This is from some other fictional story right? If so, why is radiant coalition fighting Odium if doing thing by force is only serving Odium? Is sending troops to Herdaz any different? The nation became detached after the contest, when the oathgates stopped working so it can not be taken as argument Jasnah could have taken into account. I am not sure about populace loving being on Odium side either.

Can somebody explain to me why after losing the "debate", Jasnah has not even thought about taking Thaylena by military force? From what I understand, she had largest force in the city, could get more troops if needed via Oathgate, she herself was immune to assasination as 4th oath radiant. As far as I know, there are no issues with her oaths that should forbid it. She is the person that prepar/considered to: assasinate other leaders (even her sister in law, as we were reminded) murder all singers so that fused would not have bodies to inhabit murder Heralds so that they stop Fused from coming The only resolution to this issue I managed to come up with is that Wit is so witty because he sucks all the wit from people he sleeps with

This smells to me like "Kaladin will be Jezrien 2.0" but the renewal of oathpact does not seem like something that works with everything else going on, so I am sceptical...

@alder24Yes, sorry for spreading bad information. Somehow I internalised that Hoid is tapping Fortune using Feruchemy. However, it is not that he did not gained the ability, it is he tried and it is unknown whether he succeeded as per WoB you mentioned.

*** Not confirmed *** Feruchemy can be also be gained in another way, other than hereditary and hemalergy. Hoid somehow gained access to it in Era 1, while he is not spiked and from different planet. Warbreaker content

Thanks for your predictions, entertaining read. Before my personal opinions, one point worth mentioning is that the quote regarding "4 we watch" comes from sleepless: This may not mean "us" by all Rosharians, but maybe just sleepless. What do they need to be redeem from? To what degree can they be destroy? Just some food for thought ;). I really like your points on Shallan. Connecting loose threads of Heleran, her Mother sound like something Brandon would do. Regarding Kaladin, I like him more as Jezrien 2.0, but him ascending seems like something that could fill similar role, moving Kal into more of a background, without killing him. Dalinar is problematic, because there is no reader's consensus on what is really going on. What is Unity (Dawnshard, shard reIntended)? What does "We killed you!" precisely means? BondSmith unchained is one thing, but being bonded to largest piece of dead shard is something extra on top of it. What does ascending to Honor look like in this scenerio? Is there some pool somewhere? somebody like semi dead Leras walking around? Can Dalinar just touch Kaladin chest and make him ascend? If you have device like the one in Secret History, can you just active it and ascend? Can somebody ascend without Dalinar help/agreement, or without killing him? Without assuming some answers to the questions above, it is hard to speculate. The idea of ending supply Stormlight seems interesting, and something that could be left as a cliff-hanger, for Radians to learn to cope with during time skip. I would describe Szeth more in light of working to regain faith in his own judgement, he is the one that treats it most sacred in his family in his flashback from book 5, but in the end, He is the one to go with his convictions, questioning stone shamans, making him Truthless. Also, I the 4th ideal crusade is weird, as it works differently than other oaths, as it said before knight does anything, other that picking a goal. I would assume, that perks from 4th ideal, would only kick in, once the crusade is completed ( or bit by bit as it is being completed). Hence, I do not see Szeth pretty much doing 2 oaths in 1 book, especially, the ones that are said to be the hardest.

Not sure about rest of the theory but Galivar 100% has some connection to Odium. Ulim (a voidspren) is delivered by Axindweth who is close to Galivar, Eshonai says she seems like his once mate (they seem to be close). So by some simple networking, there is connection. Not sure how strong though. Galivar also has some access to voidlight spheres, which points to some contact with Braise/Odium.

I think that the pressure distribution would definitely change as the fluid pressure is function of flow speed, which would be different without friction. I would presume, that the flow over the wing would be faster relative to the flow below it, than normally, reducing the lifting force. The angle of attack would be more relevant, and the plane would most like need to increase it to maintain altitude. I agree with first sentence, but why does the speed of sound matter here? You mean by moving toward turbulent flow? I would argue that removing friction would allow to maintain laminar flow for higher speeds. P.S. Not sure whether it is the best place to continue discussion, and if not, is there some option to moving this thread if I want to engage with the answers?

Lift sits in a plane. After not too appetizing meal she coats the plane in slickness. What happens? a) plane speeds up as drag force is neglected. (glider could fly indefinutely) b) plane starts to follow parabolic trajectory as aerodynamical forces are both neglected. c) something else. Any ideas?

