    In the future, simply report the thread and say you'd want it moved. Reports go out to all mods, pinging individual ones is... mildly irritating.

    Hmm. This throws a pretty nasty wrench in a lot of things. Also, Brandon has referred to that chart as a Voidbinding chart, so maybe this is just Isaac mislabeling it. I don't like this, I think I am going to ignore it for now...

    Welcome, welcome! I hope you enjoy your time here If you are looking for something more casual than the forums, and you really hate having free time, we also have a Discord server. And, once you've got all of the Cosmere under your belt, Arcanum is our archive of Words of Brandon - interview snippets and Q&As in which the fandom tries to extract as many of his precious brain secrets while he tries to give us the most frustrating and vague answers guard them. One thing that's not super well known these days, because it's kind of buried in Brandon's website, are his annotations (which you can find near the bottom of this page). They include his thoughts and commentaries on his earlier books, and can be read both while you read each book (as the spoilers are clearly marked) and after you are done with it (because the spoilers often reveal clever foreshadowing and hidden details). Give them a shot if you haven't, both Mistborns you've read have good annotations Finally, see if you can squeeze Warbreaker before you continue on with Words of Radiance. Can't tell you why exactly, but it is widely accepted that it makes the experience better.

    Weird, I don't get that. @Mestiv and/or @Chaos might need to take a look, but until then, can you provide some standard Internet information - OS, browser, versions, etc.?

    Is this something new from ICon?

    Something like this would normally go into General Brandon Discussion (which is where I am moving it). The Coppermind Wiki forum should be used for things relevant to, well, the Coppermind Wiki. EDIT: After reading your other thread on the etymology of Narak I see why you posted this one in the same place. Given the WoB clarifying Kaladin's name I don't think his Hindi meaning needs a trivia bullet point, but it can work as a General Brandon Discussion thread; which is where I'll leave it still.

    Numberings

    Argent replied to GoWibble's question in Cosmere Q&A

    I feel like over the year we've fixated a little too much on "Shardic numbers" when I am not sure they are anything other than symbolic. The real reason 16 is a big deal is because Brandon liked how divisible it was. Some Shards have colors and numbers that are important to them, but most don't. I don't think it's a useful thing to think about; not much at least.

    True, but it's still in the wrong forum for Warbreaker talk. I agree that it's cumbersome to navigate spoiler tags everywhere, so I'll just edit the topic title with the appropriate spoiler warning, and if @Beggar prefers it to stay Stormlight-only, or moved to the Cosmere Discussion forum, we can do that.
  10. Argent
    Let's keep marking Warbreaker spoilers as such in this forum.
  11. Argent
    Oh no, not the can of worms!

    I've been enjoying seeing those pop up on Reddit, but I don't go there often enough to keep up (I hadn't seen the Alethkar one, for example, until now) - so I am happy to see you here, on my turf Do your methods depend on having an existing map that you can up-res and polish, or can you do things from scratch as well? It might be interesting to see your take on some unmapped locations if it's the latter.
  13. Argent
    I changed the title so it's not as spoilery as it was before; we don't want to spoil some innocent bystander. I hope you don't mind a little clickbait in there
  14. Argent
    Let's avoid topics that generalize the entire community. "No one" and "everyone" are bound to be incorrect virtually all the time, so claims that include them will tend to upset people.

    More information about "Rhythm of War Prologue, (no) Starsight Tour, and Inktober"
    Brandon started the con strong, by reading from Stormlight #4 which is now unofficially locked in as The Rhythm of War (unless something exceptional happens). This is a brand new reading and it covers some of the prologue - not the bit with the Heralds, that's the prelude, but Gavilar's murder. This time we see it from Navani's perspective, only the reading doesn't actually go quite that far. We've got both the audio and the transcription so you can go check them out right here on Arcanum. And while you are there, if you would like to contribute, we are in the process of transcribing the two signings, so there might be a little bit of work for you In other - and sadder - news, Brandon has confirmed that he won't be touring for the sequel to Skyward, Starsight. There will still be a midnight release party in Utah, but Brandon feels like he needs to spend some extra time working on Stormlight if he wants to be done with it by the end of the year. And finally, some news about pretty things. Artists around the world occasionally set challenges for themselves, and one of the best known ones is Inktober - drawing something in ink for every day of October. This year, I worked with Isaac (Stewart), art director at Dragonsteel, to create an official Cosmere Inktober prompts list, which you can find on Instagram and Twitter. Join in, if you are artistically inclined!

    This could probably be reworded to match the WoB better. I don't think it's contradictory, but it makes a false assumption (i.e. that harmonium can be distilled).

    It's just an artifact of him storing health. While he stores he is much susceptible to "the sniffles" - and simply stopping his storage doesn't get rid of the cold he's caught while storing.

    I am still making my way through The Emperor's Soul GA adaptation, but I expect I'll be giving this a shot. Unless their release schedule for the next two volumes is more aggressive, and I can just wait before getting all 3.
  19. Argent
    In the future, the Cosmere Q&A is a better place for questions like this.
  20. Argent
    Seems reasonable. +1

    Looks pretty good, though I'd love a closer shot

    Hi, welcome to the our little corner of the Internet Now that you've got a few posts under your belt (I had typed "belly" here, good thing I review my post-midnight replies...) you should be able to post your preferred link to Gemheart (the Sanderson Fan Works forum is really the place for that, plus it gets more visibility than intro threads); if not, you should be able to soon. But I gave it a listen, it's pretty nice, upbeat, catchy, subtle with its references - beautiful refrain too. If chat rooms are more your thing, feel free to hop in our Discord server and say hi Either way, hope you have a good time here
  23. Argent
    I've seen your Dalinars here and there (Reddit definitely, maybe IG too). I've been meaning to ask you if I can put them up on the Coppermind wiki so be on the lookout for a PM... somewhere Very much looking forward to seeing more from you
  24. Argent
    I would be shocked if Nightblood wasn't created on Nalthis.
  25. Argent
    I'll most likely be there (i.e. unless some emergency stops me), arriving on Thursday too.
