Through The Living Ash

Okay... Suddenly, Taeinid comes running across the way, looking over his shoulder. He stops and puts his hands on his knees, huffing.

Thank you both. Okay, so... I'm leafing through this thread and... Could somebody give me a basic summary of what's happening in one of the plots right now so I can understand the context?

Hi, I'm new to TLT. How do I start?

Truthwatcher leaning Windrunner here. Also the question is "What do you get when you multiply six by nine".

Sounds good. When do we start?

I think Cultivation would likely go to some planet that does not have shardic influence and hide out, waiting for things to blow over. We see in the books that she is resistant to immediate action and prefers to plan things out in the long run. In addition, the main reason that she was with another Shard is because Tanavast wanted it. She will likely return to Roshar once the threat of Retribution is eliminated. Although I could also see her potentially going to Endowment for assistance, as it seems that their Intents would mesh nicely.

That is another theory that I had not considered, but I wasn't precisely suggesting harmonics as the reason for differing affects of investiture. According to the Standard Model of particle physics, both matter and energy are made of particles called fermions and bosons, respectively. WoB has stated that there is a triad between matter, energy, and investiture, suggesting that investiture is also made of another class of subatomic (or in this case subaxial) particles, particularly since it may exist on its own and become sentient. There are 24 different types of fermions and I think maybe 9 different bosons, so it follows that there would be different types of investiture particles as well, which could be arranged into things similar to atoms depending on the fundamental forces acting upon them. Due to the existence of anti-investiture, investiture particles must have charges so it could be assumed that something that is invested is simply attracting investiture particles towards it. This may not be the electromagnetic force however, since magnets do not seem to have an affect on investiture.

There is not one type of matter nor energy, so why should there be only one type of investiture? It is possible that each Shard has its own, or maybe multiple, types of investiture that resonate at different frequencies due to their structure and also emit different wavelengths of light. The structure/type of particles of each type of investiture could indeed influence how the investiture forms and affects matter and energy.

9. Why would you ever do that? I have read the books and watched the movies. I didn't enjoy them as much as I did others, but they were pretty good.

Who doesn't?

I have to go with Awakening.

My favorite spren type is probably anticipationspren. My favorite state is California since I grew up there.

Hello everyone! Some info about me: my favorite character is Sazed, my Radiant order is Truthwatcher leaning towards Windrunner and I am from the East coast of the United States. I'm in high school and have read the entire published Cosmere except for White Sand and The Sunlit Man. I have also read Skyward.
