Questioner
I can't take credit for this, because it is a friend's question, but he has this little theory that your more quiet and reserved characters end up being super important or just interesting characters somehow and he has this theory that Dabbid from Kings is like a worldhopper that just went there and like "I'm just going to stay quiet and watch what's going on."
Brandon Sanderson
The question is: Is Dabbid from The Way of Kings, who you may not quite remember, he is the bridgeman who is very quiet and displays some very strong signs of PTSD, and things like this, even though he was healed. Is it-- Yeah, what's going on with him. And that is definitely a RAFO. But it's not a RAFO-- Like sometimes Read And Find Out means "I'm going to reveal it eventually", sometimes it means "I don't want to crush any fans' theories" and I won't tell you which one it is until the end of the series...
Kahlani
Did Adonalsium have a gemheart?
Brandon Sanderson
RAFO, good question.
Questioner
So in the Rithmatist... The constable had acid wash over him and it destroyed the thing that possessed him. The professor who got acid dumped on him did not have the thing expelled. Why the difference?
Brandon Sanderson
You will find out in the next book.
Questioner
Ah, got another read and find out.
Brandon Sanderson
Yeah.
Questioner
Lore question. Did <which gem> *inaudible* get swapped?
Brandon Sanderson
Ha ha. RAFO. Sorry. Good question.
Iridium Savant
Is there only one perpendicularity on a planet per Shard Invested there, or can say Scadrial have more than two (natural) at a time? (Old School Scadrial when there were two separate shards)
Brandon Sanderson
RAFO
Lightweaver Gaz
At one point in Shadows of Self, Wayne goes on a canal ride with a boatman named Red. Any chance that could be the same Red that works for Shallan?
Brandon Sanderson
RAFO
vanahian
Is possible that I'm overthinking about it but in Oathbringer, in Puuli's Interlude he spoke about what seems a new kind of faction-to-be in Roshar. Given how Puuli talks about them one can think he is describing the Knight Radiants we know. But he also mentions that, "They will come from the Origin," and that them are, "The sailors lost on an infinite sea." My question then is... Are they direct descendants of the original humans that migrated from Ashyn eons ago? Yeah, I know that in some way all are descendants of those humans but my question, to be clear, is if they are more Odium inclined for example. An Odium-winning-card.
Brandon Sanderson
RAFO.
szeth-is-my-son-son
Can every Cognitive Shadow be affected by silver?
Brandon Sanderson
RAFO! Good question!
Questioner
Are the Skybreakers going to go after Adolin for what he did?
Brandon Sanderson
You're going to have to read and find out.

Who was responsible for getting Vin's bronze earring plated "silver"?
Brandon Sanderson
RAFO
vanahian
Any news you can share with us about the rewriting of Aether of the Night novel? I suppose that if continues inside the cosmere that story will have its own Shardworld and its own magic system... If so, can you tell us the Shardworld's name and something about its Investiture?
Brandon Sanderson
Can't say anything right now. So RAFO.
Questioner
Are Khriss and Nazh still working together?
Brandon Sanderson
RAFO.
Questioner
Is Handerwym a duralumin misting?
Brandon Sanderson
Haha. RAFO. We'll see if I do anything with Handerwym in the future. I'm not sure.
MadnessLemon
So at this point we either know or can infer the opinions of most of the Radiants spren on bonding humans, but I was a little curious on the exact position of Lightspren. We know there's some who are against it, considering Ico's opinion, but is that representative of the entire people, or just a significant number? Is Timbre the only one willing to bond someone, or is she one of a group of rebels like Syl?
Brandon Sanderson
This is a RAFO for now.
mathota123
Dilafs wife, did the Elantrian who "healed" her know what Dilaf was?
Brandon Sanderson
Rafo.
Questioner
Who is the oldest person in the Cosmere?
Brandon Sanderson
I've been asked this before, and I think I RAFO'ed it. Frost is up there. But I don't think Frost is actually the oldest.
Questioner
So to be determined?
Brandon Sanderson
RAFO.
Questioner
Is Odium gonna make Gavinor his champion?
Brandon Sanderson
I'm gonna say complete RAFO on anything about who the champion is.
Sorana
(paraphrased)
I've got a last question from a friend of mine. Could the light at the end of Oathbringer have been seen by another Surgebinder?
Brandon Sanderson
(paraphrased)
RAFO.
Sorana
(paraphrased)
I expected that.
Questioner
Sazed. Is he gonna appear throughout other-- more of your books?
Brandon Sanderson
Read And Find Out.
callumke
(paraphrased)
How do the Roshar natives know the name of the cosmere?
Brandon Sanderson
(paraphrased)
RAFO.
How much power does a Breath and a freshly charged Hemalurgic spike have relative to each other?
This is a RAFO. I don't want to be pinned down on this one quite yet.
Mason Wheeler
(paraphrased)
All right. And related to that, sometimes some little concepts kind of... cross worlds. When Miles died, who was talking there? Him, or someone else?
Brandon Sanderson
(paraphrased)
Wow, that's a really excellent question. And I'm afraid I'm going to have to RAFO that.
dvoraen
Is the core principle of Voidbinding consumption and reconstitution? If so, is that what Enlightening does, therefore making it a fundamental if not the first level of Voidbinding?
Brandon Sanderson
RAFO.
Hessi's Ward
Were the Sons of Honor a splinter group of the Envisagers?
Brandon Sanderson
RAFO, but let's just say you have the relationship backward.
Hessi's Ward
What about the Selay Envisagers Kaladin saw while flying with the storm?
