I came up with a similar idea during the Heralds Shardcast episode. I don't remember exactly what I said but I think it was Ishar's title as the "Binder of Gods" that led me to believe that his role in the founding of the Oathpact and whatever event made him the Binder of Gods were different events. So when somebody from the Cosmere Chat Discord server asked me for questions, I offered the Heralds on Ashyn question - it felt like it didn't need much background, and it was interesting enough. It does make the timeline interesting though. If the Heralds had a normal human lifespan pre-Oathpact, then the time between the exodus and the first Desolation couldn't have been more than a few decades at most. If they could live for a long time anyway, then we get into more reasonable timeframes, I think. It's exciting news either way.

Yep, same.

As a rule of thumb, WoBs are canon until proven not to be. We are - or at least should be - already fluid in our acceptance of them.

I am in the area (4 hours early), if anyone else arrives early come say hi!

Well, my list is still in my signature, but considering that I am going, I probably should ask you to ask even more of my questions...

@PallonianFire do you have the Blessing of Audio? The Cosmere Chat Discord server had a couple of people go, we have their report here for now.

Welp, I might end up being there super early. If you see a guy napping in the parking lot, that might be me!

I'd probably put the person who actually asked the question and use a footnote to indicate that it was asked on behalf of someone else. There isn't a hard and fast rule though, you can do it the other way too.

I think I remember you two! Vaguely. I'll probably be there early (as early as 3 PM, possibly, but no later than 5), so if you - or anyone else - has nothing to do, come say hi!

Easy Doomslug. Stick got blown out of proportion.

Good choice.

Welcome back

Welcome! We don't get many people from Egypt, so it falls on you to recruit your neighbors to the cult club!

If the event starts at 5 PM, as the website says, Brandon will probably be there for the next 3 hours at least, depending on attendance. How public speech, reading, and Q&A usually take about an hour on their own, and then there is the signing line, which usually moves at about 50 people per hour.

Kurk hype! @Blightsong, what's your status?

Feel free to either transcribe them or, once they are transcribed, edit your name for the speaker.

Let's see how the transcription goes. Most of @coltonx9's was pretty good, and we have @hoiditthroughthegrapevine's. This being said, the event is now ready, and you can help transcribe here: https://wob.coppermind.net/events/370-skyward-seattle-signing/ Let us know, either here or in the #arcanum Discord channel if any of the audio snippets have weird timestamps (starting/ending too early or late) and we'll fix those up.

There is one audio snippet we still need to mute, so the entire thing should be coming up soon. I'll update this thread when it's ready.

We all do this the first time Thank you for reporting this, we might not have audio of the signing line, so paraphrased reports like this are extra valuable.

Well, the more people help, the less time it takes I wouldn't say there is an usual rate, especially these days as people jump in the middle of whatever event they feel like and transcribe a few interesting questions. It's not a bad thing, but it makes it difficult to evaluate how long it'll take us to get done, as we might be looking at 70% completion of one event, 40% of another, 100% of a third, and 10% of a fourth - where previously we worked through them more or less sequentially.

I just finished snipping the audio for this yesterday and I remember the first one, so you should make sure your friend gets credit for his question once we transcribe it As for your own question, I think I remember Brandon RAFOing something written down but I don't think I created an audio snippet of it (because it wasn't useful without the question). We'll see how we'll input this one.

I don't think that would work. Awakening, in general, is about doing, not being. Changing the physical properties of an object would require you to either break the laws of physics (as they exist in the Cosmere), or somehow continuously fuel that change with Investiture, neither one of which seems like an option. Unless I misunderstand and you are thinking about essentially making the rocket use Feruchemy? I doubt that would work either, I feel like a Command that makes an object use an Invested Art would be far too advanced.

Skyward 2 (current title Starsight) should be just about done. I don't think he has started on Skyward 3, and Secret Project is also pretty much done. He might be doing some outlining or pre-writing for Skyward 3, but given that he is on tour at the moment, he probably isn't doing a whole lot.
