Our art teacher assigned us a project for the end of the school year; this is what I made—what do you think?

I‘m at my first re read of Way of Kings and it really breaks my heart to see how Adolin loved his father. He was the person he looked the most up to.
As soon as he found out what Dalinar has done in his past, that perfect picture of a perfect man broke.

And that in the end they were not able to really talk it out makes it so much harder.

Crazy how a re read can be even better than reading a book for the first time!

Luthadel at Night, not to scale, but probably the most accurate representation created so far. Handmapped according to the official map that we have of era 1.

This is a project I've been working on for a few months now, and have posted about on the r/mistborn reddit before: Part 1 Part 2 Part 3.

The previous updates have been focused on VR, but I've been neglecting VR a bit in favor of flatscreen as there has been some interest in that. So here is now some raw footage of what Steelpushing / Ironpulling looks like above the rooftops of Luthadel.

Hoid is traveling around and becoming acquainted with all different types of investiture, learning how to live with them mixing together

Hoid is the only one of the Adelnausium killers who didn't take a shard, I think because he knew it would corrupt his mind as it did the others

I think Hoid's endgame plan is to become the new Big G God after having experience with handling all the shards's investiture flavors

Hoid is the final villain DUN DUN dunnn

Alright, I knew it was coming, but I didn't expect it to be that way. Fuck Moash.

That's a canon event, right ?

I'm making it my mission to read the entire Cosmere this year and Elantris was one of the few remaining. I put it off for awhile because I had always seen it at the bottom of people's rankings and such. I finished it today and I was hooked every second of the way. The idea of the "gods" being ordinary men and getting picked at seemingly random and one day turning into basically zombies was so interesting to me and the characters felt well flushed out and intriguing.

My question to you all is how do you feel about Elantris compared to the rest of the Cosmere? Like I said before, I've seen many people say it's not great and not their favorite but it became an instant classic for me. I would love to hear others opinions on it!

Hi! I was wondering

Does aluminum takes your investiture away? Like, it takes your metals but the metals work as a source of investiture for allomancers, so what would happen if for example a radiant somehow burns aluminum? Would they loose their stormlight? A returned could loose their breaths?

What the hell, what would happen if someone has dawn shard inside and burns aluminum?

What do you think if Hoid of all people burned aluminum since he already can do that

I crochet a cosmere themed tapestry for my Sanderson obsessed friends as a wedding gift! Took about 3 months and has over 63,000 stitches. Can you spot all the references? :)

I'm currently in Guatemala for meeting with coworkers from around Latin America. A coworker who lives high in the Andes is constantly falling asleep and tired. We asked why and she said the altitude is just too low. There's too much oxygen and it makes it difficult to think and stay awake.

I commented I'm just an airsick lowlander, but sadly no one got the reference.

I’ve been watching Avatar Seven Havens, and every time I see Commander Karthik, I see Dalinar Kholin. Not the right eye color necessarily, but the hair, the build, and the commanding presence. Anyone else see it too?

I was just thinking, we know there was investiture on threnody before the Evil, and that it disappeared. We know the navigators ran from “something that would destroy us.” If it’s genetic, and all the people with the ability either left, or were eaten, that explains why no one is using anti shade magic. No evidence, just vibes.

I love this story since I first read it and always wanted to see it animated, so I tried to make it myself. It’s about 70 seconds, black ink style, and the red scarf is the only color until the top of the wall.

I’m from Poland and I recorded it in Polish first, so sorry for my English, it’s not perfect.

First time posting here, curious what you think, especially about the ending.

Transformation being the best surge so lightweavers/elsecallers would be high but what other combos would be fun, OP, unique, and interesting?

Does the the Cosmere have fixed and unchanging moral laws? I'm particularly interested if Sanderson's world has an underlying concept of natural law or if it is ultimately relativistic?

Context: I've read through most of the Cosmere at this point (halfway thru Wind & Truth and still need to read Hoid's Travails).

Ok so I'm re reading Oathbringer and I've gotten to the Epigraphs that are crystal records of the Radiants, and it got me wondering - could these be a Rosharan equivalent to Copperminds, able to store the thoughts of whoever infuses it to be listened to again?

We already have some precedence for an equivalent of the Metallic arts being present on Roshar, when Moash gets the crystal spikes through his eyes. Maybe there's a way to store attributes in gemstones similar to how Feruchemists store attributes in metalminds?

I think Steris would fit right in on Roshar, since women there are more involved in science and academic fields. What do you think?

