so i was on r/cosmere being lazy (as i do) and i saw a post speculating about SA era 2, more specifically book 10 and its start. The idea was somewhat along the lines of what if brandon started it with

"szeth son neturo hero of shinovar wore white on the day he was to kill a god."

It's a pretty good idea/theory and it DOES have some backing since we know that brandon likes symmetry, especially with starting lines and hes done something like it before in mistborn book 1

mistborn 1 starts with "ash fell from the sky," and when kelsier is going to fight the steel inquisitor he hits us with the

"dead and dying men collapsed on the cobblestone. skaa crowdedd the road prisnors cried out calling his na,e heat from a smoky sun burned the streets

and ash fell from the sky."

so i deffntly think he could and probably will do something like that my guess is that it will go something like this:

szeth son neturo savior of shinovar wore white on the day we were to kill a god. the white clothing was a Parsi tradition. it reminded him of a day long ago much like this. but this time. the stakes where much higher

It blows my mind that Hoid used Breaths to store memory. In Feruchemy, copper stores memory. I had no idea that breaths could be used that way, but apparently, Hoid did it.

Is it just a coincidence that in Allomancy, burning copper hides the use of Allomancy? Hoid has reason to hide and be generally sneaky. Has he been using his Breaths to cover up his use of various Investitures?
