Alyx, how do you come up with your pronunciations of names like "kandra" and "MeLaan"? Is this from inside knowledge from Brandon or your own interpretation of them? 

I only ask because my head-canon is different. I want to know if I am wrong! I have a feeling, though, it may be due to my own accent vs. yours. 

Well this is what happens when an Australian talks about US geography.

How can the largest city not be the capital? 

Kaymyth has the right of it. Another example: Sacramento is the capital of CA. Not LA. Not San Francisco.

Part of the reason Washington, DC was made the final capital of the US (Philadelphia and New York were both former capitals) was it's central location to the states at the time. The other reason being they wanted to develop a city that was just the capital. It was more or less built from scratch and planned accordingly (by a French-born American, L'enfant, no less!), with the diagonal state-named roads heading towards the Capitol converging to form circles and squares that were easy to defend in all directions with canon.

Now if only DC could get statehood so that my vote matters. Our license plates in DC have a tagline that says "Taxation Without Representation"...eerily similar to the call of the Revolutionaries!

I always wondered why Canberra was the capital. Making it neutral ground between two of the biggest cities makes sense. If I were to visit Australia, where should one go assuming they will already go to Sydney and Uluru? I have always wanted to go up to Darwin and the Far North of Queensland to look for Rainbowfish...sort of a hobby of mine. 

Time to be that guy: Portland isn't the capital of Oregon It's Salem! But Portland is by far the cooler city. 

Super jealous that you nobles get to read Brandon's books before us skaa! But I'm sure it's tearing you guys up inside that you can't theorize with the rest of us. At least I want to believe that, because those of you in the early know are probably theorizing together anyway!

Thanks for the write-up Chaos! i can't wait to read this book. 

I love that Wellers is selling "personally inscribed" books (which I interpret as fair game to ask Brandon a question)! As an east coast Sharder, I won't get the chance to get a personally inscribed book from Brandon so near to the release date like Wellers is able to provide here! Awesomeness. 

Well, I know where my pocket money is going this fall.

In addition to Shadows of Self, then shortly after followed up with purchases of Bands of Mourning and Calamity, right?

I too will need this game! I can't wait to see what sort of Kickstarter exclusives are included when we can finally back this project! Maybe something along the lines of a collector's edition?

What's the symbol on the blade, inside of the D?
