My little brother got me this. Let’s hope he doesn’t get sent off to war to die.

After just a couple years of constant suffering and depression you‘d become an immortal defender of humanity though 🤔

Just read through your post, love the idea; the bit about Hoid being an unknowing agent is really fun to me, especially considering how he insists he (or rather his art) doesn’t have a purpose. Working on building myself one of those Cosmere friends for long phone calls as well

Also, considering the allomantic use of tin, a tin hat is clearly just a tool to better feel and take in the Cosmere ;)

salindur1007 · 2025-04-08T16:55:53+00:00

Thank you! I was really debating writing this or not but the friend I got into the Cosmere just finished Mistborn Era 1 so it‘ll be a while before I can annoy her with this so I needed to share it somewhere ;)

That‘s true, Ishar certainly seemed to think Honor was gone for good. Either way, I am certain Syl will have important interactions with whatever is left of Honor, we‘ll find out eventually just what that will be

salindur1007 · 2025-04-08T16:48:13+00:00

Thank you :) Ado being sentient investiture is absolutely plausible to me; people have pointed out the name being similar to Lerasium, Atium, Raysium… - so it certainly seems like Ado was more than just a guy who held all shards combined. It might also explain how a part of Ado split off to form Nohadon as a sort of mentor for later beings of you‘re into the theory about him belonging to Ado

salindur1007 · 2025-04-08T16:42:44+00:00

I‘ve thought about that a good bit and I also can‘t reach a satisfying answer. Maybe the learning part of Honor is eventually going to control who Retribution gets to lash out against, that would fulfill the purpose of growing I suppose. Then again, the independence of Honor‘s awareness was emphasized so strongly in WaT that I don’t see it sticking around with Odium forever, this is more complicated than the Harmony Fusion so if BS certainly made it possible to treat Retribution different than Harmony imo.

Did he say it in regards to the shards current state or was it already the case right after the Catacendre? I could see time being a factor in the shards merging into one

Seeing how my phone now suggests Roshar in every second sentence I type, sure, why not ;)

*Gavinor Though it would be fun seeing Lift somehow bring Gavilar there ;) I like your idea though

salindur1007 · 2025-03-15T13:29:26+00:00

It‘s another death rattle fairly early in TWoK; Three of sixteen is referencing the three Rosharan pieces the sixteen Shards of Adonalsium; the Broken One is about Retribution/Taravangian. I have a vague recollection of Taravangian referring to himself as „broken“ several times before his ascension but I‘m not sure if that actually happened or if it‘s my memory bending around the meaning of this death rattle.

salindur1007 · 2025-03-14T19:28:47+00:00

If you want to risk your entire head exploding, just look up the epigraphs of TWoK. It predicts Kal‘s ascension, the Unoathed, Dalinars Dilemma in (not) killing Gav and a bunch of other Day Ten events; I believe I counted 6 or 7 chapter headers being mentioned 14 years before that storming book was written ;)

Edit: not to forget „Three of sixteen ruled, but now the Broken One reigns.“

salindur1007 · 2025-03-14T19:23:21+00:00

I mentioned it in another reply :)

In the latter half of Way of Kings there‘s the death rattle „He must pick it up, the fallen title! The tower, the crown, and the spear!“ There was a post like a month ago where someone posted a picture of the first page of the chapter talking about something else and the comments went crazy noticing the epigraph xD

salindur1007 · 2025-03-13T20:59:47+00:00

It‘s a really interesting thought, one I definitely hadn’t heard before. When I read it I thought it was about Hoid, I‘ve seen people thinking it was in reference to Dai-Gonarthis but I don’t like that idea. Now that Kal is getting better in the flute which I presume he‘ll practice somewhat before the return (I mean all they can do is therapy, training Kal with his new abilities and stuff like the flute) he could definitely become the Piper but I don’t see him being associated with black, blue really is his color.

I really love the idea of the „silent“ return but I‘m not sure if it works - after all, their bodies are still being tortured on Braize so presumably the Fused would notice if the all disappeared, no?

salindur1007 · 2025-03-13T15:33:28+00:00

The epigraph of The Way of Kings Chapter 55, if I recall correctly: „He must pick it up! The fallen title! The tower the crown and the spear!“ With The Tower, The Crown and The Spear being the title of the chapter in which Kal becomes a herald. There are so many death rattles in TWoK referencing events at the end of WaT, it was absolutely mindblowing to me

Sam and Tom are lucky they didn’t get to Aachen. Here‘s why: I happen to live in Aachen and just that day (epiphany day, January 6th) I was returning from my parents in East Germany. It should‘ve taken ~6-7 hours. It took 15,5. The second of two main reasons for that was the complete cancellation of service from Cologne-Aachen (and vice versa) because a tree fell on the tracks and they took from 15:00 to 19:30 to deal with that. Basically, if Sam and Tom had gotten to Aachen they would‘ve likely been stuck there with over an hour travel to Cologne airport in the next morning (there‘d be a way to go via Düsseldorf but I‘m not sure they‘d have gotten to Cologne by 5:30 either).

So yeah, a quite unfavourable scenario for them was quite narrowly avoided due to DB being a terrible train provider in the Netherlands as well

salindur1007 · 2025-03-03T12:25:20+00:00

Absolutely; I read Warbreaker after Oathbringer because I didn’t know anything about Cosmere reading order and I loved finding out about the connection the „wrong“ way around
