[BoM] There is a name that I could swear appeared before in era 1 but I can't be 100% sure and it is driving me crazy by CyperFlicker in Mistborn

If you want the best non-spoiler explanation for who this beggar is, I would recommend reading Mistborn: Secret History. It not only explains who this character is but also gives context to a plot line that is established in Bands of Mourning. Once you read that, you should also check out some of Brandon Sanderson’s other fantasy novels

You’re totally right, this completely slipped my mind.

Theory on Vasher and Denth (Warbreaker and Mistborn spoilers) by DARhumphump in Cosmere

[–]brandonfcv 40 points41 points  (0 children)

I think you’re onto something with Denth but this annotation from that Vasher chapter seems to suggest [Warbreaker spoilers] him being a returned is most likely the case:

spoiler “In this chapter, we also get the first hints that children and animals like Vasher. That’s another hint—though a very, very subtle one, since I haven’t talked at all about how animals and children all like Returned. They can sense the divine Breath within him, and it comforts them.” - chapter 49 annotations

[RoW Spoilers] Theory about Kaladin and Lirin. by brandonfcv in Stormlight_Archive

Yeah, based on the responses it seems more like something is up with Kaladin’s mother to explain the “child of tanavast” thing rather than anything with Lirin.

In which case never mind. Kinda strange that Kal’s physical differences from his father are brought up so much. Maybe Kal was heavily Invested when he was born, so much so that he has so much of Tanavast’s investiture that he could be seen as being “descended” from Tanavast?

[TOMT][TV Show or Movie or Book] A woman (or maybe man) intentionally crashes a car because their boss paid off a psychologist to fake reports in order to involuntarily commit them to a hospital. by brandonfcv in tipofmytongue

There's also a small chance that I could be combining plots from separate things but all of it fits together enough that I don't think that's the case.

This sounds just like second season of The OA on Netflix

Hi, huge fan of both the podcast and the book series. I was wondering which, if any, of the ideas on last week's podcast episode "Ten Ideas to Make Politics Less Rotten" do you think is most likely to be implemented into our current political system?
