Rlain Posted February 17, 2016 Posted February 17, 2016 Title says it all. I'd like to use the opportunity to get an answer something potentially useful. -Nathan 2
Khyrindor he/him Posted February 17, 2016 Posted February 17, 2016 (edited) This topic should go under the "Events and Signings" Board, but one question I'd like asked is: "Have Odium and Autonomy ever worked together?" And if you're lucky enough to get an answer on that, a followup could be: "Recently?" Though I'm sure that's RAFO bait. Another I might like to see answered is: "Have we seen a Svrakiss on page?" Followup: "On a world besides Sel?" Even if you get a RAFO on that one, it could be revealing. My hopes is that these questions could help us narrow down which Shard is invading Scadrial. If you have time for more, another I have is: "Was the Evil on Threnody related to a Shard?" or possibly: "Was the Evil something we've seen on another world?" Those I think may be RAFO'd though. Another: "If there is no Shard on Threnody, does it still have a Perpendicularity? If not, how did Nazh manage to worldhop?" Minor BoM/Secret History spoilers involving Nazh: We've seen Nazh using some quite sophisticated weaponry, but in Shadows for Silence in the Forests of Hell, that technology is not evident. Does this mean that Shadows for Silence in the Forests of Hell is quite a bit before the events of Mistborn era 1, or did Nazh get his technology from someone else? Thanks so much for the offer! Wasn't able to make it to Seattle today. Edited February 17, 2016 by Khyrindor
Rasarr she/her Posted February 17, 2016 Posted February 17, 2016 Alas, I am ocean away from Seattle, so I'd gladly take up on your offer. For a question: "What - or who - was Threnody named after by the Cosmerans?" (I mean in-universe origin of a name. Hoping to get an answer like "a Shard") "Was there every a Shard or Threnody?" Oh, and one that's been bugging me for a while: "If a Radiant had his spren turn into a bow for him, would the bow need regular arrows, or do they come in package with the spren-bow?" Also, "What about spren-rifle? Would a Radiant need regular ammunition?" 1
Alfa he/him Posted February 18, 2016 Posted February 18, 2016 (edited) More "mundane", less RAFO-triggering questions: Percentage of lighteyes in Alethkar and Jah Keved. Percentage of parshmen. Is aon Ati "hope" related to Ati? Could you create a stamp to forge Sel itself and alter the course of history? On which side of the Aequator is Elendel? - It seems to be to the south, but what is then in the north? What is West of Arelon? What is this Island or peninsula bordering svorden and why is it Not conquered by fjordell? Who is Senna? (RAFO-triggering) How did nazh and khriss acquired immortality? (RAFO-triggering) Where, geographically, had been the oathpact broken? How did ascended rashek separate nobles and skaa? How many people are living on roshar - especially Alethkar? If you measure a seon, could you still use it for coversation or would it be locked like a firespren? Would it have healed elantris by adding a line on the northeastern corner? Why does each aon need only one chasm line and Not a number corresponding to that of aon aons in it? Edited February 18, 2016 by Alfa 1
Rlain Posted February 18, 2016 Author Posted February 18, 2016 The questions I've been toying with are: Is Wayne's Kleptomania linked to the cognitive realm in any way? He appears to be a bit broken. Could one make a bracelet that had a set of stamps surrounding the wrist that activated a different stamp when pressed? If an elantrian were drawing a rune while moving, would the rune move with them? If enough people were born, would people start being born without breaths? If one were unable to speak, but had a speech synthesizer, would one be able to awaken via it? Can someone with a Connection medallion utilize it to know sign language in an area that doesn't have verbal communication and sign is the primary language? If a person dies and becomes a cognitive shadow and then their body is made into a Lifeless, do they act as two different people? Does the cognitive shadow have some control over the Lifeless old body? Is aluminum affected by Bendalloy? Would an aluminum bullet be slowed by Bendalloy? Since the ability to burn metals or store them is contained in the spiritweb, since it can be ripped from one spiritweb and given to another, could a Forger change a person's spiritweb sufficiently to grant them allomantic abilities? Being an inquisitor does not make one impotent. So if two inquisitors had a child, would the child have a higher likelihood of having allomancy or feruchemy? What is it about Aluminum that makes it allomantically inert? Can a Faraday cage made of aluminum render the metals inside it invisible to allomancy? Is one's spiritual DNA somehow encoded on Chromosomes? If so, which chromosomes carry various abilities? And is allomancy or feruchemy a recessive gene? Can a Hemalurgical spike be utilized as both a spike for