I was casually looking something up on Coppermind and then got jumpscared:
This is an incredibly bold fashion choice and doesnât fit with any other Thaylen portrait however itâs a reasonable interpretation of his description:
#thaylen eyebrows be wilding#this has fully erased whatever was originally in my mind about how heâd look#his wifeâs eyebrows donât look like this ofc#just his#looking like Patrick with 40 lashes#stormlight archive#crempost#words of radiance#Coppermind

Review:
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Anyways.
DAWNSHARD!
I feel Rysnâs pain. I too find stuff most unimaginably boring interesting.
Oh no, something is wrong with Chiri-Chiri.
âA few anxietyspren, like twisting black cross shapes, appeared around Rysn.â
Huh, interesting.
âSheâd already sent a request via spanreed to someone she thought could help with Chiri-Chiri.â
*Narrows eyes* Who?
âher eyebrow jewelry tinkling softlyâ
Roshar is so weird. (Edit:Â Understatement of the goddamn decade)
âThe king wants to meet this Dalinar Kholin and see these Knights Radiant for himself.â
Man I should have reread these books. Oh well. Goodluck Dalinar.
Itâs very interesting that now Navani is Queen of Urithiru. So Dalinar is King? WAIT WEâRE IN URITHIRU! AHHHH!
âShe was an intimidating woman with her Alethi height, her black and grey hair done in intricate braids atop her head and woven with glowing sapphires.â
Nah, sheâs a mom. I wouldnât be surprised if she tries to mother you.
Rysn Ftori. Did we know her last name?
âFinally the queen stopped, focused on the chair at the rear of the room, then pulled her chair over and sat before Rysn. It was a small gesture, but appreciated. Rysn didnât mind when people remained standing in her presence, but there was a certain thoughtfulness in the way Navani situated herself so they could discuss at eye level with one another.â
As stated, Navani is a mom.
Oh, I think we read about this in Oathbringer.
The Prince of Liafor???
The Rock of Secrets. I see Brandon wasnât trying too hard with this name.
âAs the months had passed, Rysn had begun to truly grasp the strategic importance of Stormlight as a fuel both for fabrials and for the Knights Radiant. Beyond that, the enemy had creaturesâknown as Fusedâ who used the Voidâs own Light. Chiri-Chiri fed on that just as eagerly as Stormlight.â
HmmmâŚyeahâŚ
âŚâŚâŚâŚâŚâŚâŚI kind of ship Lopen and Talik. I donât know how to feel about this. Brandon is creating some very odd ships this year. (If you havenât read the RoW previews, trust me, thereâs a weird one)
ââItâs politics. The annoying kind.â
âThereâs another kind?â
 No.
YAY RUSHU IS COMING ALONG!
âShe owned it. She commanded it. But at least according to maritime tradition, it was not hersâ
This reminds me of how Navani sees herself as not an artifabian (Iâm not even going to bother look up the correct spelling for this)
âRadiant the Lopenâ
PFFFFFFFFFFFT
ââLopen,â Rushu said as she worked, âyou should not be tormenting Brightness Rysn with your prattling.ââ
Rushu! How dare you question the Lopen!!
ââBrightness Rysn shouldnât have to crack jokes at her own expense in order to make other people comfortable with their personal insecurities.â
âYup, true,â the Lopen said. âShe shouldnât have to.ââ
Oooooooooooooooooooooooooo
âTwo halves of a ruby, containing two halves of the same spren, can be made to move in tandem with one anotherâ
âŚTWO HALVES OF THE SAME SPREN. PARDON?!?!!
Iâm assuming that if you can get a ship to move fast enough then a spanreed will work. Much like Brandon has said that time bubbles can work at a certain speed. Plus yâknow, Roshar is constantly moving, we just donât feel it.
âItâs why the motion and curve of the planet donât influence spanreeds.â
Or yâknow, Iâll just be fucking WRONG.
âThat . . . didnât make much sense to Rysn.â
Same.
Iâm guessing that Nikli is a worldhopper. From where though? I donât really trust Nikli right now though. Hmmm.
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NIKLI IS ONE OF THOSE CREMLING THINGS NONONONONONONONONONONONOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
WHAT MEAN YOU ONE OF THESEâŚSWARMS KNOWS DALINAR âI know he will destroy usâ
From the dustjacket of Way of Kings:
âThe last is the highprince, a warlord whose eyes have opened to the past as his thirst for battle wanes.
The world can change. Surgebinding and Shardwielding can return; the magics of ancient days can become ours again. These four people are key.
One of them may redeem us.
