That's never stopped me! But as we all know, no one can keep away from the storm forever, not even Fleet.

But, as the bards say, the breadmunks payed the stormfather to off him.

There's a lot to explore.

Glad to see you're enjoying the game! have you fought the final boss yet?

a?

I don't think that we know his exact age, but I'd guess early 20's at the youngest and early 30's at the latest.

But it was on the same day as the cookie-eating contest.

You pretty much got it, but I do think that the Heralds and fused are the same as their power. If they weren't, it likely wouldn't be able to affect their minds so starkly. Also, I think that the insanity doesn't always manifest based on how they are perceived. for example, Taln, Jezrien, Kalak, and Ash are all very different from people's perception of them. Nale and Ishar haven't fought against the intents of their powers. It doesn't matter what reality is, they are completely insane. The pursuer is someone who made his own reputation. He perceives himself the same way others perceive him. He can function perfectly while he is pursuing people, but if his tradition is threatened, we saw in RoW how he reacted.

Okay. Why does Nale's madness manifest as lack of emotion? Why is Ishar unable to see the world as it actually is? During the desolations, Fused like the pursuer garnered reputations among both humans and listeners, and those reputations likely had centuries in which they were widely known. Even in the current pre-final desolation world, humans have stories of the voidbringers, hate-filled monsters bent on destroying mankind. That perception has changed the intent of their investiture, and their investiture would keep that intent even if everyone forgot about them. I think that what Shallan has done is based on her nature as a Lightweaver. As her oaths are about discovering who she is, (As Wit put it, you must know the truth before you change it) she shows the deserters not only what they are, but also what they could be. We've seen that theme, and we've also seen the theme of conflict between your reputation and your actual self, during Kaladin's arc in RoW. We've also seen the vessels struggling against the intent of their shards, and we've even seen Rayse semi-successfully change the intent of Odium from just hatred to hatred and also passion, largely by telling everyone to see it that way and by viewing it as Passion. And the investiture that is bonded to the heralds and fused also has no mind to guide it save the heralds and fused, making it vulnerable to change.

Okay. Have you read all of Brandon's books?

Felt?

I guess so. Are you going to watch the olympics?

Its currently about 11 AM.

The heralds had to fight the fused, and they needed to be immortal. The other things could have been implemented by Honor after the first desolation started, or maybe by Ishar.

My favorite genera is epic fantasy, and I think my favorite book (that I read for fun) is RoW. Outside of Brandon Sanderson, I can't decide what my favorite book is. I recently read the Civil War trilogy by Michael and Jeff Shaara, and that was really good.

Well, abnormal days would be the days that aren't normal, obviously. I like reading books too. (Big surprise on a book forum, I know). My brother likes programming, but I've never gotten into it myself. I like playing minecraft.

Hm. What do you like to do on a normal day?

Maybe Honor had to have a way out, making the oathpact a matter of mortals, or else Odium could simply brute force his way through it?

Sure. Do you like Minecraft?

Fortunately for Art Painter, No One and Brandy Venture had been using protein powder instead of sugar for years, so he had gained over 500 pounds of pure muscle. Too bad the breadmunks didn't have a weightlifting contest.

I meant the symptoms. But what causes the power to push back in any specific way? I'm saying that it is the intent. We've seen lesser spren be changed by intent, but humans seem mostly immune to the intent of others. I think that there is something different about humans, (Maybe their connection to the physical realm?) that makes their cognitive and spiritual aspects immune to change by other's perspectives. The heralds and fused, however, are bonded to what is basically "blank" (aside from Honor/Odium's) intent, making it highly vulnerable to change due to perception. TLDR, the intent of their investiture changes based on the perception of other people. Well, the other heralds are either too far gone or don't recognize the issue. The Fused aren't holding to an oath, they're just highly invested. Kelsier isn't holding any oaths, but he still seems to want a way to avoid negative side effects due to his nature as a cognitive shadow.

Nale had a moment of lucidity when Lift spoke her third ideal in Edgedancer.

The torture has definitely had an effect on the heralds. All ten of them are insane, compared to the majority of the fused who seem able to function in battle, only Nale and Ishar seem to be able to fight, although we haven't seen all ten heralds. It could also have to do with the heralds being in the forefront of mythology.

But the cookie olympics was the only one that he won in.

YKYASFWY GET YOUR LEATHERBOUND!!!!!!! YKYASFWY notice that the sun has turned red, so you tell your brother "ash fell from the sky".
