Commander Azure

I was writing an essay for school, when I realized I had accidentally capitalized Identity. Anyone else have any funny stories like that?

9 Unmade. The Sibling. What's 9+1? 10? Now, above, some people have theorized about how each Unmade corresponds to one order of Fused, and how Honor's Surge is unavailable to the Fused. Therefore, by corrupting the Sibling, they could get access to Adhesion. Which makes me think that each of those spren (the Unmade, the Sibling) corresponds to one Surge. However, the hole in my reasoning is that the Nightwatcher and Stormfather exist too. How valid do you think this is, however? On a side note, the reason the Radiants have two Surges and the Fused have one is because the Fused are of one Shard and the Radiants of two.

Hoid is the main character, not Kelsier because I think he does era 3. I don't even think Odium or at least this owner of Odium because I think Odium dies in Stormlight and either someone else takes him or the bad guy is autonomy. Sorry for getting off track I can only also think of Harmony. Can't wait to hear your ideas.

Um, what? Where are you getting this info?

My favorite part was when Spensa accidentally called Kaladin "Jerkface".

 Light that is being smothered/corrupted by the Light of another Shard creates a red color. Black "light" (like the smoke from Nightblood) must be "unattached" Investiture (no Shard's Intent)

I'm not sure if I'm misremembering and I doubt it would relate to Nightblood, but I'm pretty sure black "light" belongs to Ruin (I'm recalling the black smoke when he escaped from the Well)

Wit threatened to "slap him around again" thats the hint I noticed 

Yeah, that too. I'll edit my original post with all of the hints people find.

So, how certain are we now that Thaidakar is Kelsier? Thaidakar is called the Lord of Scars by Hoid (Lord of the Mists reference, and the scars on his arms most likely), he is described as having a situation similar to the Heralds (again, Kelsier). There are probably other hints that I missed, but I think it's a pretty safe assumption. This post will be edited as more evidence is posted.

EVIDENCE: 

The Lord of Scars

Situation similar to that of the Heralds

Wit threatened to "slap him around again"

Only two Radiant Orders have access to each Surge. However, three have access to Stoneshaping: Bondsmiths, Stonewards, and Willshapers. Stonewards and Willshapers each use the Stoneshaping Surge in Book 4 (Won't go into detail, as I don't want to put it on the spoiler boards), but Dalinar "healing" the temple in Thaylenah, in Book 3, was described by the Stormfather (I think) as an application of the Stoneshaping Surge, and, in addition, the Stormfather told Dalinar that Stoneshaping is the other of his two Surges.

If people in the cosmere were to find a planet with, say, just molecular life, do you think they'd put a giant speed bubble over the whole planet (knowing Brandon, that's probably possible) and watch how life evolves? That could be amazing for science.

So while Sazed turned into God, he wasnt able to resurrect Ven or even Elend but he only managed to reattach Elends' head to his body? ok sure whatever.

 

That the best Brandon Sanderson could do for the ending to the last book of the first Mistborn trilogy?  Stephen King writes better endings than that. Even any sci fi author for any  Star Wars book they end things right

Sazed wasn't actually God, he's...god. BIG difference comes from capitalization. He made Elend's body physically whole again but lower-g gods can't get the spirit back after it goes away is basically what happened. I understand your viewpoint having just read the first three mistborn books, but once you learn more about what's happening behind the scenes and read his other books, you'll start to realise what can and can't happen.

When?

I think he means, "when was that established?"

Although I certainly see possibilities for this type of thing. Also, can Allomancers burn Iron consumed in food?

Look. I have absolutely no idea how feasible this idea is but I just had the idea that the Rhythms the Parsh hear is somehow related to the pulses Bronze mistings hear. Please, prove me one way or another, but it is certainly interesting.

Dalinar keeps hearing the words "Unite them". The Stormfather says it isn't him, and I don't believe it's any vestige of Honor, Odium, or Cultivation, because they all use different formatting and are described differently. So what could it be? My theory is that it's some...I'm not sure what the term would be, but let's call it a Splinter of Adonalsium (Probably not a shard, though maybe). That Splinter is telling Dalinar to Unite the Shards of Adonalsium. It's foreshadowed left and right. "I am Unity," Dalinar says. What does that sound like? The name of a Shard, possibly two, joined together, like with Sazed. Odium says that Dalinar Ascended. Dalinar keeps hearing the words after he's united not only the highprinces but also the whole world (excepting Iriali and Shinovar). I simply can't think of anything else it could be.

One thing I'd like to know: How could they tell if a random planet, say, Scadrial is their 5th land or 7th land? Is it just the next planet they get to?

Shallan goes back in time to possess her own body and kill her mother, knowing that the resulting mental breakdown will be the only way to temporarily suppress her Radiant powers sufficiently so that Herald Nale does not murder her.

That would be a great idea IF Brandon hadn't said that there's no way to travel back in time.

Any cosmere experts want to help?

To manifest a Shardblade, you need to reach the third Ideal. To manifest Shardplate, you must reach the fourth Ideal. It follows logically that a good amount of Radiants had reached the third Ideal but not the fourth. Then, wouldn't there be significantly less Shardplate in the world than Shardblades?

Ideals are always sworn at a personal/moral climax (I will protect those I hate etc.), and I can't believe that Brandon is going to have Kaladin not say the fourth ideal, ever. What I think is going to happen is that one of the original Bridge Four Windrunners (Lopen, Teft, etc.) is going to die and he's going to say an oath along the lines of "I cannot protect everyone, no matter how hard I try."

That much I know, but the origin of your use!

Oh, that? I'm honestly not sure. I think it was around this time of year in 2017, so it wasn't mine for a long time before the book came out, but yeah, I really don't remember. I guess because Azure is a cool name for a color I like?

There's an Aon called Ati, it says that at the Ars Arcanum. Is it just a coincidence that that's also the name of a Shard, or no? Tanavast, for example, is not one of the aons. Did Aona have some sort of Connection to Ati, or is it just happenstance?

You just throw that out there and give us no explanation, that is not ok!

Vivenna in Stormlight III: Highmarshal, or Commander Azure.

That certainly is possible. I think.

Well we now know that Raysium isn't Trellium
