  1. So I just looked at your Translation, and I changed some of the Glyphs. This is specficlly the top line: I think the others might be different T H CH L D/Y F L K H SH N Y M S H (Mine) T H CH L Y F L TH H T N Y M S Y (Mojonero) *The L looks funny, with an extra stroke, but it's the closet. Our first area of disagreement is the TH/K, which I like to read as a 2 with a stroke from the bottom. Notably, it curves very slightly away from the left. K is a bit more spiky on the right, but that's easy enough to ignore. Next is the SH/T, which I think looks more like a SH, due to the curve on top, being upwards rather down downwards. The last are the Ys, which are so weird. The first doesn't really look like a Y or a D, but those are the closet ones. The last Y, however, looks more like an H. Compaing these two, they're almost identical, otther than a curve on the right. T H(E) CH(I)LD (O)F L(UC)K H(E) SH(I)N Y M(OA)SH Is my best Guess, The Child of luck Makes sense, but nothing else does.
  2. Now that is very cool. I very much agree with you; it seems like valor interfered here. The shardic descriptions seem like they follow the same form. It's not surprising that a place of almost 10,000 years of constant war drew in the god of couruge.
  3. Lift does not. I'm talking about investment in roshar; like as part of the planet's soul, not people.
  4. Yes It did happen later; but as you said shards have ??? reasons. I agree here; it makes no sense for her to even be able to hide. Valor, I assume is courage stripped of context. Foolish courage that rushes into something without thinking, without Reason, Mercy, Or Honor. Why the heck can she hide????? I would bet her future sight sucks, her shard is focused on now, what's right in front of her. Reason being hidden makes sense, but Valor? Unless somehow they've merged, Valor's shard should go to war with the vessel at the very idea of avoiding a conflict.
  5. I have absolutely no idea! I am very impressed by anything you drew out of this. For me it's just scribbles. But I will say, every other translation was Not in English. The stormlight one, for example, said "tavodovast" which mean's Tavast's light. So it's possible that it means something very cool in Alethi, but is nonsense in english.
  6. It really depends on how we see her next, if she left a large chunk of her power (beyond the spren) behind then it probably wasn't intended. If she didn't... then it looks intended, and she's just on step 20 of her 340000 step plan.
  7. I wouldn't call him a coward, but a Shard might. He stopped a direct confrontation by backstabbing an ally who wanted peace (BAM). If that's not cowardly, It's certainly not Valorous.
  8. The only thing that points it against it being part of her master plan is how she fled. We know Cultivation (the shard) is unhappy with how Korv is acting. It's possible that the *shard's* plan is different from hers, and while her plan failed, its did not.
  9. I bet her shardic intent wouldn't let her help tannavast anyway. He's a coward: Valor's Shard would Rebel against helping a coward flee or survive the consequences of his own actions
  10. One quick issue, Mercy's inntent, as far as I can tell is NOT "do no harm" it's "End Suffering" which results in things like her putting down Ambition. Devotion is the healer, not mercy.
  11. Spoilers for everything but unreleased is allowed here
  12. I would just assume it's the Dawnshards, there are 4 of them. What makes Odium or Honor not Relational? Hatred and oaths connect people. Why is valor not an aspect of your personality? It's courage in the face of battle. Devotion is like mercy, why is that not with Odium?
  13. I just finished WAT.

  14. NOOO THEY PURGED THE MEMBER INFOOO

  15. I suppose you could call lighting from the sky, but only when a large charge is already present. Less lighting blast, more lighting rod. As Alder said, friction is the force that generates lighting, and you can't just make a charge from nothing, at least not by the power of pressure.
  16. Don't get me started on life and void binding! Also, note, the old magic is not the magic system of cultivation!
  17. You would be correct in your guess! The levels of Surgebinding, personal growth, all of this stuff is related to cultivation. Good Idea!
  18. From what we've seen, adhesion sticks things together, whether it's physically or spiritually. Also, pressure and vacuum are largely irrelevant to the formation of lightning; while thunder is made via high-pressure air, thunder is a result of lighting, not the cause. Lighting is a cascade of energy turning the air into plasma, which is more or less fire.
