Do Axies's and Jasnah's reversed shadows have a common source?
Brandon Sanderson
(paraphrased)
Yes.
Skaiiwalker
(paraphrased)
Does it have anything to do with its draw towards Investiture?
Brandon Sanderson
(paraphrased)
*After a pause* It has more to do with Shadesmar than Investiture.

There's a bunch of us on 17th Shard doing a role playing game set in the Reckoners universe, and we were wondering if there are any powerful Epics on the west coast that we should know about.
Brandon Sanderson
(paraphrased)
Night's Whisper is a super powerful Epic on the west coast, and Obliteration could definitely be there for Oregon's destruction.
Skaiiwalker
(paraphrased)
What does Investiture look like in the Spiritual Realm?
Brandon Sanderson
(paraphrased)
Er, I haven't said anything about that yet.
Skaiiwalker
(paraphrased)
But is it important?
Brandon Sanderson
(paraphrased)
Yes, it's important.
Skaiiwalker
(paraphrased)
Could you say that it looks anything like mist?
Brandon Sanderson
(paraphrased)
Well you could say that it looks anything like mist. *smiles teasingly*
Skaiiwalker

Are there any kandra on Roshar?
Brandon Sanderson
(paraphrased)
Yes.
Skaiiwalker
(paraphrased)
Is Axies one of them?
Brandon Sanderson
(paraphrased)
No, but good guess. The Aimians are a different race.
Skaiiwalker
(paraphrased)
Did any kandra survive the end of Hero of Ages?
Brandon Sanderson
(paraphrased)
Yes.
Lindel

There's that trick with Feruchemy that lets you make metalminds that others can tap. Could you do something similar with Self-Awakening?
Brandon Sanderson
(paraphrased)
Oh yeah, there are all sorts of tricks that you can do. You could use other peoples Breaths, make it seem like you don't have any Breath-
Lindel
(paraphrased)
Awaken an object so that others could access its Breaths?
Brandon Sanderson
(paraphrased)
Yes.
Skaiiwalker
(paraphrased)
Did any atium survive The Hero of Ages?
Brandon Sanderson
(paraphrased)
Yes.
Skaiiwalker
(paraphrased)
We know that Hoid has a bead of lerasium. Does he have any atium?
Brandon Sanderson
(paraphrased)
He has access to atium, yes.
Lindel
(paraphrased)
Crem and the Purelake on Roshar. Do they have any connection to Cultivation?
Brandon Sanderson
(paraphrased)
Both existed on the planet before Cultivation arrived.
Lindel
(paraphrased)
But both are influenced by her now?
Brandon Sanderson
(paraphrased)
Yes, she influences both.

Could you write a clue about Shadesmar on my shirt?
Brandon Sanderson (Written)
(paraphrased)
Shadesmar has much investiture in some places.
Skaiiwalker
Can you give me a hint about the Parshendi gods? It can't be Odium, right? Because it's plural...
Brandon Sanderson
No, it's not Odium. The Parshendi gods... *he paused here for a while* are closer to what the humans would call "Heralds".
