I will! I was in line right before him. I was hoping the combination of the leather-bound,it being written down, and stars aligning might have increased my chances of not getting a RAFO from 0% to .5% hahaha. How long does it normally take for everyone to transcribe it on the Arcanum? Or should I just go over there to help transcribe his question?

My roommate isn't a member of the 17th shard but here is the question and answer he got: Q: Do any of the Shards regret becoming Shards? Brandon: (Hesitantly).... Um Yes. Q: Yes? Brandon: I would say yes. My question (I wrote it down in my leather-bound Well of Ascension) Q: Is there a Shard named Judgement or and antonym (ie Justice) Brandon: (sees my question written down) Oh umm... yeah that's a RAFO.

I'll be attending this with my roommate! How long do the signings normally go? I assume probably a couple of hours?

There are dozens of us!!! It's so good . Second favorite movie is The Sword in the Stone. For all the same reasons as Kiki's Delivery Service. Another unpopular opinion: I like Denna from The Name of the wind. Reasons, because Kvothe is a terrible person and he deserves her. In addition once I understood that their relationship was akin to ships passing in the night I began to enjoy those scenes. But mostly because she won't let herself be won over.

I dont think so. You mention the point that Shallan creates these personalities. Her mind invents versions of herself to cope with things she mentally is incapable of taking on during the current events of the books. Renarin is using a hacked version, since we know his spren is corrupted, so I would imagine his future sight has more to do with that then it being linked to the way gold functions for mistings/mistborn.

Chaos- "I find Elhokar to be one of Brandon's... best written characters." I laughed so hard at everyone's reactions.

So I've been thinking on the description of Endowment. I thought in my head how cool it would be if Vivenna had met Endowment and how she would describe that. (Also I'm not a writer so this might be rough ) Vivenna looked into Endowments eyes. In that moment she saw infinity and in that infinity she found a warmth unlike any other. A gift she felt made for her, but no that wasn't the right way to describe it. It was all gifts. Infinite versions of herself, everything and anything she could become stretched across infinity. It felt warm at first, but now she realized suddenly how cold she was, how cold this vastness had become. "Was this a lack of... of emotion? No, that wasn't the right word." Vivenna thought to herself. The power peered straight into her soul and she could feel that it didn't see her as a person, an individual, or even alive. This vast infinity seemed to encapsulate her, suffocating her, threatened to fill her with a piece of its infinity against her will. This infinity threatened to render and stretch her until she no longer existed. And then the moment passed...

So Brandon has said that the Rhythms are Cosmere wide, meaning they would still hear them on Scadrial. Also this post confirms that a Seeker could theoretically hear the Rhythms. It is not yet clear how the Listeners/Singers hear the Rhythms I think it is probably because their race was created by Adonalsium. So yes I would say similar because they are linked in some fashion.

Well I've been using this username for everything for what... a little over a decade now? (God I'm old lol). Oh the story is quite lame. I put my full name into an anagram maker back in the early days of Facebook (it was an early app on the site). But anyway it output Johnny Rook Eastland. I dropped the Rook and thought that it would be easy for people in the FPS community (I played a lot at the time, still do) to shout hey Johnny than whatever dumb name I would have made. Plus Eastland sounded a lot like Eastwood, and Clint Eastwood is my favorite actor. Kinda lame lol

I agree and I remember seeing a WoB like that. Plus I believe there is a second WoB out there saying that a regular person summoning their Shardblade would take longer to get to them. Which is essentially taking the spren off-world, not the same but close enough that I would agree it could be done but not easy. Plus we don't know the specific's of the Oathpact. Whatever it is allowed the Heralds being cognitive shadows to travel between worlds. That is definitely not the norm from what we've seen lol.

True, but as for the topic it doesn't matter that Herald was killed at the end of OB. Nale bonded a spren with the Oathpact still in tact-ish.

Fair enough lol. But in chapter 38 of OB the Stormfather says "The Oathpact has almost been weakened to annihilation." They read it on the Shardcast Oathpact discussion.

The second Wob was just before Oathbringer released in September. So it would still stand

@Wreith the Oathpact is not broken... yet. Its been stated that is it has been severely weakened.

I think that your explanation is right on point. Our best evidence comes from the Bands of Mourning. Near the end I remember there is a scene where Wax Steel pushes himself into the sky using the Bands. What I remember is he describes that the effort required to balance himself so high without the Bands would have required more effort and multiple coins. This would mean that the OG MIsborn would have had stronger and longer "poles" to use when pushing on metals. The potency of their "pole" decreased as time went on through the generations.
