Questioner
Does Syl hate Dalinar's Shardblade specifically, or is it Shardblades in general? Or only specific ones?
Brandon Sanderson
Uhh... yeah, okay. There's no way for me to answer that in full without RAFOing, so I'll just RAFO. There are lots of answers in [Words of Radiance].
Questioner
The person who meets the person who gets Epic powers, has he become an Epic?
Brandon Sanderson
I have no idea who you're talking about. Plug your ears again guys. Ask it very quietly.
Questioner
The main character.
Brandon Sanderson
David. Has he become an Epic? Well, so, so...that's a RAFO.
Sciencetor2
I am subscribed to the, "Doomslug is the hyperdrive," theory. Can you confirm or deny?
Brandon Sanderson
I cannot confirm or deny.
Chaos
Is Endowment's holder female?
Brandon Sanderson
RAFO. :)
Did Amaram ever find out who the Shardbearer that Kaladin killed was?
Yes.
Was it Shallan's brother, by the way?
RAFO.
NewbSombrero
Are Shardblades Splinters? If not, are they related to Shards in some other way?
Brandon Sanderson
RAFO. More to come.
Satsuoni
Are Truthspren originally sentient, or do they gain/regain sentience from a bond, like Syl?
Brandon Sanderson
RAFO for Words of Radiance, where a lot of these questions will find answers.
Ghodicu
The pocket companion states that there are three spren that can bond a person to make them into a bondsmith, the Stormfather being one of them. As far as I recall the books implied that the number was low, and implied heavily that it was around that number in an epigraph, but didn't actually have a straight confirmation. So, should I take that as canon?
Brandon Sanderson
Yes, you can take that as canon. They came to me for that information.
yahasgaruna
Sweet. I guess it hasn't been canonized which three spren these are? I seem to recall that the prevailing theory on 17th Shard was that Nightwatcher was one of them, and the third was that weird spren with too many faces that Axies the Collector looked at in the tWoK interlude.
Brandon Sanderson
RAFO. :)
Kurkistan
Is [the Terriswoman worldhopper] the nurse in Warbreaker?
Brandon Sanderson
RAFO.
Questioner 1
When Sazed is fighting Marsh he hears a voice telling him about his rings, in his head.
Brandon Sanderson
Mhm.
Questioner 1
Whose voice is that? Can-- Can I make some gueses?
Brandon Sanderson
Sure.
Questioner 1
Is it Kelsier?
Questioner 2
*Brandon hands RAFO card?* What does that mean? *laughing*
Brandon Sanderson
That means I'm not gonna answer that.
William Anderson
Does Khriss write the Ars Arcanum?
Brandon Sanderson
RAFO.
Truthwatcher_17.5
Does the Fourth Ideal of Knights Radiant for Windrunners go something like "I will forgive myself for those I've failed to protect"?
Brandon Sanderson
I will put you on the record for having guessed that, but you won't find the answer until a Windrunner is capable of figuring it out.
Argent
I've been listening to the Graphic Audio The Hero of Ages and just got to the point where Vin meets with Slowswift. While the meeting itself revealed nothing knew, the events after it made me wonder about something. When Vin leaves Slowswift, she burns her bronze to check whether the informant is an Allomancer, and then heads off to meet with Hoid - where, of course, something makes her turn away. Was she still burning bronze at that time? Was Hoid maybe manipulating Investiture in a way unfamiliar to Vin, so her bronze alerted her of something, but because it was such a foreign experience to her, she didn't recognize it for what it was?
Brandon Sanderson
I have to RAFO this one. It's been hard not to spill the beans here, as it's such a small thing, but it has important ramifications. You will have an answer eventually, I promise.
T.T
Are Kaladin's parents still alive, and if so, are they actually mad at him?
Brandon Sanderson
Yes, they are still alive. RAFO.
Wetlander
(paraphrased)
One question I did ask Brandon, though, was whether Ym was an Edgedancer.
Brandon Sanderson
(paraphrased)
We both acknowledged that with the healing thing, he had to be either an Edgedancer or a Truthwatcher, of course. He pointed out that Ym's spren doesn't look at all like Wyndle.
Wetlander
(paraphrased)
Which I countered by saying that I thought the Ym's spren manifested the way Wyndle would if you couldn't see the Cognitive Realm.
