It was hinted that the epilogue of WoR will be a Hoid battle. Can't speak for the length though.

hahahahaha, this is gold! Would love to see a few of these assembled into newspaper format. I'll start thinking as I read them again, but that is a hard act to follow,

hoooooooooooooooiiiiiiiiiiiiiiddddddddddddd!

Isn't that the situation our Earth is in though? Forgive me, I find this topic interesting even though I haven't read much on it.

There might be something to be said about removing a particularly troublesome Herald's Honorblade. And if Hoid ended up trying to help Roshar, who better to have such an asset?

Perspective.

I'm pretty sure it has been said that Hoid will have some sort of fight with someone in the WoR epilogue, so unfortunately, I think he is about to start taking a more active role, whether he wants to or not.

I'd say yes, but my hope is that we see this scenario tweaked a little bit. It appears as though Hoid is collecting magical possessions from each Shardworld. If he got his hands on an Honorblade as well as an Awakened blade, that would be the real show. Still yes to your actual question. I think something along these lines will happen at some point in the series, too.

Looks good! but there are WoR spoilers on it, so you my want to put it under a spoiler tag until a moderator moves it. Highlight the picture and click the third button from the left in the edit options, then select spoiler. Edit: if you don't mind, I would like to attach the picture to my personal blog (for my reference only). Is that ok?

Good call! went and followed him. Thanks!

Context. Gavilar was not "a threat to the greater good" so far as we know. All we are aware of is that the Parshendii are assassinating a man who has not been proven guilty of anything so that he does not execute an unknown plan. We don't know if Gavilar was doing anything wrong OR if the Parshendii could have handled the problem by simply talking to him, because the clearly decided not to (see Gavilar's guesses at his murderer). So we are back to knowing only that the Parshendii assassinated the king of a nation on the day of a peace treaty with reasons they kept to themselves. They recognize their guilt and the wrongness of their actions, but they consider it worth it. That is expressed in the Eshonai POV, and is the exact opposite of that "honor" definition we have been given. The scope is the scope. Further into context, we were discussing the Parshendii being "bound to honor" or "honorbound" in a way that suggests they always operate by that method. I think if we can recognize a dishonorable, underhanded assassination, we can consider that possibility false.

I'll say this: the payout at the end (the last three books) is well well worth the trek. No doubt it gets really slow. I took a 3 year break mid way through crossroads of twilight and had to do a full reread to get back into it. Seeing the characters struggle like that for so long and then really come into themselves is extremely cathartic. Especially at the end of book 12. That one really got me. Anyway, it is worth it, but if it seems like too much and you have other things to be reading/doing, you could take the shortcut and come out just fine. If you read the Tor.com rereads of the books, they are actually very detialed (though warning, the analysis sections give spoilers from down the road). Those books will go from only slightly satisfying (if that's how you feel) to 0 satisfying. But you can go back and read the chapters that sound exciting in the summaries if you feel like it. I highly recommend doing this if that is what it is going to take to push you to the final books. They are so so entertaining.

It's the perfect recipe for creating highstorms! Mwahaha!

I thought that was the one that we had figured out. The surges link to both the Orders that can utilize them and the Surges that create an effect when they are paired. Like if one of the three lashings, or something we have not seen, uses both Gravity and Pressure.

@Ephemera was my inspiration. That massive hunk of book was my muse.

I'll give you a tiny rundown of the theories I have heard. -The lines represent Orders whose abilities can mesh/enhance one another. -The lines connect Each Order to an opposite Order in terms of thier spren's identification to the Physical/Cognitive/Spiritual realms, Honor/Cultivation, or other groupings. -The lines connect Orders that share things - obviously the Surges, but then another ability or trait with those across the way. -The lines represent relationships between the Heralds -The lines represent a physical puzzle, like a blacksmith's puzzle sort of thing. It's kind of a mess and that should show there is really no understanding right now. I'll look around for others. There was discussion in one of my topics somewhere....

Valley of Truth being a Shin holy site / really anything would make sense though. If he didn't follow the code or drastically defied Truth, he would be banished. It doesn't really change anything because we know he was banished from all of Shinovar until he is sent back or dead.

Order 11: Tartpoppers.

At least that is what I suspect we'll see in the first glimpse of Radiance. Not sure, but.... pretty confident.

These are exceptional. I encourage you to keep going with it! I might have to call dibs on the amethyst one if it is purple enough

? One line or epigraph a day for 30 days would be like a page. They have been releasing several chapters at a time up until now. I don't think these are going to break the bank.

I think the Shin are a little more collected as a society than "cast away those who lie or contradict us." The tone of the merchant that Rysn meets also suggests that they have not seen someone like Szeth (implied) and he (rather darkly) hopes that nobody will ever be like him again. I don't think that reaction would occur for something like a heretic unless Szeth was immensely influential. You are reffering to two very seperate and unpublished works. I am talking about a rough draft of a published work that we now have that uses the same term in the same context but has not yet explained it in the current text. I wouldn't call one incident "often" either. Additionally, Brandon has mentioned taking pieces of Mythwalker specifically and putting it into other texts.
