Thaidakar the Ghostblood Posted September 21, 2021 Report Share Posted September 21, 2021 I just read the postscript of Elantris tenth anniversary edition and wewhee that contains some puzzles, one caught my attention more then others when the skate said, "you did not get the powers you promised us you would get." I immediately thought about how Hoid refused to become a shard, and that somewhere it mentions that Skaze and Seons were around before the shattering. I am preposing that Yolen is Sel, no-one can find Yolen because Yolen is Sel. the plasma field around sel in the cognitive realm has prevented study of the planet for a long time and just now are they discovering things about it. Sel is Yolen, people of the shard convince me this is not a good theory. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elegy Posted September 21, 2021 Report Share Posted September 21, 2021 I'm afraid not Hoid tried to become an Elantrian there, but he didn't figure out how to actually do it - which is why he reverts to stealing the Moon Scepter: Quote Questioner Are we ever going to see the Moon Scepter on screen and what it does? Brandon Sanderson Yes, you should see the Moon Scepter on screen. What it does is it works as a kind of Rosetta Stone for interpreting some of the magics. Questioner So that's why Hoid wanted it? Brandon Sanderson That's why Hoid wanted it, yes. He's trying to figure out how to give himself-- To be able to use the magics on Sel, and that's a key that he wanted. Skyward Houston signing (Nov. 19, 2018) Sel is also not Yolen for several reasons. The Cosmere standard is Yolish, and Sel's size is 1.5 Cosmere standard. Also, Yolen has no Shards: Quote Pagerunner In The Traveler, which you read here [at a prior JordanCon], Hoid was on Yolen. He has only worldhopped with perpendicularities. Does Yolen have a perpendicularity? Brandon Sanderson Yolen has something very similar. Pagerunner Okay, is it associated with a Shard? Brandon Sanderson You would call it a perpendicularity, but there is not a Shard in residence on Yolen.

mathiau Posted September 22, 2021 Report Share Posted September 22, 2021 24 minutes ago, Thaidakar the Ghostblood said: it mentions that Skaze and Seons were around before the shattering. They were not, they were created when Odium killed Dom and Dev Quote Kogiopsis (paraphrased) How long before the events of Elantris did Odium kill Aona/Devotion and Skai/Dominion? Brandon Sanderson (paraphrased) Same time as the origins of the seons. Footnote: Kogiopsis: This was the second-closest I came to getting RAFO'd. He was sort of jovially apologetic about this answer; I tried to get a solid number of years but to no avail.

You're probably thinking of this WoB where he started to say seons, then corrected himself. Spren predate the Shattering as a general category, but the sapient ones came later. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zoey Posted September 22, 2021 Report Share Posted September 22, 2021 Yeah, we know for certain that Sel isn't Yolen. My theory is that Yolen might be somewhere in the Scar. The red is related to corrupted Investiture, which might have been all created and spread around the Scar during the Shattering. That is at least how I think of it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
