SkyFire

good job Fejicus! awesome questions right there. thanks

I asked him how to pronounce Rock from TwoK's real name and he said he couldnt remember it off the top of his head but if i could find the page and the book he'd give it a go for me. So if anyone else is heading to any future signings remember to take a copy of Twok and a video recorder

he also mentioned about the origins of some of the names from Mistborn such as elend and straff being of germanic origin and also kelsier and vin being of french origin. very interesting!

Welcome Skyfire! To all who dont know, skyfire is the guy who asked Brandon the 'Soup' question, so we have a minor celebrity in the house! we salute you, Lord of the Mundane!

the question is can i beat "If you were a soup which soup would you be?"

I'm racking the brain as we speak i think i might actually go for a more worth-while question this time

Apparently I'm in the mood for reaching far. Miles' last words involved "men of golf and red," he smoked "Citizen Magistrates" the packaging of which was in a gold and red box, and in HoA there was that whole mess with "The Citizen" who wore red and talked about superiority. Although the Citizen said that normal humans were above allomancers, we know he thought otherwise (his sister, "count the skulls"). Maybe in some weird way it's connected with that? But it is a bit of a stretch.

Also, just came across the part again where Miles talks about Trell. "Why had Trell make men like him, if not to see wrongs righted? The Words of Founding and its teachings, which proved men like Miles were special."

So I guess it wasn't Trelagism? Maybe a branch off of the original religion? For I'm assuming both were listed by name in The Words of Founding--at least that's how Miles makes it sound.

Yes, there was those people down by the sea that Vin killed some of when she spun the planet. In terms of the Nahlezan, they were said to be dead 1,000 years or so, but perhaps that did't include the people by the sea. My question is: did they die at the end of HoA, or did some live and we'll encounter them when the people of Elendel expand south enough?

very good points here. Possibly linked to the seafarer's that are mentioned in the broadsheet excerpt? It mentioned about people across the see having unknown metals

Is anyone going to the signing on the 19th at forbidden planet in London? the signing starts at 1pm. trying to organize a drink after

where we can all share what we learn, and talk cosmere! any takers? me and skyfire so far! (thats your que dude)

Count me in orome! can't wait! trying to think up something that will get me a RAFO card out of him

So the question still remains how "Rust and Ruin" connects to Trell. There must be something deeper than just the Set, something manipulating them. Are we sure this couldn't be a shard of some sort? Maybe not rust specifically, but something else?

With Ruin dead, perhaps Odium has paid a visit to Scadrial. Or maybe it's one of the cognitive shards that aren't as present in the physical world, but make impressions on all the different worlds (not sure if I have this 100% correct or not)

At the signing in London when he was promoting Way of Kings my cousin asked a question and got a RAFO card. His question was (I can't remember word for word) "Will/has Odium visited Scadrial"

hmmmm

Ah, that! Thank you!

But... Can this have any relation? Seem a little too far-fetched, but with Brandon Sanderson you never know...

Could be possible. Just haven't quite worked out in my mind how!

Just thought of one other thing. The character in Warbreaker named TRELedees. Obvious difference in the spelling but thought i'd throw that one in there

It's particularly familiar, because the maps are signed Nazh. That's what I thought it was from.

Also it seems to be an initialisation for 'Not all like that', referring to the 'moderate Christians' movement...

Nalthis? (World Warbreaker is set on)

Hey there SkyFire, I'm from the UK also, up north-west glad to have you round

Hey! nice to meet a fellow UK Sanderson reader. How did you get into his books?

Good afternoon! America here. Yes, that's right. An abstract concept of a country is greeting you.

Always lovely to see a new face! Hope you enjoy your time here. How'd you find out about Brandon's work?

Thanks dude! Well my cousin first introduced my to him, he recommended I start with Elantris and work my way through his books and conclude with Way of Kings. Great advice that was! my cousin first got into Brandon when he was announced as continuing Wheel of Time.

How about yourself?

Hi everyone! not sure how many others from the UK are here....so i'll say 'good afternoon' and 'good morning' for those that aren't

have read:

- Warbreaker

- Elantris

- Mistborn

- Way of Kings

....and EXTREMELY excited about Alloy of Law
