Moogle Posted August 13, 2014 Posted August 13, 2014 Well, I got my original 3 answered. Three RAFOs. I need to work on my questions.
Mailliw73 he/him Posted August 13, 2014 Posted August 13, 2014 (edited) It looks like he is done now. EDit: Maybe not. Edited August 13, 2014 by Mailliw73
Mailliw73 he/him Posted August 13, 2014 Posted August 13, 2014 (edited) Were the aliens in Sixth of the Dusk from the Mistborn planet? RAFO. (Adding this here because Goodreads won't let me submit such a short answer to a question.)All I've said is that they're from a planet you've seen/heard of before . Both Parshendi and Horneaters are able to see spren ordinary humans can't. Is there a connection between these abilities, or do they come from completely different sources? Horneaters are human/Parshendi hybrids. (There are several Roshar races that have Parshendi blood in them.) Edited August 13, 2014 by Mailliw73 6
bartbug he/him Posted August 13, 2014 Posted August 13, 2014 I asked that, hoping that if I pretended to be naive and unknowing of the planet name, he might be more forgiving in his answer than if he knew I was of the Seventeenth Shard. It didn't work. 2
Argent he/him Posted August 13, 2014 Posted August 13, 2014 Horneaters are human/Parshendi hybrids. (There are several Roshar races that have Parshendi blood in them.) Ooooo... I don't even know how to comment on that, other than with "ooooo..." 3
Moogle Posted August 13, 2014 Posted August 13, 2014 The Horneaters having Parshendi blood in them just... I don't know. It raises lots of odd biological questions I'm not sure I want an answer on. It should be impossible. I guess magic was used somewhere? At least it solidifes/near-confirms my theory that Horneaters have some Investiture in them that regular humans don't, which explains why they can swim safely in the emerald pools.
HK-42 Posted August 13, 2014 Posted August 13, 2014 (edited) Will we see a new Alcatraz Book anytime soon? Brandon Sanderson I have finished Alcatraz 5, but I don't know what the publication schedule for it will be. I think Tor wants to re-release the first four before doing five. I knew that there are a lot of publishing constraints with the Alcatraz series, but was it known that he had already finished the fifth book? It is sure news to me. I'm loving all these answers. EDIT: Apparently we have known for a few weeks, I just hadn't checked the Alcatraz forums in a while. Edited August 13, 2014 by NavySealsGuy 2
Mailliw73 he/him Posted August 13, 2014 Posted August 13, 2014 Ooooo... I don't even know how to comment on that, other than with "ooooo..." THat's exactly what I thought.
Moogle Posted August 13, 2014 Posted August 13, 2014 Brandon's done answering for now according to his Twitter, but will finish answering everything asked in the first hour or so of the Q&A over the next day. Great guy.
Left he/him Posted August 13, 2014 Posted August 13, 2014 I didn't get either of mine answered so hopefully mine 'll be in that group, I got mine in early ish. My non-sharder friend who is very cosmere astute got several of hers answered though so that's cool
traceria she/her Posted August 13, 2014 Posted August 13, 2014 Were the aliens in Sixth of the Dusk from the Mistborn planet? RAFO.

Horneaters are human/Parshendi hybrids. (There are several Roshar races that have Parshendi blood in them.) Oh! Thanks for sharing that. It didn't even show up in the main link I was following for some reason. Or my eyes skipped over it.
Asperity he/him Posted August 13, 2014 Posted August 13, 2014 Of course I'm crazy late to this. Urgh. From this post: Sounds like he's the dragon in the letter in WoR. I thought that was Khriss.
EHyde she/her Posted August 13, 2014 Posted August 13, 2014 I sense a Kurk question. Does Roshar have CATS! nope that was me XD He hasn't answered my other question yet.
Mailliw73 he/him Posted August 13, 2014 Posted August 13, 2014 Of course I'm crazy late to this. Urgh. I thought that was Khriss. I don't think Khriss is a dragon. We don't have confirmation either way, But even if she is a dragon, I don't think Hoid is writing to her.
traceria she/her Posted August 13, 2014 Posted August 13, 2014 My personal favorite was the ice cream question. Will anyone take ownership of that one?
