Xavier Iriarte he/him Posted March 3, 2019 Posted March 3, 2019 Let's make a list of all the things we don't know in the cosmere! Not specific things like "What would happen if..." but actual whole topics that we know nothing about, so that we know what to be looking for in future (or past) books. I'll start ● Who's "Senna" ? ● What weapon was used to kill Adonalsium? ● How is Hoid (and Frost) inmortal? ● How does Odium kill Shards? ● Does Adonalsium have a god metal? ● What's up with dragons in general? ● How exactly does fortune work? ● We know nothing about the planet Vax If any of these things have actually been fully answered do please point it out and i'll promptly edit it out. Write all you want to know so we can look back in some years and laugh at how ignorant we were! 2
Karger he/him Posted March 3, 2019 Posted March 3, 2019 What makes the Heralds so powerful in a world of KR? What has Felt been doing and why? How did Odium kill Honor and why do it at the exact moment he did? What are the Dawnshards? What is Hoid's actual goal?

RShara she/her Posted March 3, 2019 Posted March 3, 2019 (edited) Pretty sure the list of things we don't know right now is near-infinite 4 hours ago, Xavier Iriarte said: How is Hoid (and Frost) inmortal? In current continuity, Hoid's immortality is due to the remnants of the weapon that killed Adonalsium. Frost is a dragon. I think they're just naturally immortal. Edited March 3, 2019 by RShara 1
Weltall Posted March 3, 2019 Posted March 3, 2019 (edited) Where is Yolen and how/why was it 'shrouded' so that Khriss wasn't able to find it as of Secret History? Is there special significance to the Red Rip/Taln's Scar? 4 hours ago, Xavier Iriarte said: ● How is Hoid (and Frost) inmortal? ● We know nothing about the planet Vax As @RShara mentioned, Hoid's immortality is in some way related to the weapon used to kill Adonalsium, but at the same time he started aging oddly even before the events of Dragonsteel (though that's not strictly canon yet). Frost is a Dragon and thus naturally immortal. And Brandon has been very coy on the subject of Vax. All he's willing to admit is that it's heavily suggested to be a place. Technically we don't know it's a planet yet, even though it almost certainly is. 4 hours ago, Karger said: What makes the Heralds so powerful in a world of KR? The Heralds had direct access to Honor's Investiture. Edited March 3, 2019 by Weltall 1
Nathrangking he/him Posted March 3, 2019 Posted March 3, 2019 Who first came up with the idea for the 16 to shatter Adonalsium? What was Hoid's original name? Who were the heralds before they were cognitive shadows? Why does Slammer dislike Hoid? 1
Bigmikey357 he/him Posted March 4, 2019 Posted March 4, 2019 What are the Intents of the last 6 Shards? 2
teknopathetic he/him Posted March 5, 2019 Posted March 5, 2019 (edited) 1. What sparked the recent-ish Shin invasion? (Was it the Stormfather?) 2. Why is Odium “the broken one”. If he is maimed, what damage did another shard do and what is the nature of that damage? 3. What role did the Amians play in the desolations? Why did some of them support the scourering? 4. What is the significance of the purelake, and what other abilities could the fish grant? Could fish elsewhere also have spren bonds that grant powers? How does this work? 5. What causes the highstorm. What is the origin. Edited March 5, 2019 by teknopathetic
+Child of Hodor Posted March 5, 2019 Posted March 5, 2019 Who is Trell/Red Haze attacking Scadrial? Many think Autonomy, but that's not confirmed. Who is We in Odium's "We Killed You!"? How exactly did Odium get trapped in the Roshar system? What's up with the weird dreams featuring warm, intense light that Dalinar had in WoR & OB of Gavilar as a kid and Nohadon shopping? (Connection to spiritual realm through Honor's remnants?) Who keeps telling Dalinar "Unite Them" outside of visions? Stormfather says it isn't him. (Maybe Tanavast CS) Where is the Sibling? All things Sibling really. What were the Iriali's previous worlds before Roshar? (I'd guess Sel, Taldain and Nalthis, but Yolen would make sense) Where are the Heralds we haven't met yet? What exactly do the Ghostbloods want?
