Rubix

Chapter 9: NO!

It's a German joke... The word for No in German is Nien (Pronounced Nine)

It was indeed discussed there. Merging.

Mi'chelle and I will both be attending, and I was thinking about throwing a little 17th Shard get together with those who are coming.

Ask and someone will answer, huh?  Hmm...

Can I have your number?

<VOICE=BOOMING> I HAVE SPOKEN AND MY POSTING MEANS THAT WE WILL SOON BE DOWN ONE GRAPHICS MONKEY. </VOICE> Anyone interested?  ;D (Just kidding. I love you Will)

Anyway, I'm Josh, also known as Rubix, and as Will failed to correctly mention, my title is Hegemon, not czar, or tsar, or however he spelled it. I'm the tyrannical overlord (read: erstwhile business manager) who actually does own your soul (feel free to look, it's in the user agreement that you accepted), and while you may not see me often, it's probably because I'm busy reading and editing books that don't even exist yet.

No highlighters here, yet, despite the multiple copies in my possession. I'll be waiting for the paperback before that's even considered, but that's just me.

I agree that the Tears of Edgli are related to Endowment. However, I don't think you can claim that Austre is the name of the person holding Endowment. After all, Preservation was known as Terr to the Terris people. Austre might be his name, but it could be the name the culture granted Endowment instead.

Then perhaps we should stop bringing up The Allmighty. For all we know, The Allmighty is actually Cultivation.

Your number is off... I recall it being closer to 8 total, but I'll have to look into it. More details in our Way of Kings interview with Brandon, as well.
