Brandon Sanderson

The Stormfather said that the Everstorm wouldn't be as common as Highstorms. The Stormwardens say that the reason they can predict the storms is that they're rounding the planet in an endless cycle. That leads me to believe that there's only one Everstorm making the rounds, but there are multiple Highstorms.

Not sure if a Highstorm/Everstorm clash will be a major plot point in later books. We already got a pitched battle between two storms, where else is there to go from there?

The need to prepare a more vulnerable and/or populated setting for such a clash?

The presence of full-blown Voidbringers on the field? Going up against a number of surgebinders?

(Worth noting that there's a couple excerpts that seem to imply that Voidbringers are distinct from the Listeners, and not even in a subset sense).

From a Q&A 'Can a person who dies but somehow hasn’t passed Beyond the Three Realms (a la Kelsier) serve in place of a spren for Radiant purposes?'

'This is theoretically possible, but it would require an unusual sequence of events'

.....Kelsierspren. That idea is equal terms hilarious and terrifying.

And for more Nightmare Fuel

'Is Nightblood reducing the amount of Investiture in the cosmere?' 'Yes. At a very slow rate, but yes.‘

Actually i believe a KR of the Kelsier order could be rather similiar to a Stoneward. IIRC the Stonewards are about never giving up and always contiuning the fight, Kelsiers motto for his religion is surviving against all odds, which would fit the Stonewards rather well

I wonder what Roshar would look like from space. Just a bunch of vertical bands running vertically around the planet?

...shit. Can the Shards create extra Investiture? I would assume so, because otherwise any Shard who knows about Nightblood would nuke the thing from orbit. What Q&A was this from? I always hear about them long after there's a chance to ask anything.

Plus lots of murder. So maybe a fusion of a Dustbringer and a Stoneward.

I'd guess yes. It would bring an immediate answer to how many highstorms exist at any one time.

It was on reddit, but I saw a compilation on Tumblr.

Also, there is a set maximum of Investiture in the Cosmere. ...though I assume Nightbloods effects on that is...neglible so far. With emphasis on so far.

Do we actually have to spoiler about the second?

I read about that Wo B and while Nightblood reduces the amount of Investiture, it doesnt outright destroy it but releases it as "corrupted Investiture" which can´t be used by any shard. Effectivly thats the some thing but it could also mean it´s possible to uncorrupt the Investiture (for example by a reforged Adonalsium)

Courtesy of tumblr:

What do you call a fight between two Coinshots? A boxing match.

I've heard that one before somewhere....<.< >.>

I did say it came from tumblr.

I think Three was assuming it was a bit more recent. I mean, that's what I was doing.

Anyway, I got the Mistborn trilogy on Kindle today. Rereading for the first time in forever. Always fun to see all the little hints for things that show up later in the series, or even in Wax and Wayne or Secret History.

The context is that it's 3's tumblr I got the joke from.

Do feel free to share examples of what you're talking about. Saves me the trouble of rereading myself.

Doing the same atm.

I especially noted how in Sazed's pitch of Trellagism to Vin, he explains that Trells opposite is his brother Nalt. From the people who worshipped him, Nalt was the sun but also described as a Cyclops and being jealous of Trell makes himself very shiny and bright.

Now, which Shardworld with a Color based magic and only one Shard do we know...?

Also, it puts the Trelagism's tendency to map Stars a bit into creepy context given that it can be interpreted as Them making star maps for Odium?

It could just be a naming coincidence. It happens, even with Brandon. After all, so far there has not been a connection between Ati, aka Ruin, and Ati, the Aon in Elantris that means 'hope'.

Though given that Ruin and Preservation created the humans on Scadrial, Ati and Leras must have come from somewhere else. Ati could very easily be an Elantrian.

Word of God says all Shardbearers hail from Yolen like Hoid. Its also where Humanity has its origin.

Um, weren't the original sixteen Shardholders from Yolen?

'd.

Ah. I just wasn't sure if these two were the original holders.

Could be that the Aonic language came from Yolen, and Ati was named "hope" by his parents.

Or it could just be a coincidence. It's only two syllables, after all.

Do we know if any of the current Shardholders other than Harmony are not from the original 16?

To our knowledge, Ati killed one, Vin killed Ati, and anyone else dead, Odium killed and splintered to make their full Shard power inaccessible.

I think the only ones Odium's ganked thus far are the two on Sel whose names I can never remember and Tanavast. It's very interesting that he's currently making moves against Scadrial, though, assuming that's him; the correspondence between Hoid and Frost implied that they think he's still wholly restricted to the Roshar system, though obviously Hoid doesn't think that's going to last.

There is a Wo B that there is another splintered Shard we haven´t heard about yet (i dont remember if it was said that he/she was kiled by Odium)
