I highly doubt this would happen, due to what they established about how the madness can be temporarily healed (Radiants swearing Oaths in their proximity), and due to the implications that it probably is connected to BAM, who is going to be a central point of SA5, most likely. I doubt they would make it come down to a Divine Breath.

Not exactly right. It was 100% still violent. It still required you to pin somebody down and forcibly pierce the needle through their flesh. Non-lethal, though, yes. But it is very unpleasant and has a lot of side-effects we have not seen yet. And yeah, healing somebody after a wound from hemalurgy isn't the same as doing it to one mortally wounded by say, a sword. A sword can only rend the flesh, hemalurgy tears out parts of the Spiritweb itself. That goes far beyond normal healing.

I just felt like attempting to make a massive timeline of all major events in the cosmere. This is not finished, like my Cosmere numerology thread, this will be expanded over time. Some assumptions

That is a good point, actually. I still hold by it being very unlikely to find a Nicroburst criminal working with a Misting with an offensively viable power. But that would also be an explanation, as he would truly be unable to fight one using duralumin on their own powers, as it literally doesn't anymore exist unless you use Hemalurgy (technically, it does exist, but it can't be used to any actual effect, making allomantic duralumin essentially worthless) .

Why, thank you, lovely to hear you enjoyed.

Hey, I am Firesong, I have been doing a lot of Worldbuilding in the Combined Shards Thread, and felt it would be fun to have a greater variety of these smaller worldbuilding experiments that I can share. Which I felt I could include here. I like doing experiments with worldbuilding where I work on making a world in just a few hours, or to when I start getting burnt out and bored with the project, and see what I come up with. I can expand on some I make if y'all really enjoy them, and I feel like expanding on that world. I think it would be interesting to mark this one without any title, as a type of surprise box for the first one. (2~3 hours of development)

Oh, I wasn't paying attention to that, my bad. Mind blanked on that.

My first suggestion was like 1. But afterwards shifted it to be like that, but without the lines crossing the full horizontal extent, and to not separate individual entries in one element like that, I am fine with them as they are. That or 4 with the same modification. And also add in the padding colour used on Coppermind. 1, 2 3, 4 is how I am referring to them.

I am not exactly sure how it would effect readability in the slightest, I don't see how it would increase or decrease it by even an infinitesimal degree. Can you explain why you think it would decrease readability to sightly darken the idea around the coloured padding? I am not trying to be judgmental, I am just genuinely extremely confused. My suggestion is actively due to the fact it would not effect readability at all. It would be purely aesthetic. I don't get how seeing the background magically improves readability over the gap (which is relatively far from the text) being a little darker and thinner. And yes, I do mean faint and thin. It would be thinner than the current borders. In how I envision it. PS: No need to be sorry, I apologize if I am coming across aggressively, I'm not angry at all right now. Just anxious.

Not at all, I mean having the blue parts, but having an actually separator between them that isn't just the background of the infobox, as I said, something like a grey line. I don't want it looking more like wikipedia infoboxes, as that is one of the worst parts of wikipedia's visual design. The different colour from the rest of the wiki part works, but everything else about their infoboxes is quite bad. It can be hard to communicate things like this without images, but easy communication of this isn't worth doxxing myself. The tradeoff isn't worth it.

The background part is completely irrelevant to the link. The link was about adding size and gravity to the infobox, which I mentioned right before the link, and talked about in the text under the link. I have no clue how to do more fundamental changes to it such as the annoying background between elements. What I mean is that I think there should be a grey line or something between the blue part of the elements. It would look nicer and more sleek as it would make them look less like boxes randomly slapped onto a background. Because you can see the background between them and it looks dreadful. I have actually been wanting to bring this up for a while. And I don't feel comfortable sending edited images as I am extremely paranoid about being tracked (yes, I do have a disorder, but lets not get into that), and don't want to risk any trackable metadata entering a image when I edit it.

I actually do have one update on your objection. Can we at least do it in the title portion of the elements (the coloured part), as it just looks really bad for them to be blue like that, but be separated by a "line" that is just the background. Makes them look more like things slapped on then an actual part of the box due to that. Same with the background visible at the left side of the boxes. I have a big problem with it. I am fine if it isn't done for the horizontal extent, I see your point there, but I will continue to stand firm on finding a way to get rid of the gaps as a manner of separating element titles. And a suggestion to add to infoboxes, I feel it would be good to add elements for the planet size and gravity. As that is something communicated in the text itself, and it feels logical to include it. https://coppermind.net/wiki/User:Firesong/PlanetTempUpdateIdea Template update concept on a user page. We could use the values for that, as well, as we can find the exact values as we know what the Cosmere standard is.

So it starts with the Order the book is focused around. So next book will be Skybreaker, Dustbringer, Edgedancer. Way of Kings: Windrunner, Skybreaker, Dustbringer Words of Radiance: Lightweaver, Elsecaller, Willshaper Oathbringer: Bondsmith, Windrunner, Skybreaker Rhythm of War: Willshaper, Stoneward, Bondsmith Knights of Wind and Truth: Skybreaker, Dustbringer, Edgedancer Stormlight 6: Edgedancer, Truthwatcher, Lightweaver Stormlight 7: Truthwatcher, Lightweaver, Elsecaller Stormlight 8: Dustbringer, Edgedancer, Truthwatcher Stormlight 9: Stoneward, Bondsmith, Windrunner Stormlight 10: Elsecaller, Willshaper, Stoneward

I personally disagree with turning everything into just a couple massive articles. While some fit with massive articles, such as pages for nations, I feel making everything into massive pages would just make information so much harder to actually find. And our wiki is not nearly as bad as some with splitting information into pages for every tiny thing, and we do a lot of combining together topics into singular pages. I feel doing it more than we currently do would just quickly devolve into absolute incoherence. And repeating similar information is inherently going to occur with a wiki of any sort, even wikipedia, the prototypical version, repeats a lot of information. I feel trying your hardest to never repeat info and combine any pages that have overlapping information would just lead to WH40K Wiki scale pages (if anyone doesn't know, they basically make pages that are like, 400k bytes and go onto so many tangents as they try combining too many things into it, and it ultimately leaves information harder to find in said pages.)

