This was 2018...what exactly is "pretty soon" for Brandon?

To ask a question about your comment behind the spoiler tag, because I really want to know... Edit: Oops, I somehow skipped right over the description that it's from WaT preview chapters. I guess I'll wait until I read about it. My bad.

Drought

EMP

I hadn't made that connection at all. The Everstorm was almost certainly necessary for the Fused to return So even if my premise of Chana surrendering immediately (Do we know the mechanism for "breaking"? If it's just the intent of "I give up!", that was what I was trying to say originally, what if she didn't want any torture and gave up immediately) the singers weren't in a mental state to receive the fused, which basically blocks a desolation. Dang, B-A-M's imprisonment really did mess everything up.

I don't know if anyone else has questioned this before, I haven't seen it discussed at least. If Chana was the Herald who was sent to Braize, and "broke," it's a natural thought to think she ran and hid..got caught..and broke pretty quickly, but that this whole process took about a year-ish amount of time to happen. But, what would be the ramifications of her giving up the second she got to Braize? If Odium could have started a "traditional" desolation a year or more beforehand, and chose not to because of the Everstorm, what would that mean? There are other events/motives that could be called into question by this as well, but the thought that things could have gotten started sooner, but didn't, seems like a very Brandon thing..."Come on everybody, why might this be???" Full disclosure, I don't know but it seems like it would be a big deal. Anyway, that's my thought of the day.

Watching Breaking Bad

Being Walter White

Hydrolysis

I suppose you could be right but in a wrong way on this. Investiture can have a gravitational effect, and if Adonalsium was centered near/on Yolen and then Shattered, could Yolen's star system have started wandering off in the Cosmere (or been pushed off into space)? Or could the Shattering have cause some sort of distortion to spacetime? So not the sun, but the laws of Cosmere physics around Yolen's system went wonky somehow?

Hawking radiation

I don't know why, but this made me laugh a lot...anyway... A Dyson sphere

True (and unhackable) AI-supervised election

Fire and Mysterious rules/Obligations.

That's and excellent and valid point. When they left, there was no valid reason to risk taking it. With Foresight, and omitting hindsight because that's not helpful, you make a strong case for why they left it behind.
