Is something wrong with Roshar’s afterlife?
Uh, why do you ask?
Because of the Tranquiline Halls stuff? Needing to reclaim them?
Um. So, I’m… not going to answer anything about Roshar’s afterlife.
Kay, alright.

Do you know what color, off the top of your head, the soulcaster is supposed to be? First book said gold and the second book said silver.
It depends on the soulcaster.
Is that a Peter…?
I believe silver is the accurate one. That’s a PAFO, though.

Is Iyatil from Southern Scadrial?
Iyatil (he pronounced it like yah-till) has heritage along those lines, but she is not.
Is her mask Invested?
Mmm, no.

Do the Ire age because they’re not on Sel?
(uncertain) Uh, they do…? They… they age, but it’s not the sort of aging that you and I do.
Okay! Interesting…

Is Threnody in the same planetary system as Sel?
No it is not.
If a Shard’s Vessel dies and drops a body and two people step in to take up the power, what would happen?
RAFO.
Did the original 16 break Adonalsium with the intent to gain the shards and the power, or was that a happy/unhappy side effect?
RAFO.
Are Shard vessels able to have children?
Yes they are.
Even Sazed, with his body being a eunuch?
Yes, though technically all of Scadrial are the children of Preservation and Ruin.

If Preservation and Ruin created life on Scadrial but did not create Feruchemy, where does it come from? The Planet?
All magic systems come from Shards power in some way.
WSB: I thought there were magic before the shards originated from the shattering of Adonalsium
Why do some spren not receive the Nahel-bond?
RAFO.
How close are all of the shard worlds in space?
(Not verbatum) The cosmere takes place in a dwarf galaxy and all the worlds are close together.
Close as in say 10 light-years?
More like 50. He went on to say that Peter has some harder numbers and that it might have to change a little.

Has Odium ever been to Threnody?
RAFO.
The metal used on Shardblades for training, is it made out of aluminum?
This question seemed to get the most reaction out of him. He laughed and smiled, and said “that’s a very smart question, well done, you’re on the right track.”
Which of the 16 original shardholders know Hoid the best?
RAFO.
Is Hoid related to any of the 16 original Shard bearers?
RAFO.
How far can a shardholder see beyond his own world?
In the spirit realm they can see infinitely.
I assume Sazed does not know the metal used in Lessie’s spike because it’s offworld, but Odium seems aware of Sazed/Harmony. Why is this?
Odium has a lot more knowledge that Sazed, he has had the power longer, and there are forces purposely trying to limit Harmony’s knowledge.
Can a kandra duplicate a parshendi carapace?
No, they cannot.
Is it more difficult to Worldhop if you are carrying things with you, such as allomantic metals?
No, it is not.
It there a link between Trell and Nalt from Mistborn and Nu Ralik and Van Makik from Stormborn?
“No, there isn’t, maybe just tenuously.” He said something like that. He seemed confused that I asked that.
Was aluminum used in the shattering of Adonalsium in any way?
RAFO.
Can a spren or Seon travel to another shardworld?
Yes they can, though are more bound to their world but they can travel else where.
Can Sazed communicate with Leras or Ati?
No, he cannot.
Why did Hoid not take both beads of lerasium?
Hoid has an innate ability to know where he needs to be and what he needs to do.
In Way of Kings SYl leaves Kaladin before he means Hoid because she gets a bad feeling, did this have to do with Hoid himself or something unrelated?
RAFO, I believe. I don’t remember an answer for it. unsure emoticon.
Have Kelsier and Marsh communicated in any way post-Hero of Ages?
“I don’t want to answer this right now, there will be other short stories that will go over this.”
Marsh says Wax is “doing his brother’s work,” is this a reference to what Kelsier did in the past or present?”
In the past, as in Kelsier was trying to help the little people and people who could not help themselves.
