Brandon Sanderson / Re: **SPOILERS! The Shards of Adonalsium

the only specific that I remember is that look and him saying "Interesting", and then telling us that he wouldn't say we were right or wrong, just that it was interesting...

As for the pool, well, I couldn't get a straight yes or no.  I said that and he was like "Intresting" with a funny look.

*insert frustrated rant here* GAH!!!!

the shadesmar picture has me confused though. isn't shadesmar supposed to be the connection of all three planes of existence or something like that? why then is it a map of a large body of water? and does its outlining mean land? i'm confused...

The black is water, and the white is land.

Does EUOL ever say anything that ISN'T important?

The concept art was AMAZING. I too had the good fortune to be at the aforementioned signing, and I must admit, I'm very impressed with what was shown. Especially what was on the laptop (EUOL brought a piece of FINISHED artwork... Said he'd be posting it soon)

Roshar and Shadesmar! That's the two!

Yeah. EUOL told me that Hoid uses Shadesmar to get from world to world. That was before I knew that Shadesmar was a place that could me mapped, mind. I'm gonna go out on a limb and guess that Shadesmar is a place that is an in between place.. A place that is neither here nor there. Check out http://www.inbetweenplaces.com/ for what I'm talking about... The description on that page seems like a likely description of Shadesmar..

It will be discussed in WoK, I'm fairly sure of it. Silly EUOL and his noncommittal answers... Ah well, we'll see soon enough.

I'd say more, but I don't wanna go off ruining any of WoK's plot points with my stab-in-the-dark guessing...

Ah, but what of his means of world jumping? Or is that covered in Dragonsteel?

I think that we all have parts of the greater puzzle... We really just need to pool it all together... Take all the crap that is scattered about this thread, and consolidate it into one big post, maybe start a new thread for all that we know about him... and then another with sightings...

And as for Dragonsteel... I recall Brandon saying that he's incorporating parts of it into WoK...

It's on page 350. Very end of chapter 32.

So... Brandon told me that I needed to hop on the forums and "help pool available resources", as APPARENTLY he's told me something rather relevant that you guys don't know yet about the Hoid phenomenon...

At present time... The one thing that is jumping to my mind is what Hoid says to Siri in Warbreaker:

Quote
“Thank you,” Siri said quietly. “It was good of you to speak of it. Tell me, where did
you lean such an. . .unusual method of storytelling?”

Hoid looked up, smiling. “I learned it many, many years ago from a man who didn’t
know who he was, your majesty. It was a distant place where two lands meet and gods have
died. But that is unimportant.”

As for the place where two lands meet and gods have died, I'm relatively sure that it's not Scadrial. I'm fairly sure that the description is much closer to is the world where Way Of Kings takes place. (firstEggnogToast, would you please remind me of the names of the two places shown on the rough maps that EUOL passed around today?)

He also did mention to me how Hoid gets from world to world. It was an obscure reference at the time (we all know how Brandon is, random words that hold no meaning when he mentions them).. but we'll save that discussion for a later time.  ;)

See if we  can't get some good discussion going on about Hoid again.
