Honorless he/him Posted October 7, 2020 Posted October 7, 2020 (edited) So an artist on Reddit was doing Cosmere A-Z and asked Brandon if there was any character whose name started with 'x'. Quote Hmm. Xisis. He'll show up eventually. Quote Not human, from Yolen, currently hanging out on a planet quite near to where you can find a lot of the Aethers.

Chaos Can we post that? Brandon Sanderson Yeah you can go ahead and post that. That's fine. Chaos I figured that from the... Brandon Sanderson Right, the naming convention makes it really obvious. Chaos But that's not posted on the Dragonsteel sample so... Brandon Sanderson Right. But that's canon. It's pretty obvious to me... And so it's fine with me canonizing it. I mean, I've been coy with it for years. But when I say there are Shards that aren't human. There are three races on Yolen... Adding the math together is going to get you a pretty obvious answer.

Eternal Khol he/him Posted October 7, 2020 Posted October 7, 2020 (edited) the phrase “currently hanging out on a planet quite near to where you can find a lot of the Aethers.” Is very confusing. Is Brandon saying “he’s on the Aether planet, but i didnt want to name it yet, so ill say “on a planet” and near the Aether’s” or is he saying “Xisis is on planet “a”. And planet “a” is in close proximity to planet “b”(Aethers planet)” Edited October 7, 2020 by Eternal Khol

And planet “a” is in close proximity to planet “b”(Aethers planet)” Since there's no comma after "planet", grammatically speaking, the second option is more likely to be correct, but Brandon is probably trying to obfuscate things here so either of them could be the correct answer. 1

And planet “a” is in close proximity to planet “b”(Aethers planet)” Im guessing it's in the same physical Solar System of the Aether planet, just isnt the primary Shardworld. Since Aethers are the last "major" magic system, Im assuming it's from a major Shardworld, meaning a resident Shard. Best guess is that it's something nearby and relevant, like Ashyn & Braize in the Rosharan System, or the various named worlds in the Drominid, Threnodite, or (less likely) the Taldain system.
+Invocation Posted October 7, 2020 Posted October 7, 2020 Xisis is chilling on Vax. I mean they've both got cool names, so it makes some strange form of sense. 2

Halyo_Alex he/him Posted October 9, 2020 Posted October 9, 2020 "Quite near to where you can find a lot of the Aethers" Only a lot? Not all of them? What? ...Oh yeah, Mraize has an Aether in his collection. I guess that's why. But still, why "a lot of the Aethers"? That could just be classic obscure WoB phrasing, but cmon...
