Shinovar seems more earthlike than the rest of Roshar; does this occur naturally or was it somehow changed to be that way?

Shinovar seems more earthlike than the rest of Roshar; does this occur naturally or was it somehow changed to be that way?
RAFO.
Why do Radiants have two Surges compared to the Fused's one? Is this because they have two Shards instead of just one? If this is true, would a Radiant spren corrupted have three?
Good questions, RAFO! But that's a "smart questions" RAFO.
If Khriss were to describe the Cognitive Anomaly to another Silverlight scholar, how would she do so?
She would RAFO you.
And then, is the Cognitive Anomaly either one of Nalthis's lagrange points or that another RAFO?
It's a RAFO. Everything about the Cognitive Anomaly is a RAFO. I'm sorry.
It was worth a shot.
It is an anomaly and that is all we're saying.
So, there's a whole lot of things that happen in a very short period of time when Dalinar brings the worlds together. "We killed you" from Odium. Who is "we" and who is "you"?
RAFO.
Could aluminum act as a sort of shield from other forms of Investiture? As in, could an aluminum Misting lashed to something burn aluminum and dispel the Stormlight?
RAFO.
If you fed a lerasium bead to an Aviar, would it become an Allomancer?
Oh, wow, what a great question! RAFO!
When Marsh and Sazed go to the Conventical of Seran, Marsh kind of tells Sazed, "You go do whatever you want, I gotta go do something, I'll be back." What was Marsh's purpose there? Why was he there?
I intend to do some Marsh stuff, from his viewpoint, eventually. I don't know if I'll ever get to it. There is actually something there. There is something that I intended to leave a place for me to play later on with. So the answer is a RAFO, but a legitimate RAFO. Not a "I'm trying to lead you on," or a "I don't feel like answering this right now."
I'm assuming there's going be be ten opposite orders to the Knights Radiant? Yes? No?
RAFO! That's big ol' RAFO!
Did the Red Scar, or Red Rip, whatever you want to call it, look the same pre-Shattering as it does now?
Taln's Scar, or the Red Rip, it's on the map inside [Arcanum Unbounded] did it look the same... before and after the Shattering of Adonalsium? RAFO.
What would happen if a copper-compounder would compound copper?
A lot of people have been asking that one. I don't know why they've all suddenly latched onto it, but you are going to get RAFO-ed, but I will give you a card. *laughter* I have reserve something for later books.
I had a question regarding the sixteen Shards... If they are, or when they are reformed to Adonalsium, will it have to be one person holding all sixteen Shards?
That's a RAFO. I'm gonna RAFO that partially because there's not even-- who knows if it can all be recombined.
So what is Vasher's pre-god name?
Umm… That's a RAFO.
Is Tanavast dead?
That is a RAFO.
My other question has to do with the honorblade in Words of Radiance, Syl thinks they are a monstrosity, is that because the Heralds broke their oaths?
You will have to find out. But-- Yeah that's a RAFO, but you might-- there are certain lines regarding that that people have misinterpreted before.
When Shallan asked Jasnah about the Soulcasting with the jam, was Jasnah intentionally trying to reverse-assassinate Kabsal?
RAFO, but more I just need to make sure I look at the details before I can answer that one.
Is the Nameless Angel supposed to be the same one referenced in the official Magic story A Gaze Blank and Pitiless? If so, do you know if the story team is planning on addressing how she came back to life?
You're speaking of the fourth sister, the WB one? The team asked me to RAFO this, meaning leave it ambiguous for now.
Would Hemalurgy work on an AI?
RAFO.
What happens if you become an atium savant?
I've RAFO'd that in the past, so I'll RAFO it now
He RAFO'd any questions about where the Shardpools [Perpendicularities] are.
You've stated that the sapphire in the knife that Moash used to kill Jezrien was specifically for Jezrien. Was it that for actual mechanical reasons, or more of a symbolic gesture?
RAFO
Was Jezrien sent to Braize when Moash killed him? Or is he gone?
RAFO.
Eshonai mentions that the Stormfather (rather, the Rider of Storms to her) was one of the spren who betrayed the listeners for the humans.
Was the Rider of Storms around before Honor and Cultivation arrived on Roshar?
Is the Stormfather composed partly of Cultivation's Investiture?
RAFO. :)
Do all the original Shard holders come from the same planet? Were there world hoppers prior to the shattering?
RAFO (sorry.)
So, is shardplate created as a result of a spren bond?
RAFO.
