Did Nightblood cause the Cognitive Anomaly?
*Hems and haws*
I'll give you a RAFO card.
What would a larkin do on Scadrial around a metal?
A larkin on Sca-- It would have to-- *pause* I'm going to RAFO that. I mean I know what it would do, but let's let you see what larkins can do more.
And... Fortune and Autonomy are Shards? Yes, no?
RAFO.
Alright, was Awakening used on Nalthis before Vo Returned?
Ummmm… RAFO!
Are you planning on any of the Stormlight exclusive characters becoming world-hoppers?
RAFO.
Did Yolen ever have a moon? Is a past version of Hoid in any of Dalinar's visions?
Two questions, I'll RAFO them both.
Does a Shard's power being manifested either physically or not (through metals vs through light) have anything to do with its individual abilities/powers?
RAFO. :)
They say Ati was good, but Ruin turned him evil. Are they any evil people who picked up a Shard that turned them good?
RAFO. Good question!
Did Kelsier chose not to move on after he died or did he want to move on but couldn't for some reason?
RAFO. The thing is, Kelsier's wife Mare had certainly moved on, and that would be motivating him to go on to the next life.
Did Adonalsium have a gemheart?
RAFO, good question.
Why are all the dead Shardblades blades?
That will be answered eventually, so I'm gonna RAFO that for now.
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
If we ever get it, will we see the dinosaurs (or at least the peteruhdacctil) again?
Heh heh heh. RAFO.
I have a question about progression of powers for the Knights Radiant. So we see with Kaladin that it seems that there's a definitive border to the Ideals and how you gain them, I guess? It would be hard to touch on the third without having learned the second. Would that-- Is that the same for all of the Orders? Like the Willshapers are much more varied and individualistic, could they go through a different order and if so would that affect how they express their Surgebinding?
Yes, the Oaths are very individualized. In fact you'll get a lot more of this as you see different people, even within the same Order, swearing Oaths. And you'll see how it works, even with a given Order there is individuality to them. So I'm going to give you a RAFO, you can have a card.
Is Odium gonna make Gavinor his champion?
I'm gonna say complete RAFO on anything about who the champion is.
Can "modern" (as in Adolin's) Shardplate be summoned similar to how "dead" Shardblades (as in Oathbringer) can be?
RAFO.
What would Elhokar's fifth truth be?
...Oh, Elhokar's last truth? He would have had to have been on a long journey before he could even get to that. It would probably be-- I'm going to RAFO that now, because I think it would tell you too much about the way I'm thinking for the way the truths work. I could probably tell you that now, but I will choose not to. Let's just say it would involve kind of a journey that starts kind of-- negative is the wrong term. Being more aware of himself and then coming to a deeper awareness of himself that is perhaps not-- that leaves him in a good place.
Could you tell me what his first truth would have been?
It would have been to admit the thing that he knows, which is that he's a bad king.
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
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.
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!
Are Shards all paired? Does Endowment have a counterpart?
RAFO. Also, yes and no. Not all Shards have perfect counterparts like Ruin and Preservation.
Why were Ruin and Preservation linked together?
Because they're such perfect opposites. Basically it's just an opposites attract thing.
Is Nightblood any more Invested now than when she was created?
RAFO. (Good question.)
Are they able to make a Hemalurgic spike out of a god metal? Or does that not work?
RAFO. We will be releasing a Hemalurgic table before too much longer.
You said that Hoid has had love interests. Does he have any children?
RAFO.
Are Kaladin's parents still alive, and if so, are they actually mad at him?
Yes, they are still alive. RAFO.
Who invited Rayse to the Adonalsium-Shattering party?
Hehe, you will have to see. That is definitely a RAFO.
Did Sel's early magic users have Aona's help in building Elantris?
That's a RAFO.
Meteorites are mentioned as "souls of dead gods". Do they have any relation to the Splinters of Devotion and Dominion and their physical aspects (like lerasium)?
"Literally no."
Is there a connection to the splinters at all?
RAFO.
When Odium said "we killed you" to Dalinar, was he referring to Adonalsium? Was he referring to Honor?
RAFO.
I'm going to make the assumption that Rlain will have the same basic powers as Renarin.
This is a RAFO for now, though you can assume basic similarities between their powers--but Rlain's deeper connection to the rhythms might tweak his powers somewhat.
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.
Would Hemalurgy work on an AI?
RAFO.
So, is shardplate created as a result of a spren bond?
RAFO.
What is the Command of Vivenna's sword?
Uhhhhh... RAFO.
What shattered the Shattered Plains?
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.
What are the titles/bynames/epithets for Moelach, Nergaoul and Ba-Ado-Mishram?
RAFO.
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
Where is Hoid on the religious scale about the Beyond?
That's a RAFO.
Kids in Stormlight; we have Oroden, we have Gavinor, we have Sah’s daughter Vai, we have Taravangian’s grandkids, plus the little orphan that Kheni and Cob have. How old are these kids going to be at the end of Stormlight 10?
RAFO.
Have we seen a Dawnshard in any Cosmere book?
Yes and no. *hands RAFO card*
You mention that, before the shattering, there was a force opposing Adonalsium. Was it an entity like Adonalsium?
He explain that they gave him to much wiggle room when the anti-Adonalsium question was made, explaining that is answer could mean that a group of people was against Adonalsium. But, for this question, we had to RAFO.
Is there any relation between Shardplate and the spren like there are with the Blades?
RAFO. :)
Do you think you'll ever store Stormlight in a metalmind?
RAFO!
When Lift the Nightwatcher to not change, or whatever it was...
Mm hmm.
...her exact wording. Was that triggered by the loss of a loved one?
There is loss involved......that's a RAFO.
Did Spook ever leave Scadrial?
RAFO.
Why Cultivation thought that helping Dalinar would be very, very dangerous? Also, there's a theory that she wants him for a new vessel for Honor's Shard. Is this...valid assumption?
RAFO on both, I'm afraid.
Could you have a good conversation with Adonalsium, back in the day?
Back in the day? I actually have to RAFO that because I actually haven't said whether Adonalsium was a force or an individual. So it is an excellent question, no one has asked me that before, but it's not one I can answer.
That was a bit of a sneaky one, because it seems like it would be an easy one to answer, but it gives away too much
It does.