Understandable, I get that they can take a while. That is why I suggested some of the simpler ones, which would mostly deal with changing templates. Instead of things that changed fundamental structure of the wiki. And yeah, there is a lot that we have to deal with this year due to the five entire novels (SPs and Defiant). So I understand if that pushes it off. But hope that these smaller changes can be implemented in a reasonable timeframe (as in just, not take years, mostly). As I feel that a few smaller-scale (relatively) changes would make quite an improvement overall. Thanks for your response!

Something I came to notice about the Coppermind is the fact that it is rather minimalist in design, and I feel there are a few small changes that can make it appear much sleeker and better looking, that I wish to suggest to staff, these are changes that I feel could be easily done by simply changing a few values in templates, rather than being more fundamental to the wiki: I always had some issues with the appearance of quotes, which only look separate from the rest of the text in the formatting, but ultimately look too much like everything else. I feel a way to improve it could be to like, make the quote box have a grey background with like, black borders. To make the box far more distinguished from the rest of the page. I feel that would not only make it distinguished, but ultimately improve the visuals of our pages. As it just looks somewhat bad with how minimalist it currently is. I feel it would be helpful to change the colour of infoboxes slightly. If you look at things such as Wikipedia or the One Piece Wiki or other things, you would be able to notice that the infobox colouration is noticeably different from the rest of the page in a way that makes it stick out. Look at this page for instance, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth, I feel it would greatly improve the visuals of the wiki if we did the same thing with our infoboxes. Like, to the colour of the padding around images, or the contents section. I feel it would be an improvement if, instead of there just being a blank space between elements/rows of an infobox, which looks somewhat sloppy and mild anxiety-inducing as it is it is just a very visible disruption to the background colour of the element-title portion of the row,. We can instead make it so that there is a grey line which stretches over the horizontal extent of the box, which both solves the issue, and makes a rather good looking (in my opinion) line of demarcation between the rows in general. I am thinking of it looking a bit like the lines between expressions on the Desmos Graphing Calculator. I hope you consider these changes, as I feel they would be very helpful in improving the visual design of the wiki.

I don't think it is best to come in and have your very first post be advertisement for your own website. Feels a bit more odd to do so when it is a website that attempts to fill the same niche and intention as a site that this forum is associated with. Feels odd to me. especially due to the fact that Fandom wiki is a massive scam mostly dedicated to shoving constant ads in people's face to the point of being an absolutely hellish experience rather than being a repository of information. It isn't even fully about you asking us to come over, but it being the very first thing you posted about definitely doesn't give good vibes.

They are Herald/Order Symbols, yeah, they are engraved into the hard cover books, under the dustjacket, having the one which is relevant to the Order of the book. We also have a full list on them here: https://coppermind.net/wiki/Glyphs/Index On the meaning of them appearing like that, I am not sure. Something notable, those 3 orders are adjacent. 8, 9, and 10. Thus all also share Surges, Willshapers and Stonewards share Cohesion, Stonewards and Bondsmiths share Tension.

Oh, this is lovely. I very much like this. Can you try writing down singer words we know? There is a list of them on the Listener Page. You can also try writing down the Fused Brands.

"Storm" isn't the most accurate terminology, it moreso manifests in one place, carves it out, and then vanishes. And yes, it is carving away the planet over time. And also, might have to adjust the size and distance of the moon, I want it to be relatively fast but not that fast (I did the math to find it was 39000, just didn't go another level to see orbital length to find how long it takes to orbit). But I also don't feel like redoing a lot of the math to find a size and shape that works well while being the same angular size as the sun. But I also guess it wouldn't be too much of an issue, but still faster than I would like it.

Ruin: (Unfinished, I got a bit busy, and am not exactly in the mood right now. I will add to this later, but still feel like sharing what I have so far.) @alder24 @Underwater_Worldhopper

The former, most likely, he hasn't implied anything about any timeline change. I feel they were just wandering.

I didn't say clear or crystal as neither are really colours (clear usually means transparent and crystal can have a ton of different colours), so I felt silver was a more accurate way to describe what I meant.

I don't think that Edgedancers would be a green Spren, as so far, we have seen that the colour does match it the plate colour. Like the official art of Lightweaver plate has a lot of silver and red, like the silver of the Creationspren. Windrunners attract blue spren and have blue plate. etc. Edgedancers are silver and blue, so I expect a more silver coloured spren. I think Lift attracting so many Lifespren is due to her being Lift, with all the weird stuff with her and Cultivation. I think Truthwatchers are Lifespren, maybe, as they are green and gold, and are also closely associated with life and Cultivation.

The Platespren I feel would have some connection with Purple and Metal and Light. Probably not with water. I have a theory they might be about Captivityspren, as those are the exact opposite of them in such a way it paradoxically fits.
