| + | '''TSMagus''' is a pseudonym sometimes used by me. I hope to contribute where I can, but I'm probably not an expert on everything. Please send me a message if you need me for a specific task or if I need correction. |
||
| β | '''TSMagus''' is really a fellow by the name of Calvin who pokes his nose in the Coppermind every once in a while. If he makes an edit, it's most likely a minor one because he didn't like the way you worded something. As for doing something actually useful, he provides citations from time to time, but really that's a young man's game and he's seen better days. |

| β | If you want to talk about how unfair it is that [[Aronack]] doesn't have a page, send him a DM. |
||
| + | What are '''Perpendicularities'''? Sanderson says to worldhop you need to ''either'' have magic or find a Perpendicular/Perpendicularity. Also, in the Jasnah POV, her spren says they need to find a "stable junction" to return, and specifically mentions "Honor's Perpendicularity," which is distant. Are they related to shardpools? |

| + | Threnody very clearly has a bright "starbelt." Scadrial has been said to have "a very bright star patch... covering much of the sky," though it isn't usually visible because of the mists.{{qa ref|727|60|There is a very bright star patch|date=17 October 2008}} On Roshar, Taln's Scar has a similar description, though it is noted as being red. How can I use these to determine the planets' relative positions? |

| + | |||
| + | Sanderson uses the term "Final Beyond" to refer to the afterlife, but indicates that there's a "middle place" as well, where people can still interact with the physical realm. These are "cognitive shadows" and include, at least, Kelsier, Threnody's shades, and the Stormfather. |

| + | http://www.theoryland.com/intvmain.php?i=727#60 no18, also see no45 for explanation of how shards fuel allomancy and no57 for Sazed possibly making returned in the future, no58 Sazed can see spirits remaining in spiritual or cognitive realms, no81 Vin and Elend returned in the future, n87 more great beyond |

| + | "The ethnicity of the name should strike you," so Aslydin is probably not originally from Scadrial. She is part of the 17th shard, though, so that's probably how Demoux was drafted. http://www.reddit.com/r/books/comments/2ytg2h/im_novelist_brandon_sanderson_ama/cpcrd4w |

||
| + | Aethers were cannibalized from Liar. Don't be surprised when both books talk about them. |
||
| + | |||
| + | The Heralds aren't originally from Roshar. TRANQUILINE HALLS. |
||
| + | |||
| + | Miles Hundredlives is being influenced by... something. I can't imagine Sazed doing that (though he ''is'' being influenced by both shards) and Sanderson directly stated that Odium knows about Sazed's two shards and ''is scared''. Is Odium doing that? |
