Guest Posted June 7, 2015 Posted June 7, 2015 Interview: Jan 17th, 2015 Firefight Tour - El Cerrito, CA (Paraphrased) QuestionCool. The other big one that I had was, um, how far ahead in the timeline is Sixth of Dusk? Brandon Sanderson Pretty far. Question… kind of a general- Brandon SandersonMost people that I’m writing about now are all dead. QuestionIs it up into the third trilogy of Mistborn? Brandon SandersonIt is that era, yes. QuestionSweet! That’s what I thought. Brandon SandersonIt might be a little bit before that trilogy, but it’s that era
Young Bard he/him Posted June 8, 2015 Posted June 8, 2015 I really want to know more about Khriss and Nazh. We haven't seen Khriss yet in the books, and she knows more about the Cosmere than Hoid.
Jo and the Bush all/any Posted June 10, 2015 Posted June 10, 2015 In the Alcatraz series, there are several jokes that are dependent on reading the book, such as when you flip the text upside down, or start capitalizing random letters. Are you going to change those jokes if you release Audiobooks of Alcatraz?
Jo and the Bush all/any Posted June 13, 2015 Posted June 13, 2015 In TES, stamps are more likely to stick if they are making something beautiful, as with the wall painting. Is it easier to soulcast something into a beautiful shape rather than a ugly shape? Are Hoi or Oid Aons? If they are, what do they mean?
natc Posted June 13, 2015 Posted June 13, 2015 I'm pretty sure we have the entire Aon alphabet revealed, Joe.
SmurfAquamarineBodies he/him Posted June 13, 2015 Posted June 13, 2015 I'm pretty sure we have the entire Aon alphabet revealed, Joe. Where?
natc Posted June 13, 2015 Posted June 13, 2015 Well now that I got a good look at the page again it does say "Known" at the top, which is my bad for being mistaken. Brandon can technically still make it longer. But honestly I can already tell what Joe is asking. And the answer is probably no and nothing.
WeiryWriter he/him Posted June 13, 2015 Posted June 13, 2015 Well now that I got a good look at the page again it does say "Known" at the top, which is my bad for being mistaken. Brandon can technically still make it longer. But honestly I can already tell what Joe is asking. And the answer is probably no and nothing. Yeah since the text says there are "hundreds" of Aons the glossary is hardly an exhaustive list (there are actually several Aons mentioned in-book that do not appear in the glossary as well)
SmurfAquamarineBodies he/him Posted June 13, 2015 Posted June 13, 2015 Has a Spren ever gone to another planets Cognitive realm?
Oudeis he/him Posted June 14, 2015 Posted June 14, 2015 Has a Spren ever gone to another planets Cognitive realm? Make sure to ask this to specify exactly what you mean; spren apparently exist on every world, but are only visible and interact with the physical realm on Roshar. Was Elend's Lerasium-bronze stronger than Vin's hemalurgically enhanced bronze?
Jo and the Bush all/any Posted June 16, 2015 Posted June 16, 2015 Well now that I got a good look at the page again it does say "Known" at the top, which is my bad for being mistaken. Brandon can technically still make it longer. But honestly I can already tell what Joe is asking. And the answer is probably no and nothing. There's always the possibility of more info.
Guest Posted June 16, 2015 Posted June 16, 2015 I'm pretty sure we have the entire Aon alphabet revealed, Joe. Not if they figure out how to take Aons off-world. New geography would mean new forms of the existing Aons, but with new features we could also see entirely new Aons. (For example, Icebergs and Glacier features don't exist in current Aon forms)
Emerald101 he/him Posted June 16, 2015 Posted June 16, 2015 Not if they figure out how to take Aons off-world. New geography would mean new forms of the existing Aons, but with new features we could also see entirely new Aons. (For example, Icebergs and Glacier features don't exist in current Aon forms) But for that to really do anything, you'd have to take the dor off-world.
Guest Posted June 16, 2015 Posted June 16, 2015 But for that to really do anything, you'd have to take the dor off-world. Which was my point, and can be done. INTERVIEW: Mar 11th, 2014 WoR Signing Report - Awesomeness Summoned (Verbatim) QUESTION Is there a region based magic like Elantris on any of the other worlds? BRANDON SANDERSON The Aon magic is unique to that planet because it is intrinsic to the shard that created it, but you could theoretically hack the magic system so that AonDor would work on another planet. Even without taking the magic off-world, a climate-change event could bring Icebergs to Elantris, allowing new Aons.
Emerald101 he/him Posted June 22, 2015 Posted June 22, 2015 Does investiture follow other laws in addition to the laws of thermodynamics? If so, could you name one for us?
natc Posted June 23, 2015 Posted June 23, 2015 The law of conservation of [insert thing here] that seems to apply to most of physics is a thing with investiture, I'm pretty sure.
Guest Posted June 23, 2015 Posted June 23, 2015 The law of conservation of [insert thing here] that seems to apply to most of physics is a thing with investiture, I'm pretty sure. So long as you're measuring all 3 Realms simultaneously.
Emerald101 he/him Posted June 23, 2015 Posted June 23, 2015 (edited) The law of conservation of [insert thing here] that seems to apply to most of physics is a thing with investiture, I'm pretty sure. I was already aware that the cosmere follows the Laws of Thermodynamics and the law of the conservation of mass, I was wondering if there were any additional thermodynamic-type laws in the cosmere that deal with investiture, and what those laws might be. Edit: clarity Edited June 23, 2015 by Emerald101

Edit: clarity From what we've seen, Investiture never breaks "normal" physics. Grabs hold of them and twists them into a balloon animal, yes, but never breaks them.
Kurkistan he/him Posted June 23, 2015 Posted June 23, 2015 From what we've seen, Investiture never breaks "normal" physics. Grabs hold of them and twists them into a balloon animal, yes, but never breaks them. It almost certainly throws causality out the window, so that's a bit of a "breaking physics" type thing. The moment you allow for FTL travel or communication cause and effect are not pleased with you; we almost certainly already have travel that gets you from A to B faster than c when you consider travel through Shadesmar, and we will have FTL space travel in future books. 1

That depends on how the FTL drive works. If it involves quickly jumping back-and-forth between the 3 Realms such that you are not moving in the Physical Realm but rather you are quickly flickering between points in Physical space, then Relativity isn't broken in physical space

It doesn't really matter how it's achieved.
Guest Posted June 23, 2015 Posted June 23, 2015 FTL communication necessarily allows violations of causality in a universe without special reference frames, by my understanding. It doesn't really matter how it's achieved. Hmm, that I had not thought of. *waves white flag in surrender*
Oudeis he/him Posted June 24, 2015 Posted June 24, 2015 We know that the Divine Breath can be used to Awaken. What would a Lifeless, animated by a single Divine Breath, be like?
