It might be remnants of a memory of having dragons around. Dragons exist on Yolen, the first human-populated world in the cosmere, and I remember that in fantasy, their blood is often called ichor. Yesteel and the Five Scholars would have been ~900 years before the events of SA, so I doubt he had anything to do with life on Roshar.

It's referred to a little subtly, but it's why Horneaters can eat, well, horns, and shells and such.

I'd love to see the evidence that leads to this theory.

Hoidsds flute and another question about Rayse {Spoilers?}

FYI, this post is from 2017... -
Maybe we should all stop necroing and make a proper new thread?

Gold and the like heal you to your Spiritual Ideal. Age is part of that Ideal, so when you stop tapping/burning, you go back to as close to that ideal as circumstances permit. Since your Ideal doesn't involve injuries, gold fixes those, and those stay fixed. But since age is part of that ideal, when you stop burning or tapping, you snap back to that Ideal, which in the Lord Ruler's case, was over 1000 years old.

Mmm delicious necros

For the longest time, I thought Teft's spren was the "aunt" that Syl saw, Phendorana. I still want that to be true.

Yes, Skyward is definitely not Cosmere. Skyward is in the same universe as the Defending Elysium short story, which is based on Earth. Any story with Earth in it is not going to be in the Cosmere, and Brandon has confirmed this a number of times. That being said, there was some chance that Skyward was going to be in the Cosmere originally, which might be where the similarity comes from. Or it could just be that Brandon likes that theme/idea. You'll like this one a lot, though.

Hey, fyi, this post is from 2016. If you have new thoughts, it's generally best to start a new thread rather than necro an old one. See the rules here:

They don't have a Nahel bond, so I don't think so.

Each forum only allows spoilers for that series. If a new book is released, then there's a specific spoiler forum for that book, and no spoilers are allowed outside that forum at all for 9 months (for major works, 6 months for smaller ones). Since there hasn't been a Cosmere book out for more than 6 months, no threads require spoiler tags in the title. If you've read Mistborn Era 2 and Secret History, then you're safe looking through the Mistborn forum. Any of the non-book forums do not allow book spoilers at all (except maybe the Signing/Events threads where people post questions and answers from Brandon) so any of them should be safe. Here is the full spoiler policy:

Lesser Spren gem shardblade interference theory
RShara replied to BiochromaticStormlight's topic in Stormlight Archive
I'm pretty sure the gemstone on the Blades does not imprison a spren. It was added originally as ornamentation, so they're likely just gemstones. Imprisoning spren in gemstones to get a result out of them is a relatively new development. Also, they didn't have the gemstones on the Blades until a long time after the Recreance, though. You would think, if it's mostly the gemstone interfering, that the generation immediately after the Knights would be the most likely to be able to heal the spren, since they would have the most knowledge of the Knights, and wouldn't yet have the gemstone. But clearly they didn't. -
No worries :)

FYI, this post is from 2017. Generally, if you have new thoughts on an old post, it's best to create a new post, rather than "necro" as we call it. We've gotten a lot of answers to the OP's questions since then. Ashyn was the planet that the humans came from, but they evacuated it a long time before the story Silence Divine that Brandon wants to write.

One Knight Radiant, multiple Knights Radiant. You would be a darkeyed Alethi, although there are darkeyes that are Alethi.

Oh. No, once you stop burning, the effect stops as well, just like with iron, steel, pewter, etc.

He can choose the rate at which he taps, yes. But he couldn't tap at all when the atiumminds were Pushed away from him. Burning the atium would give him 10x the youth while he was burning, but once he stopped, he would then return to his normal age, which was over 1000. So he had to either be burning all the time (at a rate that's only semi-controllable) or tapping all the time. More efficient to burn a whole bunch and store the excess, then tap as needed and desired.
-
When you store youth in atium and burn it, you get a giant flash of youthfulness out of it. Generally, you don't want that youthfulness all at once, so you store it in a second metalmind that you slowly tap. So he was tapping youthfulness all the time to keep himself from dying of old age. When Vin Pushed away his atiumminds, his age caught up with him and he died.

Fainlife is a different ecology from what we would consider normal. It takes over anywhere it gets a foothold, and is antithetical to our normal ways of life. Inedible, possibly poisonous, invasive, and threatening.

He calculated the risk and figured he could get away with it. Which obviously, he was right about.

Yup the Shin have most of them. Moash/Vyre has the Windrunner Blade now. Nale has his. Taln's is MIA.
