When reading the book to my daughter, I got in the mood and made this snippet. It's a working clock which is also a ever-changing Rithmatic diagram. I wish I knew how to do Android apps, it would make a cool clock app. Any suggestions welcome.

[OB] Glyph Translation Discussion (No Plot Spoilers)
Eri replied to Harakeke's topic in Stormlight Archive
Wow, I didn't even notice there was a script on that image, great job! I've tried to trace/clear the writings (white is for lines that are probably waves and may make other lines hard to read, dark blue for something that seems a main line / initial, colors are for letters that look similar, blue for other letters). Also, I've added the original location names, just in case. I hope this helps a bit. Edit: I've tried to match the letters, but I'm too bad at this.

[OB] Glyph Translation Discussion (No Plot Spoilers)
Eri replied to Harakeke's topic in Stormlight Archive
I posted it in previous thread but then I noticed this one is more alive, so… Some content back from WoK. Have fun with this! (I can't figure out those glyphs, but they look readable. Their origin involves a polar coordinates filter and the voidbinding chart. They may have flipped left half and right half, can't be sure.) -
Spoilers-safe content: Let's go back to WoK for a while, more precisely – to its back cover. I straightened the Void "essence" glyphs from the voidbinding svg some good soul made (I just run it throught polar coordinates filter + vectorization to make them prettier). They turned out to look very much like normal glyphs. I wonder, can we somehow read those or match them to something (the Unmade, maybe?).

Sell. [Correction to one of my previous theories] Zahel dies before SA ends, and in a meaningful way.

Not exactly a tatoo, but close enough not to open a new thread: something I did today and I'm very happy with it. link link

What I did with my nails today. (Yes, in Poland we wear wedding ring on the right hand, the left is for regular rings.) A quick how-to is in description of the other hand photo.© Glyph designss are probably owned by by Brandon Sanderson, the tutorial you're welcome to use. :)

My nails. I was wondering if I should tag this photo as NSFW (because, you know, safehand), but that would probably be a bit too much trolling. (Yes, here in Poland we wear wedding ring on right hand, the left is for regular rings.) If you want to have similar nails: Download the glyphs in svg format from the wiki. Scan your hand (the side with nails) and use this image as a reference to resize the glyphs (I also modified them a bit to fit the nail shape better). Make them black if you don't have a color printer or just want them black. Make a reference image showing which glyph and what color goes on which nail so you won't do any mistakes. I chose to have female Herald glyphs on right hand and male on left, but there are many other options that make sense). For black glyphs on color background: Ensure that you have nail polishes in all relevant colors (some colors can be mixed. Also, I have an irrational hatred for red nail polish, so some colors are off). You can also try color glyphs on white bg if you have a color printer. Paint your nails and let them dry. Do not use too dark colors (as I did for Windrunners and Skybreakers), pastel ones will look better. Print the glyphs. I did it on a regular black laser printer and using some kind of ecological paper I happened to have. The easier the paper soaks the paper the better as long as it doesn't jam your printer. (Print on dry paper, you'll soak it later!). I suppose normal paper would work too. Find some how-to about "newspaper nails" and use it to transfer the glyphs to your nails. I've used rum instead of rubbing alcohol (don't have any of that), lots of soaking and kept the paper on nails for about a minute + pressed for 10 seconds. It worked quite well, but some details didn't transfer and some glyphs (Windrunners!!!) got tilted or shifted. Finished!© Glyph designss are probably owned by by Brandon Sanderson, the tutorial you're welcome to use. :)

Actually… how sure are we that Renarin really is a Truthwatcher? He says so, yeah, and he has some powers, sees the future… since when seeing the future is a KR ability? It seems to belong more to another kind of magic users… And we never see his spren. Or what's in the box.

Just for the Rule of Cool: who would you (most) like to see with our favourite sociopathic Awakened sword in their hands and why? Including the original owner. My personal choice is Lift, because a ) they have kinda similar style of dialogue/humor, b ) she's awesome and c ) it could lead to some Realmatic mess, because of her peculiar abilities. Also, she'll feed him. With food.
-
It's a Splinter, so I think the answer is "yes".
-
IIRC there's a WoB that an Honorblade cannot be bonded. Edit: Somewhere in this thread.
-
Nine secret societies? And nine Heralds not counting Telanel. Coincidence?
-
I think it may be some spren, maybe the BondsmithSpren (Stormfather + probably Nightwatcher + …). Or the Aimians. Or one of the secret societies. Those 3 options aren't exactly mutually exclusive.

I think Kaladin is too emorionally intense for Shallan, he can remind her of her father too much. Sure, he's not a drunk and he's not a bad person (too much), but he can get really angry and intense, I think he can be possesive too. Shalladin could be a very toxic relationship for both of them IMO. I like her scenes with Adolin, this works pretty well and can get many ups and downs without love triangle issues. KaladinxJasnah FTW. (however, if only Lift was older…)
-
IIRC WoB says that it would overrite his powers.
-
↑ yes.

Queston/Theory: Corruption of Text [Mistborn Spoilers]
Eri replied to Halabalabash's topic in Stormlight Archive
I was thinking along those lines too. My thoughts: What makes text Ruin-safe? Metal. Why? Because it's holy / a focus / whatever you name it. What is Roshar's equivalent of metal? Gems? IMO it's symmetry. Most of the scripts are symmetrycal: glyphs and women's script, which mr T uses… But that script on the map (people say it's Thaylen, I think it may be the sormwardens' script) is not. I'd love to see a picture of Amaram's notes (the ones Shallan copied from his room BTW in a very similar way to what Sazed did in the something of Seran). If they aren't symmetrical… ^^ As for reusing his ideas – if the magics work in similar ways it would make sense for different Shards to use the same tricks sometimes. I doubt Ruin was the only one to think “hey, I can mass up the writings!”. And if Odium is bound not to do that, we still have Cultivation left. -
Personality traits. Not how she feels, but what she does. She is very brave (jumping from the island-thing) and obedient (to her babsk). Seems the right kind of person for a Dustbringer, unless I'm mistaking the orders.
-
That's awesome. -
Probably a RAFO-bait, but is Rysn becoming a Dustbringer?
-
It's not Raoden, it's some guy from unpublished book, there is a WoB on that. And yes, the others are Demoux&Galladon.

Nalan and Ishar, the dynamic duo. (Spoilers galore!)
Eri replied to Fifth of Daybreak's topic in Stormlight Archive
He is a Herald, I think: "I'm worried about Ash. She's getting worse. We weren't supposed to get worse" -
(If you want me to stop spamming the gallery with bad calligraphy, please just say so. ) -
A glyph for our favorite (umm…) answer. I'm putting it here because uploading to "general" does not work and it's not a SA fanart, even if the alphabet is Rosharian. Big thanks to Harakeke, who translated the alphabet used here. (warning, link leads to WoR subforum) I had to do some guessing for this one.© whatever
