Eternal Khol

I saw a WoB that stated that the Intent has to do with the way the Magic system is initiated rather than what the magic does So stop trying to look for Autonomy's Intent in sand mastery and its functions and start looking for for how its initiated

The Desolation is announced be "Ten Heralds" I doubt that each herald came back in different kingdoms. All ten would be together or people would be like "who is this random crazy person, ranting about the desolation coming?"

If you look at the few chapters that Brandon publicly released. A bunch of the text is redacted so you dont get all of the Info. The only people who have seen the redacted parts are those who have read the full manuscript. Which is only available at BYU

I dont think they can be unwilling, if they're already dead XD

They weren't all kings. Some of em were. But others, were Generals or Scholars. Then theres Taln. The lone Soldier/bodyguard

Investiture isnt an aspect of magic. It is magic. The others, Connection, Fortune, Identity and Intention, all play roles in what that investiture(or magic) does or how it can be accessed

Actually it's Connection fortune Intent Identity

I think they had to have existed pre-shattering too. As there were worldhoppers back then. Questioner Before the Shattering, were people already able to worldhop from Yolen to the other planets like Roshar, and so on? Brandon Sanderson It was possible, it did not happen nearly on the extent that it happens now. It's possible. I would say that, I don't know if there, yeah very very very few instances. Prague Signing (Oct. 26, 2019) I dont think it was because of that. Well... it probably was too But im thinking since the mists were kinda of alive and looking for a host that they wouldn't let let themselves or whatever get eaten by anyone. Exept someone it chose

Thats what I got from it

That's why I said only part of the book She was so annoying in the second half ROFL She never gave Raeth/Hern a chance. She assumed he was a jerk so she hated on him before she even had a chance to see who he really was

Not bad. There's some truth in your predictions. I won't say what though What do you think of D'naa? She was my favorite for most of the book. A fierce woman with a powerful Aether bond that shouldn't have been. Love it!

I think so. Shardblades cut the soul and spikes are placed on certain bind points to spike a certain part of the soul. Now, that's not to say you can't just respike yourself on another bind point for the same effect

I think H+C probably back him into a corner(probably using too much power on one thing, so it made him vulnerable to attack) Since it's 2 against 1, Odium probably can't expend as much power without risking an attack from H+C Then forced him to accept him imprisonment or be splintered or permanently weaken him(if possible) And as we know, Shards have nothing but time, so Odium probably agreed to be bound on Braize This quote is what makes me think this: "In visions, Honor had left Dalinar with a task. Vex Odium, convince him that he can lose, and appoint a champion. He will take that chance instead of risking defeat again, as he has suffered so often. This is the best advice I can give you."

A few of my favorites Fairy Tail(kinda like My hero academia) Shiki(vampire horror) Vampire Knight (highschool - Humans during the day. Vampires at night) Soul Eater(humans train at Death's academy to learn to fight Kishin a.k.a demons) The Wallflower(comedy. 4 highschoolers have to transform their landlady's niece from a Goth paranoid wallflower to a beautiful lady or start paying rent) Danganronpa (horror highschool. Student can only leave if they successfully kill a classmate and get away with it) Kakegurui(wild gambling highschool)

We never get any useful information except that he was trapped in the 4 lesser Aethers and he was "closest" to Verdant and that the Twins both had to agree to imprison The Former Probably because the twins each held part of his power and then the whole "shards can't break an oath" thing. I imagine the Former could've chose to imprison himself but wouldn't. So Decay went to the Twins who each held half his power and, instead, got them both to agree to imprison The Former(in exchange for the power to defeat the other twin) which we know they never got because they were also imprisoned. The Former promised not to intervene between the Twins so he was probably helpless to stop them from agreeing to imprison him. One thing I've been wondering though... Why did the Former get trapped in the "impure" Aethers and why did the "less powerful" twins get trapped in the "pure" Divine Aethers? What are the Twins? They seem to be at shard levels(in terms of power), but without the nigh-omniscience of The Former(as displayed in the Epilogue) and have physical bodies. The twins not being as powerful as the Former makes sense but everything they say(destroying and creating worlds) puts them at shardic levels

