Are the Knights Radiant's powers/spren derived from both Honor and Cultivation? As it seems each order has a has a power of nature e.g. light gravity etc
If yes, what powers would Odium give the Knights Radiants, if he where forced to empower them? And would there be any additional oaths they would need to swear to use these powers?
Everything in the books is alluding to Damnation and the Tranquiline Halls being one and the same. Is this true or is it more separate countries in the same landmass? And what is the general landscape of this alternate dimension?
Brandon Sanderson
These questions stray into RAFO type territory, which I try not to delve too deeply into on twitter. (Because of the short space I have to reply.) But there are some hints in the links [SandersonArmy] included...
mooglefrooglian
If Taln held on to Jezrien’s Honorblade, would he get the sapphire eyes effect that Szeth does? Or are Returned/Heralds/those like them resistant to that sort of thing?
Brandon Sanderson
RAFO.
Questioner
I'm reading into that the timing of The Alloy of Law is roughtly about when we would expect the Pits of Hathsin to start regenerating--
Brandon Sanderson
*Disingenuously* Oh imagine that...
Questioner
Okay yeah, does that mean that atium is still important, or is there a new element for Sazed that you might be able to expect.
Brandon Sanderson
RAFO.
Noah Chan
Kel said he ended atium production for a few hundred years. Will atium reappear in Alloy and such, or did Sazed move the Pits?
Brandon Sanderson
RAFO. :)
Argent
(paraphrased)
What command would you have to give to an Awakened object like Nightblood in order for it to not go insane?
Brandon Sanderson
(paraphrased)
I am going to RAFO that about Nightblood, but - is Nightblood insane? It just has no concept of... It was commanded to do something it was not equipped to judge. I would not call Nightblood insane. I would say that you have commanded something with no concept of morality to make moral decisions, and that's very confusing to him.
Mason Wheeler
What would happen if someone carried Nightblood unsheathed into a perpendicularity?
Brandon Sanderson
RAFO.
Jozomby
In the Nalthis system, with the Cognitive Anomaly, does it orbit the star or is it stationary in space?
Brandon Sanderson
RAFO. Good question.
Yata
Is the way to unlock Feruchemy to have the same amount of ruin and preservation investiture (or at least a quite balance in them) ? If the answer is Yes, could a Scadrial Human unlock it by ingest tiny piece of Atium ?
Brandon Sanderson
RAFO.
Eric
One of Kaladin's early chasm duties, he examines a very distinctive knife with a figure at the center of the hilt, nicely carved with a man of fine armor... How similar is this knife to the one Moash used?
Brandon Sanderson
RAFO.
Claincy (Paraphrased)
I asked if he could give me a new hint on aluminium's special properties/interactions with the metallic arts.
Brandon Sanderson
RAFO!
Questioner
Would we get Adonalsiumlight if we combined Light from all different Shards?
Brandon Sanderson
RAFO.
Kingsdaughter613
Primary question: Peter recently said something about atium in Era 1 actually being an atium-electrum alloy, which is called nalatium. Is this accurate?
Brandon Sanderson
This is accurate, yes.
You could, by the way, just continue to call it atium. That's what they think atium is in-world. It's very slightly tainted.
Kingsdaughter613
Secondary questions: If the above is yes, did Kelsier get malatium by separating the atium and gold from the silver in nalatium? If so, do atium and gold have similar melting points?
Brandon Sanderson
That's more of a RAFO in that I'm not sure I want to canonize any of that right now.
Questioner
What was Paalm doing during Era 1?
Brandon Sanderson
I will answer that someday, so I'm going to RAFO it for now.
Questioner
When Jasnah says she should've opened a pit, does she mean a chasm or a kind of Androl, Wheel of Time, kind of thing?
Brandon Sanderson
Androl, Wheel of Time, what do you mean by that?
Questioner
When he opens a gateway? What does she mean by pit?
Brandon Sanderson
Ha. *evil smirk* I'll RAFO that right now.
LameLamas
Will Dalinar get Shardplate once he swears his Fourth Ideal? Or Bondsmiths don’t have Plates?
Brandon Sanderson
RAFO. :)
Questioner
Are we going to see compounding of aluminum?
Brandon Sanderson
You'll get a RAFO.
Argent
Was Bloody Tan influenced and/or controlled by Harmony or one of his agents? During those introductory events [in The Alloy of Law prologue]?
Brandon Sanderson
Controlled by Harmony? No.
