What @RShara said. Here's the Shadesmar map. Expanse of the Vibrancies is hidden under "Shadesmar". I would also say that Threnody is on the border of Scadrial and Sel, based on things the Ire say.

Brandon's comments are a bit further down, but this link is the entire thread.

This is (in my opinion) the best way to read to pick up on all the cosmere tidbits in the books. -Khriss's Essay on Taldain, White Sand (prose first, then the graphic novels. Prose isn't canon, but is much better than the graphic novels, and contains the whole story. You can obtain White Sand prose by subscribing to Brandon's newsletter) - Khriss's Essay on Sel, Elantris, Hope of Elantris, Emperor's Soul - Khriss's Essay on Threnody, Shadows for Silence in the Forests of Hell -The Eleventh Metal, Mistborn, the Well of Ascension, Hero of Ages -Secret History* -Warbreaker - Khriss's Essay on Roshar, Way of Kings, Words of Radiance, Edgedancer, Oathbringer - Khriss's Essay on Scadrial, Alloy of Law, Shadows of Self, Bands of Mourning, Allomancer Jak and the Pits of Eltania - Khriss's Essay on Drominad, Sixth of the Dusk - Reread Khriss's Essays (All stories in italics are contained in Arcanum Unbounded) *Some may argue that Secret History should be read after Bands of Mourning. I strongly disagree, but it's up to you in the end if you want to place it at the end, after Bands of Mourning. Welcome to the Shard! Have an upvote

Lots of Brandon there... Except on Sunday #neverforget @Chaos You can give @Overlord Jebus crap for pronouncing "Adonalisum" out of order when you stop saying Pajti instead of Patji This was super entertaining to listen to, you guys. I basically agree on all the Patji stuff, that was the way I thought of it too. So are you saying Autonomy has Shards of her own? Such as Trell, Patji and others? I do tend to think there is a directing 'nexus' left if you want to call it that. But it would be very cool if that's the case.

I'll take a crack at some of these... 1) First off, I think I heard talk about Brandon downgrading the idea of a dwarf galaxy to a star cluster. The cosmere in-world would refer to, or replace the word for the universe, but all the relevant stuff happens in one somewhat localized corner of it, centered around Adonalsium and wherever it began. 2) Our universe is not the same one in which the cosmere takes place. 3) For simplicity's sake on Brandon's part, I think he will keep the series of the cosmere contained to the local star cluster, and not bring other galaxies into it. Adonalisum is believed in because he is still in the historic memory of several planets. Other references to the God Beyond are probably going to remain a mystery in the cosmere along with anything in the Beyond, or the cosmere's version of the true afterlife. 4) If the theory I am linking to below is correct, Adonalsium came to life through the natural manifestations in the cosmere, and went on to create some planets. It is possible Adonalsium really was a god and created the whole universe, but we really don't know. 5) Yes. There are other sentient races in the cosmere we have yet to see, but we've seen kandra and equines and sentient plantlife so anything's possible. 6) Some good theories that I like a lot about Adonalsium's supposed godhood in this thread:

If anyone is looking for questions, here's my list (I missed my chance in Seattle last week):

Sounds good! If you're looking for places to eat, Blazing Bagels is amazing, as is Mox Boarding House (They're a board and card game shop with a restaurant attached where you can borrow games while you eat, tons of fun). Hope you have a good few weeks.

No worries! Maybe you saw me around, I was in a blue hoodie and black backpack. I picked up three of Jemma M Young's pieces: Raoden, Elend and Vin, and the Fused (Venli?). they were out of Shallan by that time, unfortunately. Did you end up getting in any of my questions on Saturday, or is what's in Arcanum all that was recorded? (No worries if you didn't, we did get some awesome answers) I did have a good time, though we did a lot more than just the ECCC while we were in town. We went to Bill Speidel's Underground Tour, walked along the pier and Pike's Market, played Mistborn House War (as I mentioned) and headed up to the Sky View Observatory. All tons of fun. I hope your trip over the pond was fun and worthwhile as well!

Man, I forgot about this... Maybe I'll find some time to delve into this in the spring/summer. Sorry to all who I've left on a cliffhanger that was cruel of me.

So I was there on Sunday but did indeed miss Brandon and Pat. And the Shattered Plain VR signup was full, though I did watch the play through a little bit. I still had tons of fun at the event, and picked up some great cosmere fanart at least. Also, shout out to @CaptainRyan for being an awesome person to play the Mistborn House War game with! That alone made the trip worth it. Next year if Brandon is there we will try to go for all four days so we know we'll snag him.

Thanks a lot! I totally will. I hope the booth is still there at least, I want some goodies. On that note, what's the fancy con exclusive of Elantris like? Is it just the Dragonsteel Leatherbound or is it anything different?

So I've learned that Brandon is probably flying out on Sunday, so I will probably miss him. That said, we will still be coming down, and any Sanderfans that are there on Sunday I would love to meet and talk Cosmere with. ps: if anyone thought my questions were interesting, you're more than welcome to ask some Here they are:

Anyone there today and willing to find out if Brandon will be around or at his booth on Sunday?

Appreciated. This is unfortunate...It still lists him as being there for all 4 days, maybe he will be at his booth?

Sunday

Looking forward to it. The ECCC site has also updated Brandon's schedule, and it says he will be there all days, but only lists his signings on the Thursday and Friday (IIRC). This is somewhat worrysome to me, does anyone know how accurate that is or what to expect? Still wondering about Con protocol, as it will be my first one.

I have a hard time picking a marvel movie, but Black Panther had me considering it seriously. I agree with everything @TheOrlionThatComesBefore said.

Ideally, it would be Nightblood, but it could reasonably be Secret Histroy 2, the Silverlight novelly, the Sixth of the Dusk followup, Wandersail, Dark One or something else. I just honestly hope it's cosmere. Though if it turns out to be Rithmatist 2 I wouldn't be disappointed.

Here's their website : https://mistborn-coins.backerkit.com/hosted_preorders As of now, they are up for preorder.

I really like the idea and it's worth thinking about. I'm sure that Brandon initially wrote them to suit the characters, but it does seem odd that they would be so prophetic. It's possible that Brandon added something in there to explain it, and no one's asked yet.

Attracting the wrong kind of spren in Shadesmar would be fatal, but all are harmless in the Physical Realm.

Amazing collection! I might rival you in signed books, but you definitely have me beat with paraphernalia! I especially like the pins, very nice. Do you have any of the vials of metal you can buy of Sanderson's shop?

Brandon has said we've seen at least one on page, but he hasn't said where and as of yet we only have unconfirmed guesses.

Good questions. First two are probably RAFO bait, but you tend to get him to answer the good ones. As for Iyatil, perhaps starting off with "Has Iyatil used the Metallic Arts?" But if you asked the Misting question and he hemmed and hawed that would confirm that she's had a spike.

Looking forward to meeting you on the Sunday! This is my first con as well, so I am unable to answer. The autographs for most of the actors at ECCC seem to cost money, but I haven't seen anything like that for the authors. I'm hoping there's a way to record, and would also like to know what kinds of protocol there are that might be different.
