I'm inclined to believe that we are very close.  For a multitude of reasons.

Realmatic Theory works that way something that happens on one realm affects the others.

The imposter Ook is whoever set up the original "alt_account" for the Elantris thing.

I think Way of Kings is going to have plenty subtle clues for us theorizers to pick up, and many more for me to deliberately misinterpret.

I'm stoked to be theorizing again.

There are a few things that if you have read Dragonsteel it will change how you look at it.  Whether it ends up being a canonical consistency or just a current coincidence I'm not sure, but there is one HUGE magic thing that is shared between the two.

I'm happy to be theorizing for the first time on BS's forums. Unfortunately I wasn't here before Mistborn came out. How I wish I could change that. BUT NO! We will not look back! For it is the future we now theorize!

Oh, ah, uh... Dangit!  I'm trying to figure out what it is you're talking about.  Certainly a basic understanding of Realmatic Theory comes from reading Dragonsteel, but I can't recall anything from the prologue that made me think of Dragonsteel.  Maybe if I read Dragonsteel again...but I just started the WoT. :P

Not from the prologue necessarily.

Curse you Alpha Readers!!!

And I think that Peter may be astonished by the fact that we have gotten the Prologue, and we're already searching for/found  Hoid.

Hey, I just reread the prologue, and I noticed flame(fire?)spren.  Looks like emotions aren't the only things that attract these guys.  Hmm...  They seem to be everywhere.  I am now going to attach great significance to these little guys in my mind, and keep it there until the book tells me otherwise, and maybe even if it does tell me otherwise.  What are these things?

Spren?

Awe, don't worry about them.

DRAGONSTEEL was the book Brandon wrote after ELANTRIS. Some of its concepts have been moved to WAY OF KINGS.

We got a spine width on the book today that may be final: 2 7/16". That's almost 1/4" wider than TGS.
