Sigh. Jordo will have to fix it.

A lot of us are going to the Steampunk Ball in costume. But I don't think there's a planned dinner or anything like that.

Many of the symbols won't be explained for years yet. This is a 10-book series, after all. The image may be made into a poster though.

Why would someone bother to hack someone's 5-year-old account where they maybe made one post ever?

I said the mistwraiths were human. The first generation *kandra* were from Rashek's party. The mistwraiths were all the other feruchemists that Rashek dehumanized. And I speculated on where mistwraiths come from.

Nicrosil/Duralumin still obeys conservation. It only burns up what you have inside; it doesn't increase what you have. I recommend doing the math.

How do you pronounce that double "k" in "Kkoloss"?
Brandon isn't huge on pronunciation, but it may be something like Korean (geminate/doubled) tense consonants.

The original mistwraiths were human too. I always thought they should reproduce like amoebas when they got too big, but I think Brandon has denied that.

No. Sounds totally weird.

But...Lloyd Alexander is brilliant. Eddings doesn't hold a candle to him; I wouldn't mention them in the same breath.

Ending the previews on such a huge cliffhanger would just be cruel.

Mythwalker has 22 chapters. It has 3 races from lowest ranked to highest called Skaa, Eruntu, and Kkoloss. The Skaa are kind of like the Parshmen. The Kkoloss are the nobles. The main character (boy from a small town) is an Eruntu. Vvenna and Siri are Kkoloss who are cousins and look nearly identical. A thousand years ago, the dark god took over the world.

Brandon did write most of the Alloy of Law annotations, except for the first two chapters and the last few. So if he finishes those by the time I'm done running Mythwalker chapters, we can start putting them up.
