Just watched https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o41ZcgFgGS4 So which Sanderson character should Henry Cavill play? I liked the choices for Lightsong, Susebron and Dalinar. Lightsong/Susebron- Cavill obviously has the physique to play a god, and would make a good mute. But I'm not sure how well he can pull off the sarcastic, foppish, flippant nature of Lightsong. It would be a nice change of pace to see him in that kind of roll. I do kind of think more of Chris Pratt when I think of Lightsong though if we want to talk dream castings. Dalinar- Cavill is too young and too pretty, but a bit of makeup to make his nose appear broken and another 10-15 years before a Stomlight adaption would make it screen anyways would put him closer to right age. And I think he plays stoic and serious really well, which is quintessential Dalinar.

Obviously Kelsier should be played by Sean Bean.

th3t00t posted:Only 1 chapter this week It seems almost as if the Windrunners and the Heavenly Ones are more influenced by Honor than other members. Supposedly, Honor tied/trapped Odium to Roshar somehow and this might be related. Navani thinking there was a sound when Dalinar opened the perpendicularity has got me wondering about music spren and those large sentient horses. Hoid also tried to get Kaladin to learn the flute, perhaps that is also related. The more I read Sandersons books, the more I see that he really focuses in how technology advances societies.

Presumably that means 75% done with the rough draft, not 75% done with the entire writing process, but still. drat.

People seem to think the dude is Adolin. The outfit makes sense but why is his hair silver? Spicy take: it's Hoid holding Nightblood. Also, that artist made Shadesmar look dumb.

eke out posted:i definitely did not imagine that dude having anime silver hair lol He very much does not, he famously has his mother's golden locks! Mixed with streaks of the usual Alethi black hair. So yes, he kinda has hair like Yugi Muto from the Yu-Gi-Oh anime... So okay, he has anime hair, but if that's Adolin, he either had a big change coming over him, or the artist had no idea what he was doing.

Not to make two speculative Nightblood posts on one page, but I suppose his hair color could have been drained by it if he unsheathed it. I'm going to chalk it up to fantasy artists just being bad/unfamiliar with their source material in general. But if Sanderson breaks up Szeth and sword-nimi, I'll be pretty mad.

The blade is thin,[4] long, and straight, with cutting edges on both sides.[5] The cross guard is referred to as being hooked. The hilt has a pommel in that pic: black hilt wrapped in silvery metal, hooked crossguard, pommel it's obv not his normal much bigger and vine-themed shardblade (i know it's probably just artistic license and we're reading too much into it) eke out fucked around with this message at 19:09 on Aug 17, 2020 |

Adolin and Shallan are clearly in Shadesmar, but Adolin's sword doesn't take the form of a sword in Shadesmar, it's a zombie spren without eyes. When he tried to summon his sword in Shadesmar previously the zombie spren just screamed at him. Nightblood though would probably take the form of a sword in Shadesmar, because it is literally a sword given sentience. I'm glad we got a visualization of Shadesmar, I couldn't make the descriptions make much sense in my head. It's very dark and full of black marbles?

I guess Veil and her other appearances can look different but that is not what I would've thought of for Shallan's appearance. She looks Scandinavian.

Shallan is independently described as blue-eyed, light skinned, red haired, and lightly freckled, and she is compared to Alethi as fairer, slimmer, and shorter. I pictured her with a more boyish figure and maybe darker reddish hair closer to auburn, but the artist certainly got closer to the text with her than with Adolin.

There is a fair amount of skin colour/hair colour variation on Roshar, it’s just that epicanthic folds are common to everyone but the Shin. You can’t map earth ethnicities one to one on it, which is nice really. Also everyone’s over six foot tall and some people have crystalline growths.

I wonder are the folds common on Roshar because Cultivation adapted the humans to fit in better, there is a theory that they evolved to protect people eyes from grit in wind.

Interesting that the epigraph shows that zinc and brass have the same effect on a fabrial spren as they do in Allomancy.

MildShow posted:Interesting that the epigraph shows that zinc and brass have the same effect on a fabrial spren as they do in Allomancy. Yeah, I noticed that too. I immediately went to the wiki to confirm they worked that way. Seems like a lot of things are going to connect in this book. I'll be reading along with my brother and a friend of ours but I really wish they'd read Mistborn and Warbreaker first. They're going to miss a lot.
