Shardcast: Mistborn Era 3 Title, Dragons, & More with Brandon Sanderson

This was a CRAZY episode! I'm gonna need to rewatch it just to get all of the implications and absorb all of that information.

It's dense

So glad you asked questions about Autonomy and Aethers. My theory that Autonomy was Aetherbound before she took up a shard survives!

I am very confused by the dragonic reproduction cycle now. Apparently they give birth as humans and live as humans until puberty, it seems? That definitely needs to be put on Arcanum as that seems very important to include on Coppermind.

I had wondered about this. Hoid said in his letter to Frost that Frost's well being was a given since he's NOW immortal. Like he was a human or other mortal who became a dragon and that's how it works no one is born as one. That's not quite how it seems to work, but it's very close. Like Frost got through his metamorphosis phase so now he's in the clear as a functionally immortal dragon. 

My belief now is that Frost is a Dawnshard now (based on some WoBs), and thats what that meant. But we shouldn't get too much into theorizing and spoilers here. Wrong place for that. 

Brandon casually talking about dragons while you guys (and me) all had your mind blown was crazy. Lesser and greater dragons, dragon palaces and skyscrapers in Silverlight, with corporations run by dragons - all of that like it was nothing. That's just wild. Not to mention Mistborn: Ghostblood!

Yeah, that was a bunch of huge reveals about dragons. Can't wait until all the weirder stuff is fully canonized in-book. Also, we learned what Tamu Keks are! And yeah, I like that we have a reveal of the name of Era 3, giving us more info on what it is going to be about. 

So, it is going to focus a lot more on Kelsier, Ghostbloods, and Autonomy, to the extent that the trilogy is centred around the Ghostbloods. 

The Silverlight stuff had me going like "AHHHHH" The dragons made me go like "OOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!" Then with era 3 stuff, I was grinning.

I'm gonna have to find a text version, or type it all up myself so I can reread it all if I want to, unless it's on Arcanum already.

Share that text version with me please.

Just give it a few days and people should have the important things transcribed. It has only been a day, give it time.
