First off, Endra, your Avvie is awesome. Cale for the win!

Hell yeah! I would really rather have one of Cale FWOOSHing either with the aid of Richard or with his reforged sword. But alas, they did not have that as an option.

In fact, it seems so permanent, that TLR found it easier to change the landscape to build Luthadel on top of the WoA, rather than just moving the WoA.

That's a very good point. One I'd overlooked. I reeeeeealy need to reread most of Brandon's books soon.

Good to see you back! And alive! Although, I don't know where you went. Or why you were presumed dead.

The heck is this? I was expecting that to be a BIBLE that just randomly dropped out of the sky, but it was a DAY PLANNER, saying pretty much the same thing. Weird.

Yea, it's from a series of tapes someone put together called the found films project or something. They searched for old home videos, commercials, etc. A local indie theater is featuring them.

Warlocks are very entertaining.

I clicked your link and I am reeeally enjoying it so far.

This one might be a little specialized and possibly offensive, but hey, that's that the crazy internet is all about right?

Someone will answer this better than me I'm sure, but I think it's because they contacted Brandon directly and asked him if we could be "official".

Thanks. Good summary of info. I asked how he would tie in the Cosmere effectively with the other books for the casual reader. I would say, along with all the other answers I got, he will do it with Dragonsteel.

I think the "distant place" is in an unpublished book.

I want that book.

I just started Leviathan. Haven't read enough to know if I like it yet, but I think I will.

I also started the Septimus Heap series like 3 years ago and got through 2 and a half of them but stopped. Thinking about picking it back up from book 1 at the library. Anyone read them?

Very true. Thanks guys. I was just reading through Warbreaker and forgot that Hoid was the guy who told Siri the story. When she asks where he learned it he says, "I learned it many, many years ago from a man who didn't know who he was, Your Majesty. It was a distant place where two lands meet and gods have died."

I just thought this was really interesting and goes along with the whole guide thing. I'm just really curious who "the man who didn't know who he was" is. Interesting description. Also, "a distant place where two lands meet and gods have died".... Shadesmar??? I don't know. Just thought the whole thing was interesting because I didn't even know the Cosmere existed when I read Warbreaker.

Someone mentioned Szeth's oathstone as possibly being a Shard. Maybe he is the Sliver in your theory that's holding the Shard?

for the same reason

makes you want to buy bananas

I haven't been more scared in a long time than I was while watching that video.

Then it will be months worth of awesome!

Yea, that's sort of what I expected. If I read it, I will go into it expecting little more than an entertaining story that I may have heard 100 times before. Then I will be happy either way.

SO MUCH WIN!!!

Now I'm an even 10! You returned the favor!!

I would like to note that "mostly immune to Pushing and Pulling" is probably very similar in the way that you "mostly" can't Push or Pull on metals in the body. I suspect that it has to do with some spiritual essence getting in the way with the Push.

/theorizing

I completely agree with this. It's the same thing I thought.

I'm ready for these kinds of matches to occur in the actual books. Also, this cage match was a good plan.

Not sure. I am pretty sure that they had to work together to create life, but I might be wrong. It's been years since I've read the series.

I have never read any of them. Trying to decide if I should or not. What do you think?

It'd be nice if they could like livestream/podcast it or something.

This is a wonderful idea.

Haha, it might not indeed. But I don't know, I don't really do anything at work so... it's possible.

I think I'll save that one for another rainy day at work.

So, I didn't know exactly where to post this and it didn't really seem worthy of its own thread but I was wondering, how do you think Brandon will handle the "big revelations" of the cosmere in terms of casual readers who may or may not ever read more than a few of his books.

I mean, say you were reading a Mistborn book in the third set of trilogies. You have only ever read Mistborn books by Sanderson and you have never looked at forums like these. You will have no idea about Seventeenth Shard or Odium or Endowment. So what happens if Rayse comes to Scadrial to try to kill Sazed and you are like, "What? Who the hell is Rayse?!".

Obviously he wouldn't do it just like that, but how would he do it? Like I said, didn't think it was worth its own thread, but it might be.
