Typical Bell. You brainwash just ONE tiny world and suddenly you are the bad guy!

Ari continues being too adorable, someone stop him!

If you imagine his fight with the dragon as anything but a Looney-Toons-esque romp, you are imagining incorrectly.

Most people alleviating or curing baby shrens seem to assume the best order is oldest to youngest, and most people curing adult shrens seem to assume no order is particularly better than any other. Although to some extent this makes sense, wouldn't it actually be more important to cure black group babies ahead of where their ages may indicate, and, to a much lesser extent, to prioritize red and white group adults over other adults?

Also, should we be assuming that the Linnip-summons-somebody sandbox(en) have Rhysel somewhere in Esmaar?

I think everybody we've seen curing shrens so far has been able to do it quick enough that it wouldn't've done any good to bother taking the time to hash out minor details like that. It would be interesting to see a situation where distributing the cure was a slow enough process for that to be a thing, but I don't think it'd make for a good sandbox - there'd be all sorts of repercussions to that that would be worth exploring.

Esu is not among the thing that black groups feel more keenly. Generally there is not assumed to be a limited amount of cure to go around and adults are assumed to be able to tolerate an extra little while of being shrens regardless of their color group in order to accommodate an orderly miracle schedule.

The Linnip-summons-somebody box and future boxen in the same theme are set before Rhysel is summoned; whether she will show up later depends on whether she would suit the box and whether the box perturbs Korulen and Saasnil's behavior in any way.

I'd assumed Linnip started its summoning program after hearing about how useful Rhysel was. Was the schedule moved up for the sandbox, or was I wrong about that?

Can I request that someone (Nemo, perhaps) make a 'worldbuilding thread'-like reference for the Lord Ruler's world? I'm finding it very, very hard to keep track of what all the different types of metal do when used for the various types of magic, and I was not able to google a satisfactory body of reference material.

Edit: My memory is now trying to tell me that someone has already done this. Has someone already done this? Did I forget about it? If so, where is it?

Is Promise as good as Thorn at making orders? Or is she just especially good at circumventing them?

I am working on it buuuut it's going really slowly because I'm having issues ordering the information readably. I will not be terribly sad if someone beats me to it. Reasonable resource in the meantime: Coppermind, a wiki for Brandon Sanderson novels. There is also a Mistborn specific wiki but I find it not as good and stand by my Coppermind recommendation. For metals in particular, the Metallic Arts page on Coppermind has a pretty good table.

I am also working on it, but will not object if someone beats me to it. Challenge accepted!
