Yeah. I don't have the WoB on-hand at the moment but I think it was somewhat recent, within the past month maybe. He also said elsewhere something about the Era 2 (Wax/Wayne) books causing him to accelerate some Cosmere/Scadrial happenings, and that it was a good thing.

It's something like Wax and Wayne books take place during the mid-series SA gap now, instead of the modern series. Chronology is all screwy and seems to change yearly or so now.

Black Desert Online CBT2. Got Scadrian as my Family name so I'll roll with that one. Otherwise, not much. I want to get the second part of the Pillars of Eternity expansion but I can't justify the cost. Probably be playing Grim Dawn with a friend sometime today too.

Wayne is easily my favorite Cosmeric character that Brandon has ever written thus far and I honestly don't see him ever being topped. People are not perfect and people have flaws.

"If Adonalsium and the God Beyond were in the same room together, would they be on good terms towards one another?"

Is that the first confirmation we've gotten in regards to the status of Devotion and Dominion (Shattered vs. Splintered)? Neat.

Were all sixteen of the original Shardholders born on Yolen?

Kind of neat that we got a chronology question answered. I know AoL kind of broke the intended chronology involved SA and the time-gap with the modern series taking place within it. I hope we get a full chronology for released books sometime soon.

I don't have it right now but there is a WoB that is something along the lines of Peter had to remind Brandon that redshifts would fry anybody around so the lack of redshift could be personal decision. I honestly don't remember the specifics.

I think Leras did specifically mention that "he is Splintering me" or something along those lines at one point. I could be wrong, though.

I think I remember that thread. It was fun before it got shut down.

I wonder if The Set have succeeded in exterminating any other planets, if Scadrial isn't their first attempt. If it has happened, maybe we'll see it in those sequels... sometime ever.

The older man who was affiliated with the Set at the crashed airship. The one who walked with a cane.

Is the Adonalsium galaxy secluded from the rest of the outer universe? (Completely made that name up in lieu of a known one; maybe we'll get it when we get the star chart.) (Maybe we'll get all Shardworlds named too!)

Sounds legit. Loss of Investiture = entrance to 'Beyond'.

You'd think that but I'm slowly finding out otherwise. I have a thirty-two year old acquaintance who has acted 'offended' at certain vernacular of mine. It's honestly a bit mind-boggling but I suppose we need to take account of the fact that a lot of people grow up incredibly sheltered. On the other hand, my friend/acquaintance circle is predominantly female. I have absolutely no filter on what I say and not a single one of them has ever had a problem with it. I suppose it all depends on who you congregate around. Then again, I'm an adult and the people I associate with are also adults so that stuff doesn't bother us but I can see different people having different views.

This is entirely too hilarious for related and unrelated reasons.

It's not even vulgar at all, compared to anything remotely vulgar, and he's still Brandon's most untypical character.

I'd like to see Wayne as a recurring character myself but I never saw him as wanting to stick around if Wax wasn't around, and that was confirmed in BoM. But maybe something will change. I really like Wayne. Easily my favorite character of the entire Cosmere.

Okay, so for an actual 'real' question then, could somebody ask: "What were the largest amount of Shards held at one time?" (Barring Adonalsium itself, if that would technically count.) or "Did any of the original Shardholders hold more than one Shard at one time?"

But wasn't there a line from Leras later on in the novella where he said something like, "Oh I'm being Splintered" or "he's Splintering me"?

Same. Been years since I've read the original trilogy.

It was a yellow fizzy drink. All I remember.

Never actually linked a source before but here are two URL hyperlinks for ya: http://www.theoryland.com/intvmain.php?i=1109#51 http://www.theoryland.com/intvmain.php?i=1115#49

True but maybe by asking for more information about it, we can pull some reveal or knowledge out through trickery. The simple fact that they even did that makes me really hyped for some reason and it's one of the few specific things I yearn to learn more about. Don't stomp on my inner-child's fascination.
