  1. I guess it's fair to say that if you have more secret societies than you have main characters ("Heroes") your country/planet is in deep chull guano. Edit: Can you call the remaining Heralds a secret society ? I'm not sure .. how many people do you need to be accepted as secret society and where do you have to make an appointment ? Do you get a certificate or something ?
  2. Well, Sigzil seemed very troubled and had to excuse himself .. so he recognised Hoid - his old master ?
  3. If you take a look at - for example - this: AhbuttheywereleftbehindItisobviousfromthenatureofthebondButwherewherewhereSetoffObviousRealizationlikeapricity TheyarewiththeShinWemustfindoneCanwemaketouseaTruthlessCanwecraftaweapon - From the Diagram, Floorboard 17: paragraph 2, every second letter starting with the first There a obviously not spaces, periods, and other punctuation marks in those sentences, but there are capital letters. I imagine that the code has to have those capital letters, too. Maybe the frequently occuring 111's indicate a capital Letter.
  4. Thought the same thing. Windrunners have the gravity surge, right ? Why not just squish enemies to delicious jam ?
  5. Not that I don't like it, but it's pretty hard to ship people if they can't touch each other.
  6. It's basicly like Brandon gave a psychopath a nuclear bomb.
  7. There will be casualties .. huge casualties. Vasher was nearly not able to control the sword and he KNEW that it was twisted and wasn't able to differ between good and evil. This sword is only able to see black and white and i'm not even sure if it's able to see white, because in Warbreaker it just couldn't understand why people ran from it. Szeth is pretty spineless and I don't think he will be able to stop himself or the sword if he draws it. I guess he will murder even more people that he had before. Poor guy, amazing sword. Edit: When Vasher unsheated Nightblood he was barely able to contain himself .. could this be similar to the Thrill ?
  8. I wonder how Hoid is able to look different in some of the books. There are some mayor differences that can't be explained by make up or something like this and as far as I got from Liar of Partinel you can't touch Lightweavings. Is he able to change his body or are those Hoids not always the same Hoid ? You can feruchemically store Identity in Aluminium..
  9. Plus he can alter his body by will. I guess he could make himself look older.
  10. As far as I remember there was something odd about the sea of T'Telir, but i don't remember what it was. Maybe it was shallow ? I wish I had the ebook so that i could check. Edit: Vasher is born in Halladren as far as I know. It was never stated in the book, but you can deduce. He was named by the cult of the returned - native to Halladren.
  11. I always thought he was "just" a Herald, but it makes sense now that you say it !
  12. Big thumbs up to every one of you trying to solve this code ! I could never come up with something like this. Just a idea but maybe 111 indicates a capital letter ?
  13. In Rock's tale he comes out of lake that is said to be poisonous to non-Unkalakis, so he's got to have some sort of power that enhances his healt/body or whatever. Maybe he's burning pewter or something along those lines.
  14. Could you explain this further, please ? I never noticed anything like this.
  15. About Nightblood .. In TWoK we saw Hoid walking around with a metal-sheated sword ( as far as I remember ). Maybe in the time of his absence he lost his sword ( Nightblood ) to Nalan. It's obvious that a herald wouldn't replace his Honorblade with an awakened Sword, because he would lose his ability to surgebind. So why not give it to someone who can be manipulated .. creating a useful tool ?
  16. Currently re-reading

  17. We all read that Glimpse about the daughter of Herdaz's King .. i'm no longer able to live with this burden, I just have to throw it out : [spoiler] (She doesn't exist. The King of Herdaz has no daughter. It was all just a lie) [/spoiler] Edit: I give up .. i'm too dumb to create spoilerbrackets.
  18. It seems like Lopen has to find another love interest now that she's toast.
  19. We all know that something weird is happening to Roshar. Sprens are presumably living ideas. Mankind always projected some human attributes to natural phenomena and somehow on Roshar those images gain sentience and start showing up. Just on Roshar and nowhere else in the cosmere ( as far as we know ). There it seems so be easier for things to transist from the cognitive realm to the physical. I for myself think that either humanity creates stormlight themselves with their believes and all and it leaks through the realms every highstorm, because maybe the fabric between the realms is pretty weak then , or it's like Atium the "body" of a god leaking through.
  20. Well, in about one day you'll learn more about the magic systems of Roshar and whether there are really just 3 kinds. The Ars Arcanum of WoR has some vague hints in it.
  21. The WoR hardcover has 1081 pages without Ars Arcanum and it took me about 14 hours to get through it .. thats around 1,3 pages per minute. Wow, i never did the math before.. seems like I was in a big hurry to get to the end.
  22. I doubt that Brandon would kill off such a unlikeable character "off-screen". I think we'll see more of him in the future.
  23. How could Jasnah fall for Kaladin when we all know that she will end up with Lopen ?
  24. Maybe not that, but I am way more attached to Brandon's characters than to the ones in ASoIaF. I never quite liked Catelyn and Robb anyway.
