Thanks to Flywinged for starting this game. I'm not good at picking questions, but I tried to go with one that wouldn't be too hard, or too easy. Here it is: What was the name of the former head of the Cobalt Guard(Kaladin's predecessor)?

You Know You're a Sanderfan When...
bookspren replied to Shardbearer's topic in General Brandon Discussion
When a conversation goes like this: Friend 1:Why are you petting the table with your foot? Friend 2:Maybe it wanted petted. Tables have feelings too. Friend 1: No they don't. Me: Actually in the cosmere all things exist in the three realms including the Cognitive realm. So the table kind of would have feelings. If you were a Soulcaster you could go to the Cognitive realm and try to persuade it to change... Friend 1:*eyes start to glass over* Oh go talk to Friend 3(my only Sanderfan friend). -
You Know You're a Sanderfan When...

When you constantly quote Wayne to your non-reader friend to show her what she's missing. When you're watching Frozen and that friend asks how the trolls necklaces glow, and you say "oh, probably with Stormlight." Or when you get really distracted because you're comparing and contrasting Anna with Shallan. They do kind of look alike. -

Bondsmith Spren and Mythology
bookspren replied to Horatio Spifflewicket's topic in Stormlight Archive
Just wanted to throw in my thoughts about Moelach and Bondsmith spren. My Idea: The writer of the TWoK Ars Arcanum says they're not sure if "the ten levels of Voidbinding" fit into the little chart given. But the fact that it's mentioned makes me think there is some similarity between Surgebinding and Voidbinding, perhaps leading to parallel orders. What if the Stormfather, the Nightwatcher, and Cusicesh are on the same level with Moelach and the other unmade? There would be some Honor/Cultivation super-spren and some Odium super-spren. Maybe there are even a few more spren on the same level as the big three available for Bondsmiths. This explains why their numbers were few, though three is never stated to be an upper or lower limit on their numbers just that it was not considered uncommon. However, to increase their numbers further, they would have to start bonding the Unmade or similar entities that had Odium's Investiture. That would explain why increasing their numbers would have been seditious. Problems with my idea: We have no indication that bonding Unmade is possible or that there is much similarity between Surgebinding and Voidbinding. It seems odd for an order to be able to bond varying kinds of spren (unless there is some similarity among the super-spren I'm not aware of) Tied to the previous, it's odd they all have tension and adhesion if they're bonding different spren. This does not explain why the Stormfather refuses to be a Blade for Dalinar. Maybe it's just ego. Please feel free to tear this apart. It was fun to think about, but I'm probably pretty wrong. -

I tried to upvote Arthur's post and accidentally downvoted it. Stupid phone. Can someone please fix this for me? -
What Cosmere books have you read?
bookspren replied to Iredomi's topic in General Brandon Discussion
Add me to the ranks of those who have yet to read Allomancer Jak. I also haven't read Aether or Shadows for Silence. I'm saving those for a time when I really need a Sanderson fix. The most recent thing I read was Sixth of Dusk, which I really enjoyed. -

Way of Kings was my introduction to Sanderson too! Welcome to the 17th Shard. (You know this means you have to help us find Hoid now, right? ) -
Discussion on State of The Sanderson 2
bookspren replied to Moash's topic in General Brandon Discussion
The last one I got was a few months ago. It had some news on new versions and new releases, signing info, stuff like that. But there was also a short scene from Stormlight 3 included. It's worth signing up for, and he doesn't send them out all the time, so it won't clog your inbox or anything. -
I've always thought Human by Christina Perri fit Vin rather well.

Have you ever tried Avatar: The Last Airbender? It's an animated series with anime influences. I started watching it with my friend just to make her happy and ended up binge-watching the entire series in a week.

When you realize you are closest to ISTJ on the Myers Briggs type indicator, discover they are described as dependable people who will make sure things get done, and think "Ha, I really am a Stoneward!" When you wonder if it's significant that there are 16 types. -
You Know You're a Sanderfan When...
bookspren replied to Shardbearer's topic in General Brandon Discussion
Well, he is rather tall and extremely fond of cryptic answers. If I ask him how he did something, the standard response is "sorcery" or "magic". His mannerisms are very Hoid-ish, which is what made it so perfectly hilarious. -
You Know You're a Sanderfan When...

When the highlight of your week was convincing your friend to sit atop a trash can just inside the door and wittily mock/insult people as the other members of your student organization arrived. He called it trash talking and everyone thought it was funny. (I had to explain why I was laughing so much harder than everyone else.) It was kind of surreal, like I had fallen into Roshar. It was great. -

bookspren replied to fastlindyrick's topic in Stormlight Archive
Wonderful! I love looking through these. The duel scenes were especially cool to see. The map of Roshar was really nice too. That chess set. I wish I had one of those. Thanks for sharing these with us. -

When you check Brandon's official site and get really psyched because the progress bars have been updated. (Shadows of Self is at 36% and Stormlight 3 Pre-writing is at 25% *fist-pump*) -
Those are really cute! Actually Syl v2 is almost exactly how I picture her in my head. Love it.

When snapping green beans makes you think of Allomancy.