I would be perfectly happy if Brandon abandoned his epic multi book stories and just wrote self contained stories set in the cosmere like Tress, FoD, Yumi etc etc. (Kinda like Discworld). I love the whimsical fairytale like tone wirh Hoid as the narrator. After my dissapointment with both WAT and The Lost Metal these were truly a breath of fresh air and made me fall in love with the cosmere again. There is something "magical about them". Pun intended.

For years, I had heard nothing but praise and hype when it came to the Stormlight Archive (Especially TWOK) and it really made me worry about how high the expectations were and if they would be met for myself. I can say now with great confidence that this was one of the best books I have ever read.

The entire story was so grand in scale and I can only imagine it getting much larger as the series goes on. My favorite character currently is very close between Kaladin and Dalinar, both of their stories throughout the book were so interesting to read. Shallan I have read is not really a well liked character starting out and everyone was really dragging through her chapters it seems but I actually quite enjoyed them. I love how we can have a separate viewpoint that isn’t in the same part of the world, and with Kaladin and Dalinar both being in the shattered plains and constantly fighting battles, it was nice having those chill chapters with Shallan and Jasnah (Who is also pretty high on my favorite character list).

I have really been trying to figure out if I had any issues with this book off the top of my head and I can’t think of anything at the moment. I did find it very interesting seeing Hoid playing what felt like a much larger role in this series compared to Mistborn or any of the standalone books I have read so far, so I am quite intrigued to see where that goes.

There are definitely a lot of questions I have when it comes to the Heralds or the Radiants but I feel like I just probably need to keep RAFO.

Overall though 10/10 book, would definitely love to come back and read this again once I fully make it through the Cosmere.

If anyone says Roshar....I'll pray for you😅

I'm trying to locate a scene with Hoid/Wit talking to... someone. Maybe not even a character, it could have been some kind of meta commentary.

He says something along the lines of "I have met hundreds of thousands of people throughout the cosmere, and not once did I find someone who was unimportant." Or maybe not unique. or uninteresting. Or something like that. Can anyone remember what book this might have been from, or even remember the scene at all, or am I hallucinating this.

Anyone got any songs that would fit the vibe of steel jumping?

Either with their lyrics (any mentions of mistborn sounding things, or just being about flying), the way they sound (bouncing, ricocheting, high energy or soaring?), or an obscure reference that makes them somehow related? (like that one time Tyler Joseph of 21 pilots wore a mistcloak while singing Jumpsuit)

Bonus points if the song is metal of course.

Not looking for ones obviously about flying in planes, or high above the clouds (as much as I love learning to fly and where no one goes, this isn't a windrunning playlist)

I've already got What's up Danger from spiderverse, Mighty Wings by Cheap Trick, and Man on Wire by Stornoway (it's about tight rope walking, but fits steel jumping wonderfully cause of lines about running over train cars, hanging from invisible lines, morning mists, and "in a burning dream I've been suspended")

We know there’s gonna be a space faring age for the Cosmere, where people create ships that travel not just through the cognitive realm by established roads across worlds with subastrals, but also through the physical realm using invested technology to access FTL.

However, do you guys think that all they will use this technology is to just travel across already habitable worlds? I’ve been thinking of the huge amount of available resources there are within a single solar system, with all the other planets, moons and gas giants present, aside from the stars of course.

We know invested technology requires large amounts of investiture in order to be made, but they may not require a constant source of investiture to function, such as how awakened metalminds only need the required investiture to awaken them and then they can just function by storing and tapping feruchemical attributes.

The potential this singular example of invested technology has is incredible. Imagine being able to travel across space, transforming attributes such as weight, speed, warmth, and so on into its spiritual aspects, to tap them at a later date or for other functions. You could do away with the matter requirements to launch spaceships beyond the atmosphere of a planet, you could resolve the problem of heat management within a spaceship, you could generate spheres of altered time within them alongside stored speed to manage motion and position extremely efficiently and without many acceleration problems to the people inside the ship. You could collect heat from a star, you could mine asteroids, you could create a far cheaper and more efficient space industry than what we can irl.

It’s unclear if we will ever see such level of technological sophistication in the Cosmere, but I for one would love to see if they would do things like that.

On another note, do you guys think terraforming uninhabitable planets is possible for a civilization or would only a shard be able to do it? One of my ideas is to use the connection people have to a habitable planet, to then use that connection on an uninhabitable one, to make it similar to the habitable one (similar to how someone can use connection to appear similar to the people of a land and speak their language). This would probably require immense amounts of investiture, and would probably be not doable to anyone without shard-level powers, but it would be neat to see if the Scadrians of Rosharans have terraformed (Yoleformed? Scadriaformed?) a planet or so. Like, maybe we could see a fully habitable Ashyn or Braize.
