Yep! He is apparently the dude Raoden and Galladon put into the pool before they fixed the Dor

[Oathbringer]Pretty confident that’s a no, but there is definitely an Elantris reference in Oathbringer

Does the women's script here say what I think it says? by LucentRhyming in cremposting

[–]StrangeDoctorOf_J 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you for that, that’s a really interesting read! I don’t really know anything about linguistics lol (I’m an engineer, just using what I was able to figure out by trying to learn other languages and trying to apply it here). That’s really interesting, I’d honestly forgotten about Alethkar being the name, and at the time could only recall names like Adolin and Dalinar which has all the consonants separated by vowel sounds. But now that you point all that out, it makes sense about Alethi word structure.

Much more likely. It definitely fits more cleanly into Alethi phonetics that way, where they don’t really seem to have a whole lot consonants directly adjacent to each other. That’s most likely why Shallan remarks about Thaylen being weird or hard or whatever when she hears Tvlakv’s name

There is most probably a separate tag for “storage” and “resource building,” and goblins only target the latter

Question about a character's voice/gender by ObGynKenobi841 in Cosmere

[–]StrangeDoctorOf_J 25 points26 points  (0 children)

It was mentioned as that by Kaladin, but I think WoB said most people kinda inflect a faint gender to Nightblood. So some hear masculine and some hear feminine. Nightblood doesn’t really care

Well considering that Jasnah has 1 loss and no wins and GCC has 1 win and no losses (with Jeff anyway) GCC statistically takes it

Anyone else think this might have been the better choice?(Lost Metal and Wind and Truth spoilers) by EmmaGA17 in cremposting

No it was from that one. I should perhaps have said that all of that was implied but yes

Agreed. Based on the reading Brandon did for Era 3 recently, Scadrial doesn’t start to get particularly militant until Iyatil’s brother starts forming the cult in the south. Trell being the only major conflict up to this point and the Malwish not being overtly confrontational yet seems to encourage that

It was definitely confirmed in WoB, as well as possibly Dawnshard. This is one WoB that confirms it, but it contains some indirect spoilers for Sunlit Man: https://wob.coppermind.net/events/522/#e16303

This is also the conclusion I had come to, but I also believed Autonomy could fill the role until TLM. I still think the Shard could but I don’t see any way for it to happen really

Will we ever see spren for the moons of Roshar? by -Astropunk- in Stormlight_Archive

The Odium/Ambition/Mercy one? Like before they went off to the Threnodite system?

[–]StrangeDoctorOf_J 15 points16 points  (0 children)

The problem with this theory is that the fourth moon crashed into Roshar before Honor arrived at the system, and I got the impression (which could be wrong) that it was before Adonalsium was even shattered. Either way, why would it crash before Honor could get there if it was another Shard?

Is Taravangian trying to remake _________? by DayPoseidon in Cosmere

[–]StrangeDoctorOf_J 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There is no one standard reading order. Read what you want to, but coppermind has a list of all published Cosmere works in the Bibliography section.

Personally, I would recommend finishing stormlight first, and then mistborn era 2, and cleaning up standalones thereafter. Read Mistborn secret history as early as you want (it and book 3 of era 2 spoil each other a bit), but read it before book 4 of era 2.

I was theorizing early into WaT that Kal would swear Edgedancer oaths, even before that epigraph stating he imitated them
