Yeah but we already have the Fused name for Alethkar, Avendla.
-
There is also Speak the Words which is a level 3 adventure with 3 of the pregen characters having 1 or 2 levels in a radiant path.

Oh yeah then that makes sense. I was coming more from the perspective of encyclopedic writing for the coppermind. Like on Taln's page does it make more sense to mention the PCs meeting with him before or after Shallan and Amaram? Does the Nale interaction happen before or after he takes Szeth from the Purelake to Thaylen field? Etc.

I don't think it happens on the same day. I think Amaram visits Taln and the cave and then afterwards has someone keeping an eye on Taln to report if anyone else is sniffing around which leads to the altercation with the PCs. I did also note the lack of mentioning the duel in the RPG but I think it could still happen after the PCs arrive at the warcamps but only in the first few days while they are still getting their bearings. Additionally it could also happen while they are in the chasms for the Chasm Offensive scene which could be a multi day excursion. I don't get why you are having the PCs show up separately from Taln though? They are part of the same caravan. It feels too much trying to force a square peg into a round hole.

All the way back from Emperor's Soul: "[Shai's] ancestors had worshipped rocks that fell from the sky at night. The souls of broken gods, those chunks had been called." Feels like it could be related despite being a completely different planetary system. Maybe there are multiple broken moons across the cosmere.
-
Tangential to this. I feel the Terris prophecies might not actually be Scadrial specific but more a cosmere constant. A lot of the quoted lines could apply to Vasher: There are more that fit as well but also some that don't but that applies to Sazed as well e.g marrying the daughter of a king. Likewise I think Dalinar and maybe even Raoden could be Heroes of Ages as well.

I actually talked to Jofwu about this a bit. The big issue is when WoR I-7 takes place. It is placed in novel between ch 34 and 35 but this would mean the PCs are at the least 11 days at the shortest and 25 at the most. Luckily Interludes aren't necessarily placed chronologically in the books so there is some wiggle room. Apparently in ch 63 or 64 Shallan say that Bordin arrived a few weeks ago. If we take that to mean exactly two weeks then SLSW ch 2 has to start before WoR 55. I really want to know when the PCs investigate Taln compared to Shallan/Amaram. You have the PCs doing it before but I think the interaction with Amaram makes more sense if they do it after. You mentioned you might need to revise your timeline. I think the biggest thing is you've only allowed 3 days in the warcamps and unfortunately I think it needs at least 10. I think the highstorm in SLSW ch 1 is the 7th on 10.2.5 which would then allow for the PCs to show up at the warcamps on like 10.4.2 just after the 8th highstorm. They could then spend about 2.5 weeks running errands and doing odd jobs while investigating Liss culminating in the altercation with Amaram and leaving the warcamps.

Adding to this is that Initiation for being a Navigator is most likely having been deemed ready by a mentor. Similarly Sand Mastery Initiation needs to be presided over by another person. Both are kind of communal events. Autonomy has a few idiosyncrasies like that. Others are how hierarchical her followers are and the sort of leeway she gives them. I think she runs the gamut do to the whole many Avatars thing.

Actually thinking about it, while there might be a method after the fact, I think the easiest way to get unkeyed worm paste (truly what a phrase) would be for the investiture the worms are metabolizing to already be unkeyed.

Apparently the term "Epelli" has been used in some of his trunked Yolen novels. So either Yolish or Shardic related. If not for the WoB stating Aona and Skai died before Ambition I would say they are the most likely candidates. But I could see it being a previous contest of champions or more metaphorically as two societies or cultures fighting. I want to point out that we know of two formerly abandoned cities: the Diem on Taldain and Elantris on Sel. The Eelakin could be from either of these before the now current residents found them empty and moved in. Another option for both though is the Iriali. Additionally we have a WoB about Autonomous influence on Sel. One thing to note here is that per Dusk's vision the loremothers got the order of events a bit mixed up. The Eelakin made it to Patji and had started settling before running into the Dakwara which they found while exploring the surrounding cognitive realm after arriving. This could have some implications to the whole myth. One thing I think is possible is that the migration might have taken multiple generations with the myth Cakoban being a composite character of the historical Cakoban who was the last leader of the group and previous leaders whose names have been lost.

I could see Heralds still being stuck due to the oathpact.

Trying to place each RPG chapter with what chapters are happening concurrently in WoR or OB. So far this is what I have come up with: Chapter 1 has a highstorm occur several days before Chapter 2 Chapter 2 starts around WoR I-7 (WoR 34/35 if where placed in book otherwise it might be starting a bit before WoR 63/64 as I can't imagine the PCs visiting the asylum much before Araman does if not after) spans multiple days to weeks including or after WoR 55 since Amaram is described as leading the Knights Radiant earliest PCs can leave the warcamps is just after WoR 58 and latest is before WoR 67 Chapter 3 set 20 days after end of Chapter 2 spans a day or two Chapter 4 happens around OB 4 because first full cycle of the Everstorm takes 15 days to reach Karanak (either a second Everstorm happens again or the first is a few days into the 15) from Karanak to Nigthwatcher's Valley takes multiple weeks (oddly unspecific since we are generally given other travel times down to the day) Chapter 5 seems to be pre OB 96 as the Eighty's War is ongoing but and Sasemalex Dar is not yet occupied but Nale is helping the Tukari and Singers which points to post OB 121 (really depends on the unspecific travel times from Karanak to Nigthwatcher's Valley and Nightwatcher's Valley to Ashiqqil Keep) (actually probably happens just before Nale goes up to the Purelake in OB 98 after consulting with Ishar) from Ashiqqil Keep to Sesemalex Dar takes 16 days a day or two spent in Sesemalex Dar from Sasemalex Dar to Rall Elorim takes 65 days Chapter 6 and 7 set possibly between OB and RoW as at least 11 Everstorms have passed in Rall Elorim for a few days

7 orbits between pulses from the Eye of Ridos, 7 denominations of the currency, 7 sandmaster ranks, implied 7 colors of starmarks; the only 8 is guild professions Colors are weird. Odium also has the ultraviolet stuff going on. But Cakoban glowed gold while invested and red seems to be described as suborned Investiture rather than the native color so I take the gold from the phrase "men of gold and red" to be what it connected to Trell. Yeah I think it aligns well with the many avatars thing she's got going on. Unfortunately there is this WoB: But everything else seems to line up so perfectly I'm wondering if Brandon has changed his mind.

Nightblood vs Type 1-6 Threnodite Entity
lacrossedeamon replied to Bares's topic in Cosmere Discussion
I think they might be too invested for Nightblood to completely destroy.
