Unfortunately it does not, the latest date in the list is Ishakev (10-08-04) the everstorm/highstorm combo happens on Ishishach (10-10-03).
-
I do not believe we have explicit WoB that they are a list of highstorm dates. But since a chronology of events has been worked out (which I know you've seen since you linked to it in another thread) and the listed dates correspond perfectly with the highstorms, I wouldn't call it an assumption. Edit: There may be something else important about these dates (though I personally doubt it), and that reason may be why they were included in the Diagram, but regardless they are a list of highstorms.

We do have a WoB that explicitly says he is not. Unfortunately...

The Ultimate List of Questions for Brandon

Nightblood can be used as a spike, though it would be difficult: (source) -
As a point of fact I do think there is more to the fundamental glyphs than there numerical value. That's just one thing they represent, they are also mentioned to be related to the Orders, and probably things like the Heralds and Essences. For actual counting they have another system.

Brandon's store has glyph pendants for the Windrunners, Lightweavers, and Bondsmiths which name them as "Jeseh", "Shash", and "Ishi". Which are also numbers 1, 6, and 10 according to the Ars Arcanum.

Questions you'd like to see answered on Shardcast
WeiryWriter replied to firstRainbowRose's topic in 17th Shard Discussion
So the Alloy supplement for the MAG lists about a third of the Twinborn combo names, however one name "Shroud" gets repeated. Which combination does it actually belong to, Coinshot/Trueself or Smoker/Sentry? (link to work-in-progress wiki chart) -
I'm very curious about this vow the koloss swore to the Terris people... I'd really like episode 25 please.
-
Actually the WoB is that there is a fixed number of Unmade, and that that number is not ten.

The Ultimate List of Questions for Brandon

What do you mean the skins were re-used? I've always been under the impression that it is their own skin, just altered like everything else. -
I doubt it, "Inquisitor" as a pseudo-religious rank is hardly unique to the Children of the Light. It's probable they are both references to the Inquisitions of our world, like the Spanish, which were very unpleasant for a lot of people (the Steel Ministry does have parallels with the Catholic church after all).

The Ultimate List of Questions for Brandon

We do know the answer to this, no it does/did not. Scadrial is home to Ruin and Preservation only. -
I don't think it's a trick question at all. Although I am on board with the Palaneum depicting the same design, i.e. the surgebinding/knights radiant chart, (the description pretty much seals it for me) I would disagree with the idea that the endsheet diagram *is* the Palaneum doors. Namely because it doesn't look like a set of doors. During the Nohadon vision Dalinar starts to describe the ceiling thusly: "The ceiling was far above, carved from rock in geometric patterns that looked faintly familiar. Circles connected by lines, spreading out from one another..." and then he gets cut off by Nohadon talking. It's possible he would have mentioned glyphs if he had continued the description. I don't think that that is the endpaper either though, just another depiction of the same thing.
-
Skybreaker is/was only a working title if I remember correctly, i.e. it was a placeholder. I think it unlikely to be the actual title for the same reason WoR ended up not being Lightweaver or Knights Radiant (which were both proposed by not-Brandons).
-
I don't *think* it breaks any rules since it is just worldbuilding/supplemental material. If it actually detailed game mechanics it would be another matter. But I will check with the admins who'll have final say. Thank you for posting it though I found it very interesting. Although Steel/Aluminum and Copper/Bronze are both listed as "Shroud"...

Archivist bar none. Such a useful power for a college student and future historian...

Nope, Crasher is the only one that is mentioned in Alloy. I believe a third of them are given names in the Alloy of Law supplement for the MAG but I don't own that.

Shadows of Self isn't coming out until November 2015. The Aztlanian (Rith 2) is probably coming out 2016 (Brandon has said he wants to do one teen book a year, 2015 is Firefight, Aztlanian the year after) but weilll know better once it gets written (whenever that will be). We have no clue on Calamity Alcatraz 5 is coming out after the first four are re-released by Tor. The last we heard the plan was to release them in 3 month intervals starting Summer 2015, which means Book 5 would come out Summer 2016. The first volume of the White Sand graphic novel is supposed to come out next year as well but we don't know when.

Originally? I'd say 360/PS3/PC. One of the reasons it got pushed back was to move it to next-gen consoles.

Thanks for this! I know Peter mentioned a while back on twitter that they were hopeful about a couple of things so it's nice to see that things might actually start to work out. To be honest as happy I will be when (or if) the game comes out I'm not too terribly upset about it being delayed. One would think that they could take advantage of advancements in gaming technology, right? (And really I'm going to have no life when it comes out)
-
I don't know when or where it is going to be posted that is out of my hands (and it's not 100% done yet). Also that isn't currently part of the transcription it was an off-hand comment and it isn't as major as you are making it out to be. He didn't say "I'm thinking of making Book 3 not Szeth's" he said something more along the lines of "Book 3 is going to be Szeth's, unless I decide otherwise when I start writing it" which has theoretically always been an option. He didn't know whether WoR was going to be Shallan's or Dalinar's until he started it.
-
Things are always subject to change. Right now the plan is for book 3 to be Szeth's but at SLC Comic-Con mentioned a couple times that that could change when he actually starts writing. Regardless wait for the transcription, there is something very relevant coming.

(source) Color being lost in Awakening is the same as metal being lost in Allomancy, it doesn't impact where the investiture comes from, which is the defining feature of end-states.
