  1. Okay, I feel really stupid for having only just made the connection now. I have never read the preview, but does the title have anything to do with the Parshmen? (their forms)
  2. Hold on, the Heralds were also shards? How is Rayse, a Herald, also Odium, a Shard?
  3. and Cultivation fits in how?
  4. For the record I'm in my 7th reread of Arcanum Unbounded in a month
  5. So MaiPon forgery isn't necessarily an acquired trait.
  6. I just kicked myself... Duh!
  7. Did they have the flu, or ebola, or COVID, or any of these other earthly diseases in the Cosmere? Maybe Ruin's influence, or Odium's, or domination's?

    Spoiler

    oooh, autonomy used already existing natural interactions to cause other magical things to happen. Maybe it's autonomy's influence!

      Speaking of which, if I want to be awake to study tomorrow morning, I have to go hit the sack. Have a good night.

    3. Honorless

      Honorless

      Good night

  8. Right, but when you think "voidbringer" you think "WMD", not "little talking vine."
  9. We see that at the end of book 3. By the way, what is Teft? Being that Pattern is the name of Shallan's spren and Hoid finds another Pattern, it seems that each order has its own spren with one name. So if Wyndle is Lift's spren, that how is Maya also a lightweaver spren?
  10. By the way, I might be going back to boarding school on August 24. It's not official yet, because of the whole COVID-19 thing, but as of now, they're pretty sure they will be opening. They have some strict rules about devices that can access the Internet, and they only let us out on average for one weekend every 3 weeks, so you'll probably hear from me less often. It doesn't mean I'm dead. I mean, I am immortal. (per day, anyway. I still plan on asking questions, I'll just ask 3 weeks' worth of questions in the span of one weekend.)

      yeah, well...

      Their post high-school program allows such things, so maybe next year.

      Although, I am taking some post-high-school stuff, so I'll see.

      At least they let us eat instant noodles! :)

      Yeah, unfortunately they only have instant noodles in the canteen, so I have to buy them. The nerve of these people, making an immortal being pay to eat!

  11. so it's a cultural thing. There happen to be 10 gas giants, and 10 orders. The orders have their own symbols. So let's also assign those symbols to the gas giants. Is this correct?
  12. Just got back from vacation... On scadrial. (kidding. It was actually on earth. By the way, Earth has some great instant noodles.)

      I hear thew bacon is good too. I can't eat it, though.

  13. I mean, Arclo is literally sitting right there. Being that he is the Sleepless in the immediate vicinity, is it safe to assume it's his hordeling?
  14. Right. On scadrial, allomancy, feruchemy, and hemallurgy are interactions between the planet and the shards investing themselves in it. Trell literally comes in and forms a new way for this interaction between creatures and metal that changes the system. By the way, how did Paalm become affiliated with Trell?
  15. what powers? and you speculate based on what info?
  16. And on scadrial (maybe) it's the metal capturing the already existing magic and changing it, like the parasites change the Aviar and the microorganisms change the sand (allowing it to form solid things like steps, blades, springs)
  17. Threnody's symbol is an upside down V with 3 symbols around it. Do these three symbols correspond to the three things which draw shades? (sword=drawing blood, asterisk=spark=kindling fire) If so, how does the eye mean quick movement?
  18. I noticed that on Nazh's map of the Rosharan system, there are 10 uninhabitable planets. Each has some sort of symbol. The Edgedancer symbol appears on Vev, for example. Do each of the 10 orders correspond to a different planet? (some sort of connection in their spiritweb?) Also, Roshar itself has a different sign. Is this a symbol of Surgebinding in general?
  19. Why does Lift think that Wyndle is a Voidbringer, especially because she knows that Voidbringers generally didn't look like that?
  20. Lift tries slapping a cremling and it dodges. She thinks it laughs at her. She also thinks it's really weird. Is this really one of Arclo's hordelings, and not a cremling? After all, arclo is there.
  21. Why didn't the Nightwatcher grant her request?
  22. Wyndle says that Lift's conversation with a street urchin was extremely strange, and he once grew a garden for some keenspren. What are keenspren, and what would make it so strange?
