I improvised a piece about all the (published) books in the cosmere, in chronological order. Listen to it here: https://youtu.be/9E-qNmhsZ5s No sheet music, unless you have perfect pitch and feel like writing it out for everyone. Hope you enjoy. -JP

I still don't see why the chasm would effect AonAon, yes it was a HUGE change in the geography, but if ever notable feature were part of AonAon it would be a lot more complicated. I feel like it was an actual language because the book the Raoden learns the most about the AonDor is written in AonDor. The magic is form based, the letter shape or in ChayShan body shape determine what form the Dor is channeled into

According to the wiki, Aons weren't created by the people of Sel, but discovered. They and their meanings already existed and all are geographically based.

Brandon had a guide on how to speak Aonic names http://brandonsanderson.com/books/elantris/elantris/elantris-pronunciation-guide/ so would the chasm line effect the ancient pronunciation? Especially since all that seems to matter is the shape . ChayShan, AonDor, Forgery, and Dakhor all seem to only require shapes, so while I like the idea of the moon scepter as a translating device, it doesn't quite make sense. Especially since Aons are the only language yet known to access a shards power.

Yeah I know, but what was so important about the chasm that it had to be added to AonAon and not just a few? From what I understand of you reasoning, AonAon should be every Aon overlapping each other, rather than the base of each one.

The aons were based on hangul, the korean writing system. If you don't know about it go check the wikipedia page here:www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hangul I think Aons are an alphabet like hangul, with each symbol representing a collection of letters. Each Aon is di-syllabic and has two short vowels(A,E,I,O but no U) so it shouldn't be to hard to figure out. I'm going to do this with out the chasm line, though that brings up a question for another day: Why is the chasm line part of AonAon and not just some "earth" or "physical" Aon Aon is two lines and a dot this represents A, O and N probably in the order drawn, which is A-top line first, O-Curved side line drawn second N-center dot drawn last Thus far I haven't made much progress in finding a pattern, but I believe lines of symmetry are also important. Hopfully you guys can figure this out better than I have so far.

hmm, quite true. but than how did he gain this Ferruchemical powers? This is the kind of post that makes me think. Thank you

Hoid is both an Allomancer and a Ferrochemist. But please note these few things about him. 1. He didn't necessarily use the bead of Lerasium to become a Allomancer unless there was an interview that I didn't read. Regardless of whether he is a Mistborn or just a Misting, and similarly with Ferruchemy. It's still possible that he is compounding much like the Lord Ruler did in order to stay young. Brandon said "He did steal a bead of Lerasium off of Scadrial. If he were to make use of that bead, certain powers would have been gained." 2. He would likely be from Scadrial given he could gain BioChromatic Breath. Despite this many people think he is from Yolen. I will admit that I haven't read ever book in the Cosmere yet, but I'm almost done, and my theory makes sense; at least to me. 3. None of his powers are gained from Hemalurgy So little is known about the ability LightWeaving on Yolen, so to assume that he's from there and that it is heredity it foolish, so let's assume that like BioChromatic Breath, LightWeaving can be gained, or like Forging, it can at least be taught. The ability to visit Shadesmar can be gain in many ways, and the ability to manipulate it comes from practice. He uses Feruchemy to gain limited foresight, so he can know where he should be. This leads to my believing that he has lived through ages, maybe even since the shattering, though we know he isn't a Shard. It's quite possible though. As far as we know, Ferruchemy is strictly genetic, but being the oldest form of magic on Scadrial, it makes sense that he is from there, likely before the Rise of the Lord Ruler. His ability to heal and "bend time" could also come of Terris heritage. I don't think that he is a MistBorn, but rather a twin born of multiple abilities. NOT a full MistBorn and Ferrochemist though. Comment below with objections or support of this theory, I'd enjoy hearing what you guys think about it. -Java
