Did Adonalsium deliberately shatter itself?
Hmmm, good question! RAFO!
The gemstone [Gavilar] gives to Szeth in the beginning of the book [The Way of Kings], is that the gemstone that's spoken of in the epigraphs?
RAFO.
We know the Shattering was done on purpose. Is it having broken up into intents the only way that it could have shattered, or could it have actually shattered into like sixteen pieces pieces that all have the sixteen intents.
I'm going to RAFO this, because this is not a book i will write for many years and I do not want to start giving spoilers about it.
"Most important words" that Dalinar had to say, were they the Words of Radiance?
You're gonna have to Read And Find Out. That one's not answered yet.
Could a hypothetical shard of double power split itself into two different single power shards at will?
RAFO I'm afraid.
Could the mantle of Herald be passed to another person. Could they--
Read And Find Out, I'm afraid.
Is Rial from Bridge 13 a worldhopper?
I will go ahead and RAFO that for now...
Did Vasher seek the Nightwatcher?
RAFO.
Does that mean Rysn is now immortal?
Is a Dawnshard a Shard along the same lines as Odium/Honor or is it a combination of 4 of that type of shard? Or are Dawnshards entirely separate?
RAFO on most! But the Dawnshards predate the Shattering, so they're something other than traditional Shards. Similar, but distinct in some ways.
Can a Parshendi with the right mind set transform with an Unmade?
RAFO.
Is the silver on Threnody imbued with investiture? The presence of a silver knife in Stormlight leads me to believe Threnodoic Silver is actively different than average silver and Threnody's silver could be used off-world in a way - say - Sel's silver couldn't.
I'm RAFOing most questions about Threnody for multiple reasons. It's a RAFO you shouldn't read too much into, however.
Do Shards need to be based on the same planet to create the interactions that made Feruchemy possible?
If the Parshendi are not originally from Odium and are referred to as the Ancient Ones by spren, then would that make the original Parshendi, bonded to the Splinters that existed before Honor and Cultivation arrived, the Dawnsingers?
RAFO.
Silverlight is... old?
No, Khriss is old. *laughter*
I know Khriss is old--
Let's RAFO Silveright until I set something there. Here's the thing. It's weird.
Which eye did Gaz lose?
Which eye did Gaz lose? Did I go back and forth on that?
I have no idea.
Okay, that's a Peter. I thought it was the left eye but if i did it wrong… It's entirely possible. I have no idea. It's in my notes.
How did he lose it?
Well that is a RAFO! That is definitely a RAFO.
A nicrosil Feruchemist can store Investiture, could they potentially create something like a Shardblade?
All questions about storing Investiture are RAFOs for the foreseeable future. (Sorry.)
Is the surge Cohesion, that we haven't really seen much, strong axial, is that related to the fabrials for the half-shards?
Aha! Um, I'm gonna RAFO. It's not me not knowing the answer, it's me not knowing if I should say or not. I will RAFO that, because I don't want to get into that too much right now.
Do you want to build up Hoid to be a character like Randall Flagg?
RAFO
Harmony/Sazed says in Secret History that the Beyond is a place he can’t reach, is that true for all Shards that we've met so far or?
That's a RAFO.
Bronze is an alloy of Copper. Maybe the cloud Smokers gives is in actuality the complementary rhythm to nullify the rhythm from the metals they are in close proximity with
I have to RAFO, I'm afraid, but I like this direction of theorizing.
Okay so, also in Oathbringer, did Wit really speak into Shallan's mind when she was confronting the Heart of the Revel--is that what happened??
Eh, RAFO.
Can't you tell me if that's what he did? If that was him?
*teasing sound* Come on. I won't even tell you. You would have gotten similar RAFOs - that does not indicate any yes or no - about stuff in Mistborn that I eventually came around to.
Now that Bands of Mourning came out, and the Southern Scadrians. In Sixth of the Dusk, the people who show up, is that them? Because it sounds like the same technology...
…I've not announced it yet. But a lot of people are assuming that it was.
Well that's something, it's better than Read And Find Out. Thank you.
It is kind of a Read And Find Out though so if you want a card you can have one.
Is year one on the [Rosharan] calendar related to Vorinism in some way?
I would have to go look. I can't remember. I know it's in there.
