Mage Posted June 25, 2021 Report Share Posted June 25, 2021 Has anyone else noticed that warbreaker uses the word universe instead of Cosmere like Stormlight or Mistborn? Do you think this was intentional, something to do with Hallendren linguistics, or accidental because the Cosmere was younger when Brandon wrote this? Lastly, do you think they would change it in a reprint (this question is for all you leatherbound owners)? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I need the quote to full answer this But the Cosmere is not it’s own Universe, I’m pretty sure. People have attempted/will attempt to leave it which implies there is something outside 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(My personal opinion is that the rest of the universe is rather empty but that’s just me). I don’t remember the exact quote, but I’m era 2 Steris said something to the effect of “do you ever feel like the Cosmere is playing a cruel joke on you?” I think it’s just a linguistics thing where anywhere someone on Earth would say Universe Brandon swaps it for Cosmere, except in warbreaker. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah it’s a dwarf Galaxy in a different dimension then ours Which means that if there is something that is beyond the Cosmere, say other planets, did Adonalisium have control over them? If not the his power was not infinite and can run out 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If not the his power was not infinite and can run out I think Cosmere is Adonalsium’s realm and everything else is the territory of the God Beyond who created this universe (completely different from ours). I would guess from what we have seen of shards, Ado’s power wasn’t infinite because 16 x not infinity = not infinity. I think the God Beyond is more like the God of monotheism. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weltall Posted June 27, 2021 Report Share Posted June 27, 2021 You realize Brandon's never going to confirm or deny that, right? Anyhow, we have Word of Isaac that some of the stars seen in the Arcanum Unbounded chart aren't contained within the Cosmere, meaning that space outside of it is visible to its inhabitants. Depending on how good their astronomy is, various worlds either know or are capable of learning the physical dimensions of the Cosmere and its relation to the wider universe.

Mind you, given the number of stars Brandon has said it contains (one to two hundred depending on when you ask) it's still a very small cluster. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
