Oh yeah, didn't he discover the name whilst searching through all the religions? Before he took the Shards?

So are all the Shardholders aware of the cosmere, or do some just consider themselves the god of that world. Vin certainly didn't seem to be aware of the cosmere and everything that was going on. And it never mentions if Sazed (I guess we call him Harmony now) is aware of it. However I feel like they would have to at some point. Do you think maybe once a shard changes hands that the Seventeenth Shard swoops in an informs them? It would certainly explain their purpose. Instead of a bunch of random events happening all over the cosmere the Seventeenth Shard links them all together and makes sure everything that happens links together.

Thank you thats awesome, and to contribute to the discussion, Lightweaving he can reverse at will, dyeing would take more time to reverse, not to mention he clearly Lightweaves to change his appearance on Scadrial when he pretends to be Terris. As for being Elantrian it seems like it would be a lot of trouble to go through to intentionally become Elantrian when there really is no reason for it. I mean, what would being Elantrian do for him that he can't already do through other means?

Wait, when you say "Liar" are you talking about "Liar of Partinel"? That's supposed to be Hoid's origin story isn't it? I thought it wasn't published, have you read it?

Cool. Thank you.

So Investiture is what drives the magic systems then? Like Lerasium is Preservation's Investiture and Stormlight is Honor's? Then by that logic could Nightblood feed off the metals in a mistborn's stomach?

Is Nalthis the only place where people are born with a Breath? Is it possible that people on other worlds are born with Breath but nobody on that world knows about it and how to use it? I was curious about this before but now that Nightblood is on Roshar it seems to be a much more important question. If there is no Breath on Roshar how will anyone be able to wield it? I doubt Szeth is just going to carry it around and not wield it. Do you think that maybe Nightblood can feed off of Stormlight like it does Breath?

How do we know Hoid has lerasium? I've read and reread Well of Ascension looking for the clue and I can't find it. I mean everyone seems to agree that he went to the Well before Vin, and that he took a bead of lerasium. But how do we know that?

What exactly is steelrunning? I can't find this term on any wiki or Forum post? I mean, I'm not exactly new to this, I've been following Sanderson for years, love Mistborn, had hour long debates about Allomantic Theory but... never heard the term Steelrunning.

Hello, I'm excited to be a part of this. I've been a long time fan Sanderson's work and so far stupid school proxies have kept me off 17th Shard. However new Filter system that doesn't block the site *Steel Pushes off the ground and shoots into the air*
