Stormlight Archive Book 5... BIGGEST QUESTIONS ft. Lost in Discovery

[@LostinDiscovery]

Thanks for having me on Cam, this was great fun!

[@brodyot94]

Cmon Christian! I've been trying to get you on for months!

[@ctaylorcaldwell]

A great discussion thank you. I can't wait to find out what actually happens in the fifth book.

[@malcolmhodnett8874]

What a combo Cam I have a question: have you read everything in the Cosmere already? If so where would you say is the most important planetary system in the Cosmere and will that change in the future?

[@richardsrichards2984]

Roshar...one reason Taravaodium...he is going to "save them all"

[@dinocollins720]

Has to be one of the best collabs of all time!!!

[@tylerwebb2495]

I wonder if Thaidakar wants to find a way to get off world. He’s likely stuck connected to the investiture of his home world and wants to find a way to fix that. I wonder if there’s a way for him to take a perfect gem and use it as a portable battery for him to connect to. Or use Ba Ado Mishram to somehow re-key his identity or connection, which might be how singer forms work. So much I want to know!!

[@Nylspider]

[Word of Brandon spoiler] One thing to keep in mind is that Brando himself has confirmed that Hoid was the one who got tricked at the end of Rhythm of War, and that Hoid is going to realize this relatively early on in SA5 And a smaller nitpick, but at 9:50 in the video, they are most certainly not set in the same solar system lol, they're all in the same galaxy

[@bhargavapothakamuri4218]

Yup Shallan’s character can meet an untimely end. I wouldn’t mind it.

[@nicelodeon4576]

Sounds rather mean lol

[@morganasay7759]

This was really well done. Thank you both for your time

[@troyharbpro]

Oh my, it’s a wild Kremling!

[@Grux_ASG]

Definitely one of the collabs of all time

[@guiyerod444]

I think the battle of champions will be in part 1, Brandon has said that this book is not going to be loke the rest so I think every part maybe will have its own Sanderlanche?

[@rusty1nz]

My prediction is that Dalinar will eventually unite all 17 shards of the cosmere

[@mmckethan89]

There is a lot of color that can be provided on the higher ideals that each radiant orders embodies and what that means for the setting.

[@seanhalpin87]

The best place for cosmere related content is easily 17th shard

[@havenschade8174]

Yeah but lost in discovery has a nicer voice lol

[@seanhalpin87]

LID is one of my favorite channels but 17th shard is the official sanderson fansite and are by far the most knowledgeable group on the cosmere

[@mugiwarated6319]

17th Shard is great. LID is great. They’re both full of knowledge. There’s no real need to compare them. They offer different styles and perspectives and are both worthy of your time if you’re a big fan of the Cosmere.

[@ziawrsps6881]

17th shard is great for those of us super nerds who like to go deep deep deep into wild theories and predictions. But I love LID it’s why I got into cosmere and led me to 17th shard and all of Brandon’s works.

[@tomraineofmagigor3499]

I don't see the reason to compare. Why have a gatekeeping mindset and not want more people to talk about the cosmere with?

[@captainsirk1173]

I still think Kaladin’s going for the Harmony shard. That one chapter heading…

[@Slink1701]

I guess it's not entirely impossible given how long radiants can probably live, that would likely mean that Harmony in mistborn era 2 is actually Kaladin. It would certainly be funny to think that he's been impersonating Harmony's speech patterns this whole time.

[@Slink1701]

I do agree that the chapter heading does scream Kaladin's name, but to be honest, Wax and Kaladin are very similar characters in that respect and both fit the description.

[@RickarRickani]

Breath can't be taken by force, Hoid most have been willing right?

[@frankthepug3103]

I think it was his plan to have the breath taken from him, however, he thought he would be dealing with Rayse and STILL thinks he's dealing with Rayse

[@ryanciesiolka9435]

I never thought of that before. Though I guess I just assumed shards can break the general rules of investiture?

[@RickarRickani]

@@ryanciesiolka9435 It don't think Brandon will break his hard magic system like that tbh

[@RickarRickani]

@@frankthepug3103 Good point

[@tomraineofmagigor3499]

@@RickarRickani I don't think it would be a break as whatever happened with him was different than what normally happens with breath. Normally breath is all or nothing. Normally shards can't do things to regular mortals cause of oaths they're bound to. From what I've seen there's 4 things that stop a shard from doing simply whatever: oaths the power is bound to, the nature of the shard, the limitation of the vessel, and interference from another shard

I think the stormfather dies
