I don't think there's any reason to remove this post, to be honest. Maybe we can lock it instead?

If you wish, you can use the Hide topic function, but I really don't think that's necessary.

I just feel as if it would clutter the fandom but locking it would be a good course of action.

Welcome to the shard! Glad you're more active now

 

I believe we were asked by the Mods not to offer people cookies in introductions

WHAT? This is an outrage!

(PS I just joined 2 days ago I didn’t know that, I will refrain from offering them)

I've posted a topic or two over the last few years but have decided to be more active and engaged with the coming of the Lost Metal in a couple months. I've been lurking for a long time and following along to all the podcasts (I love them all!). Happy to be here with like-minded people!

Cheers!

Yes yes, welcome to the Fellowship would you like this delicious cookie?

You might be able to delete a post if it has had no replies, or you can click on "report post" and in the description as a Mod to delete the post for you.

Did you have any specific questions?

 

Also, another technique (besides the Coppermind) is to go to the Arcanum to look at Words of Brandon (Compilations of essays, blogs, annotations, and answered questions/RAFOs) about a specific topic. For example, if you wanted to look up information on Dakhor you would search the Dakhor Tag. You can organize by oldest, newest or relevance (though that is more for keywords than Tags - more below) - and what I did when I was worried about spoilers was start at the bottom and scroll toward the top because the bottom of each post in Arcanum lists the tags that apply at the bottom. In this way, if a post had a tag I was avoiding spoilers for, I would not read it and continue to the next one up.

If it is a tag with a lot of posts, like AonDor (62 posts) you can then further refine by adding a keyword (such as Chasm Line) to get the posts that deal specifically with that intersection of topics (2 posts with AonDor tags reference the Chasm Line)

That’s for the help! This is great advice!

Broadly the Lore (at it's surface level) can be found at the Coppermind Wiki (link at the top of the page).  The Depths are the Arcanum collection of the Word of Brandon (the rest of the Lore from Q&A's and interviews and whatnot).  Both will contain significant spoilers to the other Cosmere works, so proceed with extreme caution until you read the rest of the works.  In particular Id recommend avoiding anything about Scadrial/Mistborn or Stormlight Archive, as it is pretty easy for them to spoil a few pretty awesome twists and surprise reveals and whatnot.  

For Elantris and Emeror's Soul, the planet in question is Sel:

Thanks for the info, I have read all of his works except warbreaker mostly. But I do appreciate the warning. Also how do you delete posts? Im new and am starting to see that this would be useful.

Hello all, I'm Deian and I'm from Bulgaria. My pronouns are he/his and I've loved the Cosmere since this year when I was started the Mistborn Saga with The Final Empire. Now I'm reading the fourth book: The Alloy of Law.

Welcome! I was introduced to the Cosmere by The Stormlight Archive and it’s interesting to find someone who was introduced by Mistborn. I’m looking forward to further discussion!

I read elantris and Emp soul a few times but never really got into the lore. I bet this is a problem the fandom could solve. 

I would ask of you an overview of the solar system and magic systems, and more details if I ask. Thanks.

How dare you! The grub sounds are not to be defiled in this awful manner! Anyway, welcome. Do you happen to play an instrument?

I do in fact, play a little piano although I’m not that good. I do enjoy listening to music though.

Welcome to the Fellowship of Sanderfans! What´s your favorite cosmere magic system?

I’m stuck between feruchemy and Surgebindings mostly.
