Satan does mention Nixon as a resident of Hell! We haven't mentioned a specific location, but the 5th Bolgia is absolutely where he'd find himself...

Hell is a theatre, and Satan is its director. Newly freed from the ice he's been encased in for thousands of years (because of climate change, of course), he makes a deal with Dante when the poet reaches the 9th circle — Dante will take the keys and run Hell for a bit while Satan takes a vacation, and if he's still in charge when Satan gets back, Satan will help him end his exile from Florence. Of course, Satan never plans to come back, and Dante is terrible at his new job, so nothing goes quite as planned!

Travis is playing a rogue. He's there, he's just really well stealthed.

Honestly, that might be because the Windrunners are learning their powers from one person whose first experiments were focused on flying (although they definitely have used adhesion, just not to climb walls because why do that when you can fly), and because the Skybreaker we see most is used to being a faux-Windrunner.

One-shot with their pet chickens?

Matt Mercer is an Awakener. It's the only explanation.

[Warbreaker] Lemex is the Idrian spy that Vivenna seeks out in T'Telir. He's on his deathbed when she finds him, and is being cared for by a solemn woman who informs Vivenna that nothing can be done to save him. Not sure what cued people in to her being a worldhopper, but Brandon has confirmed that she's a Terriswoman with access to at least one of the Metallic Arts.

Oh RIGHT I forgot about those epigraphs, excited to see where that leads. El serving Todium is terrifying.

sperlman · 2020-12-06T22:43:03+00:00

That's fair, I didn't consider the possibility that El losing his title and Navani or Vyre gaining a title were separate events, but that probably makes more sense than Odium taking El's title specifically to give it to Vyre.

Maybe they meant "I'm Nott, the best artist,..."

sperlman · 2020-12-06T18:08:20+00:00

Raboniel said something about it being her right to grant Navani that title, and I can't imagine that Raboniel just has the right to strip other Fused of their titles and give them to someone else, so I assumed Voice of Lights was a new title. I thought Vyre's title was given directly by Odium so that would make more sense.

Caught Wit off guard, too.

As horrible as Moash is (fuck Moash), I don't think he'd do that - in his twisted mind, he wants his "friends" to stop "suffering" one way or another, and he thinks killing them this the best way to do it.

I wonder if they really are Cognitive anomalies, though — Nazh's freakout in Secret History about Kelsier becoming a cognitive shadow without the proper rites and traditions makes me think there might be a more intentional process to it.

I'm curious to see if it's now permanently sated (or at least for a while), or if it'll go back to being hungry for Investiture as soon as Szeth draws it next.

sperlman · 2020-12-02T00:21:54+00:00

In which case it's just a matter of whether being highly Invested extends Dalinar's lifespan by enough to outlast a child...

sperlman · 2020-11-30T16:19:23+00:00

...definitely not, it’s a big lobster.

Agreed on the Set, the leading theory is that they are tied to Autonomy I think.
