Do you think it'd look better if the words were on a stylistic ribbon/banner or just by it? I've always struggled with how the women's script ends up looking, tbh.

I want to get the Knights Radiant symbol tattooed on my chest and want to include a quote but not sure how to place it or what quote to use. I put it here because of the idea of the quotes could be spoiler-y. I was thinking of "always the next step" but not sure where it would be placed properly (or stylistically) or if that's the best option for the knights radiant symbol overall.

Did kaladin actually get the tattoo?

Little equation I just wrote up # Cosmere "gravity math": Lashings (L) × Feruchemical Iron (I) # Definitions # m = true mass (baseline) # g = normal gravitational acceleration # L = Lashing multiplier on g (1 = 1g, 2 = 2g, etc.) # I = Feruchemical iron multiplier on effective weight/inertia # W = weight (force due to gravity) # a = resulting acceleration # Step 1 — Baseline weight W = m * g # Step 2 — Apply a Lashing (modifies gravitational acceleration) g' = L * g W_L = m * g' = m * (L * g) # Step 3 — Apply Feruchemical Iron (scales effective weight/inertia) W_LI = I * W_L = I * m * (L * g) # Step 4 — Newton’s 2nd Law (equate total force to m * a) F = m * a # Step 5 — Set gravitational/Invested force equal to m * a m * a = I * m * (L * g) # Step 6 — Cancel m (m ≠ 0) and solve for a a = I * L * g Taken further to introduce drag: # From Iron+Lashing → adding aerodynamic drag (step-by-step) # GIVEN DEFINITIONS # m = true mass # g0 = baseline gravity # L = Lashing multiplier on gravity (1 = 1g, 2 = 2g, etc.) # I = Feruchemical iron multiplier (I<1 storing; I>1 tapping) # ρ = air density # Cd = drag coefficient # A = reference area # k = 0.5 * ρ * Cd * A (drag constant) # v = speed along the acceleration direction # 1) Lashings only (no iron, no drag) # a = L * g0 # 2) Include Feruchemical iron as an external force multiplier # F_total = I * m * (L * g0) # Using F = m * a: # m * a = I * m * (L * g0) # a = I * L * g0 # (This is our previously derived endpoint.) # 3) Introduce quadratic drag opposing motion # F_drag = k * v^2 (opposite direction) # 4) Write Newton’s 2nd Law with drag # m * dv/dt = I * m * (L * g0) - k * v^2 # 5) Divide by m to get the acceleration ODE # dv/dt = I * L * g0 - (k/m) * v^2 # 6) Terminal velocity (dv/dt = 0) # 0 = I * L * g0 - (k/m) * v_t^2 # (k/m) * v_t^2 = I * L * g0 # v_t = sqrt( (I * L * g0 * m) / k ) # = sqrt( (2 * I * L * g0 * m) / (ρ * Cd * A) ) # 7) Optional variant if you treat iron as scaling inertia too: # Let m_eff = I * m, so: # (I * m) * dv/dt = I * m * (L * g0) - k * v^2 # dv/dt = L * g0 - (k / (I * m)) * v^2 # Terminal velocity (dv/dt = 0): # v_t = sqrt( (I * L * g0 * m) / k ) # same result as Step 6 Summary # ODE with drag (standard form): # dv/dt = I * L * g0 - (k/m) * v^2 # (or L * g0 - k/(I m) * v^2 if inertia scales) # Terminal velocity: # v_t = sqrt( (2 * I * L * g0 * m) / (ρ * Cd * A) )

Lashing affects gravity. Weight is a measure of gravity's pull on you (roughly). If they stored 100%, ofntheir weight, I think their lashing would be less effective because it would reduce the pull their lashing is having on them.

The problem ls that this would require two metal properties- aluminum and duralumin because aluminum shields but duralumin doesn't. We don't see Bronze having the effect of noth Bronze and Copper. Besides, if it was duralumin there'd be no reason to be so circumspect about what it is from a writing perspective. This is also the clash where some anti investiture was created. I also want to posit that Brandon has revealed Braize has a unique attribute at its core that attracts investiture abd Canticle also has a unique interaction with investiture. Whatever the fourth moon is, it was part of the overall construction Adonalsium placed in the system. Like...some sort of machine where Roshar. The fourth moon (maybe the other three as well), and Braize act as individual parts.

I could see this if we assume the glowing is due to the plate not being fully dead now.

I am relistening to Words of Radiance and realized something - the first time Taravangian and the diagram fail is when Kaladin fights and beats Szeth. The diagram saw many people and was almost assuredly made with access to fortune. It didn't see Kaladin specifically. It saw that some people would get oaths but the existence of Kaladin was the first thing that beat taravangian. Later, in Wind and Truth, Ishar says he did not "see" Kaladin in his plans. We know Ishar accessed fortune. The Wind clearly has access to fortune. Has the wind been influencing Kaladin in subtle ways causing him to be hard to see with Fortune? I think the only time we know that someone DID foresee things about him was Odium when he told Rayse that Kaladin would become more dangerous.

Ive been considering this and the nature of the nahel bond. Honor is becoming self aware so at some point it may not want a vessel but may decide it needs a nahel bond to develop further since it is a melding of souls. It would still be its own being acting of its own will but it would be receiving part of a humans soul to help it grow - like Dalinar and the stormfather The problem with this is that their unoathed scene technically Ll takes place before the battle starts on the top of urithiru.

Honestly im not sure that the heralds are stuck on roshar anymore. Spren are able to leave the subastral now

Shallan didn't suck. Her plot just didn't matter.

To be honest, a lot of what we see sounds like feruchemy and allomancy in effect even if not mechanics. Limited future sight and drastically enhanced physical abilities.

I liked it because if reinforces hos Taravangian puts up a front. He talks about doing what's best for everyone but that's not it. It's about power for himself.

I was thinking about the Nohadon stuff with this, to be honest. We still don't really have an explanation for those visions - especially the last one which seemed not to be made by Dalinar while holding Honor.
