Fallen Rope he/him Posted August 18, 2015 Posted August 18, 2015 (edited) Disclaimer: I know Steelheart isn't cosmere. This is just a crazy idea idea I thought of. After she reincarnates, Megan can draw objects out of other universes or "possibility" universes. The cosmere is a universe, so Megan could draw stuff out of it. So it is possible for Hoid to appear in The Reckoners. When Megan talks about Firefight (The parallel universe her/him) she says that the things she draws through might keep the laws from their universe, so powers from the cosmere could work in the reckonerverse, so it is possible to have coinshots in Newcargo.

TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted August 18, 2015 Posted August 18, 2015 Maybe, but from all we've seen so far, Megan can only draw elements from universes directly parallel to her own. All of the universes she's drawn from so far have been Earth-based--and I think that if she were capable of bringing shadows of aliens into Newcago, Steelheart would've had her do so and begun a quest to see where these aliens were located. So I think she can only access alternate Earths along the same timeline. 2
Kobold King he/him Posted August 18, 2015 Posted August 18, 2015 ...and I think that if she were capable of bringing shadows of aliens into Newcago, Steelheart would've had her do so and begun a quest to see where these aliens were located. Eh, maybe. Steelheart doesn't strike me as the kind of guy who would care overly much as long as they weren't a threat. He didn't seem to care about other Epics beyond his territory, nor did he endorse any scientific research or exploration by his city's people. I don't think he'd have cared about aliens so long as they stayed in their universe and didn't bother him. 1

I don't think he'd have cared about aliens so long as they stayed in their universe and didn't bother him. Though how would he have known they weren't a threat unless he studied them at least a little? It wouldn't have to be a full-scale study; just enough to figure out their technology level and distance from Earth. 2

It wouldn't have to be a full-scale study; just enough to figure out their technology level and distance from Earth. Fair point. Though since as far as we know he never wanted to find out anything about the powerful Epics from the universes Firefight scried into, I still think he operated on the assumption that the shadows were harmless and wouldn't have worried about them unless given a good reason too. 2

So I think she can only access alternate Earths along the same timeline. Going with this thought, as seen in Firefight, there is a male version of her that she often used as the front when she worked with steelheart. Thus, because she can only draw elements from a 'directly parallel' dimension from herself, it would mean that in order to connect to the cosmere there would have to be a version of herself in the cosmere... right? 2

Evil_Reptile Posted August 19, 2015 Posted August 19, 2015 I think Hoid could probably appear in The Reckoners, whether it makes sense or not, just by virtue of being Hoid. 14
Joe ST he/him Posted August 19, 2015 Posted August 19, 2015 I think Hoid could probably appear in The Reckoners, whether it makes sense or not, just by virtue of being Hoid. I'm sure he'll be hoiding in there somewhere 6
Newan he/him Posted August 19, 2015 Posted August 19, 2015 Could she access the cosmere? I don't know. More importantly, could she access our universe? Definitely. Never let your guard down. You could be alternate Megan. Any moment, you could be ripped from the comfort of our simple little world and thrust into a universe of danger and awesome power. 8
Voidus Posted August 19, 2015 Posted August 19, 2015 Could she access the cosmere? I don't know. More importantly, could she access our universe? Definitely. Never let your guard down. You could be alternate Megan. Any moment, you could be ripped from the comfort of our simple little world and thrust into a universe of danger and awesome power. You say that like the cosmere isn't a part of our universe. On topic I think it's possible certainly, Brandon said something similar about the cosmere potentially being a mirror world from the WoT.
Stormgate he/him Posted November 10, 2015 Posted November 10, 2015 Perhaps Megan could bring chalklings and teddy bear grenades in, as they are both from alternate Earths. (Rithmatist and Alcatraz, respectively) 1

(Rithmatist and Alcatraz, respectively) Step 1: Bring in Alcatraz. Step 2: Break Calamity, Epic corruption, and half the Eastern Seaboard. Step 3: ????? Step 4: Profit. 8
mirahound she/her Posted November 15, 2015 Posted November 15, 2015 Is it bad all I can think about now is Hoid being genuinely confused by being dragged suddenly into someone ELSE's crazy schemes? 8
Stormgate he/him Posted November 19, 2015 Posted November 19, 2015 No, it takes a while to get used to such things. It took me three years, and I still haven't completely gotten used to the experience. 1
+Ark1002 Posted June 27, 2018 Posted June 27, 2018 Spoiler She can only draw from one stable dimension, and anywhere in between. Also, it is specifically stated by Brandon Sanderson that Reckoners does not have the Cosmere as a universe. 3
BitBitio he/him Posted August 30, 2018 Posted August 30, 2018 *realizes that not only was that a big necro, it was also a double post* And no one scolded him? @Ark1002, consider yourself scolded. *leaves*
BitBitio he/him Posted September 5, 2018 Posted September 5, 2018 The difference between 3 years and 2 months is quite a bit, @MountainKing.

Plain and simple. *feels the need to once again necro this* As it happens, we do have a WoB that some theoretical epic who could access any universe could probably do it if you believe in infinite variety enough. Not Megan probably though. Quote Questioner What are the chances that one of Megan's alternate realities could secretly be the cosmere, but we'll never see it? Brandon Sanderson Heh... Um, I would like to keep these two separate. But if you believe in infinite variety then I suppose... Questioner If I believe it hard enough! Okay, alright. But they're-- But they're meant to be separate. Brandon Sanderson They are meant to be separate. I will do other things with that-- within-- kind of that idea of multiple dimensions and things like that. Questioner In the Reckoners? In that world? Brandon Sanderson Yeah. source
