Hi,
I've been lurking as a guest here for a while and finally decided to register.
I have read WoK several times. However I've never read any of Brandon's other works.
I think it would be nice to compile some sort of index of terms and terminology to help new people like myself out.
Normal concepts like spren and shardplate don't need much explanation besides a brief overview since they are described in the book.
A good example of things that I have not found a simple explanation of are things like Adonalsium and Cultivation.
Are Honor and Odium people? Not necessarily humans I mean, but individuals with self-awareness and corporeal bodies? Are they some sort of hybrid omnipotent super-beings?
What are the heralds? They can't die, because they just go to some torturous hell in between being resurrected into the world, so are they humans?
I think some important dates and summaries are needed. Explaining what the Recreance was and what happened would be a good example.
I apologize if something like this already exists, I have looked and have not found it.
Thanks in advance!
