1. The Set were active even before Taravngian`s ascention (unless era 2 is more in the future than we thought). So if this theory is correct either they were founded with Rayse`s intervention or Odium came after the founding. 2. Red can be any corrupted investiture in the cosmere so a lot of invested creatures will probably have those eyes. 3. Odium is not the best shard for seeing the future. He is better than Honor but Cultivation is better. With Preservation`s plan in era 1 maybe Preservation (and Harmony) is also better than Odium. In conclusion I think that it is a valid theory but Trell=Autonomy is more likely (and maybe Odium is also involved).

They probably just transition to the cognitive realm and can return. SA

I don`t count that as "freeing" them. They were not free after Kelsier, they were basically escaped slaves and (assumed) merderers. If Kelsier did care ffor them he could have led them to the safety of the Skaa rebellion hidweouts or something like that, but Kelsier did not care if they lived or not so he left them to flee from the e,pire`s forces by themself. I use this as an example to show that he is someone who does not care about how his actions affect others, and is willing to do stuff that will harm innocent people. I does not give Kelsier credit for the fact that they did survived because he had no way of knowing that it would happen. Honestly, I did not like the part in the book when we found out that they did survive - it felt fvery unbelievable and like Brandon was not willing to write a bad ending for some caraters even when the plot demanded it.

They did survive, but it was because they were lucky and managed to escape the empire`s forces who came looking for them. In the book they survive but that was the unlikely outcome. The Skaa did not think the nobles gave them any protection or services, they just knew that if they tried to escape the nobles would come and kill them (They were afraid of the mists but this is not the reason the did not escape).
-
The best example that shows that Kelsier is a "bad guy" who doesn`t care about the Skaa is at the begining of the first book (maybe it is even the prologue?) where he send a whole Skaa plantation to almost certain death just to kill a few noblemen.

I understood it as Cultivation saying that even without the diagram , Tarvangian would have started an organization to try and save the people. The path started when he heard from Gavilar about the threat. The diagram gave him the power to do this more effectively and in the end control the poweer of Odium instead of the power controlling him. I don`t think that Taravangian new he would become Odium. He new that Odium was afraid of nightblood so he decided to attack him with it - he didn`t think about what will happen after that. The bridge it is talking about is the everstrom - bridge between the realm that brought the VoidSpren to the physical realm and awakened the unmade. This bridge was good for Odium and was a major part off his plan.

I think it it likelly that the Skybreakers sent Helaran with a shardblade to kill a radiant within Amaram`s army and he imself decided (incorrectly) that it is Amaram. We saw in Edgedancer that Nale does not neccceserally give the accolytes full details when they go on a mission as the accolytes there decided that Arclo was the radiant.

I don`t think that in a regular splintering the power goes to the cognitve realm. Arcanum unbounded

We don`t really know much about how the dawnshards work. We know that the torment is caused becaused Sigzil (and Hoid) held a dawnshard (we don`t know if only this dawnshard will cause such effect) and now they can`t hurt people or eat meat. What we saw in SP4 is the the most detailed interaction we saw of the torment.

Does the way of kings have an undertext? It was written in a time when men also wrote. On the other hand maybe there is an undertext written during the translation, which probably happened later (the way of kings was originally in dawnchant, right?).

How to tap and burn metals you aren't even touching

I don`t think Dalinar increased their connection. He said he wouldn`t. I understood it as Dalinar explaining to Syl something about how Kaladin feels and that helped her remember that she had similar feelings in the past and with her increased reawakining with the stronger bond to Kaladin she felt this way again. -
You can. They were different nations with different rulers and different armies who constantly fought eachother. In the past they were part of the same nation but they were`nt more unifid than the separate nations after the end of the roman empire.
-
Everyone can use breaths if he gets them. The Scadrian magics requires not just connection but something more, since for example not all Terris are feruchemists so I think that bondsmithing won`t be enough. Elantris

I found a WoB that says it happened affter warbreaker. That means the evil happened thousands of years after the last desolation.
-
Do we know when the evil happened? I always thought that it attacked just a short time (few centuries at most) before SA, which means that it happened a lot after the desolations.

Are you sure? I don`t remember any mention of gemhearts being perfect gemstones, escpeially not when the alethi hunted the chasmfiends on the sattered planes I don`t think some of the gemhearts were perfect.

The Honorspren asked Adolin about the time Dalinar almost killed the stormfather. Adolin just answered that he don`t know about that.

They don`t guard the "wealth of the nation". Each one (or each family) has its own wealth. It is kind of a feudal system where the king gets taxes and military support from the highprinces who get taxes from lower ranking nobles who themself get taxes and soldiers from nower ranking nobles. It is not oligarchy because your social ranking is generally determined by birth and not by wealth (there are special cases when rich people can have more power than they suppose to but this is extreme cases).

Yes, Harmonium does have a chemical properties like an alkaline (alkali? I am not sure how it said in english) metal. I don`t understand what your theory is.

I found Vin`s storyline in TFE very unbelievable - She started very suspicious of Kelsier and the crew and in what felt like few days she started trusting them completely. The Vin at the end didn`t feel like the same person with the same history in the begining of the book. The only explanation I can find is that maybe I missed somewhere where the book said that a lot of time passed between this. Another thing I didn`t like was that that the crew didn`t reacted to Kelsier crimes - especially in the first chapter when he sent the Skaa plantation to hiding and probably die. The rest of the crew were outlaws by final empire standarts but they were basicaly good people who should not have been following someone as evil as Kelsier.

I want to see Wayne interact with cryptics, preferably multiple cryptics at the same time, preferably with the cryptic speaking the cryptic humming language. Acctually we saw Wayne talking with Hoid who maybe has Design with him at this time. The Lost Metal prologue

Shai was able to soulcast herself to a master in a martial art so you can soulcast yourself into knowing something new. I think that knowing contents of a book should work the same way.

Probably yes.
