That's a superbly complete answer, thank you so much.

Only tangentially related: is there a thread on the forum that collates the epigraphs from Mistborn, especially from HoA, as was recently done for Way of Kings? I'd love to study those more efficiently than flipping through the books.

Brandon Sanderson / Roots of the Cosmere

Folks,

I came rather late to the Brandon party - I didn't discover him until Warbreaker was coming out - and although I've caught up both on the canon itself and on everything we know about the Cosmere, I am a little handicapped because by the time I got to the fandom a great deal of the background information had already been pinned down. I'm grateful that I had filled in all the gaps by the time I got to Way of Kings, because I think the experience of reading that gorgeous book would be significantly reduced without knowing the context, but at the same time I don't know the intellectual history of the Brandonverse, if you will. When did we first hear the name Adonalsium? Before Way of Kings, was the cosmology only visible through Brandon's interviews and comments, or was there another source? When Hoid turned to Dalinar and said "Adonalsium" the hair stood up on my neck, but I immediately wondered how I even knew about the original entity. Thanks for any help you more experienced readers can offer.