the granting of a given ability and a location to store an attribute feruchemically? Could a Leecher drain the breath from an awakener? Does having breaths alter one's spiritweb? If one had enough breaths, would a hemaurgical spike be more powerful? Can one be a drab and an allomancer simultaneouslt? Are the ability to hear thoughts or speak to thoughts directly a power unique to Preservation and Ruin? Having a Hemalurgical Spike take a power from you damages your spiritweb in a tremendous way (being alive after would be worse than being a drab). Is it damaging to the SpiritWeb to have a spike put in you and then removed? Does the damage persist? Are there ways to sufficiently rewrite one's spiritweb to attune to different magic systems (feruchemy, allomancy, biChromia, etc)? Has Adonalsium ever been shattered before the event that has led to the events in all the series? What would happen if a drab's arm were sliced by a shardblade? If an Elantrian were on Scadrial, would they have to use a different base rune for their magics? Would the small modifications that specify the exact instruction remain the same? Can the force opposing Adonalsium also be shattered like Adonalsium was? It is implied that a Returned can live off investiture like that found in stormlight. Does this investiture get translated into a corresponding number of breaths? Is there a unit of measurement that can be utilized to determine this amount? Can those Breaths be gifted? Can an invested piece of metal be awakened? What rate would an allomancer have to be burning a metal at producing pure investiture energy to counteract Nightblood's breath-drain?
Oversleep Posted February 18, 2016 Posted February 18, 2016 Is aluminum affected by Bendalloy? Would an aluminum bullet be slowed by Bendalloy? The end of AoL, Vanishers were shooting only aluminum. There is this moment when Wayne gets hit by a bullet (slightly) and sees a bullet about to enter the bubble. He jumps to the side, bullet behaves as normal bullet (richochet, flies through the bubble, richochet, hits normal time) Being an inquisitor does not make one impotent. So if two inquisitors had a child, would the child have a higher likelihood of having allomancy or feruchemy? Already answered, there would be... complications. Can a Hemalurgical spike be utilized as both a spike for the granting of a given ability and a location to store an attribute feruchemically? Yes. Are there ways to sufficiently rewrite one's spiritweb to attune to different magic systems (feruchemy, allomancy, biChromia, etc)? Sanderanswer: Lerasium is one. RAFO. It is implied that a Returned can live off investiture like that found in stormlight. Does this investiture get translated into a corresponding number of breaths? Is there a unit of measurement that can be utilized to determine this amount? Can those Breaths be gifted? There are no Breaths to be gifted, Stormlight is consumed. Change the question to be if an Awakener could convert Stormlight to Breath, since Vasher can feed on Stormlight. Can an invested piece of metal be awakened? Sanderanswer: Investiture interferences with other Investiture. It would be very hard.
djammmer Posted February 18, 2016 Posted February 18, 2016 The question on vasher getting breaths on roshar was asked in line tonight. Answer basically the same as above. Brandon said it is alot easier to get stormlight on roshar... Than breaths. So vasher as a returned is living off stormlight now. 1
Khyrindor he/him Posted February 20, 2016 Posted February 20, 2016 Did you get the chance to get answers on any of these?
Rlain Posted February 20, 2016 Author Posted February 20, 2016 The two questions I asked were: Is Wayne's switching of items linked to something in the cognitive realm? Like he's seeing some connection between them? His answer: No, he's just weird. If one had a connection medallion linked to a location that had sign as a primary language, would the person in question be able to speak sign? His answer: Yes. The medallions utilize the cognitive realm so that would work. Someone else asked if the lord ruler had any children. His answer: Yes. (He didn't say anything else in response) Also, he signed all 15 of my books and my Kindle. I've read all the books multiple times and he actually became even cooler in my mind than he was before. 2

Nice questions. You may want to post them in the relevant Seattle thread in the Events forum if you already haven't, so that the administrators can archive them with the rest of the answers from that event.

WeiryWriter he/him Posted February 20, 2016 Posted February 20, 2016 Nice questions. You may want to post them in the relevant Seattle thread in the Events forum if you already haven't, so that the administrators can archive them with the rest of the answers from that event. Thank you for this, I was just about to say this exact thing. In any case I'm going to be locking this thread, any further discussion should go in the Seattle signing thread.
