    Are the IRE old enough to have gone through the Reod?

    Brandon Sanderson

    They're really old. Really really really really old. *signs book* Really old.

    Footnote

    Then, as I walked passed Isaac, he said "They're like this old," said in a stereotypical old grandpa voice, then in a normal voice "It's almost midnight, that's when the voices come out." :P

    Do the Ire age because they're not on Sel?

    Brandon Sanderson

    (uncertain) Uh, they do...? They... they age, but it's not the sort of aging that you and I do.

    FeatherWriter

    Okay! Interesting...

    Interview: Apr 8th, 2016

    Is it normal for people to become connected to an area after being there for a bit, like with Kel and wherever he was when he found the Ire, or is something special going on?

    Brandon Sanderson

    It is normal for a cognitive shadow to get stuck to places, because they exist through investiture it is normal for them to get tied to an area. Kelsier was still in Scadrial when he found the Ire. This happened with Odium and the two shards on Roshar, Preservation to Ruin, and the Heralds (To Roshar? Braize?). (I think this is basically what happens with shards when they invest on a planet, so this same thing happens at smaller levels than shards.)

    Footnote

    (After about an hour and a half he started answering more questions, so I sat nearby and wrote the gist of the questions and answers he was getting. Thsi next part is going to be paraphrased, but fairly accurate. It wasn't as rapid fire as it had been, as I and other people didn't want to keep interruption him while he was playing magic.)

    Interview: Apr 23rd, 2016

    Question

    As of Secret History, are the IRE aware of Feruchemical chromium?

    Brandon Sanderson

    Not as fully aware - They don’t know everything.
    Question

    The Spiritual Feruchemical metals - are all four of those Cosmere-wide things?

    Brandon Sanderson

    The short answer is yes. The long answer is, there are certain things such as Investiture and whatnot, that when we write the books we translate different words as the same word because they’re the same meaning. So what you’re getting it is when they use the word “fortune”, do they mean exactly the Feruchemical, and the answer is no - but it is a very similar concept.

    Interview: Dec 6th, 2016

    Question

    Is the ball of Preservation energy that Kelsier used...is that Stamping, Hemalurgy, or a third kind of the same thing?

    Brandon Sanderson

    That is a different thing. You haven’t really seen that before.

    Question

    Because it has similar effects…

    Brandon Sanderson

    Yeah, you haven’t seen that before. It was designed to do what it did.

    Question

    Is it...Connection, like a Connection orb?

    Brandon Sanderson

    We’ll get into this, this is involving Silverlight stuff, so let’s RAFO it for now.
