Oh my god i hope you are right. That would be perfect.

Is it just me, or does this theory from a year ago hold MUUUUCCCHHHHHH more weight now? Seeing as how we have Bands of Mourning and AU to refer to? Anyone care to refine this thread now that we have more information ?

I feel kind of robbed. How can there not be a Nalthis summary, but every other planet gets one?

Am I just missing it, or is there no summary from Khriss on Nalthis? They have every other planet except that one, and i dont know if im just missing it, or if it is not there for a reason? Any thoughts?

Can anyone tell me how to create the spoiler tag? I am not computer savvy, so if you could explain in like you're talking to a 5 year old, that would be fantastic. And thank you to all the contributors to this list, im sure there are more out there that havent been addressed. Does anyone know a way to get this list to a place where it will get more views, therefore getting more people to add to it? Im new to this site and havent really figured it out yet. Any veterans wanna show me the ropes or give me some advise, i would greatly appreciate it !!!

Hello 17th shard people. First off, i would like to thank user "rasarr" for putting this list together, & "Landis963" for helping with some of the info. I am putting it here in the hopes that this can be a fluid list, and that anything missed can be added. I hope i am posting this in the right spot. General: - The author of Ars Arcana is Khriss, of White Sand - The maps are obtained by Nazh, Khriss' coworker/errand boy, who's from Threnody, the world of Shadows for Silence in the Forests of Hell Elantris: - The Lake where the Hoed are being dissolved is Devotion's Shardpool - "Domi" people curse by is probably short from Dominion, one of Sel's Shards (the way it's spoken is different, though, so it's probably not an ironclad Easter-Egg - unless we consider some sort of language drift) - Svarkiss may or may not be related to Odium - Hoid appears helping Sarene with her luggage near the end of the story - In 10th Anniversary edition there is a moment when Hoid discusses not being able to become an Elantrian with a Skaze Emperor's Soul: - The Emperor's fool who helped Shai steal the Moon Sceptre is Hoid - Shai descries objects having Cognitive and Spiritual "soul"; something we later see in WoR and M: SH The Final Empire: - Kelsier's informant is Hoid - The Pits of Hathsin are Ruin's Shardpool Well of Ascension: - Hoid is leading Terris refugees Elend and Spook encounter (half of this list will be Hoidspotting, huh?) - The Well itself is Preservation's Shardpool Hero of Ages: - Hoid is the informant Vin avoids because of Kelsier's ghost cluing her in not to approach him - Adonalsium and three parts of a person (Physical, Cognitive, Spiritual) are mentioned in the epigraphs Alloy of Law: - The marriage the Vanishers attack is apparently between a pair of Worldhoppers - Hoid is a beggar chatting with the couple during said wedding - Miles' last words are apparently not-accidentally similar to death rattles from Stormlight Archive Shadows of Self: - The brochure in the middle of the book contains a story of a woman stumbling upon what's apparently a Shardpool or other perpendicularity; she meets a Southern Scadrian/Iyatil-folk/Parshendi worldhopper - Hoid is Wax's carriage driver - The Red Rip (it was mentioned either there or in Bands) in the skies is the same astral feature as Taln's Scar in SA. Bands of Mourning: - The beggar who gives Wax the coppermind is Hoid - The woman questioning Wax about allomantic physics at lady Kelesina's ball is Khriss - The brochure has an advert of "K and N" (Khriss and Nazh) searching for talking metal tools for unknown purpose - The brochure has a story in which we can apparently see Nazh shooting Threnodite Shades (from Shadows...) from some sort of a gun - The red-eyed "Fakeless" Immortal of Set may be a Voidbringer or a Svarkiss (or both!). At any rate, it's not from Scadrial. Secret History: - Leras has a knife that's apparently important and may be supernatural - He calls 16 a "sacred number" - He refers to Senna, who/what may be of some importance in Dragonsteel - Drifter is Hoid - Leras knows Hoid under the name Cephandrius - The land Kelsier is in is Scadrial's equivalent of Roshar's Shadesmar; the Expanse of the Vapours from WoK's Shadesmar map - Kelsier meets with Khriss and Nazh, who are there to observe Preservation's death; they explain existence of different planets - Nazh leaves his silver knife with Kelsier; Kel loses it, and it may or may not be important; Nazh's knife is silver, which is anti-Shade on Threnody - Ire is from Sel; they mention guarding their borders from Threnodite Shades - The leader of Ire curses by Devotion - Ati refers to a world called Vax, which apparently looks similar to "Scadesmar" Warbreaker: - The storyteller Lightsong invites at one of the parties is Hoid - Nightblood was based on a Shardblade (not sure if this should be here, as it's a Wob) - There's a Terriswoman nurse somewhere in there Sixth of the Dusk: - A lot of evidence points to the Ones Above being Sci-fi era Scadrians Shadows for Silence in the Forests of Hell: - There has been speculation that the "real" White Fox was Hoid - The Evil is offworld, and may be connected to Odium in some way - Threnody is named in memorial of something, likely of Cosmeric importance Way of the Kings: - Wit is Hoid - The three travellers in Purelake interlude are Galladon, Demoux and Baon from Elantris, Mistborn and White Sand respectively; they are after Hoid and belong to 17th Shard - The fish in Purelake have magic qualities reminescent of Aviars from Sixth of the Dusk - Purelake seems to enable worldhopping, as this is where the trio searches for Hoid - The letter from the epigraphs in Part 2 is from Hoid, likely addressed to Frost, who is a dragon and resides on another planet - The letter mentions Ati, Ruin's holder - Hoid used to use name Topaz - The colorful map of Shadesmar also points to other "expanses" of the Cognitive realm, including Expanse of Vibrance (possibly Nalthis) and Expanse of the Vapours (confirmed to be Scadrial) - Hoid is running away from someone; likely Rayse or 17th Shard - The white "sun" visible in Shadesmar (and in Shallan's chapter headers) is the Spiritual Realm Words of Radiance: - Zahel is Vasher from Warbreaker - Nazh is the ardent Rock chases away from Bridge Four; he was sketching bridgemen tattoos - Iyatil's mask suggests she has some connection to Southern Scadrians; she's a worldhopper - Mraize is a worldhopper; his collection includes a rare flower from Nalthis, a lock of hair (possibly Royal Locks, also from Nalthis), a vial of sand from Taldain (White Sand), a silver knife from Threnody and an unusual gem (could be from yet-unpublished Aether of Night) among others - At least one of the lakes on top of Horneater Peaks is a perpendicularity and might be Shardpool; the "god" Rock saw there was Hoid arriving on Roshar - The Purelake plague mentioned by the end is the common cold brought to Roshar by the three worldhoppers from WoK - Taln's Scar in the skies is the same thing as Red Rip from Mistborn 1.5 - The sword Nin gives to Szeth by the end is Nightblood, of Warbreaker - Iriali faith (from Ym's interlude) bears startling resemblance to cosmeric history - The letter of Part 4 is an answer to that from WoK, and possibly from Frost - The letter mentions Hoid having a gem that "died"; going by publicly available chapters of Liar of Partinel, the stone was an aether - The Ars Arcanum compares Rosharan lightweaving to Yolenian art of the same name - There's a man called Felt both here (on Dalinar's staff) and back in one of Mistborn books - YMMV whether this means something - Many graphics visible in beginnings of chapters are annotated by Nazh, including pages from Shallan's notebook, which he has apparently fished out from the bottom of the sea So this is the list that was put together by "rasarr". Can anyone think of anything that was missed? Thank you for your help, and happy hunting !!

