Well, and also this was when Teft was 6, so a good 20-30 years before Gavilar started having visions and forming the Sons of Honor?

Looks like they were wanting to return the Knights, yeah, but the Heralds aren't mentioned.

This is from one of our local gemshows that I was at last year. And the opals I bought The opals I *wanted* to buy

They're at Rapa River. They sell a bunch of things, a lot of gemstone skulls. I remember some dragon skulls that were amazingly carved.

My friend has a booth there every year!

I doubt there's a connection. The Envisagers thought that if they put their lives in danger, they would suddenly manifest Radiance. The Sons of Honor want to bring a Desolation so the Heralds will return and revive the faith of the people.

I liked the Scadrial sized round better too. Can we get the answers to each puzzle? I think I'd like it if there were like a 5pt bonus for being the first team to solve a puzzle, rather than having the winner be the first team to have all the puzzles solved, then solve the meta first.

Here's a really nice long thread and debate on it

Logically, given Vivenna's actions in OB, it appears she's after Nightblood and Vasher, but Nightblood is her priority. She knows for a fact that Kaladin and Adolin and even Shallan have seen Vasher and spent enough time with him to learn his katas. But she doesn't interrogate them at all. However, she abandons them right away when she's given word of a sword that bleeds black smoke in the Honorspren city. She also warns Kaladin and Adolin to let Vasher know that she is coming for him. So Nightblood first, then Vasher. Ironically, if she had gone with the gang, she would have found both pretty quickly...

Then that implies they do have a method of transferring stormlight from gem to gem. They could also have multiple sets of paired gemstones for each spanreed, and as long as the current set of gems matches, the spanreed should still work.

I'm not sure I understand? Why does complicate things? They leave the fabrial in the highstorm to recharge. Or they have multiple gems with spren trapped and switch out the stones. If they switch out the stones, they probably have specialized housing for the gems so that they're easy to remove and replace. Or they do have a method of infusing gems, like osmosis.

Well since the only people who can really afford to use most of those fabrials are nobility and rich people, I'm sure they have guarded places for it.

This worries me somewhat because of the following observation. Nightblood consumes Breath (and other Investiture, but let's limit ourselves to Breath for a second). Every person on Nalthis is born with one Breath. Populations tend to grow. Which means that under normal rules of demographics, population of Nalthis should keep increasing. This in turn means that under normal circumstances the number of people with Breath on Nalthis should be growing. I can see the following possible explanations to this: Endowment can give Breath to many more people than are currently living on Nalthis. So, the exponential population growth has not yet reached the level at which Endowment's ability to award a Breath to each Nalthis-born human is seriously challenged. When it happens though, things will not go well. There is some built-in mechanism controlling population growth on Nalthis, making certain that the population stays within the limits. Nightblood's consumption of Breath makes these limits smaller, and overall may lead to Endowment's inability to grant Breath to Nalthis-born, but not for a while (essentially, Endowment controls population trends at she sees fit). Thoughts? Brandon Sanderson Just as a point you should understand, the amount of MATTER in the cosmere is finite too. As is the amount of energy. Worrying that Endowment will run out of Breaths to give is a little like worrying that the amount of carbon on Earth will run out because people keep being born. uchoo786 So just for clarification, once Nightblood consumes investiture, that investiture gets recycled? That's what I've always assumed. That it enters the cognitive/spiritual realm? Brandon Sanderson The investiture he consumes is not gone forever--it's not leaving the system, so to speak.

Or just leave the fabrial out in a highstorm to recharge.

Yeah, Taln would predate Eastern Street Cant by many thousands of years.

My speculation is that he lost someone he loved, and wants to bring that person back from the Beyond. And he was for the Shattering because he thought it would change the rules enough to make that possible.

Once they've gone Beyond, he can't bring them back. If he's able to heal their body before their mind/soul departs, then yes, he could.

Not if you want people to notice, and then use your supposed leak.

I didn't say scare people. I said freak 'em out. Unnerve them. A lot of people were noticing the odd things people said while dying and getting disturbed by them. It's mentioned in WoK.

I think Moelach can have many uses. 1. Freak people out 2. For people who are paying attention, he seems to be telling the future. 3. For people who are really paying attention, that seems to be an odd thing for your enemy to be giving you. 4. For the people who are utterly paranoid, that means that the Death Rattles are predicting a specific future that the enemy wants you to believe in, or wants you to think would be desirable.

As Nathrangking said, Moelach causes the Death Rattles. He seems to grant them a glimpse into the Spiritual Realm, which is time-independent, and forces them to speak (though apparently this can be resisted). Nergaoul causes the Thrill by removing the inhibitions that normally people have, reducing them to barbarian bloodlust.

No worries. Anyway, That's probably why it's Honor even in the UK bindings.

The 17th Shard is an independent group that appears to want to stop Hoid from interfering with things. As far as we know, they aren't an actual Shard.

The skaa are pretty much all forgotten, neglected, ignored, trampled down, etc.

He doesn't really lie to himself, though. I'd call him an Edgedancer for remembering the forgotten, or a Dustbringer, for liking to break things.
