Questioner
How much involvement does the other planet in the same system as Roshar have with Roshar?
Brandon Sanderson
*long pause* Your question has a fundamental flaw to it.
Questioner
And that is?
Brandon Sanderson
That there are multiple planets that have an influence on Roshar.
Questioner
I thought there were multiple planets in the system that...
Brandon Sanderson
There are, but you said "the other", there are more than one so the phrase, "the other" doesn't make sense.
Questioner
How much influence do the other planets have?
Brandon Sanderson
A great deal.

Are the Cognitive Shadows on Braize the Shades of the Knights Radiant?

Has Hoid ever visited the planet Braize?
Brandon Sanderson
*singing* RAFO! Such a big RAFO! The biggest RAFO!
Leiyan
Can you tell me the order the three planets [located the Rosharan system] are in?
Brandon Sanderson
No.
Leiyan
Because I know Braize is the third one, I've heard that, is that true?
Brandon Sanderson
I'm staying closed-lipped about a lot of this.
R'Shara
Has Braize always been 9-centric or did it become so because of Odium?
Brandon Sanderson
RAFO.
Windrunner
Braize's core has an interesting metal. Would you consider this metal to be a God Metal or no?
Brandon Sanderson
So, I would not consider it to be a God Metal.
Windrunner
You would not, okay. And that would have been something that would have been set up when Adonalsium created the system.
Brandon Sanderson
This was not placed there by any of the Shards of Adonalsium.
Okay, would I call it a God Metal? *hrmms indecisively* This is where we get into it, right? Like, what do we consider a God Metal? It is not a God Metal of one of the sixteen Shards. There you go.
Windrunner
Well, that's an excellent hint.
Brandon Sanderson
I would not consider it a God Metal of one of the sixteen Shards. It was not placed there by one of the sixteen Shards.
Windrunner
We love to do "what is" here, so if you want to answer "what is a God Metal?" we'd be happy to run through it.
Brandon Sanderson
It depends, like, right now I-- what is a God Metal? Right now I call the God Metals the essences of the sixteen. But God Metal's a term that kind of developed naturally in the community. It's not really a thing that the early in-world characters could even really define. And so, there's something wonky about the moon and bits of it hit the planet, so, you know? There's maybe some myths and stories on Roshar that you might have heard that have something to do with this and some of those-- all of those stories mean something, so there you are.

Does Damnation exist in all three Realms?
Brandon Sanderson
(paraphrased)
Yes, all three.

Are odiumspren the only spren who live on Braize?
Brandon Sanderson
(paraphrased)
Only odiumspren are welcome on Braize, but they're different from anything we've seen so far.
Herald
(paraphrased)
Is there more significance to the 10 other planets around the Rosharan star system and them being gaseous? We know that Roshar's moons have unnatural orbits; so there seems to be some astronomical manipulation in the system.
Brandon Sanderson
(paraphrased)
Yes there is significance of 16 in cosmere and 10 in Rosharan system.
Herald
(paraphrased)
The outer 10 gas giants in the Rosharan system suggest a tie to the number 10 that predates the arrival of the current Shards. Is the prominent numerology we see around the cosmere an inherent property of the planets, rather than the Shards who invest them?
Brandon Sanderson
(paraphrased)
Big RAFO.
Herald
(paraphrased)
Would Ashyn/Braize share the 10-centric numerology of Roshar?
Brandon Sanderson
(paraphrased)
Yes 10-centric is for the entire Rosharan planetary system...wait Braize is 9-centric.

(paraphrased)
Is there any sort of civilization on Braize?
Brandon Sanderson
(paraphrased)
Braize is the weirdest one because it's kind of like a prison. So, is there any civilization on Braize? Kind of. It's like a prison. That's all I'll say.
Question
So WoR mentions a particularly bright star known as the Tear (a reference to a tear shed by somebody named Reya) is that "star" actually one of the other planets in the greater roshar system, if so is it Ashyn or Braize?
Brandon Sanderson
RAFO.
Narkac
At the end of TWoK, in the last Dalinar's vision, he stands "in a place of smoke. He turned about, wary. The sky was dark and he stood on a field of dull, bone-white rock, jagged and rough, extending in all directions. Off into eternity". Is this place Damnation/Braize ?
Brandon Sanderson
That will be explained in Oathbringer. So RAFO.
Questioner
So Odium is trapped on a planet near Roshar. Now that Talenelat is no longer being bound wherever he's at, does that mean that Odium's imminence is--
Brandon Sanderson
Taln still is keeping to the Oathpact. So there is that. But [Odium's] being bound is greater than the Oathpact.
