Sorry, Brandon isn't really interested in that happening.

What if I'm a left handed woman on Roshar
RShara replied to Shallan&Pattern's question in Cosmere Q&A
That's one of the inspirations for the idea, yeah. The superstition that the left hand was bad luck was (and still is) pretty common. -
Sorry that I didn't add any commentary to it. Been sick and wasn't up to it. But basically, it sounds like each kingdom did have some specialization, but it wasn't formal or organized.

I...think I'll just agree to disagree at this point

I'm sorry, I have no idea what you're trying to say? When spren take full Physical form, they become Shardblades, willingly or no. Shardblades are indestructible. If, somehow, they took a different physical form, they should still be made of the same metal, which is indestructible. So a normal sword shouldn't be able to cut it at all.

What Jasnah is saying is that she accepts the fact that there are immensely powerful beings in the universe. However, she doesn't accept them as God, capital G, as in the alpha and omega, the end and the beginning, I am that I am, type of God. One that's worthy of worship.

*shoots Cal with a pie gun* I regret NOOOTTTHINNNGGG!

That still doesn't solve the problem of how a regular sword could break the Davar soulcaster.

Question about Shardblades and Nahel Bond
RShara replied to Nick_TheGreek_Koro's question in Cosmere Q&A
Yes, whether it's a "dead" Blade or a live spren Blade. However, with spren, you're going to have to do some fast talking to convince multiples to bond to you, plus holding true to two different sets of Oaths. So theoretically possible, but practically, very unlikely. You see Amaram with multiple dead Blades in OB. -
Additionally, if it were a dead spren, it should be made of the same material as a Shardblade, yes? But a regular sword was able to break the Davar soulcaster.
-
I feel like this is another instance of trying to find an event that fits a conclusion, rather than a conclusion that fits the events, again.
-
No, the reason he might have been bound to Roshar was because he bonded the Cryptic, which is bound to Roshar. We have no evidence that Hoid has died and become a Cognitive Shadow. However, given that SH spoilers I find it very unlikely.
-
Wait, Hoid isn't a Cognitive Shadow. Or am I misreading?
-
You put it better than I was going to

"How can I be as amazing as you are?"
-
That can be explained by the fact that the Fused contain Odium's investiture. He wouldn't want to leave the Rosharan system without gathering that up, and the Fused being bound to Braize could make it more difficult for him to reclaim that.

Consulting != seeking approval. A good ruler will always consult with their adviser before making a big decision, and then make the one that seems best.
-
From the descriptions we have, they are just the gems, the settings for the gems, and the chains to connect everything.
-
Well, oops
-
I don't remember her needing to get anyone's approval, other than the traditional ratification by the king. And remember that Jasnah was named Queen.
-
We don't actually know that, but it's likely. We've seen Progression ones and Transformation ones, so far.
-
We see in several instances that the gems in fabrial soulcasters are interchangable, so I don't see how a trapped spren being involved would be possible. From the Kaza interlude, and how she felt a helping had create the change that she wanted, I suspect it's more like the Oathgate spren--there're specific spren associated with the fabrial, the soulcaster gains their attention, and it facilitates the soulcasting.
-
This is an awesome summary of events. I love it! FYI, Honor definitely died *after* the Recreance, since he witnessed it and put it in his visions.
-
My opinion is that the front 5 will involve uniting Roshar and solving the problems of the Fused, the singers and the squabbling nations, then the back five will involve more direct confrontations with Odium.
