Theory Index

A collection of cosmere theories from 17th Shard gathered here. For now, just a list - will be sorting them by category, author, etc as time allows.

Locations

• Sel
• Scadrial
• Nalthis
• Roshar
• Threnody
• Cosmere

Categories

• Realmatic (Magic system related)
• Plot (Story Event related)
• Character (Character Specific)
• World (Related to the premise or the worldbuilding)
• Joke (for joke theories)

Ideally I'd like to add an extra sub-category column for certain types of common theories (FTL, hemalurgy, compounding, surges, etc..), and also a column for some tags like 'important theory' or 'extremely good theory' or 'funny theory' or 'outdated and no longer applicable theory', etc.
