I read this on twitter updates on homepage and found it pretty interesting. (Quote)BrandSanderson Thu Jan 19 For those curious, I did finish the video game work I needed to do last night, and am back at work on the #WoT revision today. nathan_k Thu Jan 19 @BrandSanderson Is someone developing a Mistborn game? BrandSanderson Fri Jan 20 @nathan_k Yes. Announcement should come next month.(Quote) http://brandonsanderson.com/article/101/Tweets-January-16-24-2012 I can't wait to see what the game will look and see the city of Luthadel as it will place sveral cenuries before the books.

This theory is interesting but everything you say about Scadrial having some form of life before the shattering would have to aply to Roshar ,Sel , Nalthis and all shardworlds because when i asked Brandon that question he said that all of the shardworlds had theirs before the shards got there

Very interesting, i woudn't mind this. Just a question Chaos, about what you said about Nightblood, does that mean it won't happen at all? I also seen to remember that he has plans for a sequel to Elantris with Kiins children protagonists.

I too do belive that the Faceless immortals refer to the kandra, however i remember reading something about the kandra now being forbidden to take human form. Or am i mistaken there? And i must say that November can't come quick enough.

I have no problem with this being on the fronpage

So i have now been to the signing and it was awsome he read to us the prologe of Alloy of Law and it sounds just as amazing as we should expect. He also struck as a very nice and friendly guy, and it seemed to me that almost evryone there got a posetive impression of him as a person. A lot more people shpowed up there though than anyone really expected so that was a good thing (about 130 people got their books signed and the sold out most their stock of TWoK) Anyway on to the questions i didn't get to ask all of them but i did get some quiet intersting answers. • Are Seons splinter of Aona? • He said that that line of theorising is very close and that we are figuring it out. • Is the Dor the same as the power of creation that powers Allomancy? • He said that dor is similar to that which powers allomancy but not the 100% the same. • Who names the planets? You've said once that "Scadrial" was the name of the planet as Ruin and Preservation knew it, but where'd they get that name? Do the Shardholders all get together and vote on it or something? • He said thay already had their names and that the all the planets existed before the shardholders got there. • How many Shardworlds are there? Only seven? (Sel, Nalthis, Scadrial, Roshar, Yolen, Taldain, and whatever planet The Silence Divine is on?) • He said he has a set number in his head but that he didn’t want to say it because he might change his mind. Essentially he doesn’t want to make the number of world’s canon yet. • Why do Shards refer to themselves by their Shard name, rather than their original name? Do they still remember their original name? • Yes they do, they do remember their original selves( didn’t get any more then that though). • How could a person from Scadrial access Shadesmar? An alloy of a god metal? • He RAFOd me on this one and said it was a plot point for future novels. • Does Bavadin hold a Shard? • Yes (and that’s about all he would say. He did however confirm that Rayse is Odium)

I don't really know how many questions i'll be allowed to ask him but i have gone the ultimate questions list and selected 10 questions i belive to be of importance. I focused on general Cosmere questions and not those specific to each book: 1. Are Seons splinter of Aona? 2. Is the Dor the same as the power of creation that powers Allomancy? 3. Who names the planets? You've said once that "Scadrial" was the name of the planet as Ruin and Preservation knew it, but where'd they get that name? Do the Shardholders all get together and vote on it or something? 4. How many Shardworlds are there? Only seven? (Sel, Nalthis, Scadrial, Roshar, Yolen, Taldain, and whatever planet The Silence Divine is on?) 5. The Allomantic metals are separated into four quadrants. Do the Shards have classifications as well, in groups of four? 6. Why do Shards refer to themselves by their Shard name, rather than their original name? Do they still remember their original name? 7. You mentioned that the souls that chose to stay in the Cognitive Realm are those with some strong ties to the Physical Realm. "Generally, you have to be tied to the Physical Realm in specific ways to not pass on." What tied Kelsier? What are some of the "specific ways" in which an individual can be tied? 8. Are the Returned bound to the Physical Realm in such a way? If not, does Endowment know a hack (for lack of a better word); a way of bringing them back from the Beyond that is even apart from all three Realms? Or does each Shard have a different avenue of bringing someone back? 9. How could a person from Scadrial access Shadesmar? An alloy of a god metal? 10. Does Bavadin hold a Shard? If you think i should add more to the list or if i should change some of them i would lie to know. Also i can not guarrantie that i'll be able to record as zas requsted but i'll try. Also i would loke to know which of these questions should be proretised(incase i'm not able to ask all of them).

Brandon is going sign at Outland megastore in Oslo/Norway in June 1 and i intend to be there. I figuered this would a good oppurtunety to ask cosmere questions, i was wondering if you people have some questions that you really want to have asked?

I too think the old magic kinda fits with cultivation. I mean whats the one thing that is most effective at making humans grow? Adversety and chanllenges, when make someones life difficult they become that much stronger, those that fall where not strong enough in the first place. Although it is a very cynical way to see it does have paralels to cultivating flowers. A gardener usualy cut away the flowers apear to weak and frail compared to the others. I don't think it is a farfetched idea to think the sharholder of cultivation will gotten a perspective like that.

Yes i was right, I strongly belived that Tanavast was the name of Honors sharholder after we learned tha The Almighty was Honor. Especially due to the sentence by the voice in the storm Child of Tanavast. Child of Honor. Child of the one long since departed

I have a question about The Almighty conserning the name of his shardholder (that was the term for the identety of the person controlling the shards right? like Ati - Ruin and so on). During the scene were Kaladin dreams about being the Highstorm, on page 648 there is a voice that speaks to him that refers to him as: "Cild of Tanavast. Child of Honor. Child of the one long since departed Now we now that the identety of The Almightys shard i Honor, we also know that he died long ago which in a manner of speaking makes him departed. My question then is, could Tanavast be the name of Honors shardholder or am i completly wrong and it is the name of one of the Heralds?

I have been lurking for some time and i have decided to finaly join. I am a big fan of Brandon Sanderson and have read all his released books(not finished with Towers of Midnight yet) and belive myself to be well versed in what is known so far about the Cosmere. And ask that you forgive some writing errors i most likley will have, as i am norwegian and english is my 2nd language
