Hemalurgic Headshot he/him Posted March 5, 2017 Posted March 5, 2017 (edited) This is perhaps a joke theory. However, it might not. So first: EARTH IS COSMERE. But no, you say, Brandon says over and over again that Earth isn't Cosmere. Ah, but Earth isn't. What? Because Earth is no longer Earth.... It is Shinovar. Let me take you back. So Adonalsium "grows worlds". That is what He did with Roshar. But what is growing? It is building up. You see, Adonalsium built upon Earth to make Roshar. This is why most of Roshar looks nothing like Earth, cremlings, chasmfiends, crem, highstorms. All of that was added. But what part of Roshar looks nothing like the rest? Shinovar. Shinovar has chickens, dirt, strawberries, horses, people without the common epicanthic fold that is shared among most Rosharans. Now don't call me racist for counting that the Shin don't have epicanthic folds as evidence for Earth. But don't you see the similarities here? Shinovar is Earth. Shinovar is Cosmere. Thus, Earth is Cosmere. *mind blown* Edited March 5, 2017 by Hemalurgic_Headshot 2
Weltall Posted March 5, 2017 Posted March 5, 2017 As joke theories go, I give this one four Hoids out of five. As an actual mind-blowing theory though... well, Roshar is said to be '0.9 Cosmere Standard' in size and 0.7 in gravity, with Yolen as the baseline and Scadrial is its equal in that respect and noted to be the Earth analogue. So Adonalsium added 'stuff' to Roshar but this somehow made it smaller than Earth and reduced its gravitational pull? Clearly, Adonalsium works in mysterious ways. Must be one of the perks of being God.
+Extesian he/him Posted March 5, 2017 Posted March 5, 2017 Ha. Rad Just one possibly pesky WoB Quote RURO272 Is Roshar, or has Roshar always been the only large landmass on the planet? BRANDON SANDERSON Roshar is.... (Brandon then pauses and looks up, thinking very hard) Roshar has always been the largest landmass--as long as there has been land. (This statement was met with a LOT of OOOOHS, and Brandon had a definite grin on his face). So unless the suggestion is an alternate reality where this happened to Pangaea, the Super-continent in earth's history, there may be a problem. Oh also that Brandon has said the Cosmere is in a dwarf galaxy. But I like it anyway.

I'm glad you enjoyed this theory of mine. 1
