Done! (no, seriously. I made waffles.) You'll have to stop by Norway to get it, though.

It seems likely that the things associated with each Herald could have become a bit twisted over the millennia. Luck could have something to do with money or commerce. Isn't Ishar supposed to be the Herald of Surgeons also? Maybe there was a Silver Nation of Health Care? Beauty could be linked with creativity and artistry - culture in general. "Kings" - especially put into context with "leading / protecting" - could be interpreted as the guiding nation, possibly the one were executive and legislative decisions were made. Other than that, there should be one for agriculture as well.

Scadrian Waffle Cook all-da-way!

Btw, could Brandon be subtly hinting at his original Dragonsteel here? Do we have any information on the contents of his thesis?

And by the way. Let me say Penguins, man. Penguins! Also Muppets.

What else do you consider "imposible to find?

"Huddled closer together"? "Holding him"? It's subtle, but they did the nasties. Also, I think there is a WoB on it somewhere. I haven't mentioned it before because I couldn't remember where I'd found it. I'll look around.

The chapters referenced in the previous posts suggest rather firmly that they are in fact having sexual relations. And Navani is around 55 years old in Earth years. Unless Rosharan physiology is significantly different than ours, she should be past her menopause. I am not a 100% convinced on my own position on Vin and Elend. Brandon's a prude and doesn't say much about these things directly, correct, but they are happening behind the scenes. Whether they are or not in Vin and Elend's case is not clear either way. And I don't agree that the arguments for is basically a "but I want them to" argument. The arguments as formulated primarily by me might be weak, but I am not sure that it is quite so certain that Vin would be quite as prudish as you suggest. She was already sleeping next to him - which would be a huge deal for her considering her trust issues. I don't think it would be that much of a leap to assume they could be sleeping together at this point as well. Remember, she was more or less committed to him at this point, she was just not willing to marry him out of a sense of self-deprecation. She wasn't worthy. One thing that might change the picture though, would be the story of Elend's first sexual experience. How did it come up? Which book? What was the context of him telling the story, and to whom?

^^ There'll be more as I continue to slowly build up the List. As of the time of this posting, there is a disappointing lack of Swedish Chefs...

But Belgian Waffles are horrible! You shall have some good Norwegian ones. One with butter and strawberry jam (we're operating on post-ascension Scadrial, here), and one with butter and delicious brown cheese. You know, the good kind!

You make some good arguments. I think, in the end, it depends on how Vin feels about sex. She is together with Elend at this point (though grows somewhat distant towards the end of her arc), and though she hasn't fully given in to her love for him at this point, she trusts him enough to sleep next to him, and unless she is super sensitive about sexual relations (and having grown up on the streets, I am not sure she would be), and I don't think it would be that much of stretch to bump uglies as well. In the end, I don't think we can say for sure either way. We're going to need a WoP or WoB on this.

Oh, just edit in an additional buy/sell for mine, and I'm happy. Sell, because Gallifrey is obviously home to a bunch of Shards, notably the Shards of Temporal and Spacial Shenenigans, and the Shard that just wants to run away and hide. EDIT: Ninja'd myself! Why? Explain! Hesitantly buy. Crem sort of explains it, but it seems cheap if it would be the only limiting factor in play. Bavadin is an evil Shard made neutral-ish by its Intent.

WUHU! Scadrian Waffle Cook! Life-goal achieved!

Buy, because obviously! Brandon has a German(y) based culture (Bismarck era) somewhere in the Cosmere.

Sell, if only because I don't think Bridge Four will go there colletively. Hoid's sword really is an Awakened Blade. Named Alonzo. ("Allons-y Allonzo!") Secondary product: Hoid speaks French.

I might be mistaken about it being in the Annotations, but I still find it rather likely. Brandon is subtle about these things, and even if there is no scenes where they wake up naked together before after they were married, they still could have been sexually active. Remember that there is really no direct indications that Alrianne and Breeze had slept together either, other than OMG THEY SLEPT IN THE SAME BED! And even that probably wouldn't convince most Sharders unless it wasn't mentioned specifically in the Annotations.

Reread the first page of the last Dalinar chapter of the Way of Kings. It's subtle, but the scene definitely takes place post sexy shenanigans. I think it was alluded to in the Annotations. But I think it is rather clear that they would. Vin wanted a relationship with Elend, but she was insistent on never getting married at this point.And yes, Siri and Susebron were married. I had forgotten.

I see. Well, I am not comfortable posting anything that is not public knowledge, so el_warko is off limits unless he happen to mention where he is from in a Post somewhere. Could you ask nard1993 to stop by this Thread?

Hey, Fnord? How do you know that el_warko is an Australian? I'd trying to add the stragglers, but I don't feel like I can add anyone that hasn't given up the information themselves. Also, no one except dj26792 really qualifies for the List. EDIT: Also Nard1993. Couldn't find anything on his User page nor his Introduction Thread.

I played Dragonvale. My account should still be active. How so?

You're the Witslayer! Or the Kingswitslayer, or whatever.

I find it amusing how stereotypical this conversation got. But you know, in a good way!

Just popping in to come with some examples of extramarital sexual shenanigans: Dalinar and Navani Alrianne and Breeze Jewel and Clod (No, seriously!) Siri and Susebron (Sure, the latter is a god, the former not so much) Vin and Elend (before they got married) Plus prostitutes from the Way of Kings and Words of Radiance. EDIT: I forgot Siri and Susebron were married. And while Jewel is mentally unstable, she was not married!

We have WoB that Spren can be killed. How remains to be seen. Buy, because Laral's story is just sad. Roshone will die in Stones Unhallowed, and it will be a part of a "I can't protect every stupid bastard" Oath or something.

Poolhopping might be a way around this, if it is indeed a thing.
