I see what you are saying, but the American colonies were very close to the foundation of the American state (like including a fall of (… sliver kingdom) on one of these pages, which I think is a good idea) but the silver kingdoms and their ‘successors’ aren’t terribly close at all (Makamakam is culturally real different then Azir). So far, most nation pages are about the nations themselves (e.g. we have a Hallandren and a Hanald page, both are in the same region, but they’re different nations (same with Tu bayla and Bayala)). It should also be noted that we have separate pages for the silver kingdoms, if nation pages are more about the people and culture, shouldn’t these be merged (following your logic)?

I’ve noticed that many of the major Rosharan nation pages (Azir, Alethkar, Shinovar etc), which could be considered the successors to the Silver kingdoms, include history from before their founding (human arrival, heraldic Epochs etc). I think this should be removed, or rather moved to the Silver kingdoms pages, because, like I said, the states weren’t there yet. These nation pages aren’t about the land itself, their about the nations. What do you guys think of this?

That makes sense. I hadn’t actually thought about it like that, but it makes sense that it is a duty instead of a rank. Yeah that makes more sense, but Perethom did fight (he died at the tower). So he probably did command, but just not all the infantry. Note that there is an Archerlord mentioned, his name is Ashelem. (Sa1 ch26)

That makes sense, but why are Perethom and Kaladin highmarshals? They don’t command any policing forces.

So yeah, like the title says, I don’t really understand the command structure of the Alethi military. Can someone answer the questions below? subsquad 6–8 - sergeant squad ~25 - squadleader platoon ~50 - captain/captainlord company ~100 - companylord battalion ~1000 - battalionlord division ~2000 - general army - highprince Then there are also the following ranks: highmarshal, what is his job? What does a highmarshal command and where does he fit in the chain of command? (Kaladin and Perethom (during the rift) were two highmarshals) Highofficer, what is his job, what does he command and where does he fit into the chain of command? (Teleb served as highofficer) company second, am I right to assume it’s just the second in command of a companylord? Then there are also certain officers who have specific duties, an example of this is the ‘commander of the rearguard’. Where exactly do they fit in the chain of command? There are also officers who command certain parts of the army, such as the ‘infantrylord’ or ‘Archerlord’. Where do these fit in the chain of command?

The Coppermind contains a page called ‘Aonic Royal Families’. I think this page is unnecessary. All it contains is a lineage of the two Royal families, which, while useful and interesting, don’t need their own page. There is also the fact that most people won’t notice the page. I think that the page should be divided between the pages ‘Arelon’ and ‘Teod’. I suggest splitting the lineage into two parts as well, with the Teo family on the Teod page and the Arelene family on the Arelon page, instead of keeping them together. Let me know what you think about this!

Ah alright, thanks. What would that ‘external’ attribute be (could you name an example)?

Wait I thought Pewter and Tin were used for Augmenter/Diminisher Fabrials? The Coppermind: So what is the difference between these metals?

The Coppermind has the following to say about the use of Zinc and Brass in Fabrials: I don’t really understand what this actually does (what happens when the spren manifests more/less?). Can someone explain it to me? (Preferably with the use of an example)

Rhythm of War chapter 89 Its been four and a half thousand years since the fused returned to Roshar, even without proper tools and materials they should still have built palaces on Braize. Im going to assume that even without a body the Fused can still sing the song of prayer to acquire voidlight. Assuming they’re in the cognitive realm they could use this light to manifest objects. Raboniel seems to suggest that they are actually in the physical realm however (see the quote above). If they are in the physical realm voidlight wouldn’t even be needed to manifest things and the Fused could begin building immediately. Assuming they had voidlight the Fused could even use the surges to aid them in the building of their palaces. Braize probably doesn’t have most of the conventional materials you would use to build your palace, but it should still have some things. For one there should be plenty of stone around, and when you’ve got plenty of time to carve it you can build almost anything out of stone. I think that if they get creative enough they can build some very nice structures. They don’t have tools either, but once again, they could make at least some tools, and for other things they could find techniques to replicate the outcome. So why isn’t Braize one big city filled with palaces?

Alright, I figured out a way to edit the page and remove the redirect, I also pasted the text onto the page. I suppose that finishes this thread. Enjoy the new page!

Alright thanks. I’ll be sure to look on the discord next time. Nice. But like Treamayne said, a Keeper first needs to change it so that the page doesn’t immediately redirect to Hallandren.

I’m afraid I’m going to start this up again. Like I stated above, I edited the page a little bit, if you want to have a look go to User:Nightstar The Bright on the coppermind. Does it look alright? Should I change anything and most importantly, if it is ready, can I make a page for it/place it on the coppermind? While we’re not in a rush I would like to be able to place it on the coppermind, finish this thread and delete it from my user page.

Ah alright, thanks, that makes sense.

So while searching for the Kelsier page I found a page called Kelsier’s bones. I just wonder why this page exists, there is no vital information/ information that can’t be put on other pages like Kelsier/Oreseur/Tensoon etc (in my opinion). Can someone explain to me why exactly this page exists and if not, what do you guys think about removing it and spreading the information out on other pages?

I removed a little bit of information, that which didn’t have anything to do with the Iridescent Tones. The truth is that the whole Kalad/Peacegiver thing about starting/ending the war is very important to the religion. Kalad is seen as something akin to the devil because of what he did, and Peacegiver is worshipped for ending the war. This just needs to be in the History section as it is very important to the religion. Let me know what you think of this new version, although it isn’t very different.

Thanks! Yes I agree with you, I had my doubts about this part as well. I’ll edit it soon.

I thought that Wax and friends were wrong in assuming that a full spectrum meant a god metal, and god metals just happened to have full spectrums. But I suppose it’s possible the Set use this to tell how invested a spike is.

He had an aluminum gun/rifle rounds he could sell to buy the right bullets. Yes, that was what I was looking for, thanks.

But why would she need to examine the spike? I imagine that there wouldn’t be a need to examine the spike if she already knew how invested it was. It is more likely that something about it ‘changes’, which you can see/read. Ah yes I had forgotten about White Sand.

Like the title states, how did the scientist know that the spike was 5% invested. Is there a way to read the investiture in spikes?

Why didn’t Wax shoot Miles with an aluminum bullet. Miles couldn’t have healed that right?

I assume you meant the amount of bendalloy he had, I don’t remember him having an insanely large amount of pewter. That would work yeah.

Allomantic Pewter strengthens the body (among other things). Vin thinks that not only her muscles are strengthened, but her skin and bones are too. Now I wonder if this aspect of Allomantic Pewter can be used to become invincible for a time. Regular flaring isn’t close to the Allomantic strength needed to become invincible. However someone with duralumin (and a large enough amount of pewter) should be able to do it. Simply burn all of the pewter at once when you’re going to get hit and your body should be protected. I think Vin already did this at the assembly fight in the Well of Ascension. She headbutted a Thug with such strength that (even with his pewter burning) his head exploded. Hitting your head with such force against someone else should hurt, enough to break things or at least go unconscious. As this didn’t happen I think she became invincible (for a second or two). To become invincible for a while you need to do the following: Be born a Mistborn / collect the appropriate spikes and spike yourself. Swallow a lot of pewter and some duralumin. burn both metals just as something (sword/arrow/bullet) hits you. This way you’ll be protected from the object, although it must be noted that your invincibility will only last a second. What do you guys think of this theory? Is it plausible?
