AonNae

Okay guys, a few years ago, I saw a list that Brandon had created of every book in the cosmere he plans to one day write. It might have had them in chronological order or in the order in which he plans on writing them, etc/I don't really remember. It had Hoid's book on there, an Elantris sequel, and every Mistborn book he plans to write. Does anyone know of said list and where I can find it? I'm pretty sure it also had some commentary by Brandon. Maybe it was in one of the State of the Sanderson's? I haven't scoured those yet...

If this is possible, I think it would explain the metals highly reactive property. The combination of atium and lerasium, two opposing forces, could maybe create a metal that is highly explosive,

So I think that you could categorize AonDor, Forgery, and ChayShan as Devotion-based since you have to devoted to these Investitures to use them. For example, in AonDor your intent and precision is important, more important than they are in other forms of Investiture. Your intention and precision are both aspects of devotion. You have to be devoted to Aons you draw to fulfill the intention requirement and you have to be devoted to be accurate in your drawings to fulfill the precision requirement. For ChayShan, you have to be focused on the martial art, or in other words devoted to the martial art and the actions you are performing. Forgery might be more of a mix of Devotion and Dominion. You have to be devoted to creating accurate stamps that reflect accurate and plausible histories whereas when you actually stamp the object you are trying to Forge, the new history is dominating the soul's true history by overriding it.

It is pretty common knowledge that to access the Dor through Aons, you have to be close to the city Elantris. But what about the other forms of Investiture on Sel? Are Forgery, ChayShan, and Dakhor location based as well? Like if you are JinDo, would you have to be close to the nation JinDo to actually practice ChayShan? Also, why is AonDor location based? Could it be that Elantris is where the center of the Dor is located in the Cognitive Realm?

My favorite cosmere book is definitely Words of Radiance, but I like the magic system in Elantris the best. When I am not reading, I enjoy playing music, whether I am singing or playing my saxophone.

I'm an avid reader and have read every published Cosmere book and want more, so I'm joining here! Super excited to read the theories and make the connections between the books.
