I personally think he somehow placed himself into a Hemalurgic spike, and had someone spike a Kandra or Mistwraith with it, and have him consume his own bones. Given Brandon talked about Kelsier's bones, the fact he has the same appearance, and we know Hemalurgy tears off part of a spiritweb, so it might be possible to do a Cognitive Shadow. Seems to imply that it can happen.

The red Investiture of Trell implies some level of co-opted Investiture. But "Shardbabies" seem to be a far better combination, where the Investiture isn't corrupted but fused together into a single Tone. But Trell is red, which, as I said, meas corruption. It is, however, possible that it is an Avatar of Autonomy corrupted by Odium.

This is incorrect, Brandon explicitly said that Cosmere doesn't break the Fourth Wall and Hoid is not aware he is fictional Brandon has also explicitly said Hoid is not a self-insert or cameo of him. He also doesn't agree with Hoid's motives, or at least won't aid him in his cause. and This is false, he inserted a character he made into stories, not himself. It was a character he thought of going to planets unaware of each other in order to warn them of an interstellar war, and that he inserts him in the background of other stories as he reads, as random background characters and the such. Imagining a greater story behind everything. Also No, we did not learn that. That is a something that fans found that is possibly just coincidence, it has no backing in the books. This is due to him having Fortune Furthermore, concerning the God Beyond, I feel it would be dumb for Sanderson to make the God Beyond important in that way, given how the God Beyond is meant to be a sort of belief in a Gnosticism-esque supreme deity beyond everything. And Brandon explicitly says he doesn't want to talk much upon even the Beyond, and the God Beyond is also something he keeps refusing to say anything on. And to "The Old rules don't apply anymore" in the way you are interpreting it, more than just Adonalsium would know. Everyone from Pre-Shattering would know. So, Hoid, Frost, Uli Da, Edgli, Ati, Leras, Bavadin, Aona, Skai, Rayse, Tanavast, Koravellium Avast, and others would know. And for the rest of the theory, I don't really see what your point was with Perception influencing the Cognitive and Spiritual somehow meaning Adonalsium is Brandon Sanderson. And I don't see what point you are making at all with the other parts, sorry. Overall, this theory is explicitly contradicted through the implications of the text, and by WoB. Again, sorry. Edit: Also, why are you referring to Adonalsium as a "he"? Like, we don't even know if it is a being, much less the gender of it if it is as such. Just feels weird to make a guess like that in general, and even moreso in regards to a potential non-entity. Brandon has repeatedly talked around what Adonalsium is So, overall, assuming Adonalsium was a being is an assumption in of itself.

As an answer, left is just Kredik Shaw, you can see it on maps and the official coins. Right is a Steel Alphabet version of the Aon Ire, due to the Selish Ire showing up in the Part. It isn't anything particularly deep or complex.

Something to add, is how oddly Brandon reacted to the question this year. Very facetious and sarcastic and such, seems that it might actually be the case. He has RAFO'd it before, but this is the most of a response we got. Maybe he might have accidently given more credence to the theory via a joke.

In lower amounts, the whole Era 2 is based on late 19th to early 20th century. Era 3 is gonna be 1980's era tech, and if we get one, Era 2.5 will be the ~1940's level. But that is one he talked about the least, he talked far more about a 3.5 Cyberpunk era. Which I definitely want, I love the Cyberpunk aesthetic and such. But yeah, this seems like some early form of Invested nukes, like, first discovering the technology for such things. Wonder where it will go.

But yeah, this seems like something similar to some sort of nuke. Splitting apart the metal, and by the fact we know that there is an E=mc2 of Investiture, Matter, and Energy, and that they mentioned "how much energy can be in a metal", that this likely managed to "split" the metal in a way that converts it, at least partially, into energy. That is my theory of what happened. So, this might be a form of nuclear bomb. But definitely only partial if anywhere near a complete reaction, if we assume the same equation. 89875517873682 Joules per gram, which is basically the Little Boy. Also, Trellium being pushed away from other Investiture seems like it would be good in Invested Technology. So we have sensors with Trellium, Stormlight 4 Spoilers: Seems like we are going closer and closer to Invested technology with these different God Metals being introduced lately. Not sure how Harmonium or Tanavastium-Koravarium would work in this manner. Maybe bits if a way is found to make them appear and disappear with a current of Investiture.

Thought so, was just saying that is basically all I could find myself. Rather irritating it isn't anywhere online. Find it even more annoying considering the artist of the Garden image has normal images for the Heralds up, just not the Garden art, strangely enough. But tis life.

No, Gavilar says the names while he is dying Slightly abridged version of the interaction I am speaking of.

Not sure why we would expect such a plot to happen. It doesn't seem to be setting up anything like that so far.

These are expanded on a lot in RoW, but I will say they are mentioned before. Reread the prologue of WoK, they are mentioned there. Also, you should know this by now, but Mraize is a Worldhopper, you see a lot of trophies from other planets in his trophy room. Like some White Sand, an Aether, etc. Bands of Mourning Spoilers:

Or they needed to vanish in secret and didn't exactly trust her to remain silent, I don't really put it past those two. I don't see much to be confused about, they just let her die in the "accident". At least, it makes sense to me.

Would it necessarily have to be that? I feel like that could also try and use the parasites the birds get their powers from, or even manage to find a way to manually convert state of Investiture. Like, we know you can remove liquid from a Perpendicularity using an aluminium vessel. So you could do that, and somehow convert it into a solid form. But this is just speculation.

Makes sense, I guess we can try scans, but those are going to be lower quality and require someone to damage their leatherbound, either stretching the binding or removing the page. So not worth it... too big a cost, mixed with low quality. And I can find Nightblood Unsheathed and Vivenna in the Gardens online, but none that take up the screen. Just pictures of the book. https://imgur.com/r/Fantasy/QKWOIq7 (compendium of all the Leatherbound Art) http://www.magali-villeneuve.com/?page_id=1380 (Vivenna in the Gardens) So, not really the best images, sadly.

It was definitely just showing the source of Harmony beginning to fear the coming of Trell, and his attempts to find someone to help him fight, thus leading to him grooming Wax into being his Sword. This is further supported by Wax being referred to as Harmony's Sword multiple times. So yeah, it is very doubtful it is Kaladin, I feel nothing really supports it being Kal.

I noticed that Coppermind seems to be missing various pieces of Leatherbound Warbreaker Art, the ones that come to mind are Nightblood Unsheathed and the coloured version of the T'Telir Map, and Vivenna in the D'Denir Garden. I feel these should be in the Warbreaker Interior Art section, and on the relevant Gallery pages. As it feels weird that just those are missing, and rather annoying given I know that the art exists and should be there, I don't like things being incomplete (part of why I find the spoiler policy annoying, even though I perfectly understand it, lol).

We have a WoP that she is indeed dead. They plan to make it more clear in the Leatherbound and later editions. I personally felt it was implied through the mention of Edwarn and Telsin being alive, but nothing on Edwarn's wife.
