. I was hoping Dalinar just let Kaladin put his family first with how much he asks of Kaladin for his own family 12) Kharbranth has discovered vaccines 13) Hmm... the question of what happens with medical professions in Urithiru with Edgedancers and Truthwatchers able to heal with a touch Also, hahaha, like father, like son. “I guess I’ll need to find something else to do.” He's not obsolete yet though Most of the time those Edgedancers are serving on the battlefront, healing soldiers. The few on duty in Urithiru can be used for only the most dire of wounds. “Plus their powers have limitations. They can’t do anything for old wounds, for example. We have a large clinic in the market staffed by ordinary surgeons, and it’s busy all hours of the day. You’re not obsolete. Trust me, you’re going to be very, very useful here 14) Ooh we got some numbers on the Radiants! 50 Edgedancers (wow, Cultivationspren work fast) & 3 Truthwatchers 15) She kept bullying him with her frustratingly insistent spren stare—she didn’t blink unless she pointedly decided to, so he’d never met anyone else who could glare quite like Syl. Once she’d even enlarged her eyes to disturbing proportions to deliver a particularly important point. Wow playing the stare game with Syl would not work, lol 16) “That’s what this is about, isn’t it?” Lirin said. “The surgery room, the supplies, that talk of the clinic. You’ve realized it. You finally understand that I’ve been right. You’re going to become a surgeon like we always dreamed!” Well... I think Kaladin should recount what happened to him to his family. They can't just continue on to manage each other, instead of communicating. Why the dread though That was the answer, of course. The one Kaladin had been purposely avoiding. He’d considered the ardents, he’d considered the generals, and he’d considered running away. The answer was in the face of his father, a face that a part of Kaladin dreaded. Deep down, Kaladin had known there was only one place he could go once the spear was taken from him. “Yes,” Kaladin said. “You’re right. You’ve always been right, Father. I guess… it’s time to continue my training.”

*spits out water* A metal that conducts Stormlight?! Hmm... could it be Nicrosil? Pressure differential, huh. That does make some sense but I didn't expect Investiture to behave this way, maybe under certain conditions or if it's free Investiture? I'm thinking Stormlight (as it's crucial to the ecosystem of Roshar and that shapes how it behaves) and the Dor (simply because it's pressurized) but the Mists don't behave that way (not entering houses) but Preservation's power leaking through the Spiritual via metals seems to

*sigh* He experimented with the aspects of Jasnah's character that he hadn't worked out yet. As he didn't have anything specific he needed her to be, he checked out whether she could be something that many of his fans wanted her to be. That isn't weird, that's just nice. Ultimately, he found something that worked for how he could see the character being and decided on going forwards with it, and informing his fans of that decision.
-
Hmm, I think I understand what you mean, one doesn't need to be ace to be uninterested. It makes sense for Jasnah to be uninterested in pursuing relationships with everything that's on her plate and a long history of a lot of pressure to conform, which no matter how strong you are would make you a bit bitter.

Elendel Basin?

It does fit with her character.

I think that's why the OP wants Pai to be a Truthwatcher or a Herald, so that she could survive that. I don't think she was a Herald or a Radiant, I'm afraid she was simply a side character who showed us how things were going in Kholinar, I think she really did die at the end of the interlude. She probably isn't Pailiah as, like the other Heralds, she probably would've displayed some form of madness/characteristics opposite of her divine attributes. Plus, we have a WoB (though one that is unverified) that Pailiah is in Kharbranth.

Nah, I'll take it Granted, Harmony shows up, distributes Allomantic abilities: you become a gold Misting I wish for... all the video games -
Hey! So, I've noticed that you consistently try to enthusiastically engage with and draw in new members in the introduction forum, and I just wanted to compliment you for putting forth all that effort! It's very kind of you to do so!

Guess That Cosmere Character! Forum Edition!
Honorless replied to Kidpen's topic in Forum Games & Random Stuff
I was going to guess Teft going by clue #1, but clue #2... love triangles... Er... I dunno, Dalinar? -
That hint made me compile a mental list of all the Cosmere places that are disliked by some people in-world, like Hallandren, Bavland, Forests of Hell, Kredik Shaw, Patji... Is it the Reshi Isles?
