Did Adonalsium have a gemheart?
RAFO, good question.
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?
You will find out in the next book.
Ah, got another read and find out.
Yeah.
Lore question. Did <which gem> *inaudible* get swapped?
Ha ha. RAFO. Sorry. Good question.
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)
RAFO
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?
RAFO
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.
RAFO.
Can every Cognitive Shadow be affected by silver?
RAFO! Good question!
Are the Skybreakers going to go after Adolin for what he did?
You're going to have to read and find out.
Who was responsible for getting Vin's bronze earring plated "silver"?
RAFO
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?
Can't say anything right now. So RAFO.
Are Khriss and Nazh still working together?
RAFO.
Is Handerwym a duralumin misting?
Haha. RAFO. We'll see if I do anything with Handerwym in the future. I'm not sure.
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?
This is a RAFO for now.
Dilafs wife, did the Elantrian who "healed" her know what Dilaf was?
Rafo.
Who is the oldest person in the Cosmere?
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.
So to be determined?
RAFO.
Is Odium gonna make Gavinor his champion?
I'm gonna say complete RAFO on anything about who the champion is.
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?
RAFO.
I expected that.
Sazed. Is he gonna appear throughout other-- more of your books?
Read And Find Out.
How do the Roshar natives know the name of the cosmere?
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.
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?
Wow, that's a really excellent question. And I'm afraid I'm going to have to RAFO that.
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?
RAFO.
Were the Sons of Honor a splinter group of the Envisagers?
RAFO, but let's just say you have the relationship backward.
What about the Selay Envisagers Kaladin saw while flying with the storm?
RAFO.
Can "modern" (as in Adolin's) Shardplate be summoned similar to how "dead" Shardblades (as in Oathbringer) can be?
RAFO.
Is Trell a Shard of Adonalsium?
I will RAFO that one too, I'm afraid.
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?
Mmhmm. Yes. With enough spikes, take them over.
So if you use a spike to say, steal Breath, would Endowment?
I'll RAFO that for now. Good question though, I haven't been asked that yet.
If you stole Breath, would Harmony still keep the same effect?
That's why I'm going to give a RAFO.
Is Gaz's other eye the same color?
Gaz's eye that was put out? I'll RAFO that. That's a good question!
Is Hoid's flute actually [the Lord Ruler]'s?
RAFO!
Will Kaladin find a love interest in Book Four before he dies in Book Five?
RAFO.
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 ;)?
What a nice, heaping pile of RAFOs you have there, Phantine.
Hoid has Lerasium and breaths, Does Hoid have anything from Sel? Soul stamps perhaps?
RAFO. :)
Are there a set number of palaces for the Returned in Hallendren? Are any ever vacant or are there a set number of Returned?
RAFO
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?
Yeah, that's not a real-world thing.
Any clues to what's going on with that?
No, I won't give any clues. I'll RAFO that.
What is the difference between the Surge of Tension and Cohesion?
...Sorry, that's a RAFO. We're gonna have to wait until we get some Radiants that are doing these things.
I'm gonna take a stab at Kaladin's fourth oath. Is it, "I will not feel bad about slaughtering my enemies?"
*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.
Do Cryptics have the same general dislike of honorspren as Syl has towards Cryptics?
RAFO!!
Question about Hoid--
Okay. RAFO. *laughter* No, no, go ahead…
When Hoid said that Ivory wasn't capable of harming him, is that related to his stated difficulty in harming others?
RAFO.
Do Geranid and Ashir have anything to do with the creation of new Shardplate?
RAFO.
Did the Knights Radiants create the Shattered Plains?
That’s a RAFO.
Can you use a Divine Breath to Awaken a Lifeless?
RAFO.
Location of Shardpools: are they determined by the Shard, by the planet, or something else?
RAFO. *laughter* RAFO. We end on a RAFO.
Can you give us the intent of the hide and survive Shard, or as an alternative give us the name of another Shardholder?
No. I gave you something good, you got a good one.
And then the final question. At the beginning of Words of Radiance, the assassin Liss, is she Chana?
*Evil laugh* I will RAFO that. Sorry!
In Warbreaker, is the picture that Lightsong saves the same picture that Kaladin finds in Celebrant?
*Presumably gives RAFO card*
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.
RAFO.
Would Mraize have recognized mugshots of the "thugs" who accosted Jasnah and Shallan in WoK?
RAFO
Is Adonalsium's God Metal aluminum?
RAFO.
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?
I'm not ready to answer this one yet, I'm afraid. So it's a RAFO.
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?
It will explored in far future books, most likely.
Who was holding Szeth's oathstone when he was ordered to assassinate King Gavilar?
RAFO.
If you're willing to answer it, how did Bloody Tan pull off the move in the intro to the Wax and Wayne books?
RAFO. I do think I'll actually answer that some day. If I don't I'll just put it online. Bloody Tan had influences.