I think the Skycolor/shifting colors is just the color the darksiders fluoresce. WoB says that their Hair, Eyes and Nail glow from the UV Rays. Khriss notes on Kentons eyes not having Skycolor. And Khriss says so in the AU: "The ultraviolet light that shines through the ring causes a certain reflective luminescence" In the prose khriss talks about replacing the sunlight with Skycolors. I imagine in the twilight of Darkside, the glow from the people is probably brighter than the incoming light from the star. Also speculating here but I imagine the colors would reflect back into the atmosphere to make a sort of Aurora like @Dreamer noted.

I love how the concept of "Living Night" was in 3 Sanderson novels. First in Mythwalker with Ix. Which didn't work Then with The Aether of Night Which he still didn't like. Then finally in the Stormlight Archive Where it finally found its home. After failing to place it in 2 other novels. It's a great way to see how brandons writing skills evolved. The same concept in 3 novels.

so RN Aethers are Pre-Shattering Magic. that's a pretty big WoB i wonder how the magic changed after the shattering? and if they are pre-shattering, that could mean that the Aethers are on a planet without any shard in residence. Pagerunner Are the Aethers from one of the Shards that we know? Or are they of a Shard we haven't learned about? Brandon Sanderson Right now they are pre-Shattering. But I will probably change that. General Signed Books 2018 (Oct. 15, 2018)

it took me the first quarter of the book before i started to like it. i loved Siri and Vasher. anything with the Magic or God-King had me hooked. i know a lot of people love Lightsong, and i did too(for his first few chapters) but after a while i just got so tired of his 24/7 Laid back/nonchalant attitude. and don't even get me started on Vivenna. i had to put the book down for a few hours, everytime i got to a Vivenna PoV. she was just so whiny and prissy i couldnt take it.

Welcome to the Shard. i love your work! keep it up

More specifically, it's something that's Cosmere-wide but has a specific way of manifesting on Roshar I got the sense that the Rythms have something to do with Connection. There's a lot of different Rythms and when one changed into a form of Power and gets that Connection to Odium or whatever, they also have new Ryhtms.

After the shattering the Spren created by Adon went to either Honor or Cultivation. So if someone new Ascended those spren would get absorbed. At least by your logic Chaos So, at the Forbidden Planet signing you said that when Adonalsium was Shattered, all Investiture in the cosmere was associated to one of the Shards... So, what happened with Adonalsium's spren on Roshar? Were those associated to Honor and Cultivation? What happened with them? Brandon Sanderson So they were very-- They were already associated to certain parts of Adonalsium and they went with those associations. There's a lot of Cultivation in all of the spren, particularly the natural spren. Footnote: Chaos is referencing this exchange. Salt Lake City signing (Dec. 16, 2017) It's not like when someone ascends they claim every piece of investiture. Vin was only able to draw in the mist because they were the raw power of Preservation. Not being used by anything else. If someone new Ascended on Roshar your suggesting all Spren of H and/or C, would disappear. Which isn't the case It's also like saying that if dalinar Ascended he'd absorb all of the highstorm investiture which also isn't true

That's like saying all Spren would disappear if someone new Ascended to Honor

This section from Mythwalker rang Adonalsium in my head when I read it. In Peters notes for Chapter 4 of Mythwalker, he states that the Emperor is the actual descendant of a God. "The teachings of the priesthood said that the higher a being rose on the scale of divinity, the less ruled by instinct they became. The Emperor was the only human who actually transcended worldly desires, becoming a creature of pure thought with no feeling or emotion." I feel like this is relevant to the whole "the way [Adonalsium] worked was just that the way he saw the world was the way the world worked." WoB
