Wait, he read them already? Where can i watch that?

You called that decent draft!? It's fantastic! I think the introduction is really marvelous and the chapters are amazing, the introduction is more to my liking, because I don't like reading a summary along my book, just introduction before. But it's amazing nonetheless.

Sorry to interrupt, but don't Dominion is of the elantrians and Devotion of the derethi? ”merciful domi" etc. Edit:turn out my assumption was wrong: BrandonColevander Are [Jaddeth] & [Domi] the Shards Dominion & Devotion? Peter Ahlstrom Domi is more Devotion and Jaddeth is more Dominion. But there is some mixing. The shard holders were Aona and Skai. General Twitter 2015 (Feb. 19, 2015)

Sorry for the resurrection of that thread:) I agree with @robardin that he was under Unmade's influence. And I think we should read Unmade's influence in most cases like Turnings in WoT, when those strong enough can resist it (like Logain) and those not strong enough (like almost all others) should be considered under compulsive influence and be judged in accordance to it. In Stormlight, we cannot judge the Alethi and Vedens because the influence of the Thrill (there are some leeway in that statement because it seems that they can choose sometimes, and it seems Sadeas can choose). And cannot judge the people of Kholinar who succumb to Ashertmarn. We CAN judge Amaram and his soldiers, and Aesudan because they chose to be the nasty people they were even before the Thrill and the Voidspren took them. And in Amaram and Aesudan case I even think thay WERE strong enough to resist but chose otherwise. In Moash situation I don't think he was even influenced by unmade, he just chose to be free of his conscience. And if Kaladin was turning to Odium side, I think we could blame him too, because it's a matter of choice for him. The same for Dalinar the Latter. I think that early Dalinar don't have the power to resist. That is questionable, because it seems that he judge himself on his actions then. That's according to what I remember of the books. I could be wrong obviously. Apoint to Lin Davar credit, shallan thought about him in WoR chapter 45: "Shallan could remember a time when she’d rarely, if ever, seen him angry." So it was all after the incidence with shallan's mother. Can be just him reacting wring and not an unmade, guess we'll learn more as we learn about shallan's past.

From chapter 45, when shallan see a parrot (chicken) that speaks: "Shallan jumped back. The word was mangled by the creature’s inhuman voice, but it was recognizable. “A Voidbringer!” she hissed, safehand to her chest. “An animal that speaks! You’ll bring the eyes of the Unmade upon us.” The merchant laughed. “These things live all over Shinovar, young lady. If their speech drew the Unmade, the entire country would be cursed!” Dear shallan, it seems that the unmade eyes were already upon you, and shinovar entire country...

So, hebrew translations. I've read the books mostly in english because they are cheaper that way and it was wonderful way to work on my english. But I will wrote what I know. Shards: Preservation (english) | שימור [same meaning imo] Ruin (english)| הרס [same] Odium (english)| שנאה [=hatred] Honor (english)| כבוד [respect, honor] Cultivation (english)| טיפוח. [I guess it's fine, also mean taking shower or putting cream on the face..] Dominion | שררה. [More like ministry] Ambition | שאפתנות [exact translation] Knights radiants: Windrunners (english)| שועטי רוחות [wind = רוח. Gallop = שועט.] Skybreakers (english)| שוברי שחקים [break=שובר. In hebrew there are multiple words for sky. שחקים is a poetic one.] Dustbringers (english) | אבות אבק. [Dust fathers..] Edgedancers (english)| מרקדי קצוות. [It's edges, plural] Truthwatchers (english)| משגיחי אמת. [More like truth supervisers] Lightweavers (english)| אורגי אור. [Exact translation] Elsecallers (english)| קוראי האחרת. [The worst imo. More like "those who call to the other female". Cumbersome.] Willshapers (english)| מעצבי רצון. [Can be translated Will designers. But also work for shapers] Stonewards (english)| שומרי אבן. [Stone guardians/protectors] Bondsmith (english)| חרש כבלים. [For smith it's good translation. But it's more like "smith of ropes;-)" usually we don't use that word for abstract meaning.] Dawnshard (english)| רסיס שחר. Investiture| השקעה. [Like investment] I'll add more but I need to check in the books. All in all, hebrew is not a language for made-up fantasy names. The language has a seriousness to it and many of the names above sound ridiculous in hebrew imo. It gives them seriousness they do not intend to have, and in english they are much lighter. But maybe it's because I don't know english well enough. Good night! (Or maybe afternoon for you)

Is anyone interested in hebrew translation?

actually, you did it quite good! Sure I couldn't. But the things that matter is the sound of the letters in the word and not the actual letter. I wiil explain with examples. From the text of the book: "hell and hate must halt" (the t sound is what matter and not the e letter because we dont pronounce it ) Killed can confound" (k=c) So in your last phrase (demons demand desperate divine deeds) desperate is "t" and not "e" and divine is "n" and not "e". In second thought maybe I'm wrong. Because hell and hate aren't following the exact pattern (it should be hate and hell must halt and not the other way around) so maybe it's not part of the poetry pattern and so I don't have solid evidence that I'm right about the sound thing. Beg your pardon @ConfusedCow

@LuckyJim perhaps you're right. But I think that tendency is justified even if its lead us to wrong assumptions and interpretations. Brandon write in a way that whenever I reread one of his books I discover more forshadowing. So perhaps its nothing this time, but many times its implying something.

"It was as if … as if they were trying to hit where Ishar was, while he was able to move in anticipation of where they would be." (ch. 111) My point is, that's Spiritual Realm something, and not his skill.

Maybe someone already pointed this out, but I think Zu mention an application of Tension, perhaps the only pure one that we get in-book (Dalinar in OB had used both adhesion and tension). "One of those two can shape stone at her will and make clothing into weapons" (chapter 32) shaping stone is an application of Cohesion and make clothing into weapons is Tension thing probably.

Maybe the process of summoning the shardblade gave Testament enough physical reality that she can use her powers then

Havoc (paraphrased) In Way of Kings, Shallan is being chased by Cryptics. She begins to summon her Shardblade, stops and then Soulcasts for the first time. We know from Words of Radiance that it's her bond to Pattern, her Shardblade that allows her to Soulcast. So my question is, if Shallan had not begun to summon her Blade, would she have been able to Soulcast? Brandon Sanderson (paraphrased) She would not have been able to. Good question! Wow. No one has ever asked me that before. GollanczFest London (Oct. 17, 2015) just find that! look like it was Testament in that scene

In chapter 116 the pursuer said "i was on braize for barely a day defore i felt the pull"

How do i sign spoilers in the body of my message?

Aether mini spoiler

Daa[edit] Aon Daa is the preferred offensive weapon of the Elantrians. When drawn successfully a burst of light is emitted that warps and twists the air around it. The light then strikes its target with considerable explosive force.[7] did it sound like anti light to you?

Shllan mentioned that she fulfilled all the missions given to her by the ghostblood. Maybe the big change in the war is the relevation that sja anat switch sides? That was her last mission in OB
