  1. Hi All, Long time lurker, first time poster. I got a recording of video recording of the initial talk, the Q&A, and the preview chapter reading. Can anyone let me know what the etiquette for posting these is? I asked one of the bookstore employees if posting it was okay, and they got the OK from Brandon, but it was late and he was in the middle of signing other people's books, so I'd prefer to get independent confirmation here that it's okay to post. I asked three questions, butdidn't get a recording of my own questions. To the best of my memory (and I'm probably largely paraphrasing here), they were: 1. Q. If Hoid were a Magic card, what colors would he be? A. Five color. Although, if he were to drop a color, it would be White. 2. Q. Based on the bit during the open Q&A about Odium splintering Dominion and Devotion and shoving their power into the Cognitive, and that blocking off the Spiritual, which makes Sel's magic so location (or Identity of location) based - if a Shardbearer traveled to Sel, could they still summon their Shardblade? A. That's interesting. Nobody's ever asked me that before. That's a RAFO! (I got a card!) 3. Q. At the end of Hero of Ages, it's significant that 1/16 of the soldiers who got sick were Atium mistings. We know now that there's more than 16 metals - what exactly happened there? A. Well, you have to remember, by that point, Preservation wasn't entirely there. He was mostly concerned with leaving hints, clues, with the number 16, towards his plan. Q. So, were the other remaining group of soldiers that fell sick all still mistings of the other base metals? A. Yes. Q. So, did Preservation bump out one of the base metal types so those could be Atium mistings? And if so, which was it? A. Yes, that's right. It would probably have been one of the metals that was difficult to get at that level of technology. It would have been Chromium - Chromium would be hard gather at that time. Actually, no, it would have been Aluminum. A. (about a minute later, while signing someone else's book) - Hold on, there's a caveat to that last answer. Let me finish signing this and expand on that. A. So, it would still have been Aluminum, but not for the reason your thinking. It would have been Aluminum, but there's an asterisk next to that answer.
