Brandon Sanderson / Re: The Comprehensive Hemalurgy Thread

Yeah, it has. This topic has been dead for a while now, which is rational since there isn't much to theorize about Hemalurgy anymore, with MB3 long since released.

there's going to be ten in The Stormlight Archive.
What makes you say that?

I don't know where that came from. Apparently my mind wasn't all there when I wrote that post. Although something about it feels right so I'm going to make it my prediction for the number of shards in The Stormlight Archive.

Tee hee :)

Well, there are ten Heralds, as the Prelude says.

No Feruchemy doesn't have it's own Shard.  Brandon has basically said it.  At the time we had Warbreaker, Elantris, and Mistborn.  He said we have seen (I can't remember the numbers exactly) 5 shards, 4 of which we've seen direct effects of.  Something like that though I'm pretty sure I'm wrong about the numbers.


Feruchemy is the balance between Ruin and Preservation. The epigraphs in HoA explicitly state it.

Looks like we're treading old ground, so I shall get the exact quote. I was thinking I could recite what he said perfectly, but I was wrong. Close, though! I promise, I'll be able to recite it eventually.

He said:

Quote
You've interacted with two directly.
One is a tough call.  You've never met the Shard itself, but you've seen its power.  
The other one you have not met directly, but have seen its influence.

Of course, excluding Ruin and Preservation.

Now, I believe the commonly accepted theories, way back on the Shards topic, were: 1) Endowment, 2) Dor, 3)Something about Jaddeth/Dakhor, 4) Hoid.

I'm not sure if I can reveal a piece of information (Omegas, don't get your pants a twist, it's nothing earth-shattering, just a question I asked), but I will say this: tee hee!

I'm listening to Ayumi Hamasaki's new single, which is really, really.

A single I actually like enough that I don't feel it's a gimmick? This is a phenomenal achievement, folks.

My favorite character is Szeth, then Jasnah, then Adolin, then Shallan, then Dalinar, then Kaladin. xD


You're crazy, Kaladin is awesome.

that there are these weapons/armors that are sort of a big deal.

Um, yeah, they are awesome.

Only 350,000 words to go! ;)

Brandon Sanderson / Re: Mistborn Trilogy Sequel *Spoilers*

Brandon said specifically in the Hero of Ages Spoiler thread that there would not be atium anymore in the later Mistborn novels unless Sazed plans to release it.

I'd imagine that while Ruin and Preservation opposed each other, so Preservation could prevent Ruin from the atium, now that Sazed holds all the power, he can do whatever he pleases with it.

So, according to this rule, we can expect that Larasium also returns to this world after some time.

Only if Sazed decides to release some of it.

The worlds of Roshar and Dragonsteel are independent, but Brandon just stole a concept from one of his books because it worked better in this novel.

Classic Brandon cannibalism.

Indeed, and we love him for it.

16 magics would make sense.

Maybe. But maybe it's a really awesome throwaway reference :P

I swear someone once said that WoK was mixed with Liar...
Dragonsteel is mixed with Liar.  Brandon is writing WoK INSTEAD of Liar, which he was originally planning on, but that's about the only connection.

Nonono.  The Shattered Plains were taken from Dragonsteel and used in WoK.  Nothing that I've read in Liar seemed remotely similar to what is in WoK.

That's not true, I'm sure the reference to Ati is quite fascinating :P

Wheel of Time is a separate universe entirely. It is not a part of the cosmere and never was intended to be.

Since Alcatraz is based on Earth, it is not part of that cosmology either.

Why not go ahead and create a separate topic? This one is getting long as it is.
