The 1st and 6th Heightening allow you to sense and measure breaths in people and awakened objects. Would they also allow you to sense and measure other forms of investiture? Would someone with the 1st Heightening be able to sense how much stormlight a radiant has, or how much metal a misting has? Would someone with the 6th Heightening be able to tell how much stormlight is in a gem, or how charged some sand is?

How does the 3d landscape of a planet translate in the 2d-ish space of the cognitive realm? Does it have to do with how people perceive it which allows them to worldhop to other planets? How would you, for example, run from the North Pole of a planet to its South Pole in the cognitive realm? It's something that's never quite made sense to me, and I know that the cognitive realm looks different on different planets.

My wife asked this question yesterday at Gencon

"Does harmony have Straff Venture's Atium"

The paraphrased answer was this

Brandon: " Harmony has everything he needs, but that doesn't answer your question, No Harmony does not have Straff's Atium"

Great question! Do you mind posting this again over on the GenCon thread in the events forum? More people will see it there. (I could quote your post there to share the WoB, but you ought to get the credit and upvotes.)

Sure thing! Thanks for the idea!

Questions!!!

1. How many squires can one Radiant have? Is it a finite number or based off of their abilities/traits?

2. What exactly are the abilities of a squire? Can they benefit from stormlight but not surgebind, or can they surgebind but much more weakly than a Radiant?

3. Do Alethi (and Veden) have epicanthic folds?

4. Which is physically stronger - someone holding a lot of stormlight, or a pewter misting?

5. Is Vivenna a worldhopper alongside Vasher?

6. How many volumes are planned for White Sand?

7. Is Dragonsteel planned for after, or during Stormlight Archive?

8. Which of the Cosmere books is your favorite? Which magic system is your favorite?

9. Which city in all of the Cosmere would you live in if you had a choice?

10. How will allomantic, feruchemical, and hemalurgic powers have changed by Mistborn era 3?

10 1/2. Please come to Seattle? :D

7. Is Dragonsteel planned for after, or during Stormlight Archive?

It'll take place before. Dragonsteel is basically the prequel to the events of the entire Cosmere. 

He won't actually write it until after Stormlight 10 though, if that's what you're asking.

@Andy92 Thanks, I was wondering when the books were planned to be released. I hope they're as awesome as S.A. is so far!

(P.S. I like your profile icon!)

Thanks! I've seen some others using it here too. There are some other ones online for the different KR orders as well.

I can probably answer a few of your other questions too.

I'm not sure about the exact numbers, but we do know that Windrunners have more squires than the other orders. Bridge 4 will comprise Kaladin's squires. Some orders don't have any squires at all.

We'll probably receive more insight on this one in Oathbringer when Kaladin will be training with his squires (presumably).

If Vasher is on Roshar where the hell is Vivenna?

OOOOOH that’s a RAFO!

Question

What happened to Vivenna?

Brandon Sanderson

This will be answered very soon.

(These answers tend to make me think she's on Roshar...because we aren't getting a Warbreaker sequel "very soon.")

6. How many volumes are planned for White Sand?

There will be 2 more graphic novels released in the future making a 3 part set of graphic novels that tells a single story. I'm not sure what Brandon has planned for the world of Taldain after the graphic novel trilogy is finished.

When the 9 Herald left the oathpact during the Prelude, were they already insane? Or was the insanity something that came over the 4500 years that came later? Other than Talenel, did their insanity come while they were being tortured in the place they return to between desolations?

Parshendi blood is orange. Chasmfiend ichor is purple.The Prelude mentions bodies strewn about, some of which aren't human. Three different colours of blood are mentioned: Red, Orange and Violet. Is the Red blood Human, the Orange blood Parshendi, and the Violet blood Chasmfiend? If no, then which ones are wrong?

There's also this to take into account.

What colour is Aimian blood? Is it purple or orange?

BRANDON SANDERSON

That's a really good question. It depends on the kind of Aimian. One has purple blood and one has orange blood.

Interesting. Kinda ruins my argument a little. But it could also tie the Aimians to the Listeners, as well as the Chasmfiend.

From memory, Dragonsteel is supposed to be set on Yolen before Adonalsium was shattered. We'd get to see the 16 Vessels back when they were normal people, maybe even see the Shattering itself. So.. way before.
If you were asking in regards to when he is gonna write Dragonsteel, it's gonna be a ways after SA.

Keep in mind that we could get a Vasher Pov. It's a tad unlikely, but he could do it, with a passing thought from Vasher about Vivienna. Nothing too much, because that'd spoil some of Nightblood(Book). Just something to keep in mind.

The powers don't change as time goes on. They will be the same as they are now, the same as they were in TFE era. Kelsier could've done the same steel bubble trick that Wax does if he practiced it, so the power isn't somehow different in Era 2. The main "change" will be how many we know, and new/creative ways to use them.

Have a thread where this was discussed(and thoroughly confused at points)

True, it could be something along those lines. We did get a (short) Zahel PoV interlude in WoR, so we could see another one where a reference to Vivenna comes up.

He could also bring her up in conversation if somebody (I'd say Kaladin, but Shallan might have better odds of getting him to open up) asks him about his past. That way he can say something vague without inner monologue spoilers for the audience, as well as not needing to devote another interlude to Zahel if Brandon doesn't want to.

Harmony did something to the people of scadrial that has made it easier for them to snap. If one of these post-Catacendre scadrians were to travel to Roshar, would the change that Harmony made make it easier for them to bond a spren?

Would a parshendi be able to hear the rhythms off-Roshar?

The Rhythms are in the Spiritual Realm, which is location independent, so I would assume so.

Hemalurgic spikes can enhance an allomancer's skill if they can burn the same metal as that of the spike. Does it do anything for feruchemists, like increase their capacity to fill a metalmind or how efficaciously they discharge a metalmind? What about a compounder? I feel like that would be the supercharged combo, a spiked compounder...

Posted

Why didn't Marsh relocate his eye spikes and healed back his eyes?

Sight is pretty much the most important sense. His metalsight would continue to be as good as it were (we know savants can potentially reach the level of Inquisitor metalsight).

He doesn't loose anything by restoring his sight and there's much to gain.
