m (The closest I can find to that exact quote is "I have spoken with our friends, and they are quite happy where they are" (HoA epilogue), and even that doesn't say Sazed spoke to them where they are; given the wealth of WoBs about how Brandon doesn't want to give definite answers about the Beyond and documenting how he kind of reversed course on this after HoA, it seems clear this quote is referring to Sazed talking to them in the Cognitive Realm and doesn't feel like it's necessary to add here) Tag: Undo |

Before someone moves on to the Beyond, their Cognitive aspect can be returned to their physical body with the proper [[Investiture]], both by use of an Invested Art{{wob ref|5888}}{{book ref|mb6|28}}{{book ref|sa2|88}}{{book ref|sa2.5|8}} or by the act of a [[Shard]].{{wob ref|143}}{{book ref|sa3|38}} It is also possible to escape the pull of the Beyond by entering a [[perpendicularity]] and becoming a [[Cognitive Shadow]],{{msh ref|1|1}}{{wob ref|5784}}{{wob ref|8324}} though this method does not restore a person's ties to the Physical Realm.{{msh ref|2|1}} Being killed by an unsheathed [[Nightblood]] or [[anti-Investiture]] prevents a person's mind from being preserved,{{wob ref|10440}}{{book ref|sa4|97}}{{wob ref|14623}} though it is unclear if it also prevents a person's mind from going to the Beyond. [[Vasher]] has considered that question before, indicating he may be aware of the Beyond to at least some extent.{{wob ref|5074}} If a person was saved from the Beyond by the direct act of a Shard, the Shard may later choose to withdraw their Investiture, sending the person to the Beyond.{{book ref|sa3|118}} If someone uses [[Forgery]] to make themself die, they will not come back from the Beyond when the seal breaks,{{wob ref|1601}} and it seems unlikely that there is anyway for someone to return from the Beyond.
