Planets have souls?

[Farnsworth]

Thanks to @Pagerunner's wonderful Reddit wob list, I found an interesting wob.

 

Q: Do cosmere planets have a soul, like in final fantasy?

A: Yes.

Wait... whaaa? They have souls? Are they shard based? Uncle Andy based? What's going on here?

If they do have souls, then what happens if Nalthus gives its breath to some one. Assuming it is at all possible. Also I just want to see a Mogo moment

I actually speculated this, and it made me think. If a planet has a soul, can it think? Do different planets "interact" with each other? And what does this mean about Sel? Could Sel become the Vessel of D&D? A sentient Shard planet?

Also a chair in the Cosmere has a Soul, but I don't think you could say that a chair could think (and the ability to think It's more related to the Mind rather than Soul).

About a Planet to become a Vessel. I find It unlikely, a Shard want a complete mind to direct Its Power....without weird cases, every Human being would be a Better Vessel than a Planet.
