Question
Do you have any ideas for characters in different stories meeting each other?Brandon Sanderson
Yes I do. You’ll see a bunch of that. And if you haven’t seen the little behind-the-scenes Mistborn novella, Secret History, which is ebook only right now. The print edition will come out in the fall. That involves characters from different stories meeting each other.Tags

Question
Did you worry with Secret History that it was a bit too meta for people who had no idea…Brandon Sanderson
No, that’s why all the warnings are there. It’s kind of intended for the people--Question
Yeah, fair enough.Brandon Sanderson
--who want something, does that make sense? Like it isn’t really-- it is a story, but it's not a real story, it’s got weird narrative and things to it. It is there for those who really want to know.Question
And I’m one of those people, I just have to wonder if you had no idea you’d be really confused through at least the first half.Brandon Sanderson
Yes you would. But that’s why all the warnings are there.Tags

Question
The worldjumpers in [Secret History] are they ones that have shown up in other books? And we just don’t know their--Brandon Sanderson
Yes.Question
--names.Brandon Sanderson
Yeah, they’re only tangential in the other books. I think one of them has only shown up on screen once. The other one’s shown up a couple of times but mostly in certain annotations and things like that. In the books, like on the maps.Tags

Question
In SH, we see an Aon written in the steel alphabet, have we seen anything similar?Brandon Sanderson
I don’t think we’ve shown you any, that doesn’t mean they don’t exist. For instance the Aon on the wall in Emperor’s Soul would probably not look exactly like an Aon, because it’s different culture.Question
Similar to the Dakhor monks use different...Brandon Sanderson
No, more like, if you started writing in Chinese characters, and they became popular here in America, they’d change so they don’t actually look like their origin. But I don’t think I’ve ever DRAWN one out like that, but there are references to other cultures across the cosmere.Tags

Interview: Apr 8th, 2016
Question
So we know how people can enter Shadesmar, or the cognitive realm, how do other places, like, we haven't seen anything for the Mistborn series. Do we know how they can enter?Brandon Sanderson
Read Secret History.Question
I did read that, but it didn't really say anything besides that one special case.Brandon Sanderson
Right, Hoid talks about Perpendicularities on Scadrial, if you go look at that there are certain places he talks about that. ,eyes just say that large concentrations of investiture can cause a puncture through the spiritual realm straight to the physical realm. If you know how to use it, you may transition. That's not the only way but is the primary way.Question
And of of Course you can soulcast (Elsecall?) to get there.Brandon Sanderson
Yes.Question
Now that's a very interesting analogy you just made, you said "punctured" almost as if it were a spike.Brandon Sanderson
Yes, yes, that was intentional. Anyone who wants to ask questions after the Magic draft, you guys can come back in maybe 45 minutes. I'll just be hanging out and playing magic. If you’re just here to hang out and ask question, I'll be free to do that in about 45 minutes to an hour.Tags
