Where did the surviving Elariels end up after HoA and in the Wax and Wayne Era?
Brandon Sanderson
All over, really.

Do powerful magnets affect metalminds or metal reserves in metalborn?
Brandon Sanderson
Yes. But... that has an "*" on it.
Kiiyashi
If Rashek had been in a position to claim Preservation and Ruin simultaneously, as Sazed did, would he have been able to to Ascend to Harmony, another combination of the two Shards, or just one?
Brandon Sanderson
All three are possible.

Oudeis16
Could it use those Breaths to Awaken?
Brandon Sanderson
No.

Like Adonalsium, could Harmony split into 2 shards OTHER THAN Ruin/Preservation with the right intent.
You once stated that it is plausible that with a different intent Adonalsium could have shattered into a DIFFERENT 16 shards. You have also said that Harmony is one shard (or could be viewed this way.) My question: Could Harmony split/be split into 2 shards OTHER THAN Ruin/Preservation (yet still complementing/opposite) with the right intent of the splitter? And if not is this because Harmony is still too invested in Scadrial as Ruin/Preservation?
Brandon Sanderson
Almost anything is possible... but it is very, very unlikely that Harmony would split except back to Ruin/Preservation.

Brandon Sanderson
Yes, technically.
Questioner
If Raoden had had an erection when he was taken by the Shaod, would he keep it post-transformation?
Brandon Sanderson
Some functions of the body (like muscles + blood flow) don't get stopped :)

Who was responsible for getting Vin's bronze earring plated "silver"?

RAFO

Nightblood's sheath and Silence's dagger are silver... Does silver have more secrets to reveal to us? Does it have some Cosmere-sized significance?
Brandon Sanderson
Nightblood's sheath is indeed of cosmere-sized significance... but it may not be actual silver.

Does Investiture warp spacetime like objects with mass/energy do in our world?
Brandon Sanderson
Yes--but the warping is not on the Physical Realm.

Does the painting from Nalthis seen by Kaladin appear elsewhere? Will it?
Brandon Sanderson
RAFO!

Who founded Silverlight, and when?
Brandon Sanderson
RAFO (But it was a while ago...)
Kalleth
What are the most important words a man can say?
Brandon Sanderson
It depends. Today, it is probably "I was wrong."
The Sovereign (paraphrased)
I had asked for the Intent of the Shard beyond the the 10 (11 counting Harmony) that we knew.
Brandon Sanderson (paraphrased)
RAFO, Sorry not yet...

If Lift went to Scadrial and got a Connection medallion, would she be able to access Allomancy if she swallowed metal?
Brandon Sanderson
RAFO!