Brandon Sanderson
RAFO.
William Anderson
Can "modern" (as in Adolin's) Shardplate be summoned similar to how "dead" Shardblades (as in Oathbringer) can be?
Brandon Sanderson
RAFO.
Truthwatcher_17.5
Is Trell a Shard of Adonalsium?
Brandon Sanderson
I will RAFO that one too, I'm afraid.
Questioner
If you used Hemalurgy to steal Allomancy, Harmony gets some kind of insight into the person that was spiked? He can talk to them? And with enough spikes hear their thoughts?
Brandon Sanderson
Mmhmm. Yes. With enough spikes, take them over.
Questioner
So if you use a spike to say, steal Breath, would Endowment?
Brandon Sanderson
I'll RAFO that for now. Good question though, I haven't been asked that yet.
Questioner
If you stole Breath, would Harmony still keep the same effect?
Brandon Sanderson
That's why I'm going to give a RAFO.
The Young Pyromancer
Is Gaz's other eye the same color?
Brandon Sanderson
Gaz's eye that was put out? I'll RAFO that. That's a good question!
NeedsAdjustment
Is Hoid's flute actually [the Lord Ruler]'s?
Brandon Sanderson
RAFO!
Questioner
Will Kaladin find a love interest in Book Four before he dies in Book Five?
Brandon Sanderson
RAFO.
Phantine
Still not sure what the multiple mist spirits were that warded off Marsh in the deleted version of the ending - I've heard speculation they were somehow kandra (justifying the mistwraith name). Do you remember what was going on there?
By the way, the knife leras is carrying around. Would people call that a shard blade ;)?
Brandon Sanderson
What a nice, heaping pile of RAFOs you have there, Phantine.
Herowannabe
Hoid has Lerasium and breaths, Does Hoid have anything from Sel? Soul stamps perhaps?
Brandon Sanderson
RAFO. :)
LoreWard52
Are there a set number of palaces for the Returned in Hallendren? Are any ever vacant or are there a set number of Returned?
Brandon Sanderson
RAFO
Pagerunner
Wit says an expression, "Speak your fears at a mirror when you get home tonight." I've never heard that. Is that a real-world thing? Or is that, like, a Yolish thing?
Brandon Sanderson
Yeah, that's not a real-world thing.
Pagerunner
Any clues to what's going on with that?
Brandon Sanderson
No, I won't give any clues. I'll RAFO that.
XS-Terrain
What is the difference between the Surge of Tension and Cohesion?
Brandon Sanderson
...Sorry, that's a RAFO. We're gonna have to wait until we get some Radiants that are doing these things.
Questioner
I'm gonna take a stab at Kaladin's fourth oath. Is it, "I will not feel bad about slaughtering my enemies?"
Brandon Sanderson
*RAFO card*
...You know I'm not going to answer that. But I tell you what, it's been recorded by the fan sites, everything I say, so if you're right you're on record. But I'm not going to tell you.
Wetlander
Do Cryptics have the same general dislike of honorspren as Syl has towards Cryptics?
Brandon Sanderson
RAFO!!
Questioner
Question about Hoid--
Brandon Sanderson
Okay. RAFO. *laughter* No, no, go ahead…
Questioner
When Hoid said that Ivory wasn't capable of harming him, is that related to his stated difficulty in harming others?
Brandon Sanderson
RAFO.
Bort
Do Geranid and Ashir have anything to do with the creation of new Shardplate?
Brandon Sanderson
RAFO.
macros
Did the Knights Radiants create the Shattered Plains?
Brandon Sanderson
That’s a RAFO.
Questioner
Can you use a Divine Breath to Awaken a Lifeless?
Brandon Sanderson
RAFO.
Argent
Location of Shardpools: are they determined by the Shard, by the planet, or something else?
Brandon Sanderson
RAFO. *laughter* RAFO. We end on a RAFO.
ParadoxicalZen
Can you give us the intent of the hide and survive Shard, or as an alternative give us the name of another Shardholder?
Brandon Sanderson
No. I gave you something good, you got a good one.
Steeldancer
And then the final question. At the beginning of Words of Radiance, the assassin Liss, is she Chana?
Brandon Sanderson
*Evil laugh* I will RAFO that. Sorry!
Questioner
In Warbreaker, is the picture that Lightsong saves the same picture that Kaladin finds in Celebrant?
Brandon Sanderson
*Presumably gives RAFO card*
Weltall
(paraphrased)
I asked if Nazh's knife didn't glow to Kelsier's eyes because the metal wasn't from Scadrial generally or whether it was a metal with some particular property.
Brandon Sanderson
(paraphrased)
RAFO.
ccstat
Would Mraize have recognized mugshots of the "thugs" who accosted Jasnah and Shallan in WoK?
Brandon Sanderson
RAFO
Questioner
Is Adonalsium's God Metal aluminum?
Brandon Sanderson
RAFO.
Argent
Why is it that Allomancers and Feruchemists get either one or all of the powers? Radiants / Surgebinders being limited to two Surges makes sense, because it depends on the type of spren they bond with, but Allomancers?
Brandon Sanderson
I'm not ready to answer this one yet, I'm afraid. So it's a RAFO.
Argent
Fair enough. Is this something we'll see explored in future (far future?) books, or will we need to bug you about it during signings / AMAs every few years?
Brandon Sanderson
It will explored in far future books, most likely.
tobar14
Who was holding Szeth's oathstone when he was ordered to assassinate King Gavilar?
Brandon Sanderson
