bartbug he/him Posted December 13, 2013 Posted December 13, 2013 I would love to go to this one, but my Utah vacation starts a week from now. When I first saw the date, Saturday, I got so excited because I thought it might mean next Saturday, when I would be there. Alas, twas not to be, and now I must beg thee of the 17th Shard to go in my stead. Some questions, if anyone goes: Scadrial: Allomancers have Allomancy because of their extra Preservation. How does Feruchemy have this relationship? Is it more Ruin and Preservation together, or is it something else?Will there be any full Terrismen in future Wax and Wayne books? SoSiFoH Would shades respond to someone allomanticly burning a metal, or Surgebinding? Roshar Could a cognitive entity, like a spren or a seon, pull some of their Cognitive-ness into the physical realm permenantly? For example, when Wyndle's vine leavings turn to dust, does that does stay there? If Wyndle moved more fully into the physical realm, would he have a physical make up? Is Gaz a surgebinder like Elhokar? If so, then did Darkness kill him? If Darkness met Kaladin, would he try and kill him?
firstRainbowRose she/her Posted December 13, 2013 Posted December 13, 2013 Why in the world would you vacation here?! 2
Shardbearer he/him Posted December 13, 2013 Posted December 13, 2013 I'm pretty sure Utah is a prime skiing/snowboarding location with all that powdery snow.
firstRainbowRose she/her Posted December 13, 2013 Posted December 13, 2013 Oh... right.... that stuff. *is not a fan of the snow* I hope you have fun while you're here!
Kurkistan he/him Posted December 13, 2013 Posted December 13, 2013 Will there be any full Terrismen in future Wax and Wayne books? You mean "Feruchemist", I think. For everyone's benefit: we racked up quite a large number of questions on this thread, as well as this one. The questions about AonDor and chronic injuries, Full Lashings, and the anagram were answered in the threads in question.
Aether he/him Posted December 13, 2013 Posted December 13, 2013 (edited) I still want to know primarily if there were Cadmium/Bendalloy and possibly Chromium/Nicrosil Mistings in the final empire. EDIT: And if he doesn't RAFO that, and the answer is yes, ask if the Mists were snapping those as well. Edited December 13, 2013 by Aether
blackbird he/him Posted December 13, 2013 Posted December 13, 2013 Could someone please ask Brandon what an Oldblood is? He took the time to describe them and point them out so who and what are they? that has been bugging me since my first read. "The war room door was open, and Teleb- highofficer on duty- saluted as Dalinar entered. Teleb was a straight-backed man with light green eyes. He kept his long hair in a braid and had a blue tattoo on his cheek, marking him as an Oldblood."

Rafo material for sure, all this tidbit he always save for the books =) Edited December 13, 2013 by Natans
bartbug he/him Posted December 13, 2013 Author Posted December 13, 2013 I'm going mostly for visiting relatives. I actually don't like skiing or snowboarding.
blackbird he/him Posted December 13, 2013 Posted December 13, 2013 Rafo material for sure, all this tidbit he always save for the books =) Possibly but I think it is worth a shot!
Natans he/him Posted December 13, 2013 Posted December 13, 2013 Possibly but I think it is worth a shot! Agree, every shot is worth give them hell friend
Aether he/him Posted December 16, 2013 Posted December 16, 2013 Possibly no one. It was a shout out for anyone who might go, but no one really said they were going
PeterAhlstrom he/him Posted December 16, 2013 Posted December 16, 2013 There is a little more about Teleb in book 2. I went to the signing, or at least part of it. No one came up to talk to me. If they had, I would have shown them the final cover art. I didn't hear anyone ask Brandon any interesting questions. 3
Kurkistan he/him Posted December 16, 2013 Posted December 16, 2013 Thanks for the info; good to know Brandon wasn't giving out Realmatics textbooks or anything. 2
The Rooster he/him Posted December 16, 2013 Posted December 16, 2013 Little do we know.. He had previously vowed to answer all questions without RAFO-ing at this signing, right? 1
Pinpoint he/him Posted December 16, 2013 Posted December 16, 2013 (edited) Nope, I showed up during the last 30 minutes and got RAFO'd. For some reason I have the overwhelming urge to frame the RAFO card and hang it up by the front door for all my visitors to see. I could also get Brandon's fingerprints highlighted and sell the card in 30 years for a couple thousand dollars....Yes I fervently believe he will become that famous. Edited December 16, 2013 by Pinpoint 4
Kurkistan he/him Posted December 16, 2013 Posted December 16, 2013 What was the question? It's useful to know what he RAFO's.
Pinpoint he/him Posted December 16, 2013 Posted December 16, 2013 You probably already knew this would be a RAFO. I guessed that it would be. In fact I think that someone has already asked it. The question was why are spren so disturbed about shardblades? He said read book two and find out. Did we already know that we were going to find out in book two? If not, at least I accomplished something. 2
Shardlet he/him Posted December 16, 2013 Posted December 16, 2013 Well <shuffles feet and coughs awkwardly> yeah, we kinda knew already.
Pinpoint he/him Posted December 16, 2013 Posted December 16, 2013 (edited) Another question I had but forgot to ask this. If the first picture is Wax and the second picture is Wayne, (sorry about the blurry photo) then why is Wayne holding a gun? Edited December 16, 2013 by Pinpoint
Aether he/him Posted December 16, 2013 Posted December 16, 2013 Those aren't canon as being either one, just an artists depiction of them. One of them even has Steam-punk goggles, even though they don't exist in the book, nor is it really Steam-punk at all.
Pinpoint he/him Posted December 16, 2013 Posted December 16, 2013 (edited) Wax does wear goggles at one point in the book and Wayne wears a hat so... I guess this is a lot like the Brazilian cover for Mistborn where Kelsier is fighting five inquisitors at the same time. Edited December 17, 2013 by Pinpoint
cem he/him Posted December 17, 2013 Posted December 17, 2013 There can be some wild inaccuracies in book covers. Writers generally don't have much control of them as I understand it. At least until they're famous, then things change a bit. Have you guys read The Dresden Files series? 16 book covers so far and all of them show the protagonist wearing a fedora, but the guy has never worn a hat. It has pretty much become a running gag. Jim Butcher wrote Harry say that he hated hats a couple of times in the books. Makes me cringe every time I see a Dresden cosplay with a hate, and it happens more times with than without.
Shardbearer he/him Posted December 17, 2013 Posted December 17, 2013 Yeah, Dresden wears no hats and Wayne carries no guns. Cover artists probably don't read the book and authors often don't get veto rights, so yeah.
