  1. Salas Mishim Jes Nan Kak Tanat Mashe Ralen Nizh Da Monody Elegy Purity Third of the Sun Nightstar Obrodai Removed Nomon. That's no moon, it's a spren station. Which one has the name that's the funnest to pronounce?
  2. The biggest one that I can think of at the moment is that when I was watching a TED talk about how often people lie, I lied to my parents and said that I was working on my homework. It's probably not the biggest lie I've ever told, but it's certainly the most memorable.
  3. The next Cosmere book will be The Lost Metal (Wax & Wayne 4), which is going to come next year.
  4. Lasalen woke up from a very strange dream in which they were a character in a story (now that was just silly, they were obviously real) and they, along with several others, had killed the private investigator for the strangest of reasons.That made no sense! Even though the detective could have been the murderer, he certainly wasn't the most suspicious person in the town by a wide margin.
  5. I think that as a result of the trip, something big will definitely happen with the deadeyes and they'll likely be revived, adding potentially thousands of new Radiants. Even though the benefit from the direct goal of the trip won't be that enormous since many honorspren aren't willing to bond even though it's allowed, the consequences will be enormous. Because spren will soon start to actually die in battle, reinforcements will be vital.
  6. The idea of the Shard of Ruin?
  7. Shardblade is a generic Rosharan term for any magic sword.
  8. I'll take a truth and a dare.
  9. This game was really fun. Thanks @Sart for running it. My one-turn Shadowblaze plot definitely worked out since it got me access to the trusted villager planning PM, even though that didn't matter that much in the end. ~~~~~~~~ Min ran into a building and locked the door behind them. They had been found out and half the camp was searching for them. Min whispered to the Forgotten hiding on their skin "I've fulfilled our contract. Do you have the Shadowblaze ready?" They hadn't managed to sabotage the camp enough to let any wild chalklings out, but they had acquired the army's plans, which should be enough, The Forgotten slithered across their face and into their eyes, and Min felt themselves lose control of their body. It was an odd, uncomfortable feeling, but it wasn't that unpleasant once they got used to it. "It's on its way," The Forgotten said through Min's mouth. It crawled out of Min's eyes, down their body, and under the door, and returned with a Shadowblaze in a little chalk box with chalkling guards around it. Min was going to miss the Forgotten's perfect circles and lines, but having control over their own body while doing Rithmatics was worth it. Min heard loud footsteps outside the door, then the sound of wood snapping. They grabbed the Shadowblaze - they could bond to it later - and broke the soulstamps tying the Cosmere to this world. They snapped back into the aluminum-insulated room filled with soulstamps that they had left several weeks ago. Now, as they had planned to several weeks earlier, they were ready to travel through the Cosmere.
  10. It's not exactly a language, it's basically just a dialect of English (or Scadrian or whatever) because it uses essentially the same words but has different grammar, so it wouldn't really fit into Duolinguo.
  11. One that I came up with: "Like green in a sunset" For something that should logically exist but that people typically don't notice. Sunsets go from red/orange at the horizon to blue at the top of the sky, so there should logically be some greenish color in there at some point, but most people don't thing of sunsets as having green in them.
  12. Those metaphors certainly rock. You can't get much boulder than using so many stone metaphors, especially if they get a rocky reception.
  13. I think that we're meant to believe that mistakenly, but my theory is that he's alive. I don't think that such a major character would be killed offscreen (or off-main-series, when the Rock novella is made.) I can think of two potential alternatives at the moment, though there are probably more: 1. He's become a Nuatoma or the king, so he'd have to stay at the peaks and rule 2. He needs to go on a worldhopping adventure that will take a long time (and he'll possibly return in era 2)
  14. Lasalen hummed as they walked down the street with their new ducks in a cage on a cart behind them. They had won these ducks off a gambler and it would be nice to finally have some animals to experiment on. When they got to their workshop, Lasalen realized that the cage wouldn't fit through any of the doors, even the larger door to the storage room. Maybe if I open the cage door into the storage room I could get the ducks in and then herd them to the testing room, Lasalen thought, they can't do too much damage in the short time they're loose, right? Just in case, I'll put the poisons and explosives in the front room. The moment Lasalen let the ducks into the storage room, they went wild. Four ducks jumped into some vats of dye, another two headed for the medicine corner, and yet another three started flapping around the room and knocking vials over. This had been a bad idea. I'm signing up as Lasalen, an alchemist/duck wrangler
  15. I know that I'm not an elim, so I'll vote Burnt Gears.
  16. I'm a linguistic descriptivist so I don't think that there's such a thing as any single "right" grammar, but I do find myself "correcting" people's grammar out of habit sometimes.
