Questioner
First of all, on the [Arcanum Unbounded] endpapers, what's the position of... Where is it from? What's the reference point?
My friend asked (and I was there with him asking my own question) Brandon and Isaac at the Provo release where the perspective on the end papers is from – Brandon confirmed that it was from Silverlight, after checking with Isaac. There was some wonkiness in the response though – Isaac said something like as it was “imagined” from Silverlight, and I tried to get clarification for what that meant (is that because Silverlight is mobile?), but stayed pretty vague (got the impression he was maybe saying there was some sort of artistic license taken?). I consider it confirmed that it is from the perspective of Silverlight, but that that there is more going on there.

Reference point in this, I believe, is Silverlight. But it's not how they would exactly see them all. But it is done by someone from Silverlight. Right, Isaac? This is done by someone from Silverlight? And that's gonna be kind of our reference point, but they are imagining a place... right?
Isaac Stewart
They're imagining a place where the constellations would look like this. There iss an actual place where it looks that way. *talking over one another*

Is that because Silverlight is mobile? Or is that because...
Brandon Sanderson
No.
Questioner
You say "imagine." I just wondered what "imagine" means.
Brandon Sanderson
I'm saying, I'm not sure-- *to Isaac* Did you set that from Silverlight?
Isaac Stewart
No, no. It is set from a point in the cosmere itself.
Questioner
So that they can say they can see all of them in one--
Isaac Stewart
So, that is an actual night sky somewhere in the cosmere.
Brandon Sanderson
Okay, okay. Yeah. I now know what he's talking about.
