Nyks trailed behind him, deciding to just take things in for herself.

Nyks sat in the outskirts, away from others, mumbling about Scrutator and the people she was stuck with

"Rondure?" Nyks cocked her head in confusion. "Scrutator! Where did you send me this time!" She shouted upwards. There was no response, there never was.

"I do not know of such forests," Nyks said, taking in her surroundings. "What planet are we on?"

Trapper Name: First of noon Vorin: Artetras (Don't want to be too holy!) Unkalaki: Nakana'kainalu'ana (no meaning here besides the fact that kainalu means ocean wave in hawaiian) Shin: Artemis daughter [redacted] (to prevent doxxing my dad) Korathi: Raorah (Rao - Spirit + elements of my hebrew name. though my hebrew name means light so maybe I should have gone with Ashe, though Raorah would basically mean spirit light) Returned: Moonlight Sword (elements of my name plus swords are cool) Threnodite: Chasity (I think it would quite the name) Kandra: AreTim (close enough to my real name)

"Oh hello there. I'm new here too, my name is Nyks." (not irl, nothing against that name since I came up with it, just wanted to make that clear. Nyks is not me, she's a character from one of my writing WIPs and it's fun to get into her head. If you're wondering, where she's from doesn't believe in the letter "x", they use "ks" instead. Hence Nyks instead of Nyx) "There appears to be chaos going on, that seems to be the general theme here. I shall just lurk until I'm dragged in." Nyks lips curve into a slight smile. "What is your name?" "Hello stranger, what have I stumbled upon?"

I think the vast majority of ethical concerns are due to the sourcing of the bodies. Murder is inherently unethical. The solution that I thought of was people (Mistings, Mistborn, and Feruchemists) donating their bodies after death to be spiked, or allowing a "spiking service" to spike them, then return their body to their family. Though I wonder if ones Allomantic/Feruchemical power deteriorates after death, because that would lead to the requirement of fresh bodies. Fresh bodies could be taken out of hospitals, otherwise where do you get them without murder? Unless the Allomancer/Feruchemist has to be alive during the spiking, that would bring up a lot of problems, both logistically and ethically. I could do more research on Hemalurgic spiking (to receive maximum potency of power) but I have decided not to for the sake of this. I do know that spikes must be stored in blood to keep the power from deteriorating, or something along the lines of that. If living people are required, I suppose someone who is dying can be put under anesthesia, numbed, them spiked. I presume consciousness isn't necessary. If it is, maybe laughing gas or the Scadrian equivalent could be employed, along with a strong numbing agent and pain meds. Overall, Hemalurgy has the potential to be ethical, but it would be hard to achive not to mention complicated. Last thing: Does spiking someone (the one who's power is getting taken) kill them? Or can they still live afterwards? I'm going to do some research on that. Why did I respond in essay form? Because I could. And it was really fun to do. Edit: The person can live, Hemalurgic spiking usually kills them. I'm now off to figure out if the person can be dead or not. Edit 2: No information I can find about the donor being dead pre spiking.

I think I might be able to, and epic fantasy! I need a break from my main thing that's a hot tangled mess

2359 - True

Exactly! I find Syladin incest-y for that reason

Hey! I'm a highschooler who intends to lurk around here before officially joining. I've been reading non-stop forever, along with creating worlds in my head. Or more commonly, modifying worlds from books I liked. Until the fall of this year, I was never able to get past 3,000 words in any writing project. Right now I'm in denial of having worldbuilder's disease and my main project is close to 20,000 words (I re-wrote it once so in total I've written about 70,000 words contributing) I love Brandon Sanderson's cosmere (hence why I'm on the 17th shard), along with a whole host of other authors, none of which I remember off the top of my head. Oh and I suck at grammar (but only for my own writing, I'm good at catching other's errors) I write a bunch of fantasy, right now I have a world encompassing seven planets, handful of fleshed out cultures, too many characters, and more. But not enough plots!! Only one of my many projects actually has a plot. The amount of times I've tried to write before actually having a plot is way too high (especially when I wonder why it's not working, hmmm I think there's some key element missing here, I wonder what) Yeah.

or you can think enough so you overthink overthinking so you're no longer overthinking (i think its worked in the past?) hello

Hello there

Woah I adore these!! Can't wait to see the finished pair

I would say you have (at least) two options. Option one: Stormlight re-read and get Sunlit Man in after Rhythm of War but before Wind and Truth Option two: Tress, Yumi, and White Sand (in whatever order), then Stormlight Re-read with Sunlit Man I read Tress and Yumi in the span of a week and a half (They're about 350 pages, if I'm remembering right) My recommendation is go with what interests you the most! Plus, you don't have to read Wind and Truth the second it is released, there's no issue in waiting a little so you can catch up. Overall, it really depends on what you want and your reading speed.

2331 - Welcome as well!

If someone seems like they read fantasy, I ask if they read fantasy then ask if they've read Brandon Sanderson. Alternative strategy is always carry around a cosmere book (I can vouch, it has worked) Then if they say they've read fantasy but not Brandon Sanderson I can recommend the Cosmere.

2328 - Thanks guys!
