    The Oathpact was between Honor and the Heralds and binds the Fused to Braize. You're thinking of how the powers of Honor and Cultivation bind Odium to the Rosharan system.

    Slivers of Honor

    Ooops. Brain/finger disconnect haha.

    Slivers of Honor

    RShara replied to PiedPiper's question in Cosmere Q&A

    The Oathpact isn't a Sliver or a Splinter, it's an agreement between Honor and the Heralds. The Honorblades are Splinters, and the Heralds are likely held in their bodies by Splinter. I don't know that we can call them Slivers themselves, though.

    We don't actually know which of the three were bonded at the time of the Recreance. It probably was not the Sibling, because the Sibling was already withdrawing by then, but there's no confirmation on whether it was the Stormfather or the Nightwatcher. I do think it was the Stormfather, and that Tanavast sacrificed himself (since he was dying anyway) in order for his Cognitive Shadow to merge with the Stormfather and keep him from dying.

    Honestly, I doubt it. He really didn't seem all that knowledgeable about much.

    Well the Rosharans at the time of the flashback didn't actually use Investiture at all (except for secretive, isolated incidents/groups). So they wouldn't know anything about the properties of aluminum. It's only use is as a precious and rare metal.

    Birds and worms

    RShara replied to Honorless's question in Cosmere Q&A

    No because they haven't evolved the right biochemistry to form the right bond with the parasite.

    I really don't think that Truthwatchers in general could see the future. Given Shallan's access to Illumination and the fact that she saw Shalash destroying a statue of herself and saw Yalb and the crew making it to shore, I'm pretty sure normal Truthwatchers can see the present, and perhaps the past. Basically scrying or clairvoyance.

    Welcome to the Shard! It is perhaps not necessary to paste the entire coppermind article into your post. Instead, link it or reference it (i.e. Look up the Coppermind article on the Knight Radiant Ordres). The formatting gets weird, and really, we can all go look ourselves Which Order is most useful depends on what you want to use them for, imo. Combat? Windrunners, Stonewards, Dustbringers, perhaps. Maybe Lightweavers. Knowledge, artistic ability, visionary? Lightweavers and Elsecallers. Leadership abilities? Windrunners and Bondsmiths. Edgedancers and Truthwatchers are great medics and Edgedancers can feed armies. Etc etc.

    Yep, so Tanavast is definitely dead. He's not around, not interfering, not hiding. And his CS is merged and subsumed into the Stormfather.
  11. RShara
    A Cognitive Shadow is the leftover mind/soul of a sapient being that has had enough investiture infused into it to persist after physical death. It doesn't need other people's recognition to persist, just investiture. Honor can't die. The Shard can be Splintered, but the power is still around, just dispersed. Tanavast, the person, is the one that died, and left a Cognitive Shadow.
  12. RShara
    Tanavast is dead, because you have to have died to become a Cognitive Shadow.

    He has healing abilities at least equivalent to a Radiant with Stormlight, so he could heal any Shardblade cut. But he's not remotely close to Shardic levels of power. I think he mentions how Odium could wipe him out if Odium found him. This is everything we know about Hoid. https://coppermind.net/wiki/Hoid

    I practically have it as a macro

    You missed the, "Darn it" part "Odium is not Passion, darn it!"
  16. RShara
    According to Brandon, he wouldn't consider it Hemalurgy.
  17. RShara
    I'd want to hear the exact quote, because I'm not familiar with Brandon ever saying that. However, yes, a full Shard has enormous amounts of power. For all intents and purposes, the power is infinite. Creating a planet would take just a small amount of their power.

    What I'm thinking is that the Stormfather isn't in the same "place" in every storm. Highstorms stretch for hundreds of miles, and only one "area" at a time has the perpendicularity. That's why it's unpredictable. But the perp eventually is at every point, so spheres are always recharged no matter where they are. That's why it's unpredictable and dangerous. If it always opened at the same time/place during every storm, it'd be more predictable. So when the guys were in Shadesmar, the highstorm was passing over, but they weren't where the perp was at the time, and by the time it got to where they were, they had left.
  19. RShara
    Right, Dalinar opened it without needing to bring the storm. But usually, it's in the highstorm. Otherwise how do spheres get recharged during highstorms?
  20. RShara
    Pretty sure Honor's perpendicularity is the highstorm, and that's why it moves. The moment when Kaladin sees the Face and his spheres burst into light.
  21. RShara
    Brandon has confirmed that there are only 9 Unmade (or at least, for sure not ten). We see directly from Dalinar's visions that the MIdnight Mother was on Roshar between Desolations, making Midnight Essence. The bit that was captured in the gemstone, imo, is the piece of Jezrien's spiritweb that bound him to the Oathpact. Jezrien himself is dead and gone. I don't think that the investiture in there is going to grant such powerful abilities that you mentioned. It seems way too OP and a bit Deus Ex to me. Anyway, if Odium wanted to, he could certainly make his version of Honorblades any time he wanted. He wouldn't need anyone else to make them.
  22. RShara
    Hoid is/was human, though he's done so many things over the years now that he's not quite human any more.
  23. RShara
    We don't know that there are no spren in Shinovar. We didn't see any in the one Interlude we've had there, but spren aren't always around, and one datapoint isn't really enough for confirmation.
  24. RShara
    Because they weren't kandra, so they couldn't have formed muscles around the spike. It would have to have been driven through tissue.
  25. RShara
    The chimeras that attack Wax and TenSoon in SoS. They had spikes in them, of the same metal that Paalm used.