Argent
Was he controlled or influenced by anyone outside of himself?
Brandon Sanderson
*sounds like he's about to say “yeah”* RAFO.
Argent
The many faces of Cusicesh, are they of real people?
Brandon Sanderson
RAFO.
HamBoan_87
Could Rysn "use" her Command power and change change the nature of a Shard (e.g. make Odium not evil)
Can the Dawnshards be combined a la Ruin and Preservation?
And on a scale of power who would win: someone welding a Shard of Adolnasium or a Dawnshard? Does it depend of the SoA?
Nikli referred to Adonalsium as "it" and not "him" or "her". Was Adonalsium a being or a general force?
Brandon Sanderson
RAFOs all around!
Chaos
(paraphrased)
Is Endowment blind to the words spoken by Awakeners? Is he blind to art?
Brandon Sanderson
(paraphrased)
RAFO.
Questioner
We’ve seen the Cognitive Realm now on Roshar with the spheres and Scadrial with the mists. So what does it look like on Nalthis and Sel?
Brandon Sanderson
Uh that is a big fat RAFO.
Oudeis16
Is duralumin easier, harder, or the same to Push on allomantically as, say, tin?
Brandon Sanderson
I'm going to start moving into "RAFO almost everything" mode here, unfortunately, as (with the weekend over) I need to be getting into the ending of the book itself. Some of the questions, though not yours, are getting very detailed and I need to scale back on answers for now. (Sorry.)
Pagerunner
Four clues you've given over the years about unknown Shards: 1) One that wants to hide and survive. 2) One that's not on a planet, but not Ambition 3) One that Hoid would have taken 4) One that would have been used for Rithmatist
I'm not looking for a new clue. I'm wondering if there's any overlap between the clues. Are these four separate Shards? If not, which hints apply to the same Shard?
Also, since clue #3 was from before Ambition was revealed, was Hoid going to take Ambition? He certainly is an ambitious individual.
Brandon Sanderson
I'll tell you this--those aren't necessarily four different shards. But I do have to RAFO which one Hoid might have taken.
AndrewStirlingMacDonald
(paraphrased)
Are there any other Davars that are Invested?
Brandon Sanderson
(paraphrased)
*laughs* That is TOTALLY a RAFO.
AndrewStirlingMacDonald
(paraphrased)
I mean, I knew it, when I asked.
Brandon Sanderson
(paraphrased)
"Are there any?" is an odd question. Depends on what time you're talking about. But let's just say there are few people in all of Roshar who've gotten as far as Shallan.
T.T
What is the dark-glowing sphere?
Brandon Sanderson
Major big RAFO.
Dirigible
Have we seen a Svrakiss in a book so far?
Brandon Sanderson
Um... RAFO
Dirigible
Can you tell us anything about Svrakiss, like are they originally from Sel?
Brandon Sanderson
Um... I'm not going to go into that.
Questioner
(paraphrased)
Will Vivenna, Vasher and Nightblood reunite?
Brandon Sanderson
(paraphrased)
RAFO
Audrin
Here's my theory, and I want to get it down here so when it turns out to be right I can say "See I called it!"
Dalinar becomes the new Honor, Lift becomes the new Cultivation. Why? Cultivation touched three people, Dalinar, Taravangian and Lift. She planned for Taravangian to become the new Odium, so I figure the other two are the new Honor and her eventual successor Cultivation. At least this is Cultivation's plan, even if that's not exactly how it ends up happening.
Brandon Sanderson
RAFO indeed.
Alteroden
How many Horneater peaks are there? Or is it irrelevant?
Brandon Sanderson
It's not irrelevant. You will find that out in one of the books. I’m not going to canonize that yet. Because the honest truth is, I'm wavering on how exactly I want that to look. So that's the "I don't want to canonize it yet" RAFO.
Questioner
(paraphrased)
Thirteenth - Do the Windrunners have any Surges that Szeth doesn't have?
Brandon Sanderson
(paraphrased)
RAFO because it's explained in WoR.
Kris
This has probably been asked before, I was wondering since Mistborn, Warbreaker and Elantris share the same Cosmere, is it possible we will see people with certain abilities cross over into other worlds from other series?
Brandon Sanderson
I think I've said enough about that here. More than that is a RAFO.
girsoe
Will Kaladin learn to play the flute?
Brandon Sanderson
RAFO. :)
Sofia
Is Odium is still influencing Vyre after all the Taravangian stuff?