Brandon Sanderson
(paraphrased)
He just smiled... and said something like, "I'm going to RAFO that. You're very wise, and I put the description in for a reason, but I'm going to RAFO for now."
XS-Terrain
Do the riots in Kholinar have to do with the Thrill, and is there an Unmade centered there?
Brandon Sanderson
...That's a RAFO.
Questioner
So, in Steelheart, if you were going to have an Epic be good, who would it be?
Brandon Sanderson
If I were going to have an Epic be good in Steelheart, which one would it be? That it as big ol' R-A-F-O, which stands for Read And Find Out because I will talk about that through the course of the books. So you need to read Firefight, okay?
Darkarma
Can a Nahel bonded spren safely worldhop with their bondmate?
Brandon Sanderson
RAFO! Book 3 gives some clues.
Can Knights Radiant of one Order see the spren of someone from another Order?
RAFO.
Questioner
If the spren turn into any weapon how come all the dead spren are Shardblades?
Brandon Sanderson
Good question.
Questioner
Read And Find Out?
Brandon Sanderson
It is a Read And Find Out.
SandersonLover1
Is it correct that both the continents of Mokia and Nalhalla are located in the Pacific Ocean?
Besides that, any plan for a map in the re-releases?
Brandon Sanderson
Re-releases will have a world map included. So your answers will indeed be answered then!
Questioner
Dalinar, his memory issues, are they his boon or his curse?
Brandon Sanderson
You will actually find out. That's coming. I’m not going to tell you that. You've got a whole flashback sequence dealing with this sort of stuff.
Questioner
At the end of Words of Radiance, Hoid is sitting there talking to some cremlings. And I was wondering, is he talking to one of the Dysian Aimians?
Brandon Sanderson
*laughs and motions for Joel to hold up the RAFO sign*
Dancingedge
What exactly is needed to make a motivator? In Firefight they operated on Oblivion to build the bomb, yet people still trade with any amount of Epic cells. Does the amount simply relate to power or is there something else?
Brandon Sanderson
This is covered in detail in book three. I've been pretty sneaky about some of this setup, on purpose.
Zas
There's this crazy off the wall theory that Parshendi are dead people brought back to life.
Brandon Sanderson
Interesting. There will be Parshendi viewpoints in the second book, and you will be able to see a lot more of that.
Questioner
So, I was curious if the Alethi were always-- like, if there was a time where there wasn't a segregation between lighteyes and darkeyes.
Brandon Sanderson
Yes, that did exist.
Questioner
...How did the separation occur?
Brandon Sanderson
There are some clues in [Oathbringer] and in the last book. It has to do with Knights Radiant and Surgebinding and things like that. It's a part RAFO. It's pretty guessable. There's nothing--
Are the Parshendi of Honor?
RAFO.
Questioner
If Vasher is on Roshar where the hell is Vivenna?
Brandon Sanderson
OOOOOH that’s a RAFO!
HolkorS
Do Shardblades go to the Spiritual Realm when they haven’t been summoned?
Brandon Sanderson
The answer is in future books.
Questioner
Do Parshendi have gemhearts?
Brandon Sanderson
Excellent question. Which I will RAFO.
Questioner
In, I believe it was, Well of Ascension, when Hoid-- Vin was going to talk to Hoid and get information but she sensed something.
Brandon Sanderson
Yes, she did.
Questioner
Can you reveal anything about that.
Brandon Sanderson
Nope!
Questioner
Okay.
Brandon Sanderson
But you can have a RAFO card... Do you have a theory?
Questioner
No, I don't.
Kurkistan
Spidey-sense.
Brandon Sanderson
The clues are all there. They're very obscure.
Argent/Kurkistan
*theorize*
Brandon Sanderson
*mock-annoyed* Stop theorizing! I shouldn't have said anything.
callumke
(paraphrased)
Is Shallan's memory a Surge?
Brandon Sanderson
(paraphrased)
I want to wait for the right opportunity before revealing more surges.
tganchero
(paraphrased)
Did the mistress from the interlude in book 1 destroy the Shalash statue on the night of Gavilar's death?
Brandon Sanderson
(paraphrased)
Yes, and also all the other ones that we've seen, including the one in Shallan's vision in Words of Radiance.
tganchero
(paraphrased)
Is the mistress Shalash?
Brandon Sanderson
(paraphrased)
RAFO.
