Norse Mythology and the Tranquiline Halls
Owlsrayne replied to Kelsier'sGodComplex's topic in Stormlight Archive
What I really enjoy about the Storm Archive novels is the martial arts themes. European sword techniques mixed with Chinese martial arts of the staff & sword. The "Lashings" is similar to Hong Kong martial films where the characters are doing the aerial combat scenes. Breathing in & using "Stormlight" also similar to Chinese art of "Empty Force" (which I practice) which is the accumulation and circulation of "Chi" for internal power. I must give Brandon Sanderson credit for taking in "Stormlight" by Kaladin in modifying the "Chi" breathing routine when I'm walking my dog by visualizing breathing in Life Force from the trees and plants around me. So, think of me as a crazy old gentleman. -
'm an older gentleman who enjoys reading Brandon Sanderson's novels: Mistborn, Elantis, The Way of Kings, and now reading Words of Radiance. See my profile for more info.

I'm a martial artist learning and practicing a little known form: "Empty Force" similar to the idea of working with Stormlight. Bringing up Earth energy, bringing down sky energy, and walking breathing in Life Force from trees and the wind to amplify Chi.
