#3 Copy

Thorondir (paraphrased)

Who names the planets? You've said once that "Scadrial" was the name of the planet as Ruin and Preservation knew it, but where'd they get that name? Do the Shardholders all get together and vote on it or something?

Brandon Sanderson (paraphrased)

He said thay already had their names and that the all the planets existed before the shardholders got there.

#4 Copy

Thorondir (paraphrased)

How many Shardworlds are there? Only seven? (Sel, Nalthis, Scadrial, Roshar, Yolen, Taldain, and whatever planet The Silence Divine is on [Ashyn]?)

Brandon Sanderson (paraphrased)

He said he has a set number in his head but that he didn’t want to say it because he might change his mind. Essentially he doesn’t want to make the number of worlds canon yet.

#6 Copy

Thorondir (paraphrased)

How could a person from Scadrial access Shadesmar? An alloy of a god metal?

Brandon Sanderson (paraphrased)

He RAFOd me on this one and said it was a plot point for future novels.

Footnote: In Mistborn: Secret History, we see Hoid transition between the Physical and Cognitive Realm using the well. This can be achieved on any world similarly through any Shards perpendicularity.
