Those spren bodies that were brought into the Physical Realm by Ishar. Could an Awakener make it Lifeless?
Brandon Sanderson
This is within the realm of possibility.
MangoMongo
What about Forgery?
Brandon Sanderson
Forgery would be a little harder. Because you'd need to know what went wrong to make it go well. I'd say Forgery could accomplish this.

1) In their place of torture, are the Heralds able to communicate with each other or with other people/spren outside of that place? E.g. how is Ishar able to maintain his threat of severing the Nahel bond if he is being tortured for hundreds of years? 2)When the Heralds return to Roshar, do they appear like Schwarzenegger in Terminator (nude) or do they appear with the clothing they wore when they signed up for the Oathpact? 3)Are the Honorblades involved in the torture of the Heralds? Again, thank you for taking the time to interact with us fans and readers.
Brandon Sanderson
I have to RAFO questions along the lines of what you're asking. These are things that are relevant to books 6-10, which probably won't even be written for a decade. Talking about them too much now would be counter-productive, I feel. Sorry. :(

Now that we have canon art of Ishar, Shalash, Jezrien, and Vedel, what Rosharan nationalities would you say they resemble the most?
Brandon Sanderson
Jezrien and Vedel would be seen as Alethi, most likely. Shalash would be seen as Azish, while Ishar would be seen as Shin, probably.

Wait, but if Ishar looks like he’s from Shinovar, how did the Tukkari accept him as the God-Priest?
Brandon Sanderson
That's a RAFO--but is a question you're supposed to be asking.
Questioner
With regards to certain experiments, would it be fair to say Ishar and a certain Scadrian have similar goals?
Brandon Sanderson
*hesitation noises* I don't know that I would say that 100%. The certain Scadrian you reference has been able to achieve the goals that he wants. Let's see if I can circumlocute this: there's a certain set of bones floating around that already has a Connection to this individual, which was useful in achieving what he wanted to do, which is not a luxury that Ishar has.
CCQ
I just read Edgedancer. I was just wondering... Did Ishar deceive Nalan on purpose or was he just wrong-- he had wrong information?
Brandon Sanderson
All the Heralds are insane.
CCQ
Okay.
Brandon Sanderson
It manifests in different ways. Do not trust anything any Herald says. Ever.
CCQ
Okay.
Brandon Sanderson
Nale trusts Ishar too much.
CCQ
Okay, but so did he do it on purpose, or...?
Brandon Sanderson
Um... So "on purpose" is a difficult thing when you're referring to someone with the psychology that Ishar has.
CCQ
Did he know what it was-- that it was a lie?
Brandon Sanderson
*sighs* Alright, I'll RAFO that until I get to him, but the answer is kind of a yes and a no. Okay? So there is part of him that knows and there is part of him that doesn't want to believe it. And yet the things he's been doing lately in Roshar are done because he knows what's coming.

If a Cognitive Shadow or a Splinter gained Connection to the Physical Realm, could they just transition through a perpendicularity to manifest a physical form, or is something else required?
Brandon Sanderson
Something else would be required, because you're... But that would take you a long way. It's going to depend on the situation, right?
Questioner
Because Ishar was doing something where like he was Connecting spren...
Brandon Sanderson
Yes, Ishar was doing something, and so for instance, spren are gonna be played a little differently than a Cognitive Shadow would be played. Like, Cognitive Shadows, that's just not gonna be enough. But spren is much closer. This has to do with how much Investiture's involved and how they're Connected and things like this, but it's not quite enough. In most cases.
Questioner
So Ishar was doing something in addition to just Connecting the spren to the Physical Realm?
Brandon Sanderson
Yes. He was indeed doing something more.
Sheyaan Bhesania
Can whatever Ishar is doing to the spren help Thaidakar with his issue?
Brandon Sanderson
In a roundabout way, possibly.
