Renarin made Moash see his alternative Spiritual self. Props to all who thought that his version of Illumination is a spiritual one!

Well, Mraize is dealing with "Restares' cronies" the same way as he tried to deal with Amaram in Words of Radiance. Good to know that he is consistent if nothing else. It's a shame about Ialai, though. Hopefully, we will figure out definitively what she was trying to say during the entire wine conversation as I'm too dense to figure it out myself.

That would break the challenge the Fused offered, and Sigzil doesn't seem to land any hits on her during their duel.

Some one-off "shields" to paint with Adhesion for arrow catching, like flares in modern fighting aircraft. Darts seemed like a good idea to me at first, but the Heavenly Ones are too mobile for them to be hit with a single projectile, even a fast-moving one. There is also an issue of accuracy. Goggles would be preferable to a full-on mask, IMHO. They would limit the field of view of the operator less than a mask, and for situations when more protection is needed, a Radiant could just summon a Shadplate helm. In general, I believe that the lack of equipment will be dealt with after some time. It's easy for generals to favor supplying regular soldiers first when Radians come with their own weapons and armor.

And here I was hoping that Shallan would be able to deal with Ialai better than Adolin did with Sadeas. Oh well. I am loving reading Navai's pov. She is a character I didn't know I wanted more of. This chapter made me remember Brandon's words about how he likes to write science because it can be wrong. I suddenly feel that she will be the scientist who got something wrong about the way she thinks the tower functions. And then there is Kaladin. Hope he won't kill someone by treating them like a porcelain vase that you aren't allowed to see or touch, lest it breaks. It's kind of funny how the Stormfather and Honorspren treat humans for their adaptable and changeable nature while our dear Kaladin acts more and more like a spren. Still not sure how Moash's eyes turned green, however.

If the soul of the box grows accustomed to its size, we can hope that the change will occur slow enough for Fluffy to escape compression.

We have confirmation that Mraize is at least partially behind Shalan's investigation into Sons of Honor. Ash has been sharing information with the coalition. Ialai is indeed working with the Sons of Honor. There are 50 Windrunners, awesome. The Fused use aluminum(?) and fabrials in their weapons. Cord is awesome. Some thoughts: What these chapters told us is that a lot more happened since the end of Oathbringer than we assumed. Having fifty Windrunners is incredible and a lot more than we anticipated. This brings up some questions. Are the Windrunners the only Order to get a lot of recruits? Does this mean that there are more spren on Roshar than before the Recreance since WoR said that there were 15 of the Windrunners, or some spren "retired" following Aharietiam? On the topic of Shallan I just hope that she will be able to deal with Ialai in a more civilized manner than Adolin had with Sadeas.

Vin and the Inquisitors were able to pierce copperclouds because they had Hemalurgic spikes, which made them more powerful with bronze. Does that mean they could pierce any coppercloud out there, or does the strength of an Allomancer burning copper matter too? For example, could they pierce Lord Rulers or Elend's coppercloud? If so, could the Lord Ruler have pierced his own coppercloud?

Didn't Malata unlock an Oathgate in Jah Kaved? How would she do that without a blade? Do people think she has an Honorblade or am I missing something?

The Fourth Bridge is insanely cool. I wonder what its bead would be like in Shadesmar. Would it say "I am a ship." or "I am a bridge?" Or would it go full Stormfather and say something like "I am the Fourth Bridge, carrier of kings, Bondsmiths, admirals and smelly bridgeman!"

One way of adding a bit of redundancy to propulsion would be to use both a set of conjoiners and reversers which would function with a bit of delay. That way, the pair of the chulls would be moving one ship in the same direction while moving opposite directions themselves. This would also allow for one crew to keep pulling the ship while the other changes directions. I think that Roshar at the moment is not advanced enough technologically to create an entire structure out of aluminum. I suspect that they don't have a way to even get enough metal. And IIRC there was a WOB saying that it would be hard to soulcast aluminum, but I may be wrong about that. As before, I'm not sure if this technology even exists on Roshar. This leads me to believe that methods of local propulsion for those types of ships of sufficient power and efficiency would be magical in nature. Another idea I had was to use a pair of platforms floating on water, in a cistern of sorts, and adjust the vertical position of the main platform by changing the water level in the cistern. While the speed of climbing and descending would decrease, the safety of the crew of the ship would rise as the failure of the mechanism would result in a gradual descent, rather than a sudden crash to the ground. This would also allow for the ship to remain afloat at least at some distance for the ground if the water was drained from the sides of the cistern and not from the bottom, leaving the ship out of reach of regular foes. But this method is also flawed and I struggle to say if it would be better than the current one.

I was recently rereading Oathbringer and I think there might be a little bit more to Adolin's words that "Almighty used some of the same stuff he put into Shardblades when he made you.” when he was talking to Kaladin in Shadesmar.

My questions are mostly about the issues brought up in Oathbringer, so here I go. Who's helping Sigzil with the scribe duties in Bridge 4 now? How was Oathbringer the book received by the public? What was the reaction of the elite, especially in the nations with heavy Vorin worship? Did any important man learn to read to show support to Dalinar or in defiance of the church? Sebarial had some sort of scheme to tax the Oathgates. Did he manage to implement it in any way, since Navani gave the privilege of Oathgate regulations to Thaylena? Did the Alethi make any big structural changes to Urithiru to help deal with the plumbing problem? Have they managed to make any of the towers mechanisms work, with the Sibling sleeping and all? The synopsis for the RoW says that the coalition fought for a year, but how are the armies supplied (and deployed for that matter)? Did any member nation set up temporary garrisons on the ally borders or do they march straight from the capital most of the time? Are the casmfiends actually going extinct?

The Spiritual realm has 1 dimension of space and 3 dimensions of time. Three-dimensional time is what allows seeing alternate futures and not just the future and the past. Rock will be the first cook on Roshar to use a fabrial oven/stove. Mistborn era 3 will be about the protagonists trying to stop agents of Trell from starting a World War level conflict.
