Got into Stormlight earlier this year, here's my humble budding collection!

Stormlight got me started into the Cosmere and back into reading as a hobby. It's been a blessing during a rough year for my mental health and i'm so thankful for it. Here's my collection so far - as far as things i'm able to afford to get my grubby hands on all the way from here in Brazil, that is :P

(If anyone is curious why i have Edgedancer as a single and not Arcanum Unbounded: i'm a dummy, simple as. Will get it eventually, alongside Dawnshard!)

Foreshadowing+??

So I am in the middle of a reread of Arc 1 (listening this time) and last night when I was listening to WoR I had my mind blown!

>!In the chapter when Shallan meets Mraize for the first time, acting as Tyn’s apprentice she first interacts with a merchant and his green “chicken.” This may be the first time we realize they call all birds chicken as it is clearly a parrot who speaks to Shallan and scares her to the point that she calls it a void bringer and tells him it will bring the unmade upon them.!<

>!The merchant responds with, “These things fly all over Shinovar. If their voices brought the unmade, the entire country would be cursed!”!<

>!Bruh….. TLDR: Parrots are heralds of the unmade and are responsible for the state of Shinovar we finally see in book 5.!<

Do we know these spren?

I was wondering if someone know what types of spren are supposed to represent these ones in the illustration of Urithiru in Shadesmar.

Because I have no idea.

[OC] Part 1 of my fanart is done - chainmail

Journey before destination! The next step will be the simplified Roshar planetary symbol as a square in one corner, and probably the Cosmere symbol in the other!

Rhythm of war Easter egg in way of kings

I'm on my second listen through, and just noticed something fun,

When Shallan is researching soulcasting at the Palanaeum after she's stollen the soulcaster from jasnah she finds a book that says humming can make soulcasting more effective. That line feels like a little hint towards Navani's research of the pure tones of roshar in RoW. Like if someone using a soul caster hummed the stormlight pure tone it could help in channeling the stormlight more ettectively.

I love seeing just how thought out the magic system was even this early on and just picking up little Easter eggs like that.

Made this recipe a few times after reading about it in WaT

Misir wot with potato flatbread has become a staple in my house, and every time I can't help but think of Szeth. Love the fact that I'd never have tried (or heard of this) without reading these books

Some questions upto WOR

Please do not give spoilers

I have completed Words of radiance.

1-The person who killed the almighty stormgod is also associated with parshmen/voidbringers. Right??

2-Did heralds created the knight radiant or spren just copied their way to create the honorblade

3-Are heralds immortal if not how that one madmen amaram called prince and one szeth met still alive after so many years.

4-First line of the every order of knight radiant is same but the second is different (is it order specific line or person specific) if it is order specific can anyone become knight radiant just by saying the lines or they have to mean it by heart.

Again what should I read next

I have Stormlight archive#3 warbreaker and edgedancer

Please no spoilers Seniors

Artist: Anthony Robinson (me). 5 years later I’ve finally got around to making new Stormlight artwork.

5 years ago I posted Cremling concepts that were popular. I’ve finally come back to producing some personal Stormlight work. Storms I love this world.It’s really cool to see some of my work come up high in Google images when searching certain Stormlight content. I’m hoping I can continue to help new readers build a visual identity. around the amazing world Sanderson has created.

Let me know your thoughts. I love receiving feedback both positive and negative. I have a lot to learn still. Is this how you imagines this creature? or did you have something else in mind?

Shallan Past Discrepancy?

im in 4th book actually atm, but I just thought of it now. How was Shallan able to summon Pattern as a blade as a kid to kill her mom? Isn’t the spren as a blade gated behind the 3rd ideal? Did she swear up to 3 ideals as a kid? I thought she swore the 3rd ideal at the end of the 2nd book? Was that instead the 4th ideal?

Im confused

WIP Jasnah Kholin and (a much less finished) Shallan Davar Dolls

My husband and I are reading Stormlight Archive together at the moment (his second read, my first) and I just knew I had to make my gals Jasnah and Shallan. I still need to finish Shallan's outfit and alter Jasnah's to add a high neckline and replace the roses. I am feeling good about how they are looking so far!

The Way of Kings in LEGO form

Hey, I've been working on recreating the covers for each of the Stormlight Archive novels with LEGO and thought I'd share the first one here.

I took the radiants quiz! (Twice)

This was fun! I didn’t know there was a quiz until a few minutes ago when I was listening to one of Brandon’s Q&A’s. I took quiz and got Edgedancer, then went back and redid some questions I was a wishy-washy on, which changed the result to Windrunner. Both versions of the results are very close. As much as I love the Windrunners, I do think I connect more with the Edgedancers and their oaths. In fact, in reading the oaths again I realize I’ve already said them unknowingly. I’m also terrified of heights, so I don’t know how well the Windrunners would work out

Just finished Oathbringer and something annoys me…

So I just finished Oathbringer, and it was really fantastic and I loved it, but something really annoyed me…

Szeth is known across all of Roshar as the Assassin in White who assassinated King Gavilar and several kings and princes in Jah Keved, but what really upset me was during the Battle of Thaylen City when Szeth showed up, nobody made a reaction about seeing him, NOT EVEN Dalinar who fought him multiple times and swore to avenge his brother’s assassination by killing him. Dalinar just saw him and counted him among the Knights Radiants and started giving him instructions to steal the King’s Drop, and after the Battle he was like oh i know he killed my brother and started all this war but he is now a Knight Radiant so i am gonna make him my PERSONAL GUARD…

Come on man this thing for me really destroyed a lot of things and really pissed me off

I would like to welcome Kaladin to the squad!

Found this little guy while working a fair when he was trying to get into an open box of pizza and brought him home last night. He had a flea collar on, so i took him to the Humane Society to see if he was chipped. He was not. So he is mine now. The choices were between Shade, Gideon, Xaden, Kaladin, and Louis (Santiago). After a night of deliberation, I settled on Kaladin. Little dude is such a delight.

Why did Sadeas never....

Rhythm of war spoiler tag since Amaram Sadeas thingy

But why did Sadeas never have kids?

Gavilar had 2, Dalinar had 2, Ehlokhar had 1. If Adolin had been able to hold a relationship long enough he might have had a kid by the time of Stormlight 1

Sadeas wasn't stupid, he had to have known that eventually he will die and his HighPrincedom would need an heir to succeed him.

Sadeas had that curvaceous woman, they were as in love as one could expect of them I think.

Even if Sadeas couldn't produce biological heirs, he would certainly have an heir named of one of his vassals

The Amaram thing seems to come out of left-field in my opinion. And the Amaram thing could still be done if Sadeas had kids too young to assume the duties of high prince
