AndrewStirlingMacDonald he/him Posted January 29, 2016 Posted January 29, 2016 Not Galladon and Demoux's 17th Shard, ours. Like, this website. As in, Wax is Brandon, the New Seran party was Every Book Signing Ever, and Khriss was me, and probably you, and a bunch of other 17thers. As soon as Khriss started walking away, I could sense a thousand 17thers crying out for her to come back and ask more pertinent questions about investiture. 9
Moogle Posted January 29, 2016 Posted January 29, 2016 As a moderator note, please keep topic titles very very vague. The original title of this thread, "Khriss is definitely a member of the 17th Shard [bands Spoilers]", is definitely overboard since it reveals Khriss is in the book. 1
AndrewStirlingMacDonald he/him Posted January 29, 2016 Author Posted January 29, 2016 (edited) Apologies. I had thought it would fly since Khriss' writings appear in all of the full novels (at least with the advent of the Elantris 10th anniversary edition). EDIT: to be clear, not being snarky here. Just wanted to explain that I did think it through, wasn't just accidentally messing up. I can definitely see how this could come across as too spoilery though.

Argent he/him Posted January 29, 2016 Posted January 29, 2016 Yeah, Khriss is all of us at this point.
RShara she/her Posted January 29, 2016 Posted January 29, 2016 I think Khriss is just one person on this board, and is reading all of our posts incognito so that she can gain more information about the Cosmere.
Ari he/him Posted January 29, 2016 Posted January 29, 2016 And like a good Sharder, she contibuted her own bit, too, letting us know that twinborn are rare enough that Wax's specific combination has only been recorded three times. If Crashers are typical in that regard, that means we would expect there to have been less than 800 twinborn in the Basin's recorded history. That's pretty rare given how large their society would need to be to start supporting the sort of advances Elendel is showing.
AndrewStirlingMacDonald he/him Posted January 29, 2016 Author Posted January 29, 2016 That's a good point. And made further interesting by the cast number of possible combinations of twinborn. It's completely possible - likely, even - that there are combinations that have yet to ever be realized. Some of which could have VERY interesting "bonuses." Also makes it all the more impressive how many Twinborn Wax has killed. At least two that I can think of.
Stormgate he/him Posted February 13, 2016 Posted February 13, 2016 I think that the number may be increasing in recent (in book) years due to the fact that more Terris are leaving the village.
Tellingdwar he/him Posted February 15, 2016 Posted February 15, 2016 I remember thinking "Brandon put this scene in just for the 17th Sharders. Specifically, to mess with us." 2
Stormgate he/him Posted February 16, 2016 Posted February 16, 2016 (edited) I remember thinking "Brandon put this scene in just for the 17th Sharders. Specifically, to mess with us." As well as to give us some information on the physics of the Metallic Arts. Edited February 16, 2016 by Stormgate

I'm probably bring stupid, but I can't think of the second twinborn he killed, I can only think of Miles. Who is it?