WeiryWriter he/him Posted August 13, 2014 Author Posted August 13, 2014 My personal favorite was the ice cream question. Will anyone take ownership of that one? That was a tumblr person.
Popular Post PeterAhlstrom he/him Posted August 13, 2014 Popular Post Posted August 13, 2014 I asked Brandon about that "Full Feruchemist" question and he said he misread the question. 18
Mailliw73 he/him Posted August 13, 2014 Posted August 13, 2014 That's what I was curious about. It was mine and I was kinda confused. Will he answer it again?
Mailliw73 he/him Posted August 13, 2014 Posted August 13, 2014 Did the Lord Ruler know how to worldhop? Brandon Sanderson: He was familiar with the idea that people lived on other planets, but had no interest--or experience--in visiting other places. During his Ascension, he could have left Scadrial, if he'd wished. Could Miles heal back his Allomancy if it was spiked out of him? Brandon Sanderson: No, he could not. He would no longer be an Allomancer. Also, he'd probably be dead. There is certain type of chicken that makes two appearances in Words of Radiance, is that chicken an Aviar? Brandon Sanderson: No, but good question. This question contains spoilers… [if a Kandra eats a bead of Larasium, can he burn it? Alternatively can he gain allomancy via hemalurgy? (hide spoiler)] Brandon Sanderson: Yes on both counts.
Dellexe he/him Posted August 13, 2014 Posted August 13, 2014 (edited) Can I still ask any questions? Or am I too late? - Also, I love these answers. - Another random thing, can someone help me figure out how fast someone has to be moving for air resistance to kill them? It's important. Vitally so. EDIT: So Horneaters are Part-Parshendi (Partshendi? ). Interesting. I recall seeing something about Herdazians having some similarities to Horneaters somewhere, could they be Partshendi too, just less so than Horneaters? Edited August 13, 2014 by Kal Dell
Moogle Posted August 13, 2014 Posted August 13, 2014 Could Miles heal back his Allomancy if it was spiked out of him? Brandon Sanderson: No, he could not. He would no longer be an Allomancer. Also, he'd probably be dead. I'm confused - how would Miles die if he kept tapping his goldminds? Shouldn't they heal his soul as it happens?
Kurkistan he/him Posted August 13, 2014 Posted August 13, 2014 (edited) Either Brandon misunderstood the question or, as I've been postulating for awhile now, the nature of how Hemalurgy harms the soul makes it harder/impossible to heal back than Shardblade wounds; that and soul-damage can apparently kill you outright, since presumably Miles would at least be able to heal the physical damage. I "Commented" a follow-up. Edited August 13, 2014 by Kurkistan
Dellexe he/him Posted August 13, 2014 Posted August 13, 2014 I'm confused - how would Miles die if he kept tapping his goldminds? Shouldn't they heal his soul as it happens? I think his ability to use Feruchemical gold healing is ripped out completely before it has a chance to be healed back. That, or the Hemalurgic Spike just takes everything at once, and he would never have a chance to heal his spiritweb.
Kurkistan he/him Posted August 13, 2014 Posted August 13, 2014 (edited) I asked Brandon about that "Full Feruchemist" question and he said he misread the question. Ah, he thought that the questioner was referring to the Alloy supplement for the Mistborn Adventure Game? (they used "Full Feruchemist" in it). EDIT: Well that was fast. Someone give one of Brandon's old posts an upvote for me. Source: Kurkistan: Could Miles heal back his Allomancy if it was spiked out of him? Brandon Sanderson: No, he could not. He would no longer be an Allomancer. Also, he'd probably be dead. Kurkistan: Thanks! I'd thought maybe he could just do some super-tapping from his existing Health in his goldminds (since he'd still have his Feruchemy)... Brandon Sanderson: Oh, I see what you're asking. Using Feruchemy to heal the removed portion of soul. That's actually plausible, not so different from healing other kinds of soul-wounds. If he survived, then yes, this actually might work. (That's why I get for reading the questions so quickly.) Kurkistan: Thank you! *Now to create a society of infinite Compounding Feruchemists/Allomancers/Hemalurgists in the Mistborn Adventure Game...* Edited August 13, 2014 by Kurkistan 3
