Max is a Shadowblade, a supernatural--and supernaturally competent--warrior bound to protect her witch Giselle. As a Shadowblade, Max doesn't age. She is better, faster, stronger than any ordinary human being. And she hates it. Giselle betrayed her trust to make Max what she is, and though she is magically compelled to protect Giselle and follow orders, Max works against her witch in every way she can.

The beggar could be Jezrien. Man in his 30ies with black, short trimmed beard + 4500 years = beggar with long black/gray beard.Yeah, but the only connection there is that they both have beards. By that reasoning, Rock could also be Jezrien.
It would also fit the "King becomes beggar" theme BS used in Elantris.
Abandoning the Oathpact, of course.Which would make you wonder, what was so shaming that she no longer wants people to look at her>I think she destroys the artworks because she's vain and doesn't like how they make her look.Or because she's ashamed of what she did, and doesn't like other people looking at her.

My spleen hurts from laughing so hard.Oh someone PLEASE!!!!!! waterboard Goodkind!! My hope is that he is working with scientists to manufacture shardblades.
This would no doubt inspire Goodkind to write a novel about the incident, explaining -- at great length -- how waterboarding him was perfectly justified. Unfortunate side-effects would be a) sex scenes involving waterboarding, and b) Goodkind writing another novel. So I have to say it's not worth it.
He's mentioned several times that they're difficult to work with, since he doesn't see eye to eye with them.Its a fifth Alcatraz book.I doubt that, given how dissatisfied he's been with Scholastic.

what is wrong with scholastic?
I was under the impression that Shalash was a girl and did not have her safe hand covered, and since that is pornographic in Alethi culture, the statue was hidden from viewI don't think we know that for sure. I posted that as a guess at one point, but that theory was basically pulled out of thin air.
It's also possible that Aona and Skaze purposefully splintered their own shards upon death to prevent Odium from taking them.For the same reason Ruin didn't take Preservation's shard.
I thought that was because Ruin was the antithesis of Preservation, and so he really couldn't. Sazed hadn't been twisted/converted or changed by a Shard yet so he could grab both.
Neither Shard from Elantris sounded like the opposite of Odium, but I guess this explanation does help.
For the same reason Ruin didn't take Preservation's shard.Anyways, we know from the epigraphs that Rayse (who I think most of us are assuming to be Odium) killed Aona and Skai, the Shardholders on Elantris, and then proceeded to Splinter their power so they couldn't be taken up by someone else and used to oppose him. Now we also know, from Dalinar's visions, that Odium killed the Almighty, who seems to be his prime opponent on Roshar.
I asked this on a different topic but this is more relevant. Why did Odium splinter the Shards of Aona and Skai? Why not take them for himself?
Why would Odium splinter Aona and Skai's shards? Why not take them for himself?Probably because he couldn't use them, much like Ruin couldn't use Preservation's.

I think we should actively try to trap the spren, what if we were able to trap all the bad spren, no deathspren=no death, no rotspren=no rot, because as everybody knows the spren cause the things they are associated to. In fact lets go for broke and try to trap ALL the spren, then we can experience their properties whenever WE want to, rather than waiting for spren to show upYou assume that they're the cause of these things, rather than a side effect.
