Mutantspicy Posted December 29, 2017 Report Share Posted December 29, 2017 I just finished Warbreaker. Loved it. Its one of his better novels IMO. Fun Story. But I have a question regarding Nalthis and Endowment, since they weren't directly mentioned in the book, unless I missed something. I'm just wondering where we get that information from? It seems pretty accepted around here, so I'm not disputing, just curious how the coppermind came to that conclusion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StormingTexan he/him Posted December 29, 2017 Report Share Posted December 29, 2017 Glad you liked it! It is actually one of my favorites too that doesn't get as much love as the others. This was confirmed in a WoB. https://wob.coppermind.net/events/202-barnes-and-noble-book-club-qa/#e5943 Quote Zas678 Now this one will probably be RAFO'd: I know you already said that there are four Shards outside of Ati and Leras in your other books. Could you tell us the numbers per book? Is just a standard two per book? Or do some have more than others? Brandon Sanderson Some worlds have more than others. You have seen the effects, influences, and work of four other Shards. One Shard, however, was no longer on the world by the time the story was told there. Zas678 I know that we've "interacted with two directly" (the pool in Elantris, and The Voice that called Lightsong back to life) that we've "seen it's power" (Dahkhor??) and another that we've seen their infulence (I have no idea on this one, though I think it might be whatever pointed out Aon Rao in Elantris to Raoden) Brandon Sanderson Nice guesses on most of those. You've got some things right. You've got some things wrong. The only thing I'll confirm (and I don't think I've said this before) is that The Voice is, indeed, one of the Shards of Adonalsium. (Endowment is that Shard's true name, by the way.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mutantspicy Posted December 29, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2017 Ahh! Thank you! Exactly what I was looking for. Kind of a big reveal for a WOB tho. Thanks again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brandon likes to do stuff like that at times. There was one at the OB release recently that blew the collective minds of all the greatest theorists on the Shard. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Out of curiosity, which WoB are you referring to? the Oathbringer signings in general have been particularly enlightening, maybe even disproportionately so, compared to recent ones.

I'm guessing referring to this one. This one blew my mind at least. Putting in spoiler tag because it contains slight spoilers for OB. Spoiler Yurisses [PENDING REVIEW] Investiture on First of the Sun is associated with a Shard? Brandon Sanderson [PENDING REVIEW] Yes, it is. That one is even closer associated with a Shard, the actual Investiture of the magic. Remember when I say Investiture, I mean matter, energy and magic. Sometimes the word Investiture just to the magic such as the Aviar and in that it is directly associated with one of the Shards Yurisses [PENDING REVIEW] Which one? Brandon Sanderson [PENDING REVIEW] Patji is a Shard of Adonalsium Everyone in the room [PENDING REVIEW] *Stunned silence* Overlord Jebus [PENDING REVIEW] Sorry, can you say that again? Brandon Sanderson [PENDING REVIEW] Patji is a Shard of Adonalsium Aurimus [PENDING REVIEW] Is that one of the Aviar? Brandon Sanderson [PENDING REVIEW] No that is the island Overlord Jebus [PENDING REVIEW] Island or islands? Brandon Sanderson [PENDING REVIEW] The island but Patji is one of the islands. Yurisses [PENDING REVIEW] It's a Shard?! Brandon Sanderson [PENDING REVIEW] Yes, big asterisk! But yes. Aurimus [PENDING REVIEW] Shard as in equal or Shard as in a mass of Investiture? Brandon Sanderson [PENDING REVIEW] As in one of the 16 Shards of Adonalsium is represented and involved in First of the Sun. In fact, one of the letters references First of the Sun in this *Indicates to Oathbringer* Sorry, I probably killed some theories on that one. Overlord Jebus [PENDING REVIEW] Yup, but by doing that you've confirmed some as well so it's fine!
