Question
Is Nalan using his original Honorblade, or did he bond a spren?Brandon Sanderson
He's using his original Honorblade. But there's an asterisk here that will come up in Oathbringer.Tags

Question
Does Silverlight exist solely in the Cognitive Realm?Brandon Sanderson
Yes.Tags

Question
Were the planets in the Threnodite System named like that in response to Ambition's demise?Brandon Sanderson
It is not a coincidence that so many of the planets have to do with songs of mourning or passing, in that system. So, you are on to something.Tags

Question
What does the Red Rip look like in the Cognitive Realm?Brandon Sanderson
So this is a RAFO, in part because I haven't revealed if there are any planets out there.Footnote
(MY NOTE: Brandon totally knew where I was trying to go with this one, and he doesn't want to let us know if Yolen is part of the constellation.)Tags

Question
Was Bavadin nonhuman?Brandon Sanderson
RAFO. There is at least one Shard who wasn't human, but I'm not ready to reveal who was or wasn't just yet.Tags

Question
What was the name of Ambition's Vessel?Brandon Sanderson
RAFO.Tags

Question
Could only Lift see Szeth's afterimages?Brandon Sanderson
Anyone sufficiently Invested can see them. Connection to the Cognitive Realm helps, too.Tags

Question
If a Shard were to divest itself from a planet, would the perpendicularity there disappear?Brandon Sanderson
Normally the shardpool would cease to exist, but there are circumstances that could prevent the shardpool from disappearing.Tags

Question
Is ReLuur's spike made of Atium?Brandon Sanderson
hesitated a for a second RAFO. You get a card though. It's not that big of a spoiler, but the answer would bring up questions that are.Tags

Question
Are the Svrakiss cognitive shadows?Brandon Sanderson
RAFO. But you expected that.Tags

Question
If you tapped blank Identity in an area, would you develop the area's accent?Brandon Sanderson
It's part of what you need. You need to both blank your Identity and tap Connection to get the accent.Footnote
Note: Sanderson interpreted this question as blanking identity. Also, I don't think tapping blank identity is a thing, so it was not a great question.Tags

Question
If Shai had a gold shadow, and she used one of her Essence Stamps, would her gold shadow change to reflect her new self?Brandon Sanderson
Yes, because she is changing her soul so the gold shadow changes.Tags

14
Question
If you were on Roshar, and tapped Connection, would you be unable to use Scadrial magic?Brandon Sanderson
No, but that's a good question. You would not be able to use Selish magic though, because that is dependent on location.Tags

Question
Did Demoux achieve immortality by manipulating his Connection age?Brandon Sanderson
Demoux uses the same method as most of the Seventeenth Shard. That method slows aging by a lot, but doesn't stop it completely.Tags

Question
During the events of Stormlight Archive, is Yolen still populated?Brandon Sanderson
Yes... yes, I would say so since a letter is written to somebody on Yolen.Tags
, -
17
Question
Was Leras bonded to a being in the Cognitive Realm?Brandon Sanderson
You mean like a Nahel bond? Yes, or a similar mechanism. Well, you have to remember that Shards interact with the realms in a different way, so... Well, I more mean before Leras became a Vessel. Anything before then is RAFO. (and I got a card)Tags

Question
You've mentioned before that Hoid ends up where he needs to be.Brandon Sanderson
Yes, and usually without knowing why.Question
Is Chromium involved in that?
Brandon Sanderson
Yes. Well, he's not necessarily using Chromium, but the underlying mechanic, yes.

Question
Does Lift see Wyndle a different way than another Edgedancer would see their spren?Brandon Sanderson
Yes, but only slightly. She sees a longer vine, and slightly more, but it's not a big difference.Tags

Question
Szeth refers to Nightblood as sword-nimi. What is the -nimi ending?Brandon Sanderson
It is an honorific.Question
And why does he call it "sword", and not by its name?
Brandon Sanderson
It has not told him its name.

Only odiumspren are welcome on Braize, but they're different from anything we've seen so far.Tags
