Prior to the death of the Lord Ruler, be a high-ranking obligator with knowledge of hemalurgy. As Vin removes the Lord Ruler’s anti-aging measures, steal his gold feruchemy. Proceed to the Well of Ascension, consume Hoid’s Lerasium, and hide Elend’s bead somewhere safe. Then step through the perpendicularity, tell Kelsier what’s going on, then provide him much-needed companionship and compassion, helping him get through the fact that he can’t help people or leave the well. Inform him of the Ire, and emphasize the importance of protecting the Shard of Preservation, preferably via obtaining it. Using your Mistborn powers, leave the Well on the physical side, escape Kredik Shaw, and enter the Kandra homeland. Tell them basically what they want to hear. You are an emissary from the Lord Ruler. He is not dead, but in hiding. It doesn’t matter what you say, as long as they let you near the Atium. When they are distracted, steal a bag. Just for general funds and protection on your journey. Return to Kredik Shaw, take up the power at the Well of Ascension, become a fullborn Kandra or other semihuman shapeshifter, and fix Scadrial. Cultivate a cult around you, selecting an inner circle of unwaveringly loyal lackeys. Around this time, Kelsier is in possession of the Shard of Preservation. Encourages him to hold onto that. Find Nightblood. It’s probably hard, but you have hundreds of years to do it. Avenge something. Work hard. Be passionate about it. Cultivate your plan to fruition. Alternatively, have Sja-anat enlighten the Sibling. Bond them. Find Rayse and talk to him. It doesn’t matter what for. Kill him with Nightblood. Take up Odium. You now have the Shards of Odium and Honor. Start a religion on Roshar, same as Scadrial. Get mad at Cultivation for an honorable reason. Attack. I don’t know what this Intent is. Any guesses? Keep killing Shards with Nightblood. Found religions. Really go ham with it You might have to kill every member of Autonomy separately, but that’s ok. Your hard work will pay off in the end. Don’t kill Hoid. Steal his memory, Taravangian-style. He won’t like that. Back to Scadrial. Multi-Shardic worlds really are a pain, you know? Kelsier owes you one. As a friend. From a friend to a friend, give him his favorite Dawnshard. Let him leave the shards to the experts. He can’t handle it anyway. Have a minion give up the power at the Well of Ascension. Give them Preservation, and let them pull a Vin. You know all about Harmony. You kill Vessels to preserve order, don’t you know? Eat every Hion. How do you do that? I don’t know. Repeat for seons and skaze. You are now Adonalsium, the god of a new world. You are all powerful, all mighty. You have won the Cosmere. For my dawnshards, I’d pick Kelsier, Rysn, Sazed, and Khriss. For planet governors/leaders, I’d pick Raoden, Elend, Jasnah, Lightsong and Vathi for their home planets. All other planets’ books don’t feature loads of good characters in high positions of power. Man, that was a long post, sorry

Things Brandon won't do (but are funny)
OoklaApologist replied to Nitpicking's topic in Cosmere Discussion
Brandon probably didn’t do this: Gavinor grows up in Kharbranth. He plays with Taravangian’s grandkids for a bit of social reinforcement of his indoctrination. He has a surprisingly good childhood, with one caveat. No one grows up in Spiritual Realm Kharbranth. No one dies. No one grows old. Adrotaiga has perceived herself living for hundreds of years. Imagine your childhood friends never grew up. Never moved on. You’re thirty and Jimmy down the street still rides his bike to school. Would that be isolating? Would you make new friends at every step of life? What would happen if you were the only one who changed? It’s just a theory. -

You know, I thought a while, and I couldn’t come up with any. I guess remembering unremarkable things is hard -
Analysis of the dawnshards with new information
OoklaApologist replied to Dofurion's topic in Cosmere Discussion
I’m pretty sure there’s a WoB giving a few hints on these categories, but I don’t have it saved. I’m not that good at finding them, can someone help out? -
Why must every planet be a representative government
OoklaApologist replied to bmcclure7's topic in Cosmere Discussion
Thank you! -
Also, doesn’t he say that he spent several days after the scouring comatose and staring off into the distance, pondering what he did wrong? Part of his problem was that he wasn’t 100% compos mentis, and isn’t really keeping himself together when talking to Dalinar

I’m sorry, I’m having a hard time parsing this. Why do you think democracy must be boring, again? -
Did book 5 affect your feelings of the whole series?

He doesn’t even consider that he’s depriving Sigzil’s army of Stormlight -
Why must every planet be a representative government
OoklaApologist replied to bmcclure7's topic in Cosmere Discussion
That’s an interesting idea. Can you elaborate? -
Good point. I don’t exactly know how they would interact, but I’m convinced shardplate sections would shatter under conventional antitank weapons
