This may be the closest I will ever get to being an Allomancer. =(

Just throwing this out there: Gem Spikes, to steal magic systems from Roshar.

I assumed that these two metals were the "new" metals that the people living in the south have.

Tien would have been a Stonewarden. This is shown by his affinity for various rocks, which he can see with a more discerning eye than any of the other people in town.

Can you point to where they acknowledge there being 16 known metals? I think that if they knew of Nicrosil and Chromium we would have heard someone mention them, especially in the Elendel Daily ad that hires out Allomancers, as a Nicroburst would be like, massively useful to that sort of company.

I didn't realize it until reading this thread.=(

Ironeyes is Marsh. Marsh has the same powers as the Lord Ruler, and so can use the same tricks to attain immortality (compounding atium). Sazed is indeed Harmony, and it is him speaking to Wax during that section. He isn't actually asking him that, he's just being rhetorically to get Wax to arrive at the conclusion that he needs to reach in order to press on and defeat Miles.

Definitely interested!

Yeah, I am definitely going to assume that the recipient of the letter is literally a reptile.

That makes sense then, yeah. Can you point me towards the info stating each Order had two powers? I think I may have missed that.

Wouldn't that still put them in the same Order, though, putting us shy of a 1-book-per-order scheme?

I definitely agree with this. I don't think he has literally merged the two shards together. He simply is the only person we have seen so far to hold two shards at once, and he probably realized "Sazed" is a pretty rust name for a God in the Cosmere.

This only works though if Szeth/Kaladin and Jasnah/Shallan have different powers, which it very much seems they do not. Though, given the complexity of Roshar's magic systems...it is possible.

True, though Atium was being harvested and kept away from Ruin. Shardblades are, by admission, few and far between. It seems possible that Rayse would let some of his own destructive power circulate, if it increased the war and hatred on Roshar. I am not suggesting that they are splinters of Odium's Shard in the way that Seons or Skaze are. We saw Atium, despite Ruin being unsplintered. The Shards have physical bodies that, as we have seen, are not really bodies at all.

Yes, sorry, for got to include that. That was what initially gave me that thought in the first place.