The thing is that we do not have a single entry regarding any specific skybreaker action prior to Shallan. From what I gathered: 1. Honorspren seem all to be against bonding and only after Syl bonds Kaladin there is some change there. 2. Cryptics decide to start bonding and Shallan seems to be first one they try. 3. Stormfather Bonds Dalinar and maybe also a bit of something with somebody else shortly before (Stormlight 5 prologue), Simbling "sleeping", Nightwatcher playing with boons. 4. Inkspren think of bonding similar to assassination, Adolin hears in Lasting Integrity that the solution is to try to kill human prior to bond forming (kind of similar to what skybreakers were doing) 5. Cultivationspren similar to cryptics, decide (Ring) to bond Lift only after Cryptics and Honorspren. 6. Ashspren do not like humans. 7. Mistspren, some shananigans with Sja-anat but also no information. 8. Lightspren (Reachers) - no information to anything prior True desolation. 9. Peakspren - no relevant information To me it is not obvious why there should be any rouge spren trying to bond prior to coming of true desolation. We know that they were as that was what Nale was dealing with. One incident per month, year, decade? No idea, we have records of only what happened near True Desolation which is when things accelerated. Presumably, the individual spren would remember that Nale did play spoiler in their bonding, but we have no mention of that. Maybe Syl for hundreds of years was bonding humans but before she could gain more sapiens in PR her bonding target was killed and she has no recollection of that. Just a happy speculation ;).

So to summarize: - investiture in perpendicularity comes from spiritual realm (most likely) - it can be open by accumulating ton of investiture or some form of invested art (bondsmithing, elsecalling) So to answer the question: I would say that this would most likely be stormlight, Braize is in Rosharian planetary system so Connection to Honor investiture should not be an issue. But if it was done on Scadrial, there could be some connection stuff happening to planet or/and it's CR and it could be filled with something like invested mist (Preservation/Harmony light)? Or could Ishar possible do some more bondsmithing and get light connected to any shard if he had some connection to it previously? There is also an issue with Herald leaving the system so it might be even less straight forward...

Warbreaker the Peaceful is one of Vasher names, the first one he got after his return. Maybe it was unnecessary confusing to use 3 different names of the same character in title and first post... Whether it is 100% possible, it is hard to say. The healing is greater than surge of regrowth, as it restores Susebron's tongue which was cut off ~50 years prior. So it involves some shenanigans with spirit web. Most likely, the effect could depend on command used, but that should not be an issue, as Vasher seems to be one of the best at this, and he should have understanding of the issue. I would not be surprised if Vasher could help Taln without giving his Return Breath, using some weird "normal breath" mental commands as he did with little girl in Warbreaker. But this would set bad precedences as most mental issues could be solved that way. But this is just speculation as there is very little information on how this works.

Ishar's perpendicularity is kind of interesting in a way that, it is not clear to me, from where is investiture coming from. In case of Dalinar, it is most likely Stormfather's Investiture being concentrated to allow for 3 realms to collapse into one. Is it explained anywhere whether the source of investiture in spheres comes from spiritual realm or the Stormfather? Mantaining singularity is taxing on Dalinar, but this must be something that can not be fully-countered by stormlight, so it is propably something to do with Connection etc. Ishar singularity - either: - Ishar has access to some being with large amount of investiture - Ishar himself is invested enough - Bondsmith honourblade is the source of investiture - Bondsmith singularities somehow work differently - Ishar is doing Bondsmith singularity differently or some combinations of those. Now depending on how it works, Ishar would or would not be able to open singularity somewhere else. If he is takes Investiture from Honor, not sure if he could do it on Scadrial. And if the investiture comes from spiritual realm and not from the source of investiture used to open it, then, we can only speculate to which shard would the Investuture be connected to. Maybe if you are humming properly, you can get anti-investiture singularity ;).

I was wondering, what is the narative goal of having Vasher on Roshar. Based on his "Return Name", he might play a role in trying to secure a peaceful resolution in SA book 5 or later on. He could give up his Return Breath to heal somebody (like Taln from his Heraldic Madness, to allow him to be chosen as Honor's champion). My issue with this is that if reader is not familiar with Warbreaker, this will be quite out of place. It is easier to understand that Nightblood is some sort of shardblade on steoroids and it could kill a shard's vessel, meanwhile some weird ardent swordman who commands clothing randomly having some magical healing ability seems much less reasonable (atleast to me, when I am trying to think what I would be thinking without reading Warbreaker if this hypothetical would happen). So maybe Zahel is just waiting for some other conflict later, drinking in sweet free stormlight instead of street urchin's Breath on Nalthis. His main role in SA was to transport Nightblood to Roshar. Any ideas?

Also, Sazed lied to Kelsier at the end of Mistborn secret history when talking about hemalurgy.