For Jasnah, it seems like maybe a couple times it's been hinted that maybe she prefers women *inaudible*
Let's just have you Read on And Find Out on that one. There is-- Her book isn't 'til, like-- at the earliest, Book Eight. So, we've got a long ways to go before we're digging into Jasnah some more.
Suppose you had a full Feruchemist, who got enough Breath to reach the Fifth Heightening. What would happen if he started storing in atium?
Hehehe -- I'm going to RAFO that one.
In Way of Kings, Jasnah recommends to Shallan the Devotary of Sincerity. Their motto is "There is always something more to discover." That sounds very similar to our favorite Mistborn psychopath's saying; is Kelsier connected to that at all?
RAFO.
Where's Kaladin's old sergeant Tukks from? Is he still around?
I'm keeping more stories about Tukks in my back pocket, in case I need them, so this is a RAFO.
So Truthless are kind of pretty rare, right, in the Shin society?
Yes.
So how did they come by the [Honorblades] that Szeth's got?
They, historically, kept all of them.
Oh, ok. I wondered if that was the case. Interesting. Does that have anything to do with why they think stone is sacred?
You will find out more about that as time progresses.
What do painspren look like in the Cognitive Realm?
That's a RAFO.
How did Shallan open the Oathgate with a deadeye spren in the second book?
RAFO! That's all on that same sort of thing. Be asking yourself these questions.
What would a fully trained Seeker sense from Nightblood when it is influencing emotions?
RAFO!
How did Preservation create the Terris prophecies in the first place, to make them known to people?
I'm gonna RAFO that, just because it gets really sticky when I have to explain this exactly, and I'm gonna shy away from that right now.
Can you tell me who the herald is for the Truthwatches.
RAFO, sorry, good question.
How about one of the surges?
I am RAFO'ing the Truthwatchers entirely.
If Rysn's Dawnshard is about Change or Remaking or something like, how do we refer to it? The Dawnshard of Change? The Change Dawnshard? I am asking purely from a semantic standpoint.
I haven't honestly decided yet, Argent. I am playing with several themes for the Dawnshards even still.
It seemed from the way the mural was done in the book that you were implying that there are four Dawnshards, one for each four of the shards, considering the sun was split in four, then each quadrant was then further split into four more.
RAFO, I'm afraid. As I said somewhere else, this was written as it was deliberately--but also somewhat vague on purpose.
At the start of previous Desolations, how long would it take the Fused to get back after one of the Heralds broke?
I'll RAFO that for now. I'm gonna be digging into it. We will have some-- I'm just going to RAFO it.
Are the pools at the top of the Horneater peaks shardpools?
RAFO.
Humans on Scadrial have Investiture of both Preservation and Ruin inside of them.
Yes.
Feruchemically, does storing Investiture in Nicrosil store this connection to Ruin/Preservation/Harmony?
You are on the right track, and asking the right questions but RAFO.
Are the Shardblade practice guards... Are they made of aluminum?
Good question! RAFO!
I wondered how silver would differ from aluminum when it comes to interacting with Shades?
That one's a RAFO for now.
Which of the roles Hoid has played is your favorite? And will we be seeing him in Dalinar's flashbacks?
So which of the roles played by Hoid is my favorite. I would probably say Dust from Warbreaker. I just like-- That's the most true storyteller he's been, kind of based on oral storytelling tradition and things like that.
I can't tell you. You'll have to read and find out whether you'll find him in Dalinar's flashbacks or not.
Has Mraize ever Ascended?
RAFO. So it's not a yes or no. It's a yes or no or other.
What's a seon look like in the Cognitive Realm?
RAFO. Good question.
The assassin Liss. Have we seen her anywhere else?
RAFO. Sorry.
On the topic of aluminum, will we hear soon about how Rosharans know how to soulcast it? Was it natural on the planet and the source was depleted? Or was it brought over at some point in history?
Those are excellent questions, and a RAFO, unfortunately.
Have we seen any character connected in some way to actual Kelsier (era 2) in any of the Stormlight Archive books?
I'm going to RAFO that for now.
Is Dova is actually the Herald Battar.
Eh, RAFO. RAFO.
Will the Everstorm result in a influx of Radiants?
RAFO.
Which is your favorite Unmade?
RAFO. We'll see, I don't know if I have a favorite yet.
Would Rock be able to see the Cryptics?
Would Rock be able to see a Cryptic? That is a good question, you will have to see.
What made Vin so special?
RAFO.
