  1. The latter. Look down at your chest. There should be a knife there in 3...2...1.
  2. I don't think attracting a spren called Fatal Error is a good sign for your future.
  3. Harumph. All you young hares, springing ahead by leaps and bounds in rep while wise old tortoises like Tempus and I plod along bravely, taking positions step by step, slowly, surely. For as prophecy dictates, it is He Who Is Slow and Steady that will find himself the Victor of the Race.
  4. Scadrians, at the very least, were created by Ruin and Preservation. While there likely was some immigration from Yolen, we have been given no WoB on the subject.Edit: @Aleksiel Well, it seems to be a fairly safe assumption that humans are non-native, so I won't bother to explain that part. That leaves the question of precisely where the Halls are. We know there are three planets in Greater Roshar home to sentient life: Braize, Ashyn, Roshar. Due to urgency, the refugees probably went to someplace close, so the Halls are very likely to be one of the two planets in the same system. Ashyn already has the Silence Divine on it, and Brandon wants the SA to stand on its own, so I doubt Ashyn is the one. Plus, Ashyn still has people on it, so the claims of being "driven from the Halls" wouldn't apply, and there doesn't seem to be anything about magical diseases in mythology anyways. That leaves Braize. Braize is a pretty strong candidate: for one, it is exactly like Odium to conquer someone's homeland and turn it into a living hell, then bring the people who escaped his wrath back to be tortured in the ruins of their own homes. And it meshes well with the myths of humanity fighting to reclaim their Halls, since the Rosharans have been fighting Odium, the conquerer of that planet, all along.
  5. But Nergaoul is affecting enormous numbers of people spread over half a continent. No matter how powerful he is, that power is spread pretty thin.
  6. I am aware of that quote. That doesn't say that Damnation and the Halls can't just be the same place at different time periods, however, and that is what I am proposing here.
  7. I myself am a very firm supporter of the idea that humans migrated from Braize, then called the Tranquelline Halls, and settled on Roshar much to the ire of the Parshendi whose land and spren they stole. However, your version is different from mine in one respect– I believe that Cultivation and Honor were on Braize too, and were pushed out by Odium onto Roshar. The Parshendi/native Rosharan wildlife seemed to have developed without H&C's influence, as the Parshendi per WoB are of none of the three Shards. Roshar was probably actually of Adonalsium, since we know he was on Roshar and left some of his power there as Adonspren. And since Kal is a "child of Honor" according to the Stormfather (not exact wording), humanity probably was created by H&C.
  8. In the past, there were apparently hundreds of forms. I could certainly agree with ten Voidforms, but I very much doubt there's any symmetry with the normal forms.
  9. Here's those unknowns filled in.Threnody_______________N/A_______________SfSitFoH First of the Sun_______________N/A_______________Sixth of the Dusk Neither Threnody nor First of the Sun are any of the ten core Shardworlds, so they have no Shard. Also, we have a few more rows to add to your list. Empty Space_______________Unnamed Shard_______________Unknown Unknown_______________Unnamed Shard that just wants to survive_______________Unknown Now, that last one, the Shard that just wants to survive, may or may not be one of the unknown shards in one of the other rows.
  10. 1) Again, you don't need a functional digestive system to burn metals. It just has to be in your body.2) Kandra can burn metals.
  11. Or maybe the Soothers/Rioters just aren't normally strong enough to break through.
  12. Mistborn don't really digest it however. They just put it in their stomachs and let the magic do its thing. As long as the Lifeless still has a stomach, it should be fine (and maybe even if it doesn't, since Inquisitors can burn their own headspikes).
  13. With all the gold you'd be buying all the time, you'd be in considerable debt instead of rich.
  14. Avoid light alleys, too. If he stores enough Identity, you won't even notice him.
  15. I believe that WoB mentioned something about how you'd create a "Drab god", which would be hilarious. No specification on what a Drab god is, however.
  16. I prefer a variant on Shallan's Ideal. "I murdered my teacher." ... I mean, what? What are we talking about here? Why are you all looking at me like that?
  17. I think you can guess if I approve.
  18. I agree that this is very likely. We know that the Rithmatist was originally a Cosmere novel, and the concept of spren-like beings, living ideas that can be bound to, is a recurring element in magic systems (Spren, Seons, Skaze, Awakened objects).
  19. Give them steelpushing, and they can fly, too. ... Now have fun trying to sleep tonight, knowing that hovering just outside your window could be a ravenous, insane, spike-covered Sharkquisitor.
  20. I believe the shard that just wants to survive and the shard in space are entirely different. I think the question asked was something like "Tell us about a shard you haven't told us about before", or something similar.
  21. Well, there does seem to be some magical interactions there. If there's a decent sized Splinter behind it, then perhaps it could have a Splinterpuddle of some sort.
  22. Your airbag may be Shardplate, but your body isn't. I think a collision would not end well.
  23. Uh, why?Anyways, I rather agree with Awesomeness here. I've been suspicious of Bartbug since the beginning, with how aggressively he's attacked people who disagree with his plan, which had considerable potential for Ruining us all. So, Barty .
  24. I think you can push on different parts of an object. Isn't that how Kelsier did his windmill trick during the TLR fight? (I could be wrong, though, since I haven't reread Mistborn in forever). But there would be only one giant blue line. As for Feruchemy, Swimmingly does have a point on the traction. You'd need some kind of strange shoe to run, where most of it is treads for grip and a bit is exposed to the ground. Of course, you'd only be able to tap intermittently as you push off the ground, which might look very strange.
