Auger he/him Posted January 7, 2019 Posted January 7, 2019 When looking at the Shadesmar map, we see names of places away from Shadesmar called Expanses. I think that the Expanse of the Densities is referring to the 10 Gas Giants in the Rosharan System. Thoughts?
_Tempus_ Posted January 7, 2019 Posted January 7, 2019 Quote XS-Terrain [PENDING REVIEW] Is there anything that we don't know about the Expanses right now that you'd be willing to tell us? Brandon Sanderson [PENDING REVIEW] I think I've told you about all of them. Is there one I haven't told you about yet? XS-Terrain [PENDING REVIEW] Um, I don't know, I've checked the words of Brandon before I wrote these questions. I think we know that um one of them is... Scadrial, and one of them is Warbreaker-- Brandon Sanderson [PENDING REVIEW] So Densities is Sel. We put that one on, right, Expanse of the Densities? So, if we didn't you now know, Densities is Sel. source The Cognitive Realm exists only in a planet if there are people inhabiting them or something. 3

A slight clarification - the Cognitive realm is expanded on a planet if there is life, but all things have a manifestation in the cognitive realm, its just that empty space or places without life are very small. To answer the question - the expanses, as covered in the coppermind, are actually the paths to different planets, with each planet covered in the article. There isn't a clear answer as to how to get to the gas giants, or the moons, but my own theory is it is either a path one can take while moving towards the expanses, like the expanse of the densities, or via the nexuses, as they resemble the expanses in being like mountains.
