It's definitely possible that Rian was actually referring to Bavadin in this conversation, but my gut says he was talking about Paalm. Paalm talks about giving people freedom throughout the book (meaning freedom from Harmony's control), and was also trying to plant the idea that she was going to kill the governor (the "him" in the quote) to mislead Wax about who she was impersonating. It fits too well into Paalm's plan for me to believe Rian is talking about anyone else.

Just a small correction: Odium fought Ambitiom in the Threnody system, not the Taldaim system. I'm not sure I buy the argument about not destroying planets. I think Odium's goal is killing the other Shards, but I doubt he would have any problem with planet-destroying if that's what it took to accomplish his goal. Maybe after being trapped on Roshar for so long, he doesn't want to take the chance of fighting another Shard on their home turf again (especially Harmony who is double the power of a normal Shard). He could want to destroy Scadrial in order to force Harmony to face him in space.

The Southern medallions are created without identity somehow. We don't know exactly how they are made, but they are metalminds that anyone can use. The Set doesn't use metalminds, they have hemalurgic spikes granting them abilities.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking of. I had the wrong location in mind.

Yeah, I think it's in one of the tour threads, but it hasn't been transcribed yet. Check the Hoboken one; that would be my guess.

In Words of Radiance, Kaladin thinks to himself about Damnation and reveals that another name for it is Braize (see chapter 32). Braize is one of the other planets in the Greater Roshar planetary system (as shown here), which you can read a little more about in the Roshar essay in Arcanum Unbounded. There are a couple theories that I'm aware of on what the Tranquiline Halls are, but it hasn't been clarified in the books yet. One theory is that, just like Damnation, the Tranquiline Halls could be another planet, possibly the planet Ashyn in the same planetary system. Another theory is that humans being kicked out of the Tranquiline Halls represents something wrong with the afterlife on Roshar, possibly manifesting in the Cognitive Realm (see here for more details). But really, we don't know the answer to this one yet.

The Mistborn Adventure Game is non-canon and shouldn't be used as evidence for any theories.

Not to mention traveling all around the world, seeing different cultures and meeting lots of different people. That tends to make you grow up fast.

@jofwu that's totally fair. I assume there's more of it in the internal narration in the prose (which I haven't read). I wasn't really a huge fan of the character art in the graphic novel, especially the facial expressions. I though the environments looked good, but didn't get much feeling from the characters.

I dunno, this kind of things is pretty common in regular comics too. I just accepted it and thought, I bet this will get resolved sometime later.

Ummmmmmmm... I'm almost done with the Signing Line recording, about 20 minutes left to transcribe.

@Khyrindor It doesn't look I have editing access. I sent a request for access, but probably easier to just make the document editable. Not sure if anyone else is having this problem.

All we see in this chart are the stars, which would naturally be different colors based on age and size. So I don't think that tells us much.

All the pages should be updated now. I didn't add the info to Jasnah's page because it doesn't strictly relate to her character, but I did also update the general Spren page to include inkspren. Let me know if I missed anything!

Okay, thanks for the clarification!

@Argent I believe the question is referring to this image: http://brandonsanderson.com/books/white-sand/white-sand/white-sand-art-gallery/ I don't remember Isaac saying anything about this image, just the ones from Stormlight Archive as Yata references.

Correct me if I'm wrong here, but my recollection is that a "shardhammer" is not actually a shardweapon (e.g. not made of a spren, whether living or dead), but rather is just a really freaking huge hammer that only someone in Shardplate could use. I also believe that the blade part being dangerous and the edges not being dangerous is more a matter of perception/intent on the part of the wielder.

One solution could be to have a statement at the top of the Shadesmar page, e.g. "This page is about the Cognitive Realm on Roshar and the local cultural interactions. Shadesmar is also used to refer to the Cognitive Realm in general; for more information, see [[Cognitive Realm]]" or whatever.

Yeah, I don't remember that either, but it must be pre-Manywar Hallandren since he has the Royal Locks, so he must have been a member of the royal family that fled and formed Idris.

I don't think we have any source that specifies the exact timeline for these events. All we know is that Warbreaker is after mistborn era 1 and before stormlight 1-5. It could be pretty shortly before stormlight, rather than 300 years before as you suggest.

Ym confirmed for Michael Jordan, Cosmere is just a Space Jam fanfic

@Yata @Knight Radiant Bee the Idrian royal family actually fled toward the end of the war. From Warbreaker Chapter 55: @Eki those are really good points, and things I might ask about at a signing. Shashara totally should have the Royal Locks. And it's definitely possible Vo was not the first Returned. It seems strange to me that it happened so recently. What was Endowment doing for thousands of years if not making Returned?

I don't think we've seen another line of people descended from a Returned, so we can't say this for sure. That's what Eki and Yata are discussing, I believe. To put it another way: if another Returned, completely unrelated to Idrian royalty before death, were to have children, would those children have the Royal Locks?

@1stBondsmith The quote is specifically saying that Denth has the Royal Locks independent of being a Returned. The reason why the Royal Locks exist in the first place is because Idrian royalty are descended from a Returned, specifically Vo.

I don't know that the Unmade choose the Death Rattle or that it has to be something they know about. I thought the idea was just that Moelach's power allowed dying people to briefly see into the Spiritual Realm, which doesn't limit them to what the Unmade know. Also doesn't limit them to only telling the future or the present; it could be the past as well.
