Bands of Mourning Full Book Reactions [Bands Spoilers]
Windrunner replied to Chaos's topic in Mistborn
If you haven't read Mistborn: Secret History, I'd recommend it. It explains a bit more about Kel's return. -
Sadeas actually had at least three POV's to my recollection. Either way, I'd like to see more of Rock from his own POV.
-
Adolin used his Blade to remove the chalk marking from the wall, if I recall correctly.
-
A few common concerns that I've seen is that Adolin's missing cuffs are noticed, or the bloodied fragments he cut off the cuffs are found. Another possibility I've seen is that in his haste he left his side knife behind.

Mine got here today, and it is beautiful. So generous of Brandon to send me a gift on his birthday. xD

Pondering State of Sanderson 2016
Windrunner replied to The Quiet One's topic in General Brandon Discussion
I assume he's not referencing anyone in particular, but just authors that write slowly in general, as he knows/has worked with both of those authors in the past. Silverlight novella is exciting, but I'm incredibly excited for this probably Threnody book. The second idea, where an expedition is sent back to the old continent is the story I've been wanting to hear since I first read Shadows for Silence. Hey Nightblood fans, take heart! From this it sounds like although Nightblood isn't close, we'll see it before we see the modern Mistborn trilogy. It is pretty cool to see that Brandon is going to start to complete the main stories that he originally wanted to tell on some of these planets (at least for now). -
According to tracking, mine should be here today, although I have my doubts about Its accuracy.

My curiosity is where Ashyn and Braize woulf fall on that map of Shadesmar that we got from TWoK. Presumably they are adjacent to Roshar, as they share the same system. I could see an argument wherein Braize might not have a huge representation on the Cognitive Realm, as it is populated wholly by Splinters, but Ashyn as a populated world should be nearby, in my mind. I've always rather thought it might be the Expanse of the Broken Skies, as it has the floating cities on it, which should probably do something quite odd in Shadesmar. I'm pretty sure that Vibrance corresponds to Nalthis and Vapors corresponds to Scadrial though. The names just make too much sense to me.

One point of information on the Fen page is that we don't know the specific region or culture that speaks Fen, so that's why its on its own page. If it did, Fen would probably redirect there, as that's our current standard. If that's something people are interested in changing, we can talk about it. I too wonder if there is sufficient information to create pages that are just languages.

A Theory on the Origin of Adonalsium [Calamity Spoilers]
Windrunner replied to Amanuensis's topic in Cosmere Discussion
I do not believe that we've had any sort of confirmation that Adonalsium had a Vessel, unless it slipped by me, which is possible. Do you recall where you saw that fact? -
To clarify, Shadesmar is just a name for the Cognitive Realm, the two are synonymous.

2016-11-30 [Arcanum Unbounded] Borderlands - San Francisco, CA
Windrunner replied to Weltall's topic in Events and Signings
I really think that it's mostly him wanting us to not know much about the Truthwatchers. He has been similarly tight-lipped on Renarin as well. -
So, I've made the infobox and gotten it approved by the wiki team. I'm in the process of adding it to the system pages now. Skaa, I also spoke to the others on the wiki staff, and we've decided we're going with consistency and naming all the systems by the same convention. Mashe now is a redirect to Selish System.

Just saw this on reddit, only to see that it's here as well. Excellent work, I thoroughly enjoyed it!

Birthright is dead for all intents and purposes. There's a chance it might be revived if the movie does well or something similar, but currently it's not set to come out at all.

I'm of the opinion that we default the system name to the names as given in Arcanum Unbounded. Until we hear further, I'm going to consider Greater Roshar as a dead term and default to the Rosharan system for the name until we hear different. Printed canon takes precedence over interview questions unless Brandon is clarifying a mistake in the books. I don't want to name the systems after the stars, especially considering we don't have names for any of the stars aside from Mashe. I agree that we should have a system infobox, I can throw one together pretty quickly by stealing from Joe's wikicode. xD

Not until it arrives, I think. I just appreciate a number at all though. I waited too long to order Elantris last year and almost didn't end up with a copy.

Distinguishing sand masters, the Diem, and the sand profession
Windrunner replied to Jofwu's topic in The Coppermind Wiki
Hmm, I'm not sure about the template thing. I'd default to organization primarily as well. That's more of an @Joe ST question. The redirects are made, although I added a disambiguation page so people who are searching the term sand master(s) can decide whether they are looking for Diem or Sand mastery.- 10 replies

Brandon just posted a really cool breakdown of immortality in the cosmere on reddit. The most interesting bit of it for me is this though: Heralds are a type of Cognitive shadow. This makes intuitive sense to me, as they're killed repeatedly so there must be some method by which they continue to live, but I thought it was very interesting.

Distinguishing sand masters, the Diem, and the sand profession
Windrunner replied to Jofwu's topic in The Coppermind Wiki
Agreed, I can do that redirect on Sand master if you want me to do so. Is there any content from the Sand master page worth keeping currently, in your opinion?- 10 replies

I think that's an excellent point. If this view is truly from Silverlight, it must have at least some component in the Physical Realm. (Although the idea of a city that is populated in both the Physical Realm and the Cognitive Realm is kind of fun.) It could still be some sort of space ship or station, but upon closer review of the image itself, it really does appear to be an ancient mural of some sort, with cracks in the paint and whatnot, which implies to me that this is a reproduction from an actual building, much like many of the Stormlight endpapers.

Distinguishing sand masters, the Diem, and the sand profession
Windrunner replied to Jofwu's topic in The Coppermind Wiki
Does the graphic novel actually use the term Sand Profession? I've read the prose version more often and they just refer to the profession of sand masters as the Diem. My initial reaction is to make the page "Sand master" cover the manifestation of Investiture itself, the ribbons of sand, overmastery, slatrification, and so on, and have the Diem page describe both the physical building and the organization itself, as well as the stuff that relates it to the other profession (the content that you've referred to as the sand profession). Because there aren't really any sand masters outside of the Diem, there's not much need to make any distinction between the Profession and the organization, as they are essentially one and the same.- 10 replies

That really is a lovely looking book. Will look nice next to Elantris.