Brandon Sanderson
That's a RAFO. Odium will have interesting, different relationships with a lot of different, interesting people in the next book.
Paladin Brewer
In Secret History, outside of Fadrex City, Kelsier was in the Cognitive and Hoid was in the Physical. Kelsier touched Hoid and got hurt. How did that happen and was it intentional?
Brandon Sanderson
RAFO.
Sapphire_Bombay
You've mentioned in the past that Jasnah has some interesting brain psychology going on. I suspect if I ask you to elaborate too much, I'll get RAFO'd, but can you share if it is more due to nature or nurture?
Brandon Sanderson
Little of both. I would go nurture on this one, but let's wait till I write her book to really dig into it.
Questioner
Would it be possible to have a "Shardgun"? (Shardblade in the form of a gun)
Brandon Sanderson
RAFO!
OrangeJedi
In a previous question you said that when Pattern talks he makes vibrations in the air that can be picked up by a recorder. When Syl talks to just Kaladin, and is only appearing to just Kaladin, could that audio be recorded?
Brandon Sanderson
RAFO.
Phantine
So... CS question here, I'm seeing identity as essentially a 'encryption' on the metalmind - the spike has the decryption key to existing metalminds, but when you encrypt a new one you use your personal encryption key with the spike's hardware, so you still have compounding access to the metalminds even after removing the spike.
Is it possible for there to be a 'key collision' with Identity? Two people just randomly end up making compatible metalminds, because the pieces of their Identities that the magic looks like happen to be the same.
Brandon Sanderson
This would be about as likely as two unrelated people ending up with the exact same genetic sequence.
But, so far as I understand, that WOULD be possible.
Lucadaw
So identical twins could share metalminds ?
Brandon Sanderson
:) RAFO.
Satsuoni
Are Truthspren originally sentient, or do they gain/regain sentience from a bond, like Syl?
Brandon Sanderson
RAFO for Words of Radiance, where a lot of these questions will find answers.
Diego98
(paraphrased)
Did Odium have something to do with Adolin killing Sadeas, 'cause in Thaylenah he said that he had been preparing Sadeas' troops for a long time.
Brandon Sanderson
(paraphrased)
RAFO
Questioner
Nananav, from Oathbringer. Worldhopper?
Brandon Sanderson
RAFO.
Dirigible
(paraphrased)
Are the Svrakiss cognitive shadows?
Brandon Sanderson
(paraphrased)
RAFO. But you expected that.
XS-Terrain
Do the riots in Kholinar have to do with the Thrill, and is there an Unmade centered there?
Brandon Sanderson
...That's a RAFO.
Newan
I asked a question at the panel, I asked if the person you refuse to say who he is, I was trying to talk about Taln.
Brandon Sanderson
Oh!
Newan
Not Hoid.
Brandon Sanderson
So what about Taln?
Newan
Is there anything you'll tell us about him?
Brandon Sanderson
What do you want to know? Ask me a specific question.
Newan
Is he Rosharan?
Brandon Sanderson
Is he Rosharan? Taln is Rosharan.
Newan
*inaudible*
Brandon Sanderson
Define Rosharan, how about that?
Newan
Native to Roshar.
Brandon Sanderson
That I have to RAFO.
Nowan
Are the Heralds...
Brandon Sanderson
The Heralds are from the same place that Taln is from.
Questioner
So, I was curious if the Alethi were always-- like, if there was a time where there wasn't a segregation between lighteyes and darkeyes.
Brandon Sanderson
Yes, that did exist.
Questioner
...How did the separation occur?
Brandon Sanderson
There are some clues in [Oathbringer] and in the last book. It has to do with Knights Radiant and Surgebinding and things like that. It's a part RAFO. It's pretty guessable. There's nothing--
Questioner
When did Vasher find out about Shadesmar and travel to Roshar?
Brandon Sanderson
I will try to cover this in the sequel to Warbreaker when I write it. So for right now, you get a RAFO card.
coltonx9
Is there a spren for the Everstorm?
Brandon Sanderson
RAFO. Good question.
Argent
Most of the Shardblades and Plate abandoned by Radiants during the Recreance are somewhere, missing. Are they mostly, kind of in the same place?
Brandon Sanderson
It's a good question. RAFO.
Questioner
Unity is capital. Is there a reason for that.
Brandon Sanderson
*hands over a RAFO card*
