That's a really interesting hypothetical scenario you've presented. It's a unique way to try and acquire the Royal Locks! But I have to wonder - even if Hoid did manage to win the rulership of Idris through a game of cards, would that necessarily mean he would have the Royal Locks? From what Vivenna says in Warbreaker, it seems like the Royal Locks are tied to lineage, so it's possible that even if Hoid became the ruler of Idris, he wouldn't necessarily have the Locks.

Thank you! I appreciate the compliment 

I'm thinking now that it probably wouldn't work, actually- the Idrian Royal Locks are tied to lineage (specifically that of Vo's human descendants), so they probably couldn't be given away via gambling or legal tricks.

I am starting to wonder though; could the Royal Locks be transferred as normal Breaths could, or would they be more like Divine Breaths where they instead turn into a super-boosted healing? Perhaps you could swing through some hoops (Connection or Identity manipulation) to do so if normal transfer doesn't work either.

Also, welcome to the 17th Shard! 
Friends, I also thought about this question. Although trying to win Royal Castles through gambling may seem like an interesting idea, we must remember that it is a serious responsibility. It requires certain knowledge and I spend a lot of effort on this game. During my breaks, I started reading about luckytigercasino.com, found lucky tiger no deposit bonus and now I study it constantly. A couple just gets tired of playing. I want something new, but always when I look for it I come across something horrible.

While the shortcut through the game may seem appealing, we also need to consider what happens after we get those castles. How can we ensure the well-being of the people and maintain stability in the kingdom?

I have been thinking of backing Brandon’s Words of radiance campaign for the secret project hard back and one of the pushes. This would cost me $90 and I live in the uk. I am concerned that it will cost me another £50 to ship it across to England. If anyone has backed his previous campaigns could you tell me the rough shipping costs please
 

As someone who is UK based I have ordered the Secret Project box ($50) knowing that box alone will also cost $30 in shipping.

The Secret Project Box is not due to ship untill Mid 2025. The plushies (and any other add ons) are due to ship at the same time as the Words of Radience books (later this  year) but in a seperate shipment (as with all add ons).  That means that If you order a plushy as well as the secret project box, there willl be an extra postage charge for that plushy shipment which will calculated by wheight when you complete the backer survey once the campaingn ends (30th of March). 

I also fancied 2 of the plushies and the two prime books bringing my overall order to $200. This was based on the guess that two plushies and 2 books is likely to be as big and weigh about the same as the $650 dollar tier with the bigger words of radience books (as well as Dragonsteel Prime and the 10 radient order boxes). So I'm expecting to pay around the same price as the $100 dollar shipping cost to the UK of that tier for my order. For 1 plushy I think your postage will be less, but it might cost somewhere around the ame price as the secret project box. My guess is that you are going to pay arround $60 postage (maybe a bit more or less) for the secret project box and one plushy.

Shipping was like $15
