Questioner
In Mistborn: Secret History... The Ire--are they Elantrians?
Brandon Sanderson
They are.
Questioner
They are.
Brandon Sanderson
Mhm.
Questioner
And how-- what is their history with Ruin and the other [Vessels]?
Brandon Sanderson
So, these are some very old people, who are cosmere-aware.
Questioner
Are they... that wasn't mine... Do they predate the Elantrian story?
Brandon Sanderson
I haven't answered that, and people have asked it. So I'll RAFO that.
Questioner
Oh, great.
Brandon Sanderson
But let's just say they're very old, and the Shardpool in Elantris, if you go back and read about the lore surrounding it in the book Elantris, you will see that they were aware of what was happening with it before the fall of Elantris.
Questioner
Did they-- were they affected by the cataclysm?
Brandon Sanderson
That is a RAFO!
