"That I had changed you into someone who could bear this power with honor" I take this line from RoW literally, especially after the events of WaT. I do believe that her plan all along was to facilitate a consolidation of Honor/Odium. I also believe she will give up her Shard at some point, although not sure why or how.

Scadrial was basically destroyed by the end of HoA, everyone would have died if Harmony didn't reshape the planet after Ascending.

Brando said the book was too long. I say he should've removed the entire debate between Jasnah/Taravangian and put in the dang Arcanum.

No, I don't think so. I have a hunch that Autonomy has been playing a role in Roshar in the background, helping Odium in some way. We shall see.

The Wind accepted Kal's Oath. Regardless, I do believe Taravangian would be forced to accept the words if they are said with the proper Intent.

I still think Lift is a dragon, idc if Brando said otherwise lol.

1. Oathbringer 2. Words of Radiance (top 2 are basically interchangeable for me) 3. Way of Kings 4. Rhythm of War 5. Shadows of Self 6. Warbreaker 7. Hero of Ages 8. Yumi 9. Emperor’s Souls 10. The Final Empire

I agree with a lot of this. While there are strategies an Allomancer can come up with to kill a Surgebinder, I think the base power of any Surgebinder is too hard to ignore. (imo stormlight healing is OP and basically ends the argument itself). Even the most powerful Allomancer with Atium can’t catch a Windrunner if they fly away, much less if they have living Shardplate on. I love seeing the creative ideas people come up with for how an Allomancer could win in a fight. Like I don’t think Shallan is going to beat Vin in a 1v1. But if we staged 100 random fights, I’d bet money on Radiants winning 75%+. And that’s assuming many Mistborn do have small amounts of Atium they can use. Atium could give Mistborn an advantage, but Stormlight healing is OP and could probably outlast it.

That would make much more sense.

In the scene with Hoid, Harmony and Wax in Alloy of Law, Harmony says something interesting to Wax. He's talking about the way humanity has progressed on Scadrial since his Ascension. “You don’t explore, Harmony continued, ignoring Wax’s confusion. Why would you? You have everything you want here. You’ve barely progressed technologically from what I gave you in the books. Yet others, who were nearly destroyed …” Could the "others, who were nearly destroyed" be a reference to mankind on Roshar? People that were nearly destroyed by Desolations, and then built up technology and civilization for thousands of years afterwards? Even if this is the case, it's really not much at all, but I thought it was an interesting idea.

I disagree. A few years ago he directly confirmed that RoW's prologue would be from Navani's perspective, and book 5 would be Gavilar. So Brandon has spoiled future viewpoints in the past. However, I think the reason he RAFO'd this question is because he doesn't want to explicitly confirm anything that happens after the end of book 5. I fully believe that it will be from Hoid's perspective though. I completely and utterly disagree. The entire theme of the Stormlight Archive is about redemption and growth. "Journey before destination". What you do in the past doesn't define your future, and anyone can take the next step towards being a better person. Moash might be the best possible example of this at the current time in the series. If we're gonna sit here and accept Dalinar in spite of the monster he used to be, then we need to accept the idea that Moash is not irredeemable.

Well damn there you go lol. I will say that Hoid talking to a Skaze doesn't imply that he would know exactly what it was. I stand by my theory. That's what I said... I'm theorizing that they could be anti-Investiture Splinters of Dominion. And if this were the case, then there's no way Brandon would hint at that being the case in previous WoBs. He has a long history of dodgy and misinterpreted WoBs in the past.

I don't understand why you think Hoid wouldn't know more than Khriss? He has been alive since before the Shattering, knows each original Vessel personally, was previously a Dawnshard, and his been to every world that a book has taken place on, except Threnody (that we know of).

I have no idea where that quote came from. I got it from this page https://stormlightarchive.fandom.com/wiki/Khriss#Sel Khriss says that anti-Investiture has been "long theorized". It isn't that she was unaware of the possibility, only that she didn't know how it could be made. If a group of people on Sel figured out how to do that, it makes complete sense that they would keep that knowledge hidden.

Well Khriss is actually wrong about anti-Investiture in the Ars Arcanum. Gavilar had a sphere of it 7 whole years before RoW, but Khriss didn't know about it until after Navani figured out how to make it. From stormlightarchive.fandom.com: "She's begun to wonder if something greater is happening on Sel than they, at Silverlight University, have guessed. Something with origins lost in time. She believes that there is a link between entities known as seons and skaze and the puzzle of Sel's nature". So Khriss clearly doesn't fully understand what's happening on Sel, and she doesn't know how Seons and Skaze are linked. I guess it could be possible that Skaze are essentially anti-Seons too, based on this passage.