Are there any underwater societies or cities on Roshar?
That will be a RAFO. *slides card across table*
Okay, so if we spiked a Listener with Feruchemical Nicrosil, could he store that spren and lose their form, and then bond another spren and then switch them?
I'm gonna give you your third RAFO, because he's already got two. In part, because I don't wanna give spoilers for Oathbringer, and this answer could spoil some little bits of that.
What is the Command of Vivenna's sword?
Uhhhhh... RAFO.
If someone created another Awakened sword, just like Nightblood, with the same process, and then brought it to fight Nightblood the same way, would they destroy each other?
RAFO!
Does Stormlight go into the Cognitive Realm during a highstorm?
RAFO.
What shattered the Shattered Plains?
RAFO.
What does First of the Sun look like on the Cognitive Realm? I think it’s a whole bunch of grubs, or worms.
*laughs* That's read and find out. C’mon you know I’m not gonna reveal Cognitive Realm on the other ones! You know I am keeping that one only in my head.
Question about timelines—Was Honor splintered BEFORE or AFTER the Day of Recreance?
You know, I'm going to RAFO that for now.
What are the titles/bynames/epithets for Moelach, Nergaoul and Ba-Ado-Mishram?
RAFO.
How effective would a Leecher be at draining Breath?
They could be fairly effective.
How significant would the difference be between Breath and Stormlight?
That, I'll RAFO for now, because we're actually getting the actual numbers. We have certain people working on a project for that.
I've got a more hypothethical question.
Iron stores weight. Pewter stores strength.
What if you both make yourself very light and very strong***? Maybe even throw in burning pewter as well; how does it all work together?
Maybe I should throw this over to askscience..
I have some ideas, and have done some research, but I'm not ready to comment on this yet. I plan to use it in a future book.
But if you do come up with some info from askscience, I'd love to see it.
We know aluminium blocks Investiture. Does silver block anti-Investiture?
So, silver has its own weird mechanics that I'm slowly exploring in the cosmere. That's not an answer to your question, I'm sorry.
Regarding Vasher... what was his name before he Returned?
That is a RAFO, but just a minor one... Vasher's past is a factor in Nightblood the book, and so I'm staying away from all answers about that.
From what is described in the end [of Dawnshard], are all the forms of Investiture derived in some way from one of the Dawnshards?
RAFO. (Sorry.)
What metal is Nightblood made out of?
Uh, RAFO.
Speaking of Way of Kings, when Shallan gets to Kharbranth, she sees two people in trenchcoats. Is that anyone spectacular or important or anyone like that?
RAFO.
That's what I figured. I was hoping.
There might be things in that scene. I won't confirm or deny any specific instances of them.
Who is Lady Truth?
Well, who do you think Lady Truth is?
Tindwyl is who I hope it is. *long silence* Why is that a secret?
Because there are certain things I am not sure how much more I want to say in the books, or how much things-- So it's not that it needs to be a secret or something big and mysterious is happening, but it's because if I speak now I risk undermining things that I might do and I don't want to risk that even if there's a decent chance that whatever I say won't have anything to do with it. So a lot of times my RAFO's are "I know the answer to this, it's not a big secret, but I am not ready to just pin it down". Does that make sense? You've already pried a couple important things out of me so...
Once we do get to Dalinar's flashbacks
Will we get to learn his wife's name?
Is his wife's name one that astute readers would recognize?
Will we learn why he want to the Nightwatcher - and the boon and curse he received?
You had to know I'd RAFO this. :)
If you tap Connection in one area, for location, would that remove your Connection to your original place, where you're actually from?
Um, RAFO.
If Shardblades were spren, then what is Shardplate?
Good question. It's a great question.
And you're not going to say are you?
I'm not going to answer you.
Does Odium control/manipulate/possess Trell? As a pseudo-<counter?> philosophy on the modern era?
RAFO.
Was Nohadon a bondsmith?
RAFO! Good question.
*inaudible*
So, I'll RAFO that but it's more of a RAFO in the sort of, uh I think you can theorize on this and come up with a ...
Will we know why Dalinar has a "warm feeling" sometimes? More specifically, in Oathbringer Hoid calls (covertly) Adonalsium's Power a "God's Light". Is it the same Light Dalinar senses?
RAFO
Did Lightday exist before humans arrived at Roshar exactly as it is now, a day without rain in the middle of every other Weeping?
Hm. I'll RAFO this, as I might flashback to this time in the second half of The Stormlight Archive.
