shard of Ruin hey, it was you who killed him, I just sent the assassins

@andrew, what I meant was that instead of looking at each book individually, we should look at the books as a whole.

some Mistborn assassinated

was really upset (it was a different Andrew, he not black either but he works as a mechanic so hes always covered in oil)

we should look for how number 16 influences the Cosmere.

pet named Andrew.

Necromancer...pizza...necromancer...pizza...necromancer...pizza....bacon... I see no problem here.

as his first I almost feel guilty about this one...almost.

The koloss naturally

hmm...are you sure, I thought that the ideals were referred to as the Oathpact by Syl. Unfortunately, I don't have access to WoK at the moment to reread the book.

maybe he is being partially possessed by something. Normally he is stupid, but when the "something" possesses him he gains a lot of intelligence.

but Silus saw @Silus that comment just made me want to mention you again hehehe

I don't think Odium would do that sort of tactic. It would be like telling your enemy to prepare himself. I would say its more likely that the Hireocrats were a bad group to see the visions, it would be easier to speculate if I knew how the visions chose who sees them (if thy chose and its not totally random).

http://www.timewastersguide.com/forum/index.php?topic=7292.0 around 12-13 posts down. Its not exactly mentioned that HOID uses shadesmar to planet hop but... would make even more sense if Shadesmar is the cognitive realm.

The Priests claim that the visions were lies. I don't believe them. If a religious group you were in attempted to take over and failed, wouldn't you say that your leader was insane and lying to save yourself?

Does anyone think that the Hireocracy's principles and Dalinar's visions are similar. The visions tell Dalinar to "unite them" and Dalinar originally thought they were sent by the almighty (which they were, but still). The Hireocracy tried to take over because it was claimed that some of there high-priests(?) saw visions that they claimed were sent by the Almighty to unite the world. Dalinar also makes a reference on how what the visions tell him seemed similar to what the Hireocracy claimed, however he doesn't think much of it afterwards. Any thoughts, evidence, or refutations?

oops, also spelled Kiin's name wrong. You are indeed correct Chaos. I hope we get more information on Chayshin in the sequel.

Well thats ironic, I am rereading Gardens of the Moon. Also, reading a book called His Majesty's Dragon, by Naomi Novik.

TWO sequels. I heard there was going to be only one! Yes, more elantris! *celebrates* I need to reread Elantris because I can't remember how Kin's family ended up, but I think they would be majorly involved in restoring pre-reod Arelon.

because spoilers create

Thanks Chaos. I guess I'll wait until Brandon releases the actual copy.

As I was going through some of the topics, I noticed that people made references to books called Dragonsteel and Liar of Partinel. Could anyone explain to me what they are and where do I find them. (if they can be found) put this in general theories because I don't know where to put it

so they puked

@Ryan I like your theories. However, I think that the Oathpact was also "physically" broken. People who know what the Oathpact is only know the first ideal, and not any ideal after (excepting kaladin who knows two). Perhaps Odium also caused people to forget what the last three ideals were so that humankind couldn't use the ideals against him.
