== Stormlight Major Characters History Status ==
We'd like to get these updated for the release of ''[[Rhythm of War]]''. See [[Help:Character histories]] for guidelines.</div>
 
'''Needs work'''
*[[Shallan]]: Pretty detailed until departure for Kholinar in OB, extremely light past that.
*[[Venli]]: Short, though I think everything's just about there. Could maybe use more detail, since she's going to be the main character.
*[[Eshonai]]: The basics are there, more detail might be good though. Since she's dead, maybe it's worth trying to complete this so that the only thing left after RoW is whatever flashbacks she gets?
*[[Navani]]: Needs help, but might not be an easy one to do&mdash;problems are a bit more structural than the other characters'.
*[[Renarin]]: Practically nothing from WoK or WoR, minimal OB content (Part 1 might be covered okay, but that's it). Being worked on by King of Herdaz
 
'''In good shape'''<br />
''Needs review?''
*[[Kaladin]]: Updated for OB by Jarno87 and Gobblinggoblin
*[[Adolin]]: Updated for OB by Jarno87
*[[Jasnah]]: Updated for OB by PiedPeterPiper
*[[Dalinar]]: Updated for OB by King of Herdaz
 
''Was good already''
*[[Szeth]]
*[[Lirin]]

=== Current ===
As in, actively (ish) being worked on and hopefully will be done soon.
* ''Rhythm of War''!
* Moving the list of spren to a subpage. Subpage in progress at [[User:Stargazer/Spren/Known types of spren]]; working on what would be left of the spren article at [[User:Stargazer/Spren]]. Check redirects to spren page when done; will need to be re-pointed to subpage.
* Updating core cosmere articles with Grace
* Working on [[Realmatic Theory]] at [[User:Stargazer/Realmatic Theory]]
** [[Investiture]] (see [[User:Thegatorgirl00/Invested Art]], [[User:Thegatorgirl00/Investiture]], [[User:Thegatorgirl00/Investiture terms]])
* Resolve open suggestions for deltion/moves/merges. Excellent progress; moved to [[Coppermind:Editor's Corner]].
** [[Perpendicularity]]?
* Tweaking <code>era</code> parameters (this one's grown a bit since I started it). New {{t|era}} template is at the top of this page, doing infobox work on [[User:Stargazer/General Testing]].
** [[Physical Realm]]?
** Circle back to [[Realmatic Theory#Cognitive Realm]]?
* Check back on current deletion/move/merge tags after RoW calms down; we tabeled a fair number until RoW
 
=== Other/Personal ===
* '''Re-check the type of infobox on whatever we end up calling the article for the delver training maze after Skyward 3 comes out.'''
* Make sure species names and variations of "cytonic" are lowercase. Biggest offenders are probably [[:Category:Defending Elysium]]
** Check <code>world</code> parameter; I think we said this should be homeworld, not wherever the species happens to appear.
* I think there's some clean-up that could be done on high level categories (and meta categorization!); look into that some more and discuss with Keepers.
* Maybe update [[:File:BrandonSanderson.jpg|our picture of Brandon]], maybe with [https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Brandon_Sanderson_-_Lucca_Comics_%26_Games_2016.jpg this (Wikimedia Commons)].
* Organize [[Coppermind:Artists/taratjah]]'s tarot cards, but that also requires working out galleries.
* [[Tanavast]] and [[Honor]]: Working out the difference between Vessel and Shard pages and adding detail. Haven't actually gotten to work on this, but work in progress will be at [[User:Stargazer/Tanavast]] and [[User:Stargazer/Honor]]. See [[Rayse]] and [[Odium]] for general split between Vessel and Shard.
* Tweaking <code>era</code> parameters (this one's grown a bit since I started it). New {{t|era}} template is at the top of this page, doing infobox work on [[User:Stargazer/General Testing]].
*Other articles to maybe work on some day
** [[Cognitive Shadow]]
Just as matter and energy can be converted into each other, Investiture can be converted to matter or energy, and vice versa.{{wob ref|3544}} Like matter and energy, it can neither be created nor destroyed, only changed from one form to another.{{wob ref|1649}} Investiture thus adheres to the laws of thermodynamics, though, in the cosmere, there is a yet-unknown fourth law that relates to Adonalsium.{{wob ref|3544}}
though the phrases "manifestations of Investiture" and "forms of Investiture" are also used [to refer to Invested Arts].{{book ref|mb4|part=ars}}{{book ref|elantris|part=ars}}
 
''More detailed version cut from Realmatic Theory work''<br />
In addition to having ordinary mass and energy, the cosmere also has a magical power known as [[Investiture]]. Investiture is closely tied to the Spiritual Realm,{{wob ref|5610}}{{wob ref|3413}} which holds a vast reserve of Investiture,{{wob ref|7079}} but ultimately transcends the divisions between the three Realms.{{wob ref|5610}} Over time, Investiture will cycle between the Realms,{{wob ref|7079}}{{wob ref|11041}} but ultimately returns to the Spiritual Realm.{{wob ref|397}}{{book ref|mb6|28}}
 
Investiture follows many of the same laws of physics that ordinary mass and energy do. Just as [[wikipedia:mass–energy equivalence|mass and energy can be converted to each other]], so to can Investiture be converted to mass or energy, and vice versa.{{wob ref|4765}}{{wob ref|3544}} Once this equivalence is accounted for, the cosmere adheres to the [[wikipedia:laws of thermodynamics|laws of thermodynamics]],{{wob ref|3544}}{{wob ref|1649}}{{wob ref|5093}} though there is an additional fourth law that relates to [[Adonalsium]].{{wob ref|3544}} Like matter and energy, high concentrations of Investiture [[wikipedia:general relativity|curves space]], but it primarily affects the geometry of the Realms and brings them closer together rather than creating ordinary gravitational effects. At a certain point, this effect will cause a [[perpendicularity]] to form.{{wob ref|8920}} Similarly, high concentrations of Investiture also cause [[wikipedia:time dilation|time dilation]],{{wob ref|13425}} though it appears that far higher concentrations than those usually found in perpendicularities are needed for this effect to become noticeable.{{book ref|sa3|119}}{{book ref|mb2|58}} Investiture is [[wikipedia:quantization (physics)|quantized]] and has [[wikipedia:force carrier|force carriers]], though they act "very oddly."{{wob ref|3413}} Investiture also has a property that associates with specific Shards, though it is also still linked to Adonalsium.{{wob ref|8605}}{{wob ref|9385}}
