    Taeidin takes the sandwich and eats it. "Would have been better with mushrooms."
  2. Through The Living Ash
    Taeidin sets up a bunch of stones like dominoes, then plinks them over one by one. "Hmm. Well, there's a lot of different people who know this person, but it seems like the majority of them are that way." He gestures in a direction that is right in relation to where they came from. "But it seems like they are a bit aways."

    "I can see where someone who knows this person is," Taeidin offers.

    "Well, I've never seen glass glow before, so that's something." Taeidin thinks for a moment. "Maybe the person is important?"
  5. Through The Living Ash
    "It's a little glass statue."
  6. Through The Living Ash
    Taeidin reaches into the stump and pulls out the source of the light. It is a glass figurine of a person, glowing softly with a soothing yellow light.

    Do you want to say what's in there or do you want me to?
  8. Through The Living Ash
    I was thinking the same thing Taeidin peers down to inspect the glow. "We're gonna have to split the rest of this stump to get to it."

    "Yeah, maybe... is there anything in here other than trees?"

    "Well, I would have to know what I am looking for... my guess is that you overheard them discussing something and when they realised you were there, they wiped your memory to prevent this thing from getting out. But... what were they doing out here?"

    The Honorblades were already there. The Heralds didn't go themselves; Kaladin describes seeing them as "ghostly figure," implying it was an aspect of the Heralds but not the Heralds themselves.

    To rephrase the ideal without two "it"s: I will seek truth and share it with those in need.

    @Kaladin Stormcursed did you see this?

    This holds merit, but there are a few key points that I disagree with. 1. The Spiritual Realm does not exist in all times, as you put it. Time is clearly shown to progress forwards, just at different rates rather than linearly. I am not certain what you mean by existing in all places. 2. You are correct; if people do pass into the Beyond, they could never return. This does not mean that they could not be recreated, however. As previously stated, it is possible to look into the past exactly and see what a person was, then form them anew from that. It would be extremely difficult to do though, and Brandon is unlikely to ever have this occur (except potentially to bring Adonalsium back). 3. Souls do not "fall apart into Investiture;" they are Investiture, if describing the Cognitive aspect like you were. As the Investiture slowly fades back into the Spiritual Realm, as Investiture in the Cognitive and Physical Realms does, there comes a point at which not enough Investiture remains in the Cognitive Realm for the person to continue their existence, and so they disband. This is why individuals who were more highly Invested in life last longer as a Cognitive Shadow. 4. The Cognitive aspect of a person is not their soul; their spiritweb is. The spiritweb essentially describes who the person is, and remains even after final death, as the person can still hold Connections after they pass into the Beyond. If someone were to physically shift to another dimension of space, as you are saying, this would mean that the spiritweb is also not the soul, and the soul would have to be something else. If this were true, what would there be for a Shard to interact with? What is a soul if not the complete description of one's being? 5. It is not a failure of Sazed to bring Vin and Elend back; they willingly move on, as seen in Mistborn: Secret History. Retribution seemingly could have kept Dalinar in the Cognitive, if not for some other force holding domain over Dalinar. 6. You state that if God could die, then the Cosmere could not have existed. I do not see the reasoning why this should hold true. 7. One cannot exist in zero dimensions of time, that would simply be nonexistence. I am not sure what existing outside of time is supposed to mean. That is not to say that there is no ultimate God overseeing the Cosmere; in fact, I find that likely given the current direction of the books. Maybe it was Adonalsium, which intentionally died, or maybe it is something else. People could ultimately move into the Beyond, just not how you are describing it.

    Here is the Coppermind article on them: Terion - The Coppermind - 17th Shard Hope you find that helpful. I don't think we know anything further about them than what is listed there.

    "So, you came here to chop wood, heard a voice, and then - what? It took away your memory and moved you a bit away?"
  17. Through The Living Ash
    "No. Was the voice like, different or the same than the ones you hear?"
  18. Through The Living Ash
    "They're usually alone."
  19. Through The Living Ash
    "I hope not." I haven't really thought ahead at all I've just been rolling with whatever happens.

    "What did the voice say?" I have a few ideas about the orbs but I'm not settled on anything. Taeidin did see them before he met Cep.
  21. Through The Living Ash
    Taeidin returns to Cep. "She said you left over there." He points to the place that was indicated.
  22. Through The Living Ash
    "Which way?"
  23. Through The Living Ash
    It stops raining marbles. "Uh - okay." Taeidin approaches the woman. "Do you know why Cep lost his memories?"
  24. Through The Living Ash
    "I don't know."
  25. Through The Living Ash
    "Oh... no I only have one. The other one doesn't really count."