Questioner
Is there an odiumspren?
Brandon Sanderson
You will find out what there is.
Kurkistan
Could a Feruchemist manipulate their identity such that they could make a metalmind that anyone could tap?
Brandon Sanderson
Ah... RAFO.
Kurkistan
Okay; could they manipulate their identity such that they could pull Breaths out of something that somebody else Awakened?
Brandon Sanderson
Ah... ahahah, Awakened, oh yeah... That one's going to be harder, but you're thinking along-- You're thinking with portals. *smiles* Do you know what that means.
Kurkistan
Yes, I know what it means--
Brandon Sanderson
You're starting to think with portals.
Kurkistan
I'm thinking with portals, okay, thank you.
Brandon Sanderson
Yes. In other words you're wrapping your head around the way that the magic system is working, so.
Argent
That's so excellent.
Questioner
In the third trilogy of Mistborn, when they do space travel. If space travel possible with members of Scadrial be able to go to other places in the cosmere?
Brandon Sanderson
The answer is, "You'll have to see!"
Questioner
What does Glys look like?
Brandon Sanderson
...Ummmm, RAFO. *smiles* Looks like a big RAFO.
Questioner
If Adonalsium was whole, would there be other powers in the cosmere that could threaten it?
Brandon Sanderson
RAFO. But I would say the fact that Adonalsium was Shattered answers that question, itself.
What is/was Endowment's gender? Is Endowment the same being as Austre (making him male)?
RAFO.
Questioner
The dark orb in the Stormlight prologue, is that native to Roshar? Or could it be from somewhere else?
Brandon Sanderson
I'm gonna explain what that is in the next book, so I'm going to RAFO that.
sheesania
You've said before that Kelsier hung around in the Cognitive Realm after dying and continued to interfere with events going on in Scadrial - talking to Spook, using Preservation's power, etc. You've even implied that Kelsier is STILL hanging around and meddling in the Wax & Wayne era. So my question is - did he CHOOSE to stay in the Cognitive Realm instead of passing on? Or is something forcing him to stay there?
Brandon Sanderson
This will be revealed before too much longer. I've been keeping it under my hat for a long time.
Dragon13
I was wondering, the point of views for the prologues *photo pause* will we ever see one from Gavilar's point of view?
Brandon Sanderson
That's a big ol' RAFO. Because I want it to be surprising to see who you get each book.
Argent
(paraphrased)
Did David get Steelheart's absolutely correct, or was it just close enough to allow him to destroy Steelheart?
Brandon Sanderson
(paraphrased)
It was absolutely correct. This is something David and Reckoners will actually discuss in Firefight. The second book will reveal much more about the Epics' weaknesses, and you will find out that there is actually a pattern to them, even though everyone thinks it's random.
Argent
(paraphrased)
Are weaknesses somehow related to things, events, or phenomena the Epics feared, or hated, or disliked before they turned Epic?
Brandon Sanderson
(paraphrased)
RAFO, second book. This is the exact question people - and David - are asking in the second book. Good question though.
Questioner
Kaladin comes to make a Shardspear and everything, but why were all the Blades left behind by the Radiants, Blades?
Brandon Sanderson
RAFO. That's a good question.
mail-mi
Is Nightblood's sheath made out of aluminum?
Brandon Sanderson
That is an excellent question that nobody has asked me yet! Um...I will RAFO that.
mail-mi
Oooh, I get a card. I got the card.
Brandon Sanderson
That is an excellent question.
Zeke.0
We've seen that it's possible to bond multiple Shardblades, what about multiple spren?
Brandon Sanderson
RAFO!
Mysty
(paraphrased)
Is Baxil's Mistress destroying statues of the Herald Shalash?
Brandon Sanderson
(paraphrased)
Yes. Actually in the prologue her statue is missing because Baxil's mistress came through.
Mysty
(paraphrased)
Is Baxil's mistress Shalash?
Brandon Sanderson
(paraphrased)
I'm not going to answer that.
Questioner
I currently have a pet theory--
Brandon Sanderson
Oh yeah? What is it?
Questioner
That... there's a-- That there was-- Whatever the fourth Shard that Odium [Splintered]-- People-- The people who founded Threnody were--
Brandon Sanderson
So you should read Khriss' introductions to the worlds in the Cosmere Collection.
