Knight of Iron

The man went to the hardware store to sell 2000 Rosharan chickens.

To play the game, you just copy the sentence in the post above yours. You may change a single word in the sentence, or you may add a word to the sentence. If things get out of hand and the sentence becomes to cumbersome to write out, you can always vote for a reset. UPDATE: We’re going to try a new rule, you may remove a single word in a sentence as long as it wasn’t added recently and the sentence isn’t too short (say, 10 words or less). Here’s the starting sentence: The man went to the store to buy chicken.

Although... Honor did say humanity has lost the Dawnshards (plural) and not the Dawnshard (singular). And I don’t think the Dawnshard Rysn has is the one that binds, because the reference seems to distinguish the two. “Taking the Dawnshard know to bind...” sounds like it’s different than a Dawnshard known to change.

My guess is it’s the Dawnshard that was on Roshar (or at least mentioned in Rosharan history) that is known to bind creatures both voidish and mortal, the Dawnshard I like to call Unity.

Why are people saying that Honor wouldn't be commenting on the loss of the Dawnshards if his plan depended on his visions being received by one? I'm not getting that indication. How would Tanavast know he was talking to a Dawnshard?

I don’t believe we did, but I did notice that Rysn said that the words were the real treasure. Sounds awfully important to me.

This is like the first time I've made memes.

Yeah, I don't know. Honor made it sound like it was inevitable, but also lamented their loss.

So, in Honor’s last days he seemed like he believed that humanity was on track for the Dawnshards to destroy all of Roshar just like they did Ashyn. He promised it would happen, which is weird to me that discovering and using Dawnshards would be part of the natural progression of Surgebinders, unless that’s not what he’s implying. In which case, why does he think this will happen, especially considering the following: In Honors last vision to Dalinar, he seemed opposite to this. He lamented the loss of the Dawnshards and said that humanity was doomed without them. which is it? Are they essential to our survival or bringers of our destruction? I thought to bring this up again now we know a little more about Dawnshards. And did he not know there was one in Aimia?

Hello, and welcome to the 17th Shard! Very different from the Seventeeth Shard, the worldhopping group, because they don't even provide you means to travel to anywhere, here. I didn't know that before I joined. It's kind of a ripoff. We're happy to see you here! How come Shallan is your favorite?

Sorry, just trying to piece together what I’ve gotten from the Coppermind summary chapters. And I didn’t have any distinctive memories of whether or not she could do that. My bad!

@Nameless same bro, 17/17. glad they're adding copper so I can finally have a working coppermind.

Perhaps so, but I'm leaning more towards the immortality and inability to cause harm probably had something to do with the type of Dawnshard Hoid had. I think Rysn has a different one, and that any effects will be different. Immortality and inability to cause harm to living things reminds me a lot of Preservation, and what Rysn has seems to be the opposite of that. So instead of immortality, short life? Either way, she didn't know what she was signing up for.

Ok, look, I haven't even been an adult for a month, give me a break! I surrender! Is that enough, or am I held hostage or something.

The emperors soul is like the last cosmere one I read lol, but Shai is super cool. I love the magic system of Forgery and I so hope we get to see more of Shai later. How did you end up reading that first? My first cosmere book ended up me looking at the Way of Kings and deciding I’d read the entire thing, though it was the biggest book I’d ever seen.

Hello and welcomed to the Seventeenth Shard. Who is your favorite cosmere (or non-cosmere) character?

Mwahaha hello! I am an adult and I have posted here! hahahahhahhahahahahaha you'll never take me alive!!! *leaves*

It is my opinion that @The Traveller and @Honorless are people who are very friendly and nice.

Quite possibly, I think, though I notice Illumination includes sound and Shallan doesn't seem to be able to make sound, at least not yet. It would definitely take a lot of practice. Whether it's possible or not, I'll let others decide, but I like to theorize what this could mean. Some potential abilities I see here: - Microwaving: Lightweavers could potentially weaponize microwaves, boiling the blood of their enemies before their eyes. Humans are especially vulnerable to microwaves, as we are 80% water or something like that. Additionally, you could cook food or burn things with this ability. - X-rays: Imagine generating x-ray light waves from your body... no one would be able to see what's even happening, you'd need some scholarly folk in there to figure out uses. Though over time with excessive radiation they could notice mutations or whatnot. Some of the earliest x-ray scientists radiated themselves so much they had to lose their arms. - Gamma: As you brought up, gamma waves would certainly be weaponized. Not much to explain here, in my opinion. - Ultraviolet and Infared: Again, this could be useful if they know what to use it for. I don’t know too much about these to say much on the subject. - Radio: it would take near impossible skill in my opinion to manipulate radio waves exactly to whatever sound you like, but certainly you can interfere with anyone listening on radio. If people are using it, then you can shut down their communications. - Sound: not a wavelength of light, but sound can also be weaponized, as well as used deceptively. This one does confuse me, however, as sound is merely vibrations we interpret as sound. Does that mean the Surge of Illumination includes vibrations in general? Pattern certainly indicates that. anyways

I noticed this in the annotations for Dawnshard: Emphasis on the fact that he can’t eat meat. What!? Since when!? Does his curse to not be able to physically harm people also extend to animals, and therefore he cannot eat them? the most alarming and depressing part of this is this fact we have known for a while, quote: I know someone brought this up on the Reddit q and a already, but I needed to get this off my chest

I understood it as and the internet seems to understand the use of "native" as a form of political correctness. I do agree it is more precise than Indian, and that is sort of what I meant by political correctness, at least in this scenario. I see now that political correctness is using certain terms over others to avoid offense or disadvantage, and that doesn't fit best into this example, but I thought it was a general understanding that it was 'politically correct.'

I ain’t sleeping tonight...

I agree with what you are saying, though for me I feel I never assume someone’s race rather than subconsciously forming their image in my head. It’s not something I pay extremely close attention to, and so everything reverts to default. heck, my brain doesn’t even try sometimes with some of these descriptive words. I see comments on fanart and stuff commenting on descriptive inaccuracies of how they imagine them differently, while in my mind they’ve looked for the most part like a freakin blank slate lol.

Agreed, it’s human nature for our imaginations to default in our own mind to somewhat similar to ourselves. I assumed they were white until I learned otherwise, then I preferred to think of them as Asian. An example of this in real life is if you go to a Christian church in Africa, you will find their depictions of Jesus are of him as a black man, while in America he is depicted as a white man, when in reality he was neither. I think that’s okay to do to an extent, and I think Brandon would agree as he’s stated especially with pronunciations that they are pronounced however you pronounce them. The characters are yours in your mind, in other words.
