Awesomeness Summoned

You make a pretty compelling argument vikorr and I'd probably be inclined to agree with you if not for wyndle directly contradicting the idea after lift used him to climb the wall. He doesn't seem to think KR should have the ability to touch him implying the nahel bond does not pull them further into the cognitive realm

Just enclose the text in [ spoiler] and [ /spoiler] but without the spaces. I added those so it wouldn't actually make a box Edit: chaos beat me to it

It seems Lifts abilities are unique. Wyndle is even surprised by it so I doubt kaladin is moving into the cognitive. It's more likely Syl is getting a firmer base in the physical.

I would expect her affinity to going in person has to do with the transportation side of being an elsecaller. Hoid uses shadesmar to world hop so I would guess transportation on roshar uses a similar method

Not at all. I wouldn't have shared them otherwise. All who prove worthy are welcome to join our ranks.

Yeah, the tint looked fine in Photoshop but when I shrunk them to icon size, the tint ended up being just slightly darker than I intended. I'll probably go back and adjust that sometime.

Hey now, I'm not just some low rent trollop. It's gonna take a lot more than some friar's razor and a few assumptions to scrape anywhere near me. I expect some wild accusations and a few hair brained schemes as well.

Was that total coincidence that you chose Seran after I used the Seran river in my description? Its rather serendipitous perhaps?

These icons were all designed for free use so anybody can have a stylized profile icon to identify themselves. I'll be adding more on occasion so please check back if your personal style isn't represented yet. I'm also open to suggestions for future designs.

That's some serious brainstorming Shallan has going on their. Nice edits

I agree 100%. I've been thoroughly impressed with the fact that there are two threads right now with "gender roles" and "genocide" in the titles and they have remained extraordinarily civil. Tip of the hat to the 17th shard for a positive environment in which to exchange ideas.

To this point, though, we have also not seen any surgebinders wear shardplate at all in modern times. We don't know why the plate of KR in Dalinar's vision glows. Does it glow because a surgeninder is wearing it instead of a regular person? Does It glows because the nahel bond makes it glow or the spren itself makes it glow? Is shardplate created after the last ideal is spoken and the plate glows because it is attuned to a specific person? Would plate glow on Kaladin or would it interfere with abilities like it does for Szeth? There is quite a bit more lore we will need to discover about shards before we'd have a definite answer to that but its fun to speculate

I'd like a place on the crew You can call me Wes. I'm the best pickpocket this side of the Seran river. My fingers are so talented you'll be happy they were in your pockets... that is, if you knew they were there in the first place.

Yeah he did. I was hoping to join the next game but saw that message from Rubix and thought there wouldn't be anymore for a while.

Welcome! it's always nice to have royalty join our ranks. You could always read some of Sanderson's short fiction on his website HERE for free while you wait for your sister to get a move on.

The only thing i can think that would make this a reasonable depiction is if Szeth just got finished lashing them all so they crashed into each other and were crushed under the weight. Then Szeth slammed down on top and finished off any of the survivors.

I'm stoked to see Shallan trained with the sword and fighting. It might not really happen in WoR but when it does I think the combination of soulcasting, illusions, and a shard blade will make her quite a force to be reckoned with. Especially since I foresee her being an exceptionally skilled soul caster and illusionist due to her photographic memory and her need to understand how things work.

Something I was thinking of when when looking at those linking lines and recalling the suggested animosity between Honorspren and Cryptics, is that perhaps they partly represent how well the various orders work with each other. Each is connected with 2-3 other orders sharing one of their surges and then 1 connection to an order on the opposite side of the chart that shares none of their surges. In chapter 9 Syl's comment about Cryptics seems to backup Jasnah's claim that they don't get along very well and I can't imagine KR would perform at top notch if their spren don't get along with each other. That would mean (1-6), (2-7), (3,8), (4,9), and (5,10) shouldn't be paired up while the other line links indicate orders that perform really well together. Orders without links get along with each other fine but also don't particularly compliment each other. That would also imply 1,4,6, and 9 are the most versatile when working with others since they have 3 "beneficial" linking lines. Edit: Correction, 1,4,6, and 9 each have two links with related surges and two links with non related surges so that messes with my theory a bit. Maybe the vertical links (1-4) and (9-6) indicate no surge relation but that their spren still get along well and complement each other in battle. Would love to see Kaladin and Lift working together and how Wyndle and Syl relate.

"Id est" means "that is" and is the correct origin of i.e.. My high school and college Latin teachers stated as much and my quick perusal of various websites seems to agree. It appears your teacher was incorrect.

Think that was supposed to say keep the thread clean. People check this thread for new content. Posting in here makes people think new material might have been posted and are sad to see it's just a comment on material they've already read. At least I think that's the gist of what crys was sayingEdit: guess I wasn't at the end of the thread to see others had already replied

Yeah, I'd forgotten their blood was different so not likely the first one

Is it just me or could those last two death rattles Aleksial posted be humans after the last desolation regretting having to kill parshendi (dead brother) or debating weather to finish the genenocide (the baby)? Possibly my perspective being skewed by the thread topic
