Convoluted." "As an ADHD kid, my brain goes through topics fast. Plus, it kind of makes sense. Especially with the situation. I mean, we know through secret history that shards can see slightly into the future. Shadows of Self and Bands of Mourning haven't happened yet. We also know that Brandon shares lots of information with us, or rather lots of insights into the cosmere. We know that there is a Shard that wants to hide, and that is supposed to be really smart. Could it be that the shard has a lot of insight?" She grinned "See? All you've got to do is connect the dots. Of course, I could always be wrong, but it does seem likely." 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quote I need to see how Dannex's character reacts. She shrugged. "Mostly, I think I may be right because I remember this one part in the last book that started talking about how because eyes are the gateways of the soul, that was how the talents worked.

I doubt that that's what earth is- Alcatraz isn't a shardworld, at least according to Brandon. Maybe Earth is just... a world. No shards attached." “ASB? I personally have not read Alcatraz, but I doubt it’s apart of the Cosmere.” 4 hours ago, Random Bystander said: "Yes, but what if Brandon lied! Scadrial is supposed to be fake, too. I think that brandon might be a) that unnamed shard people call wisdom or prudence, but it is actually the shard Insight, or b) a sliver of a shard." I look up quickly. “Say what? Insight?” Quote So are we actually gonna have Alcatraz and Rithmatist in this Universe or not? My vote is not. They aren’t in the actual Cosmere, and this is “Journey to the Cosmere” not “Journey to the Alleyverse”. But that’s just my vote.
