I like lopen as the drummer in kaladin's band, it would be like Def Leppard

Correct me if I'm wrong. But isn't Gavilar's shardblade used in duels by people who borrow the king's blades?

I agree that Amaram was a suitor or proposed suitor for Jasnah and nothing more from the Jasnah POV. However her reaction to the idea of being something more with him may lend credence to the belief that she is gay. Saying that there could be nothing more between them, indicates that she finds something about herself or him that are incompatable. If its something about herself, I propose that could mean she is gay. Also, do we know that the person she cared for deeply who tried to convince her of vorinism was an ardent? I feel like Jasnah came by her athiesm the "honest" way. I feel like she logically arrived at her conclusion of athiesm rather than out of distaste for religion which she then later justified with logic. Growing up, some of her teachers could have been ardents or devout vorinists. Perhaps a father/mother like figure was among them that could account for the "he" who she cared about. I think it unlikely that this person betrayed her trust(based on her seemingly fond memories..."care"), but the loss of such a person could have been devestating to her.

I know at one point in WoR Adolin loses the thrill that he and dalinar used to get in battle. He remarks during one of his fights that he no longer feels the thrill. I think this is a foreshadowing of something to come for Adolin as well. Dustbringer or stonewarden would be my guess. Stonewarden makes sense too because hes very inclined to the soldier in him. Also, skybreaker doesnt make sense, because when he had himself locked up with kaladin, he said he did it because it didn't feel right. Skybreakers are not likely to concern themselves with what feels right and there conscience.

Even so, I think a storm more likely then a drain. There would have to be a whole lot of pressure difference in the drain to create a vortex large enough to rotate a whole continents worth of sediment.

There hasnt been a darkeyed person who claimed a shardblase in recent years according to kaladin and adolin when wondering if moash will get light eyes. They gave a figure which I dont know but it definately predates gavilar

I think the amount of crem/erosion can be seen in WoR to be rather small. Based on the couple times crem was cut through with a shardblade to reveal stormseat buildings in such, we can see that it can't be a very deep layer of crem and stormseat was last occupied a long time ago. the amount of difference between the two maps over 4000 years may not be unreasonable. Also islands that are no longer present could have been lost for other reasons than tectonics/erosion as they could be living greatshells. They probably just swam away. I feel like the geography only changes dramatically during a desolation. Which the last one happened a long time ago. Perhaps during the last desolation...A giant storm raged creating the current landscape. Also, lets talk about the coriolis effect. storms in the southern hemisphere rotate counter clockwise I think which is similar to the way roshar continent appears to be rotating. If you were to drain an ocean or the result of a major flooding, would it drain clockwise in the southern hemisphere. If roshar's continent is made of deposits, i think it more likely storm deposits then drain deposits. Also... they mention the horneaters holy waters are a hotspring. I am not a geologist but I thought hot springs were created by the water being heated by magma under the ground which brings us to the same dilemna of no tectonic movements.

Map is basically a hurricane symbol from the weather channel. Perhaps created by two high storms colliding. In the center, at urithiru. Also, the fact that in shadesmar has the sea where the land is in the physical realm jives with the fact that shallan always seems to sink when entering shadesmar over land but not on the ship out at sea. The colored map appears to be on a concave canvas, like its rolled up on the inside of a pipe based on the patterns on the side.

Does A gravity lashing actually alter gravity? If so would a feruchemist who made himself heavier to try to resist being pulled to the ceiling by lashings actually just make himself "fall" to the ceiling faster?
