Szeth-son-son-Vallano, Truthless of Shinover, wore Szeth-son-son-Vallano, Truthless of Shinover, on the day he was to kill a king.

The top candidates, in my opinion, are Medelantorius (Valor) - unlikely, given that she chose to avoid him during WaT. Jasnah - unlikely, for similar reasons Shai - hates Hoid a lot, but it could happen Design - weird, but possible I guess, especially with sylladin being semi-confirmed Someone we don't know - very likely in universe, but boring, so I don't know if he'll actually go this route Emily Sanderson self-insert character - since Hoid is arguably a Brandon Sanderson self-insert

I use my portal hammer to pull on a conveniently placed chandelier, causing it to fall on you for trying to steal my funeral. Then I jump through the portal and out of an equally convenient window.

Meteor hammer but it can make portals when thrown. I throw it, and it teleports behind Ashkolada, causing him to slam into ChipsAHoid

It's evidently false, given that you are Honor's ghost, and therefore Honor must be undead. Still a good quote/10

Someone else mentioned fire emblem 3 houses so I'll share my perspective, having only completed a verdant wind playthrough. Byleth - Bondsmith Claude - I could see Bondsmith, Willshaper, Truthwatcher, or even some Edgedancer Lorenz - Skybreaker Raphael - Stoneward Ignatz - Lightweaver Lysithea - Elsecaller Marianne - Lightweaver? Hilda - Willshaper? Leonie - Edgedancer/Stoneward Seteth - Windrunner Flayn - Edgedancer, Elsecaller, or Bondsmith, I don't really know where to put her Manuela - no Hanneman - Truthwatcher Cyril - Skybreaker Catherine - Skybreaker Shamir - Stoneward?

I think Cakoban might be doing something similar to a nightmare painter when he turns the Evil into the Dakwara.

Szeth-son-son Vallano, Truthless of Shinovar, wore clothes on the day he was to kill a king.

I read Alcatraz and the Rithmatist when I was really young (single digit age), then my dad decided to get me the Stormlight Archive as a birthday present when I was around 9 or 10. I still don't know why he gave me them at that age, but I loved it and ended up reading the entire Cosmere. The Coppermind and Brandon Sanderson's website led me here, I lurked for a while, then finally created an account in 2023. I couldn't use my normal username of Bookwyrm because it was already taken. The Lost Metal had come out very recently and I thought Aethers were cool.

Yeah, I don't think the factions are actually going to be humans vs singers, but I think a lot of this can happen with pro/anti retribution as the factions instead. It could get even more nuanced than that for all we know. This isn't supposed to be a complete prediction of everything It is symmetrical, I'm just reversing the roles instead of the order because that makes more sense to me.

Calling them Disney projects threw me off so hard Fire Emblem Awakening (Warning: long and very confusing)

Feruchemy What planet are you from and why are you here?

Why have you done this to me, I already lost the game twice this week.

Huh, that's really weird considering what happened there. That's probably going to be relevant at some point in the back half as well.

Yeah, but I'm pretty sure the silence divine happens before stormlight archive

I more meant from a geopolitical standpoint, also, since when are there humans over Ashyn?

You could argue for either

stick.

Ruin being splintered

I saw somewhere on here a theory that the plot of the stormlight archive were going to be a ketek, it was a while ago, so I don't remember where, but this version is different enough that it warrants its own post. My idea is that book 6 will parallel the plot of tWoK, but with a twist: Since we've already seen tWoK from the human perspective, I think book 6 will have humans and singers reversed. At the end of WaT, the humans are in a very similar position to the singers at the start of tWoK, only really controlling Azir and Urithiru. It's not that much of a stretch to imagine one of the nations under retribution deciding to lay siege to Azir, turning it into something like the Shattered Plains were in tWoK. Meanwhile, Urithiru has the Radiants, some of the humans' most powerful fighters, almost equivalent to the Fused. However, due to the events of WaT, they're trapped, just like the Fused on Braize. These are my my main predictions for books 7-10 based on this framework Book 2: The humans start learning how to use surgebinding, the singers are working with a god so they can stand a fighting chance. This culminates in the everstorm, fully kicking off the true desolation and allowing the fused to return. The everstorm also allows for a sudden violent revolution by the singers. The humans, meanwhile, claim a location of supreme tactical importance (urithiru) and start taking the threat seriously. Book 7: The singers start learning how to use voidbinding, the humans are working with multiple gods (whatever shards don't like retribution) so they can stand a fighting chance. This culminates in the highstorm coming back, fully kicking off the war to reclaim roshar and allowing the radiants (probably also heralds if they haven't shown up already) to return. The highstorm also allows for a sudden violent revolution by the humans. The singers, meanwhile, claim a location of supreme tactical importance and start taking the threat seriously. Book 3: I'm a bit fuzzy on what happens here, but I know that the coalition of monarchs happens here, led by dalinar. Several nations join up with/are conquered by the singers, an unmade is imprisoned. Surgebinders become a real, serious thing. Battle of thaylen field and stuff. Book 8: I'm a bit fuzzy on what happens here, but I think that the retribution equivalent coalition of monarchs happens here, led by El and/or the blackthorn, also Odium. Several nations join up with/are conquered by the humans, a herald(probably taln or ash) is imprisoned. Voidbinders become a real, serious thing. Battle of thaylen field and stuff but mirrored. Book 4: A year has passed, borders are more or less locked. To make something change, science happens, and new weapons are invented. The singers hold a strategically pivotal point, but lose it to kaladin, navani, and the sibling. Because of all that's happened, a final battle is set up for the last book. At some point between the start of the last book and the end of this one, the world stops being mostly humans and starts being mostly singers. The humans gain a large number of reinforcements (spren). Odium changes vessels. Book 9: A year has passed, borders are more or less locked. To make something change, science happens, and new (dawnshard based?) weapons are invented. The humans hold a strategically pivotal point, but lose it to el, the blackthorn, and chemoarish (ok, that one's just guesswork). Because of all that's happened, a final battle is set up for the last book. At some point between the start of the last book and the end of this one, the world stops being mostly singers and starts being mostly humans (probably not as much as the singers took over in the first ones). The singers gain a large number of reinforcements (present from trell, perhaps). Retribution changes vessels. Book 5: There are three locations the singers want, they get one without raising a blade, lose another to betrayal/trickery, and gain the last one for a short time before it's immediately reclaimed. Everything comes down to a single battle involving swords, then ideals, and finally gods. An unmade is set free by the humans. The humans are basically defeated, but with enough plot hooks to allow for the second arc. Book 10: There are three locations the humans want, they get one without raising a blade, lose another to betrayal/trickery, and gain the last one for a short time before it's immediately reclaimed. Everything comes down to a single battle involving swords, then ideals, and finally gods. A herald is set free by the singers. The singers/retribution are basically defeated, but with enough plot hooks to allow for mistborn space age. I doubt I've gotten everything right, but I wouldn't be surprised if Brandon does some part of this.
