If a Hoed goes to the shardpool in the mountains, what happens to them in the Cognitive Realm?
Brandon Sanderson
What do you think happens to them?
Titan Arum
I want to say that the IRE, but I know they’re not because they’re really, really, really, really old.
Brandon Sanderson
I have...
Questioner 2
I have a theory that that’s how you get seons.
Brandon Sanderson
Here’s the thing, here’s the thing, what have I said about the Cognitive Realm on Sel?
Titan Arum
That it’s really, really dangerous.
Brandon Sanderson
Yes. Any guesses why?
Titan Arum
Because the Shards are Splintered so all the power of the Dor is kind of sloshing around and it’s basically like a highstorm there.
Brandon Sanderson
So, what would happen if someone went into there through the shardpool?
Titan Arum
It’s probably not as good as they think it is?
Brandon Sanderson
No.
Titan Arum
Would they get splintered like that?
Brandon Sanderon
No they’d just...
Titan Arum
Would they get ripped apart?
Brandon Sanderon
Yeah. That’s why it’s really dangerous.
Titan Arum
Ouch.
Questioner

Questioner
So when the Hoed or the Elantrians go in...
Brandon Sanderon
For the...let’s just say they’re cast into a very dangerous environment without any preparation for it.
Questioner
So how’d the Ire get there?
Questioner
They have gone before or they may have been properly prepared.
Brandon Sanderon
There’s some theories, that are theories that could totally be the case. Or you could theorize others as well.
