It's time.

[Frustration]

Alright, what is everyone looking forward to in The Lost Metal?

[Kingsdaughter613]

Kelsier. What the RUSTS is he up to?

[Spren of Kindness]

Alright, here we go, let's do this!

Wax'n'Wayne shenanigans is one of the things I'm waiting for.  I know a lot of people get annoyed by the humor, but as a not-very-funny person, I like humorous segments.  The old Mulan, the animated one probably has something to do with it.

[Frustration]

I'm intrested in getting to see more of External Temporal metals, Feruchemical spiritual metals, and Ettmetal.

Oh, and how Atium works into this.

And Trell and how he is totally Odium

And a bunch of other things

I want to be able to settle my bets on whether the Lost Metal in question is actually atium or something else.

But I really just want my magic cowboys back.

[Pagerunner]

I'm hoping to see some references to silver and a certain silver-nickel alloy, either worked into the story itself or in the Ars Arcanum.

[Bejarden]

Rusts and ruin I can’t wait! Got my tinfoil hat on and I’m ready to go to Elendel

 

[PandACT]

can't wait for Steris to ascend or something

no way I'm right :P

[Random Bystander]

I really want to see where [redacted] is. You know, Hoid's [redacted]?

[StanLemon]

How Unsealed Metalminds are made. So many Cosmere relevant things could be learned from that. To a lesser extent, the limits of Nicrosil Feruchemy as Brandon has implied there is more to it than what we know

Nicrosil Feruchemy would be pretty cool to find out about, yeah. Unsealed metalminds I wouldn't be surprised if we didn't learn about until Era 3, at least in any great detail.

I've always held it as headcannon that it is. It is referred to inworld as "Atium: the lost metal," but I think that the question truly is how will it be used?

Is there an official thread for prediction of the Lost Metal? My favorite prediction (from a reddit thread I don't remember) is that the Set is using the women they abduct as baby factories for their Hemalurgy. 

[Palantir Watcher]

I really want to learn more about Southern Scadrial. I also wouldn't mind a bit more info on the spiritual metals, especially duralumin and chromium (unlikely as it may be that we learn more about them).

[Chinkoln]

I want to know what an Excisor is. That is the only thing I hope to gain from this book. Literally.

[HSuperLee]

Ah, Mistborn, my first love of the Cosmere. It will be excellent to have back.

 

Really though, what I'm most excited for is just seeing Mistborn written with Sanderson's heightened skills. I think its safe to say that writing Stormlight and then managing other projects around it has really been power-leveling for his abilities as a writer, and so I just want to see what he can do with the Mistborn setting and characters now that he's better than he was when he last visited the series.

I wanna see Harmony's Perpendicularity (ies?), Ettmetal mines, and more of SoScadrian Culture.

Sadly, I think that’s slated for Era 3.

[Halyo_Alex]

I want more science stuff. Like different effects from Ettmetal (we see Chromium acts at a distance from a primer cube), what would bronze do in a primer cube??

Surprisingly, yes, I do, and I agree haha.

I waffle in a vaguely concerningly uncertain triangle between "it's atium!" and "it's the missing lerasium!" and "it's a bunch of Trellium spikes!"
No matter how it ends up, you're right about the real question being the use.

Please tell me where I can find out about this [redacted] you speak of (and what it is.)

In OB/RoW.

*excited unholy screeching noises*

How long has it been? So happy that we'll finally be getting back to Mistborn. Hopefully we get to see some bits of the rest of Scadrial, especially the Southern continent! Ugh, what I wouldn't give to see some exploration & settlement of uninhabited landmasses of Scadrial!

Given that Atium was referred to as "the lost metal" in-world, I'm assuming the title referred to them, but Lerasium would be even more intriguing! I'd be happy to see Ettmetal/Harmonium too.

The Set & the invading Shard & their Faceless Immortals plotline would probably be for the next era, as per initial plans, but I still look forward to what cliffhanger Brandon writes for the conclusion of this era!
