Vin as HOA?

[GreenMonsta]

I like the idea but it is hard to think that a vessel of Ruin like Marsh and all the Inquisitors would also be the HOA. What if it was a Kandra? I mean they have a religion that has survived from the beginning. It could be Marsh and the prophecy that has been unaltered might be from the Kandra religion. Im aware that the Kandra were supposed to be created by TLR and that would dash my idea so I guess thats the best I have.

Hmm... Why would TLR, who was destroying all religions except his own, let the Kandra have one?

[Andrew the Great]

Oooooh, goody!!! Another Ookla Hint!!!

[Peter Ahlstrom]

There are some very basic yet important questions about kandra that I've never seen anyone ask in this forum.

[Elmandr]

 

So many theories and unansewered questions! Seriously right now i could cook a pop tart in my head...i love pop tarts.

There are some very basic yet important questions about kandra that I've never seen anyone ask in this forum.

Mmmm... I know I've come up with my ridiculous kandra-gave-Kelsier-11th-metal theory, but that's... ridiculousness, and not even remotely close to bringing illuminating questions about the kandra

I do believe, though, that the kandra's need for atium was brought up several times over.

[Czanos]

Well, there's always the basic questions like:

Where do Kandra live?
What do they do with all that atium?
How do Kandra work, exactly?
How do Kandra observe their victims?
How does one purchase a Kandra contract?
How exactly are Kandra and Koloss related?
Does controlling a Kandra via Allomancy grant one access to their memories?

Or more story-specific questions like:

How did Kelsier meet OreSeur?
What other Kandra do we know?
Can we trust the Kandra's religion, or is it a ploy by The Lord Ruler to control them?
How can Steel Inquisitors tell a Kandra apart so easily?
What laws are/were there regarding Kandra's in society?

There are lots of Kandra questions.

[Peter Ahlstrom]

Those are good, but only the first one is actually basic.

[VegasDev]

How are these for basic?


Do kandra go to the bathroom?
When does the next chapter come out? I'm dying here.
Do kandra breath?
How do kandra see?  eyes/allomancy
Why would kandra agree to kill another kandra?
Where do kandra go when they don't have a contract?
How old do kandra live?
How do kandra reproduce? Do they need a partner?

[Miyabi]

When does the next chapter come out? I'm dying here.

I plan on posting five chapters.

So we'll maybe get one a week from now on?

[Peter Ahlstrom]

Much better, VegasDev. Now you're talking!

TenSoon is one of my favorite characters in book 3.

[SarahG]

Here are a few more:

Are contract-less kandra disembodied souls?
In what way are kandra of Preservation?
Are kandra able to draw chaklings?
How exactly are kandra related to mistwraiths?
Is the mist spirit a kandra?
Are kandra afraid of kittens?

I'm not sure how asking questions really helps though; I think most of the answers are unattainable until we read the third book.

[VegasDev]

Ok, see we've got more questions but it doesn't really get us anywhere.

I'll attempt to answer my own questions without any basis in book text.

Do kandra go to the bathroom?
Yes, atium is their feces and the mists are actually their flatulence.

When does the next chapter come out? I'm dying here.
Today, Brandon will send it to you before anyone else reads them as a special privilege since you earned a fell point.

Do kandra breath?
They absorb oxygen through their skin, they don't have lungs.

How do kandra see?  eyes/allomancy
The have hemalurgy, hence the ability to control them. That is how they see.

Why would kandra agree to kill another kandra?
They wouldn't, we only think TenSoon killed OreSuer.

Where do kandra go when they don't have a contract?
Vacation, somewhere nice and warm, maybe a little beachfront property.

How old do kandra live?
Precisely 654 years.

How do kandra reproduce? Do they need a partner?
Binary Fission.

[SarahG]

Do kandra go to the bathroom?
Yes, atium is their feces and the mists are actually their flatulence.

I like it!  Intriguing and creative, though gross (especially for the Mistborn who have to swallow the atium).

Do kandra breathe?
They absorb oxygen through their skin, they don't have lungs.

Um, they don't have skin either.]

How old do kandra live?
Precisely 654 years.

Exactly right!  Thank you for answering all the questions!

They have a membrane they can breathe through.  Skin is just a more vernacular term for anything that holds the insides in.
