Hmm, does it even have to be a hemalurgic spike? Mistborn SoS, BoM, SH

Northern Scadrial has the Koloss, which do seem to face racism, so I would say Mr. Suit is a racist. Which given the assumption he is trying to breed a mistborn, makes sense (not a big leap to eugenics).

I think the problem with "Are there any of the 10 core worlds without a shard?" is that there is is no time frame specified, which probably factors into Brandon's answer, muddying the waters even more. Sel comes to mind. And it's possible that a core world could be one that the nomadic shard visited, but would you say it did/did not have a shard? It might be worth asking if the 10 core worlds either had or will have at least one shard.

Another question might be what does someone being constantly healed while being spiked go through? From that WoB it sounds like someone that survives being spiked might still be in really rough condition. Post WoR Reading Another possible problem with a spike attempt is: which suggests the Ghostbloods were not directly involved. On the other hand, hiring Tyn could have been to give them a cover if things went wrong and they could have had an inside man on her team. But it seemed like to me that they were more interested in Jasnah's information and the reason they tried to assassinate her was because she was doing the same to them, not because they saw her as a truly serious threat.

I thought it was "early industrial". Not sure if that means trains or not.

Do we know if the LoP sample chapters are pre or post shattering? Edit: I assumed it was pre-shattering.

Sorry, and that was my first post here as well! Maybe it ties into the motives for killing Adonalsium (no doubt a RAFO).

Regarding "5. Where Gods Died"... Given: Liar of Partinel While not canon, it seems much more likely that "where gods died" refers to where LoP takes place (presuambly Yolan?) than Sel.
