Vasher:

So that is why he died... lack of practice... not that szeth was using magic or anything

Would Odium really want to drop their Shard?

Wow. I just checked out the card art and it looks great!

Using stormstriders works. try here It kind of helps (for others, I've listed the relevant WoBs Below) There weren't WoBs back when you asked, though... WoBs (spoilered for length) And the passages from WoR and OB: So the Stormstriders are likely not chasmfiends (as discussed earlier in the thread) due to Dalinar's sight of them during the highstorm when Evi and Toh came to meet with the Alethi, and due to WoB #2 My personal theory is that they are spren (yes, I am siding with a solid WoB on this one) that have a few quirks 1. They don't move constantly with the Highstorm The Stormstriders move with the storm (per WoB #1), but they are not described as moving particularly fast ("walked on spindly legs") so they are either a. regular things that the Alethi regularly find during the non-storm times or b. they disappear, likely into the chasms to hide 2. They glow The glow isn't described as the dark voidlight, but rather close to stormlight. One option that they could be is a manifestation of spren from the cognitive realm that are made possible through the link through the highstorm (like the Dalinar moment of Unity). Another, I guess, is that they could be splinters (the essence of what spren are) from another world that bonded a spren and have inhaled some Stormlight (which is really unlikely). Additionally, they could be something that came from Ashyn with the humans and Heralds. Alternatively, they could be from Braize... (but not Unmade (see below)) 3. There are multiple of them (see the above WoR section) This suggests that they are not Unmade because the Unmade are fairly unique, and there is a duplicate of the Stormstrider. The Striders also emit a light that Kaladin doesn't describe as strange, which implies that they have more of a Stormlight glow than voidlight. 4. Their shape: "enormous figure" "alien and sleek" "gargantuan figure that moved on spindly glowing legs" This suggests that they are spren, which brandon confirmed, and might be something that is only truly seen with a window to the Cognitive Realm. This also suggests that they are unique and closer to Cusicesh. So I think that they are a spren that hides in the chasms that comes out for some reason to walk in the storms (maybe to be infused) What are people's thoughts on this?

@Blind Radiant just a tip: the first post is really all that you need in the thread. all the other stuff is discussing what goes into the edits of the first post

So an option for edits in notifications, especially for followed topics?

I don't know, but what abt Odium.... or Ruin.... or even Autonomy. The Shards are pretty freaky

Revelant WoB that is hilarious Second off, your questions will be answered in Book 5, at the very latest (at least that was my interpretation of "back five")

Ehh. that is a little iffy. Brandon has said that the Sibling is gender neutral... Proof: who eats raw Soulcast meat? only the truely desperate Theory: *Spoiler for Mistborn Era 1*

I would say... Either Scadrial's, Roshar's, or Taldain's. and for non cosmere, either The Reckoners or the Rithmatist

@aneonfoxtribute The issue was probably related to a traffic to the site. I had to try a couple times to get mine to go through. Sorry if you didn't get it. If Taln had placed his Honorblade (provided that he didn't die...), then the circle would be complete, and we would have two Shattered Plains...

Sweet! firestarter! I have some flames.

No, I see what you said, just to do it, you are going to need to fill and drain a whole ton of metalminds to do that. It is more of a scenario problem than a physics one because you have to be connected enough to all of the metalminds to drain them all.

I would agree, but I found this, so now I only mostly agree: So you can't fill one metalmind enough to become a black hole, but filling tons... Do we know if you can empty multiple of the same metalmind at the same time? I think we do, but can someone confirm? (haven't read mistborn in a while) So if you put weight into multiple metalminds at once, and took all of the weight from the tons of metalminds, then, theoretically, you could become a black hole

It is theoretically possible that the sun never sets.... Granted: You get a watch. It has a giant crack in it, but otherwise it is a nice watch (plastic, though, so no selling). Oh, and you are cursed that whoever you ask out is required to ask about the watch. I wish for an interesting bane

Welcome to the Shard! Who is your favorite character and magic system and why?

Here is just a fun tidbit: the Sibling is 'sleeping' and there aren't spren in Shinovar (or not very common) (Rsyn interlude in tWoK I think) In Shinovar, there is a fixation on stone (Szeth mentions stone as 'holy'), something that could definitely have developed after the Sibling went to "sleep." As Asmodeus suggests, the Sibling is related to stone.

The Stormfather bonded Dalinar when he had Talns' blade (the one that he had at the end of tWoK)

that is what I thought too

Ok, I don't think that you are fully insane yet, but I think that Lirin or one of the Heralds might also be a good canidate for this group, but Lirin is unlikely. If Dalinar can somehow pull Ash or Taln into group 2, then they could work. Maybe part of the group arc is restoring Taln?

Sure. It all gets mixed around in your stomach, anyway. I have the last pages of an atlas (blank) (BFG, anyone?)

It has got to be strange for non-LDS Sharders coming in here and reading B.o.M.
