Hey there, did you finish WaT yet? I have some thoughts on this but only if you've finished

It's not right next door but Buds sandwiches is my go to in Salt Lake City! Super good sandwiches for like $8. It's an 8 minute bike ride away (and supposedly there's a bike share system called Green Bike), a 15 minute bus ride, or a 25 minute walk. Other restaurants I'm excited to return to are a bit out of the city and I don't remember what else is super close by

No cosplay for me but I'll be there! I'm hoping to go to the Magic draft again this year but I was also thinking of leaving Saturday evening

Looks like the schedule was just shared over email today! This is the link https://tabletop.events/conventions/dragonsteel-2024/schedule#?query=&filter_liked=0&day_id=&eventtype_id=&startdaypart_id=

2022 was my first (and only so far) time at Dragonsteel and I remember getting tickets as soon as they dropped. I don't know the exact timing but Sanderson and the cosmere have only gotten more popular so I would expect them to sell out for sure. How soon, I'm not sure, but I would be on the site at the time they release if you can be I did the charity magic draft that year (and got to draft with Isaac Stewart!) and those tickets sold out very fast

Hey there, I think people in the Discord server were planning a meetup that you could join. I personally won't be able to make it but check or ask in the events-and-streams channel of the discord https://discord.gg/17thshard

I don't know if anybody else tried to get a ticket to the Magic draft event, but wow am I lucky I got one! The site started crashing almost as soon as the tickets went up.

Good point! When combined with what Quantus said, I definitely get now why Rysn wasn't able to be healed. Thanks folks!

Sorry if I'm missing something, but why would Rysn be healed in the first place? I thought she wasn't a Radiant at all and so wouldn't have access to Stormlight healing.

Yeah you're right. I checked the coppermind too. It's a little confusing to me how similar Oathgates are to Perpendicularities but I think the gist is that the Oathgate spren can choose to let you pass or not whereas a Perpendicularity is basically just a portal. Anyway, I can see why the Ghostbloods would want to control at least one Oathgate if they can't control a Perpendicularity. Too bad for them the Knights Radiant want them all working now!

I definitely did not take into account the Oathgates! Do we know how they get in and out of Shadesmar at the end of RoW? And maybe I'm being dumb, but what's the difference between an Oathgate and a Perpendicularity? I remember Shallan and Adolin get to Shadesmar via Urithiru's Oathgate in RoW but can they all do that?

I can definitely see that! Not to sound rude or anything, but this is all a theory at the moment, right? Is there some textual evidence that she was a part of the Ghostbloods at one point? I can certainly see it happening, I just don't know if it for sure did or not.

I considered that but forgot to mention it! Hindsight is 20/20 there I guess. I totally forgot that she might have killed Ghostbloods. If Mraize is being truthful I guess that makes some sense as to why they might want to assassinate her. I hope we do learn some more details eventually!

I was thinking about this and realized I don't have a satisfying answer. I understand that the primary goal of the Ghostbloods is to move Stormlight off of Roshar. Did they want to kill Jasnah because she might potentially figure out how to do that? How would killing her help them get investiture off of Roshar? Is it just that they don't want competition for stormlight, competition for a seemingly limitless resource (stormlight)? And further if they don't want competition for stormlight access, doesn't that kind of make them enemies of the entire Knights Radiant? I must be missing something because I don't really get why they would want to kill people in the first place. It also seems strange to deliberately makes yourselves enemies of the Knights Radiant if you don't have to.

Hey there! I'd have to go with surgebinding and not even for the main surges. I love how powerful the healing is and how it's connected to spiritwebs / Identity so that Lopen can heal his amputated arm right away but Kaladin can't heal his brand until he's mentally healed from it first.
