KChan

Excuse me for not knowing the name of Endowment's Shardholder.

I agree with this. It makes the most sense, especially given what we've seen of Shards and pulses so far. It just doesn't make sense to start randomly throwing other things in.

Me too. I honestly didn't even consider that he was referring to a Balance until I saw this thread.

Brandon has said that Sazed doesn't plan on releasing any atium anyways, but I can't remember where. If someone knows and could quote it here, that would be great.

Of course they did. Endowment was furious: there were flowers spilled everywhere. They still haven't managed to clean up the mess.

Well, more can get done: look at what happened at the Hero of Ages, and what Sazed was able to accomplish by using both Shards in concert. But certain actions would be more of one Shard than the other. However, there's also the possibility that Sazed wasn't talking about the Balance between Shards, but rather the more mundane balance of the world. Too much direct intervention could potentially disrupt the world too much, which Sazed would want to avoid, especially after seeing what the Lord Ruler's interventions did to Scadrial.

That doesn't necessarily mean Sazed will give it to him, though. Also, I remember hearing it said by Brandon that Tan's "gallery" may or may not have involved Hemalurgy. Interesting that he didn't give us a straight answer there....

I didn't notice it either, but I don't feel stupid. I just feel amused. XD

Stickied. Thanks for the reminder, Eero!

Closing this topic, then, to prevent any further confusion. Thanks for consolidating!

Does that mean that the epic culinary war between Aona's waffles and Skai's pancakes is what caused the Reod?

For those of us who are of a lighter build, being a Tineye and an iron Ferring would be extremely useful when firing more powerful weapons, since we'd be able to store weight and thus better compensate for recoil.

I do want to make a slight correction to the original posts - these aren't glyphs; those are in Way of Kings. These symbols are known as the Steel Alphabet. That said, it came up when talking with Brandon that Scadrial does, indeed, have a base 16 number system. So, Guenivere, kudos! You were right.

Well, good for you. I've heard it pronounced /tʃæn/ a lot because, you know, I live in America.

The "a" sound is the same, if that's what you were asking.

I wish I had this. This. Many times this. I can't make it work at will, though.

Quit trying to Push on my Secret Admin Cookie Box! It won't do you any good anyways; it's lined with aluminum.

Hey there, and welcome! It's always cool to see more people joining, but I'm particularly excited to see new members who were at the signing. Is that how you found out about us? ^^ I was there too; you might have seen me running around in a Mistcoat spamming pictures of everybody. Also, have a cookie!

This seemed more appropriate in general discussions, since it's not really an intro thread. Anyways, mine is pronounced "Kay chahn" - "Kay" as in the letter K, and "chahn". Not "chan" as in Jackie Chan; it's softer than that. Think the a in "father". If you've ever studied Japanese or read manga, you might be familiar with the suffix "-chan," which is a very familiar suffix used primarily with close female friends. And that's exactly where my nickname came from: my real name is Kerry, my friends added the -chan, and eventually it got shortened to K-chan. I just prefer to write it as KChan when creating usernames.

Welcome! Also, wow, Zas, that's an epic writeup. Thanks!

It was meant to be! Also, I made my first purchase for Vriska while shopping for the Alloy party. This is gonna be a fun costume.

I just don't have the time for it this year. Maybe next.

Lol! That might have been a good thing to mention, I think.

So apparently my Lame Superhero Weakness is cold. I cannot tolerate it, period. Here's hoping Brandon will release more books during warmer weather...
