Brandon Sanderson / Re: How much of the prophecies can we trust?
« on: July 12, 2008, 12:03:15 AM »
Sure he could have. But did Ruin need to change it? It seems he didn't change it, but we really don't know for certain. Kwaan knows of things that have changed just in the time after he found Alendi, but had any changed before then?

Because we know Ruin can change things, but we don't know how much, how often, or when it started to do so.

the funny thing about designing the UI is that isn't writing.

Oh well. I'll see what I can come up with, but it will prolly not be fabulous artwork. I could describe it well...

Brandon Sanderson / Re: Rashek's hatred not misplaced

A point. If Rashek is insisting that the HoA has to be someone of Pure Terris Blood, it's possible Kwaan told him. Possible, mind you; Kwaan is the one who said Alendi was the Hero.

I think, in the third book, that Sazed will end up being the HoA that saves the day at the end. Alendi quotes some of the prophesies, and I find it amusing that Sazed fits those descriptions. the headings on Chapters 8 and 21:

Quote
He shall defend their ways, yet violate them. He will be their savior, yet they shall call him heretic. His name shall be Discord, yet they shall love him for it.

Quote
The Hero of Ages shall not be a man, but a force. No nation may claim him, no woman shall keep him, and no king may slay him. He shall belong to none, not even himself.

Crazy idea.

We do know that Ruin is changing the prophecies, but we don't know if Preservation can do it. Seems not. The Mist Spirit can cut things, but not change the words, and we don't even know if the Mist Spirit is Preservation. Still, while the prophecies are being changed, that's not to say they were just made up. So there probably is a prophecy about the Hero of Ages, and it still hasn't been fulfilled yet, because Ruin is getting in the way. And it could be the prophecy is to destroy Ruin. Or Preservation. Or balance the two.

I don't think it's outright said, but it's definitely inferred from events in the book.

No prob.

However, he would be more inexperienced. Not saying much, since in a year's time, he could be AMAZING. But it does make sense for him to be powerful, since there's no genetic dilution at all.

Writing. I'd like to work on the writing.

Three houses in Luthadel? Or perhaps one from the outside (like Cett)? And are we just doing multi-player, or campaigns, rpg, co-op?

But what if Alendi wasn't the Hero? What if the Hero of Ages was/is actually supposed to be a Terrisman? Kwaan doesn't say whether that part was different or not. It also depended on how long ago Ruin started changing the metalminds.

Records say no Allomancy before TLR, but those records could have been changed. Or lost. All three magics COULD have existed before the ascension. Though if that was the case, why would Ruin hide it?

And, in the prologue, it mentions that Ruin still couldn't affect the world directly, because of some shield that was blanketing it. Like the mists. Possibly.

I should say Reaves, you can get a few sample chapters on his website, if you want to get a hint about what the book's style is.

However, I personally (still) think it more likely that he's referring to the fact that you have to get 11 spikes into their bodies without killing them, and apparently going through the correct organs of the sacrifice(s).
(Hero of Ages Prologue topic, Andrew the Great)

HA! So what if Hemalurgy has something to do directly with the metal and different organs in the body? Like this metal in that organ of the sacrifice leads to this power in the hemalurgist.

An idea.

I believe that first time she used the eleventh metal there was more than one person in the room, and the second man was an inquisitor.

Well, I loved it. The first book, I mean. Not that my statement helps you all that much. :P

Though the mist spirit denies any involvement in the slayings, when Sazed asks it.
