Stormlightsong Posted January 9, 2023 Report Share Posted January 9, 2023 we know that verdant spore eaters sprout verdant to protect them, but what about the others? here's my thoughts: roseite: roseite grows off them to form a protective shield zephyr: wind blows anything dangerous away crimson: spikes jut out to kill threats midnight: midnight monsters form to protect them sunlight: heat explodes out of them to burn incoming threats 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormtide_Leviathan Posted January 9, 2023 Report Share Posted January 9, 2023 Yeah those all seem reasonable. Seeing other spore eaters would be cool, but I doubt we're seeing too much more of Lumar sadly and aethers elsewhere seem to work a little different. (Also side note- I expected the Sorceress to be a Midnight spore-eater who managed to control her infection.) 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly I would be so bummed if Brandon introduced this super cool world, and then kind of did nothing with it. There’s so much potential here, and I want to see all the possibilities! I certainly think Tress’ story is over, but I just want another story set here, perhaps even just a slightly lower stakes one. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m hoping once we get to more space age cosmere we have books set on multiple worlds and Lumar can be a secondary or tertiary setting there. 7 hours ago, Stormtide_Leviathan said: (Also side note- I expected the Sorceress to be a Midnight spore-eater who managed to control her infection.) I had assumed this too but then the curses made me think Old Magic. Was not expecting Elantrian. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wouldn't surprise me if aetherbound function similarly to the spore eaters, but with a better measure of control. The verdant spore eater appears to be involuntary. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crow is said to have lived much longer than she should have, so maybe her repression of the aether allowed her to live longer. Maybe someone could use the aether's more actively but at the cost of a low lifespan. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