And one of them will destroy us.â
So Dalinar will Destroy the Sleepless.
âPlus, Yelamaiszin said, we should have compassion for those we must cull. It is good you like the humans.
Must we cull them though? Nikli replied.â
Oh, the Sleepless gotta cull humans. Fucking great. AHHHHHHHHHHHH.
Is it just required that every single novella is going to have these fuckers in them?
âWhen the swarm that had become Nikli had been Separated, it had already contained hordelings evolved for this subterfuge. Nikli had further evolved them, and was now certain that the body didnât need the tattoos to cover the seams in its skinâ
Wat.
Also whoâs Arclomedarian? Now I need to go reread Edgedancer to see who that guy was. Oh? Who are the true traitors? Itâs probably Hoid.
âwhere they would either fall to the winds or enter the realm of the Sleepless.â
Man, if I was on that ship, Iâd take drowning over finding that. Letâs notttttt.
âThis was sent to another vote, and Nikliâs bodiesâ the distant ones, not on the shipâall vibrated with anticipation.â
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
âCan block a Shardblade, Rua tells me, if itâs thick enough. They get it from Soulcasting, though only a few can make it, so itâs pretty rareâ
YâŚyou can soulcast aluminium? Holy fuck.
No Lopen! You belong with Talik. He can capture that Tsundere heart.
Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh?
As someone who has read Mistborn, you donât want a dramatic end of the world. It causes essential crisis.
âMore spren than animal, they were somehow able to magnify peace and confidence.â
LikeâŚrioting?
ââNo,â several voices said from the crowdâbut she couldnât see who. âThatâs bad luck!ââ
NiklaâŚ
âStorms. It was as if . . . as if the body had been made up of cremlings.â
Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
âno more real than things like the gloomdancer or sea hags from Thaylen mythologyâ
Well, Iâm sure these things donât exist.
âHmmm? Oh, no I was napping during that.â
I do love Rushu.
SoâŚHuioâŚcreatedâŚflying machines. Motherfucker.
I canât believe Roshar has hove chair before cars. Also HOVER BRIDGES LETâS GOOOOOOOOO.
NikliâŚwhat are you doing?
Rushu is a soulcaster! Wild.
âRegardless, I demanded that Navani send me with either a Shardblade or a Soulcaster to get through.â
You fucking what mate?
âStrange, to think how optimistic sheâd been only a short time ago.â
That tends to happen with Brando Sando books. One moment the characters are on top of the world and next everything is crashing down.
The sun being shattered into pieces? Well that canât be good.
âShe counted the shards in her mind, over and over, feeling a reverence to the number.â
Ten or sixteen?
âIt looked vaguely like an enormous grub with a wicked beak of a face. It had spindly arms running all the way along its body, and had reared up so it was mostly vertical, using its pointed limbs like spears to try to skewer the sailors beneath.â
Again. Roshar. Fuck off.
âThe Mother of Machines,â
Thirty emerald broams says the back of the book has something about the Mother of Machines on it.
âI . . . have no idea what any of that means,â
Me reading half of this book.
âAnd in truth, those treaties were made with other gods. I had hoped the Gods Who Sleep Not would be similarly bound, but now I am not certain.â
OTHER GODS? WHICH ONES?!
GOOD JOB HUIO!!!
âWe wish to avoid losing control of a force that could destroy the cosmere.â
Odium? Just donât let any love struck teenagers near it and youâll be fine.
âAs I and my kind are not native to this planet, we prefer the term âhordelings.ââ
WâŚWhere are you from?
This reminds me of Skyward.
I am sure that Rysn will not be able to employ it. How many books do we have left?
âAnd then eventually, they were used to undo Adonalsium itself. . . .â
YOU FUCKING WHAT?!
Rysn, youâre going to get a visit from an asshole. Be prepared and good luck.
I canât for Arc 2 where we get so BIG CHIRI-CHIRI.
Interesting so Rysn will never become a Radiant.
âRegrettably, there has been a conflict on the beach with some of our more . . . specialized hordelings,â
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
âYou have Remade yourself.â
Remade? Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
Oh no. Lopen noooooooooooooo.
Who needs a Hover chair when YOU CAN RIDE A CRAB DRAGON! SUCKING ALL THE STORMLIGHT! WIELDING THE DAWNSHARD!
âWas it . . . brighter than usual? Why did the colors in her room look so exceptionally vivid all of a sudden?â
Idos Domi! What heightening are you?
I was not expecting this. My thoughts are currently just on the floor, screaming. Brandon, you cannot just drop lore on me like this.
