Brandon Sanderson / The Very General Spike Theme
« on: May 15, 2008, 02:30:02 PM »
Since the Koloss thread is turning into a spike discussion, I thought, for order sake, that it would be better to place our notes and comments on different spikes here. It could be mainly the Inquisitors' spikes but, if any other creature (beside the Koloss since they have their own thread) is discovered with one or more (including poor Zane - R.I.P.).

I hesitate into just following this topic in the Hemalurgy thread since there is a possibility that Hemalurgy could belong only to the Lord Ruler and that he only created the Inquisitors with it, themselves not using hemalurgy. We know that they have the power of a Mistborn, but that is not also sufficient to say that they are so either.

So we found three quotes, 1 from MB1 and 2 from MB2 that confirms that the eye spikes are Iron, one in MB1 that tells us that the spike between the shoulder blade was steel. This is a start.

Brandon Sanderson / The Koloss

We did mention the koloss a number of times in various thread but I thought it would be useful to gather into one topic all that we know or discover about them. For instance, I don't think we did discuss about which metal their nails were. Re-reading, I stumbled unto this :

Quote
He set his candle on the table, the fragile light illuminating a few scattered pages, a pile of strange metal nails taken from koloss bodies, and one manuscript.
MB2 p. 552

Now, I need to understand something. I might be wrong. The way I understand it, it's the metal that is strange and not the nails themselves. Would it mean that Sazed did not know the metal ? Are we looking at a different one yet ? But I might be wrong. Could someone clarify this point for me ?

Brandon Sanderson / Mysterious Reen ?

I am sorry if this has been discussed already. I did not look on all threads that were created before I arrived. But this has to be discussed and studied...

Reading Brandon's annotation is enlightening

Quote from: Mistborn Chapter Seven Part Two
Kelsier's warning about not flaring metals too much is a foreshadowing for book three of the trilogy. You'll see what I mean in a couple of years. Also, there's something very important about Vin's brother that will be hard to pick out, but has been foreshadowed since the first book. . . .

So I would wish us to discuss what we think we discovered about Reen that would be so hard to pick... for one person by his or herself...  ;)