This is exactly what i was looking for !! You are my hero. Thank you so much for taking the time to write all that out for me. This should be shared so others can appreciate it, and possibly add anything that may have been missed. I am new to this site and not very computer savvy. Does anyone know the best place to repost ?

I hope i am in the right place for this ! I still havent figured out how to properly post on this site. So, i have read every Cosmere book and short story. There arent any crazy spoilers out there for me since i have read them all and am up to date. My question is that there are so many easter eggs in the books, some very subtle, that i know i have missed some giant pieces of information. Has anyone made a Cosmere easter egg list, or a kind of Cliff notes for the Cosmere? I have missed quite a few things, and this site has helped to piece a lot of the pieces together, but it took a bit of digging and a lot of reading things that were just theories and not canon. Anyhow, thanks for your help, and happy reading !

So there isnt some giant easter egg in them that i didnt pick up on ?

I guess what i am looking for is some kind of cliff notes version of all the subtle Cosmere references that one might not notice upon their initial reading. For example, i just found out that wax's dance partner in BoM is Khriss. I knew it was some kind of Cosmere easter egg, but didnt know who it was till i read it on this site. So is there a summary of all the easter eggs of the cosmere? Also, i am terrible with computers. I tried doing the spoiler tag and i couldnt get it to work. Can someone explain it like im five and help me out here? You guys rock. thank you for your help

What was the purpose of the broadsheet "interludes" in era 2? There were spaced so far apart in the books, it was hard to find any continuity in them unless you went back and read them again. Does anyone know of any secrets, or are there any WoB regarding those stories?

Im not sure how to use a spoiler tag, so i will just mention it here so no one continues reading. **********THIS CONTAINS SPOILERS FOR MISTBORN ERA 2 AND SECRET HISTORY ******* So i just finished with BoM and SH. I got a little confused with everything at the end of BoM with the southerners, the Band of Mourning and the Sovereign. I was scrolling through the Forums and only just now realized that Kelsier is the Sovereign and is the whole reason the southerners are so advanced. I am looking for a place that has a summary of the books, or simply points out what we know regarding Scadrial and all its goings on. Does anyone have a link, or know where i can go and read a summary of era 2 and SH? I appreciate the help. I am now trying to wrap my brain around Kelsier being alive and chillen with a spiked eye, and being God for a group of Scadrialites we didnt even know were there.

Thank you for your reply. I was thinking this was a video game RPG, like Final Fantasy or something of that nature. I wasnt aware it was the type of game you described. Thank you so much for your help !!

So, i am not very computer savvy. I can turn one on, check my email, and nerd out in the 17th Shard forums. With that said, i would love to play the Mistborn RPG. But, when i go to the link, it is intimidating and i have no idea where to begin or what i am supposed to do. Would someone be so kind as to explain this to me like i am 5 years old (one of the better sub-reddits, IMO). For example, what is RP (Role Player)? And im assuming RPG is Role Playing Game? Cause it doesnt seem like this is like any other RPG ive played. Thank you in advance for anyone who takes the time to help this helpless guy out. Thanks a bunch,.
