    Any link? Edit: Thank you. Also, I'm not suggesting geostationery orbit; tis wouldn't actually make sense. Though if they come closer than geostationary… wow, this must be a really spiky ellipse. If they are "much closer" in general and really are on the sky one time per day, and go from east to west then I must be missing something, because I don't see how it would make sense. But I suppose they do get much further and the long axis is what I thought the radius will be. BTW does anyone know how hich eccentricity (of moon's orbit, not planet's) affect Lagrangian points? I couldn't find in on Google.
  2. Eri
    I agree with the Lagrangian points and Nomon being the second body. About the orbit size: it can be calculated from Roshar's mass and moons' orbiting time. Yes, I believe the moons always rise and set at the same hour. Also they rise at east and set at west, like the sun. Which means they are synchronised with the sun's position on the sky. This sets their orbiting time to the same as Roshar's orbiting of the sun. (Indeed, and not to one day! I'll post some gifs to explain, but I'm kinda busy.) Which is rather long, but actually unknown (as I've mentioned in another thread, I don't see why time between Weepings would have to be the time it takes the planet to orbit the sun). This implies a big orbit radius. If the moons are on sky at daytime, just invisible, they could have much shorter period and therefore orbit radius. PS: Can anyone give source link about the high eccentricity?

    Back to the moons, orbits and stuff: Why do we assume that Roshar year is based on it's orbiting time? The seasons are so irregular and seem to have no correlation with orbital movement. The year is defined by the Weepings, which are indeed likely related to / caused by some astronomical phenomenon but I don't see why it has to be position on orbit. I'd rather bet on something like proximity to another planet (Braize?) or some kind of eclipse / conjunction / things like that. Peter, could you please tell us if Roshar year = how long it takes to go rund the orbit? I mean, if Weeping always occurs when Roshar is on the same place on the orbit around its sun? PS: I'll probably post something more on astronomy and climate after I finish another reread. I wonder what direction noon sun shines from, it's really not obvious here. And many other things related to planet tilt…

    I think her weakness (for immortality; I don't know for illusions) is getting killed by someone who loves her, or something similar. I thought about it only because it would make one scene in Steelheart much more dramatic in reread.

    It may have some flying crustaceans. Edit: And skyeels.

    Do. Want.

    Three diamonds in an overlapping, circular pattern. Nothing more precise. Good thing to ask IMO.

    I'm not sure if Shallan's pet Julia set Cryptic is male. This question makes me think of CG Jung and his concept of anima/animus. Also, shouldn't it be marked as WoR spoilers?

    Cosmere 101

    Eri replied to Zas678's topic in Cosmere Discussion

    I disagree. I'm not sure which meaning did you mean, but: The Shard can be held and have some splinters at the same time, in WoR Honor is talking about spren doing stuff (bonding with KR) as something he've seen. Splinters can have holders too; the Returned work like that.
  10. Eri
    Also, another WoR quote, from prologue, supporting that theory about Szeth:

    Axies?

    Eri replied to Southpaw89's topic in Stormlight Archive

    I don't think their blood color is mentioed anywhere.
  13. Eri
    Not clues, it's stated pretty clearly.
  14. Eri
    I thought that Sel has one system, because both shards there are splintered?
  15. Eri
    Hmm... He wrote "Odium", not "Rayse". Are we sure that Rayse is actually this shard's first holder? If not, that may explein why Hoid does not like him so much...
  16. Eri
    I think it's just because it would be too disgusting, both in-world and to the readers. But I have considered that question too.
  17. Eri
    I don't think fabrials are Cultivation; I think they're just a more technical mirror of the existing magic systems, like the stuff we'll see in Mistborn Second Trilogy. Also, one of the rear page colour glyphs appears in corners of the Kharbranth illustration, I suppose it has something to do with Taravangian's um... activities. And those seem quite voidiish to me.

    Reading WoR preview chapters (some of them). Shallan got a pet fractal (Julia, I think)!!! Awesome! :D:D:D

    I'm quite sure those are letters, not noise. The question is, is it some old paper texture used by the artist or is it an easter egg. Determining the language would help much --- if it's Latin or other real world non-English language, it's obviously some texture. If it's English, it can be both. Or we can probably just ask the artist.
  20. Eri
    I wish I had this picture in better resolution, because there is something interesting, and I don't know if that's another easter egg or (more likely ) just a texture used. There is something that looks very much like a second text, slightly visible, like from a back of the page: Any ideas how to read it? Or maybe someone knowledgable (Peter A.?) will pop up and say it's just a texture and I'm overreacting. ;-)
  21. Eri
    Wow, thank you! Any font makers on the forum? It would be great to have a font from those svgs.
  22. Eri
    When Dalinar sees Tanavast in his vision, there is no mention that Tanavast looked Shin, so I assume he has non-Shin (slanted) eyes. Is this right? What about Rayse and whoever holds/held Cultivation --- what eyes do they have? If an Awakener went to Roshar and bled color from a gem, would this gem still hold Stormlight? Would that colorbled gem work for Soulcasting in the same way as before? Would an infused gem be resistant to bleeding color from it? What happens if you Soulcast an Awakened object into something strange or non-Awakenable? (if it's possible, but Soulcasting living people is, so…)
  23. Eri
    He did.
  24. Eri
    Cool! I'd love to see a fanart with proper (Asian-like) eyes for non-Shin and body proportions reflecting that lower gravity. Yeah, I'm picky.

    Glyphs

    Eri replied to harry31j97's topic in Stormlight Archive

    Yes we can, you need those pics from wiki named Alethi-[letter]. Or just http://www.17thshard.com/forum/gallery/image/347-alethi-bookmark-02-02/ As far as I know itt's pronouced like English; many illustrations in WoK have English text written in those letters. Oh, and those are not glyphs; glyphs as Mysty already said are another thing. Those are letteers.
