Axies

I'm with you in this. And I'll add that it looks like there should have been something there at one point of the time and suddenly it wasn't anymore. But the universe still remembers. The cognitive part of that body still remembers it's place and is stuck there, stubborn, refusing to "die".

My best guess is that Unmade are spren unmade during the time the Heralds were on Damnation between desolations... They are the manifestation of pain, bretrayal, horror, etc... coming from powerful figures as the Heralds. And then unmade.

A Worldhopper with a green chicken... Where have I've seen that before?

Well... that Thunderclast is HUGE. I mean... In the books Dalinar tells that the Thunderclast is "5-6 times the size of a man". That thing on the cover... It's "Shadow of the Colosus" huge. They'll need a Dustbringer to kill that monster. I can't see how some (2-3) Shardblades could do it. (I'm guessing Soulcasting won't work on them as they are creatures invested with a spren/investiture. Am I right?)

I wasn't so sure about it being on FotS but... "The existence of a perpendicularity (which often take the form of pools of concentrated power on the Physical Realm) on a planet is a hallmark of a Shard’s presence. This is what makes First of the Sun so interesting. " "[...]And one of them, the first planet, has a perpendicularity. I have not been able to discover why, or how, this perpendicularity exists. There is certainly no Shard residing in the system. I cannot say what is happening, only that this feature must hint at things that occurred in the past of the planet." " The area around the perpendicularity is extremely dangerous, and the few expeditions sent there from Silverlight have not returned. " Those 3 quotes from K make me think that there was actually a shard on First of the Sun AND that it shattered giving the planet a "Sel-like" condition on the Cognitive Realm.

I was thinking about Threnody too, but... There's a lot pointing at First of the Sun right now.

I was wondering about the perpendicularity and the fact that there's no shard right now and the Cognitive realm is dangerous there... A friend asked Sanderson here in Barcelona about the 4th Shard Odium killed. He said that we have seen something about it. That not spanish readers, but US readers... And that we'd see something about it on the AU. Knowing this and the fact that Sel is dangerous because the shards were shattered... I'm starting to think that the 4th Shattered shard was on First of the Sun.

Don't know if it will be relevant or not, but... gonna leave this here...

On the second video there's a couple of intereseting questions near the end... but not much. I'll try to get them after if I have time.

He didn't said anything else. The question was phrased like "You said that Odium killed 4 shards..." and he did not deny it, nor confirmed. Was missing that one @WeiryWriter. Thank you. (went to the bathroom for one sec and when I come back I see the guy with the RAFO card...)

I'm thinking about Shadows of Silence in the Forest of Hell... The shades seem something that could be an after effect of the shattering of a Shard. (and sositfoh is not in Spanish... yet)

Hey everyone! We had a signing today in Barcelona (finished 2 hours ago) and, even with people not asking many questions, we had some interesting data. Going to try to get some of that here... Can't quote Brandon word by word, but I've been beside him all the time and I got some of what he answered. "Q: Is Hoid human? Brandon: Yes... but. Hoid is... you can say that he is still human, but his DNA have changed. Now he is human but you wouldn't call him Homo sapiens anymore. It happens something similar with the Steel Inquisitors" "Q: You told us Odium broke 4 shards. Can you talk about the 4th one? Brandon: I can say that you've seen, maybe not in Spain, but American fans have seen, the efects of that. You'll se something about it on Arcanum Unbounded" Someone asked about the metal from if the metal of Paalm's spike could be used combined with another of the "normal" metals (maybe as an alloy?). He RAFOed that one. He signed a copy of WoR (I think) and added a sticker for Oathbringer with a quote from that book (Oathbringer) he said it will make sense when we read that one. "You cannot have my pain" He also signed my WoR and I asked him to write something about the Unmade (this one is quoted word by word. Can't add picture right now) "Most of the Unmade are not what we would call sapient. But a few are different..." We had one or two more... But I've worked more than 12 hours today and my brain is melting right now. I'll try to get something more tomorrow.

I can see a meme of your profile picture with that phrase. XD

I know the original date to BoM was November, but... you know. Hype. xD I love how he can "accidently write" something. It's like "Ups I dropped that ink into that stack of paper... ¡Oh, look! ¡A new Mistborn novel!"

Wait... WHAT? Is he talking about the Deathrattles? about Dalinar's visions? We don't want to talk about it? O___o

Riding the hype train while reading SoS right now. I don't know if I'll be able to wait until January for BoM so... What do we now about The Lost Metal? Is still a 2017 thing? Could it be a late 2016 thing? Y____Y

I asked Peter on Twitter on July... that's the answer (not much, but...) https://twitter.com/PeterAhlstrom/status/616278589441355776

That's what I was thinking... maybe the Five Scholars weren't part of a "Hoidian" group, but were in contact with Hoid or the group. With the question I wanted to be sure if Hoid was behind the actions of the Five Scholars and their research. Looking for a way to "hack" investitures... yep it has HOID written all over it xD

Well... that was fast (does this guy even sleeps?). If Hoid wasn't behind the Five Scholars... how they knew about other investitures? damnation... at least he said nothing aobut Enefel not being a Hoid related group xD

I see the "touch Shadesmar" this way... with the Nahel Bond you have acces to the Shadesmar (or the power that comes and goes throught the Cognitive Realm). Shallan can see into the Shadesmar... she can make a Cognitive version of herself into the Shadesmar but she is still on the Physical Realm while doing a Soulcasting. Jasnah is another story... she has acces to the Transportation surge so she can put her physical self into the Shadesmar. Renarin and the visions... I would say that the visions are something from the "godspren" that he might be bonded with and not something from the Shadesmar itself.

Scadrial's magic is the easiest to use outworld because the focus are metals and they are everywhere. (I think Sanderson said so somtime, somewhere)... And about the Sel... on this same AMA he answered me a couple of questions about that, but... I'm still tryng to get something from that "Great question, and one integral to the workings of cosmere Magic!" part, but I have no idea about what about the Dor and the mechanics of Cosmere Magic can... don't know, maybe the Dor can't flow through the Cognitive Realm from one planet to other and is just "chained" to Sel... Maybe is something Seon related... Maybe the fact that there is no Shard alive to know the fact that you are on other planet trying to get acces to their investiture... I'm really lost there.

OMG!! You dare to use logic!! Someone take this guy out of the internet right now! I'm happy to see that I'm not the only one that suspects about Dominion's Shardpool being on a Monastery/Palace...

Sanderson himself said that it's incredibly dangerous but not impossible. My theory es that there's somthing about Sel's Shadesmar related to the death of both Devotion and Dominion. It can be a "storm" of raw investiture raging without control or the "Wasteland Shadesmar" that Sanderson talked about on the AMA.
