I agree that most of these are possible, for reasons already listed here. I thought of something else. This may not happen in the next book, but I think it'll probably happen eventually. So, Honor died, right? What happens if Cultivation dies too?

Wait- does that mean there will be an Alethi language? I thought it would all be all transliteration. Yay!!!!!

Remember that it's Adolin who is the duelist.

I really like this theory. Perhaps you could give us a visual? The surgebinding chart labeled with those attributes?

Welcome! I hope you have a great time here!

Oh, yes. Of course, if you lived in Hawaii, you could start reading it at 7!Here's some from another thread that I think deserve to be here too: And another good one from that thread: Edit for proper quotes.

Secrecy before forthrightness!I will watch those who do not know me. I will confuse those who do know me.

Dalinar and Eshonai each will get one in the first arc. The second is more tentative, but possibilities include Talenel, another herald, Jasnah, someone we haven't met yet, Taravangian... It's still uncertain.

Hoid is also known to be in possession of a bead of lerasium.

The Way of Kings is the first book in the Stormlight Archive, the second of which will be coming out on March 4th. It's set on Roshar, which is a separate world from any of Brandon's other works to date. It is a Cosmere novel, which means it is in the same universe as Elantris and Mistborn, as well as Warbreaker, which is available for free on his website. Be forewarned: the Way of Kings is also about 1000 pages long. It's really good, though, and I recommend it.

Your name is fine. Welcome to the 17th Shard!

My first thought was also Hoid for the second part. For the first... Without the second question, I would have taken it as a metaphorical lesson to Kaladin referring to a dull sphere after he's used it, or something along those lines. As it is, I like the idea that it refers to Adonalsium, though I don't remember anything about a stone in the book. Szeth is another possible candidate, but not one I like as much. However, I agree somewhat with HydrogenAlpha: This is very likely to be something very ordinary taken out of context. Oh well...

Oh. Ooops. I guess I missed that part.

Oooh! I like it! Now if only I could have that for real...

I do not live in Seattle. However, since I won't be going to a signing myself, I might as well just list ideas here. Dress in costume! Make a theme, maybe all characters from WoK. You could even find a short scene with all those characters in it and perform a little skit for Brandon! If not, at least dress similarly. That way you'll be able to tell who else is from 17th Shard. (Pick a dress code: maybe model it off the Bridge 4 uniforms. There are patches now, you know.) Alternatively, have everyone come representing a different world (all Cosmere, maybe?) Make some sort of gift for Brandon. Bake something (cookies! brownies! Put symbols on them it you want!), stitch him a book-themed pillowcase or blanket (the Aons are pretty easy symbols, though they're not the only ones), be creative! Bags are good things to decorate, too. Especially if they're the perfect size for WoR. Actually, you could just give one of those to all the Sharders (and Brandon and Peter too). Give him a little bracelet with the First Ideal on it. How about a laminated map of Roshar for his study? (Or maybe not laminated, so he can mark all over it). Though he probably has far better maps anyways. For goodness sakes, decorate a lampshade or doormat if you want! Someone has made a Soulcaster already; maybe you could make a few and give one to him. (Distribute the rest among the group). Mistborn cloaks are relatively easy to make, and they fit anyone. Assemble a little box of stuff- maybe a Soulcaster, a couple of cookies, a little thank-you-for-writing note, some other crafty things...Perhaps you could arrange to print out a fanart folio. Then carve/singe the box in some sort of pattern (maybe put Brandon's name or the Lightweaver glyph). Everyone contribute something! If anyone is musically inclined, they might put Shallan's lullaby to music and sing it for Brandon (maybe bring a ukulele? or something else small? ). If anyone plays a larger instrument that they can't really take, then you could get together and record the song first, then arrange with the manager/co-ordinator to play it on the intercom without telling Brandon first. It might be embarrassing if he didn't catch it, though... Maybe you could do something more specific to your area. For example, if it's being rainy there right now (here it's almost like summer), then give him a painted Sanderson themed umbrella. If you want to be a little less blatant, maybe you could have everyone write a note to him and put it on his car or at his table when he's not there. Don't forget to incorporate a little something for Peter, too. That's all I can think of for now. I'll add more if I remember something else. I hope you appreciate me spending half an hour just brainstorming this list. (Just kidding. It was fun.)

Thanks! Does anyone think that the last glyph looks like order 5?

Whose car is that? And I'm assuming that the shash glyph is on top in Kaladin's brands?

I like these! I'm working on one myself, but they're harder than you think.

Welcome! Thanks for joining! What made you finally decide?

You've read the other novels, right? Elantris and Warbreaker? What about the short stories? EDIT: I almost forgot the most important part: WELCOME!

began to change EDIT: I can't read.

Welcome! Have you read the short stories? And, how much do you know about the Cosmere (the underlying universe in many of Brandon's works)?
