I get my pawn to the other side of the chess board. King you I say. That's impossible you say. I pull out another king piece. It's your side's color. It becomes impossible to determine royal lineage. Your kingdom crumbles. Checkmate.

I'm... I'm too deep into the Mistborn-Warbreaker pipeline. Please help.

This is something I'm going to put into my back pocket. I'm just about to read the prologue of The Way of Kings.

I'll say this flat out, I'm sure Kelsier and certain Nalthians will be involved in the events on Roshar. I remember from The Lost Metal that there are Ghostbloods active on Roshar. Warbreaker didn’t present anything for me to assume Nalthians will be involved. But considering Warbreaker before Stormlight is a common suggestion… I'm confident something big must be happening on Roshar.

I wonder if Vasher will be for Endowment, what I believe Kelsier is for Sazed.

Someone who has had a major impact on their own planet, but the ruling Shard is nudging them to impact their planet and the cosmere in vital ways. All to lead towards a grand outcome centuries into the future. Endowment is nudging Vasher towards... something important.

The Lost Metal gave me the impression that Sazed secretly trusts Kelsier and the Ghostbloods, but his plan necessitates that they believe he distrusts them. The Lost Metal gave me the impression that while Sazed was inexperienced and blinded in some regards, he has something big planned in other regards. I think he was blindsided since he lacked firsthand experience in chessmastery, while he was facing a very experienced chessmaster who wields an incredible ability to see into the future. And it's possible that while his powers (especially Preservation) knew about Autonomy planting seeds over 1300 years ago, Autonomy stopped directly interfering until after his Ascension.

Even then, I thought Sazed showed very subtle signs his precognitive abilities were better than Autonomy. Autonomy completely ignored the Ghostbloods, Wayne, and Marasi. Sazed confirmed he made the Ghostbloods into his chess pieces even though they didn’t know. Specifically, he implied they were the mobilized help that didn't know they were the help.

His cultivation of Wayne implies he is extremely adaptable. Even though he didn’t know he needed Wayne 7 years and 5 months ago, he had plenty of time to make the realization and cultivate Wayne into the perfect Slider who could detonate the bomb. Heck, he might've realized Wayne's role in the 5 months between Wax’s return and The Alloy of Law. Plus, there was surely future sight going on when he sent Wax the note suggesting to make the trellium earring.

Shadows of Self confirmed that Marasi is one of his agents, someone he's maneuvering into a position that's good for the city. The only position that would fit is Governor of Elendel. I believe Sazed he was cultivating Marasi into the Governor who could reduce crime, improve the police system, and help the world. Not by relying on statistics, theory, violence, or secrecy. But by trusting people. In addition, I got the vibe Sazed was doing something similar to Leras' own "burn all the atium" plan. That he guided Marasi and the Ghostbloods towards the Community’s location. So that Marasi, the Ghostbloods, and the Community’s Allomancers can burn up the power of Autonomy’s perpendicularity. And perhaps so Marasi can freeze Autonomy's army. She even noted the similarities between what she needed to do, and Elend's army burning all the atium.

Fucking hell, Sazed even confirmed in Bands of Mourning that he arranged for the group to stop the Set's search. And that he trusted Marasi to use the Bands but give them up.

I would also say that Autonomy ignored Tobal, Maraga, and Marsh. Those three lead the group towards the Set's true plans.

So with all that yapping said, my pet theory is that Sazed has a subtle plan for Kelsier. That plan is for Kelsier to be Sazed’s real intended Sword, while Wax and Wayne’s escapades were necessary steps. But he needs Kelsier to learn a lesson essential for the Sword. Just like he needed Marasi to learn a lesson to be Governor, or needed Wax to fight through emotional turmoil to mow down the Set's military. Or how Preservation needed Vin, Elend, and Sazed to be cultivated into people with certain mindsets and Connections.

And don't forget that Sazed holds the full history, chessboard, and future sight of “Vin isn't the Hero of Ages, it is Sazed” and “The message delivered not to Vin, but to Marsh.”

Endowment and Sazed might be subtle but devious and dangerous.

TBF Theory: Human and Demons Have A Common Origin

The War of Fading Dusk happened 200 years before the start of Thunderbolt Fantasy, but it overshadows everything that happens in the present. The reason so many magic swords exist is so humanity could fight the demons invading their world. They succeeded, but at a cost--the country of Wan Yu was separated by a vast wasteland full of monsters and divided into Xi You and Dong Li, with no interactions until Shang Bu Huan hacked his way through.

We don't know why exactly the demons invaded, or why exactly they stopped, only that it was a unilateral decision from the Demon King to order a retreat and forbid contact with the human world. The exceptions are holdouts like Xing Hai, Zhao Jun Lin, and Azibelpher who said "fuck that" and kept on doing their thing for various reasons of their own. But given all of the established themes, I'm going to hazard a guess that a major twist in S4 will be the reveal that humans and demons have a common origin, and/or the human world and demon world were originally one and the same, just like Xi You and Dong Li were once one nation.

Humans and demons are different, but they're not that different--while demons come in a wide variety of shapes, at least some of them are humanoid, and we know the two races can interbreed with each other. In real life, that usually implies some degree of relation or common ancestor, but this is a fantasy world where magic exists, so all bets are off. Nevertheless, Lang Wu Yao's existence demonstrates that it is in fact possible for humans and demons to produce viable offspring, so I wouldn't be surprised to learn that they aren't as different from each other as we've been led to believe.

And I think Azibelpher knows this, because why else would he fuck around with Ling Mo Yan in the first place, and why is he so interested in his son? Why did he defy the demon king's orders and interact with the human world--sure, it was for the lulz, but I doubt that's the only reason. We may not know the full extent of his plans, but Azibelpher has an agenda, and unfortunately for poor Lang, he's right in the middle of it. (Like every Urobuchi villain, Azibelpher has an obsession with fate, destiny, and chessmastery; he may or may not be winging it, but he's got something particular in mind.)

This would also explain something that's puzzled me about S3 on rewatch, which is to say that it sure seems like Azibelpher deliberately sends Shang Bu Huan back in time to the Wars of Fading Dusk to meet Bai Lian and learn the secret behind the magic swords: they were either ordinary swords carried over from another world that gained unexpected abilities as a result of the transfer, OR were forged specifically for that purpose in a location that transferred from another world (Bai Lian's estate). They weren't divine gifts from the gods, they were just one poor confused guy from another world making the best of a bad situation. You know, the sort of thing anybody would do in that position.

(But why does Azibelpher want Shang to know this? What purpose does it serve? And it can't possibly be a coincidence, not when Juan Can Yun, who was right there when Azibelpher interrupted the three of them, gets left behind. What is he planning?? TBD.)

Given the theme of duality as well as the theme that things that are of both worlds have special powers, it's not hard to imagine this information being used in some fashion in future installments. There's already a few hints of it--the "blade whose existence is beyond reality" that Huo Shi Ming Huang claims is the only thing that can kill him, and there's Lang himself, a child of both worlds--and probably more we don't yet know about. Certainly, the trailer and promotional materials for S4 seem to imply that Lang's voice is somehow the key to everything.

Perhaps once upon a time, humans and demons and/or their worlds were the same, and perhaps there are those who would like to see that again, even as there are plenty who would prefer to keep them separate. (Can you imagine Xing Hai's reaction when she finds out??) If that's not as least some of the politicking going on in the demon world in S4, I'll be shocked.

Just as I think Xi You and Dong Li will be reunited before the end, I think the same will be true on a much larger scale for humans and demons as well, though whether that means a literal merger or a metaphorical one is not yet clear.
