Quantus Posted December 16, 2020 Report Share Posted December 16, 2020 "Thousands" Setting aside the individuals we know of, there are there Ghostbloods, the Ire, Silverlight, and the whole trans-planetary commerce system around Nalthis complete with caravans and actual Customs to go through. Quote Questioner We started out in the earlier books knowing that there's this Hoid guy, he's a worldhopper. Hey, worldhoppers exist. And then we've kind of been given more and more. In Secret History it said you'd be surprised about the economy you've upended by destroying the perpedicularity. what amount of people are travelling between worlds? Hundreds? Thousands? Billions? Brandon Sanderson ...Thousands. Questioner Is it like vacation? Or is it like... Brandon Sanderson Well, I wouldn't call it-- Questioner Is it the frontier? Or is it from where you could go? Brandon Sanderson It depends on the roadway. Let's say you look at frontier era America. How hard was it to get to England? It was really far away, but it was actually relatively safe and common to do this. How difficult was it to get to Boise, Idaho? That's harder, but you know how to do it. How easy was it to get to, let's say, the Hawaiian Islands? You're starting to get into like, the question comes here, certain pathways are more traveled. There are going to be caravans, there are going to be guides. There are going to be safe travels between certain places that are done commonly enough that if you are in the know and are in the right place you can be like "I wanna buy passage here." And you go there, and you can have a reasonable expectation that you're going to make it to where you're going. Other places, you say, "I wanna go here", and they're like, "Yeah, I've known someone who tried that and they never came back. I'm not taking you." So, where you're going, where you're trafficking, Khriss gives you some indications of which ones are easy to get to and which ones are commonly visited. I would recommend that if you want to go on vacation in the cosmere, like, "I want to go somewhere different," go to Nalthis. Go to Nalthis. Nalthis is great to go to, right? They even have customs that you can go through. You can like, arrive, and things like this. Don't go to Sel. Sel is not good to go to. Sel is really dangerous to go to. There's a dead Shard--two of them--in the Cognitive Realm that will destroy you. Other places, Scadrial, used to be a lot easier to get to. Roshar, depends on which era you're talking about. Sometimes it's pretty easy to go to. Those nice Horneaters will treat you like a god and feed you food. However, right now, it might not be a good time to try to visit Roshar. JordanCon 2018 (April 21, 2018) Quote Questioner For the worldhopping that happens with Vasher and Vivenna. Does that happen... Are they the humans that came over-- Brandon Sanderson No, they're not. Questioner They're just completely independent people who hopped-- Brandon Sanderson They're moving more with the hidden cosmere economy that has grown up moving between planets. Between Nalthis and Roshar, you can actually catch a caravan. There's actual movement and travel between them. That's been in place on Roshar for quite a while at this point.

Honorless Posted December 17, 2020 Report Share Posted December 17, 2020 (edited) There's also these guys Quote Questioner So, I was curious about Hoid and how he is sending letters to a dragon, while he is on Roshar and the dragon is elsewhere? Brandon Sanderson Yes. So, there is a courier service you can hire in the cosmere. Questioner So, it's like a Pony Express and that on the... Brandon Sanderson Yes. Not everything he's doing is going via that, but it is a thing that exists. Questioner Like, in the Cognitive Realm? Brandon Sanderson Yeah, they have to go through Shadesmar. So... you can hire a very specialized group to get things where they're supposed to go.
