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etc..), and also a column for some tags like 'important theory' or 'extremely good theory' or 'funny theory' or 'outdated and no longer applicable theory', etc.
