Evershore (2021)

***Evershore*** is a *Skyward* novella by Brandon Sanderson and Janci Patterson, planned to be released on Dec 28, 2021, by Delcorte Press. The novella will focus on Jorgen, a member of Skyward flight. *Evershore* will be limited to e-book and audiobook for the time being. The audio book version of this book is part of Sanderson's Mainsframe project.

## Synopsis

*With the government of Detritus in disarray because of Superiority treachery, and with Spensa still away on her mission in the Nowhere, Jorgen must work together with the alien Alanik to pick up the pieces. They intercept a strange transmission from the planet Evershore and its Kitsen inhabitants, who say they have some of Jorgen’s people and want to return them—but can the Kitsen be trusted? And can Jorgen learn to master his increasingly erratic cytonic powers before they spiral out of control and destroy all hope of forming an alliance against the Superiority?*

Allomancer Jak and the Pits of Eltania (2014)

**Allomancer Jack and the Pits of Eltania** is a fantasy short story written by American author Brandon Sand-

   erson as part of his *Mistborn* series.  It was released in 2014.

## Summary

The story starts with Jak waking up in a cave, out of metals. He then escapes the cave by jumping into the river in the canyon below after licking a tin deposit on the wall of the cave. He is promptly recaptured by the Koloss who want to make him their leader and a Koloss. He discovers that his girlfriend Elizandra Dramali is Koloss blooded. He does not want to become a Koloss, so he says that he already is one and will prove it by getting the Survivor's treasure from the bottom of a spear-shaped pool. He dives down, finds a chest, and brings it back up. It contains a number of Koloss spikes. The Koloss are so excited to have new spikes to increase their numbers, Jak and Elizandra manage to escape, and Jak realizes that the chest itself is made of precious aluminum.

## Postscript

*"This story is inspired by an idea of Brandon's brother Jordan, who wanted to do a radio drama, scripted by Brandon. The character Jak is meant to be in contrast to the more genuine, serious character of Wax, like the Adam West Batman versus the current Batman. Unlike The Eleventh Metal, this story is meant for established readers of the* Mistborn *series, revealing how Koloss are made in the post-Catacendre era.*

-postscript from **Arcanum Unbound**

## Publishing

It was originally published with the *Alloy of Law* rule book, an extension of the Mistborn Adventure Game. It was later released in part on Sanderson's website. It was also included in *Arcanum Unbounded*.

J'OUVERT

The song also has a sample of "Doh Blame Me" by Lavaman in the chorus.

## Music video

The video is shot in a thermal camera, just like the album's cover art.

It features Roberto speaking the intro for the first time since *SATURATION III*, saying:

> Me llamo Roberto, y éstos son los sueños que no olvido.
>
>

Meaning "my name is Roberto, and these are the dreams that I don't forget."

Kelsier

**Kelsier** is a half-skaa Mistborn from Scadrial.  He is stern and intense, but always smiling; anoth

   er act of rebellion against the Lord Ruler's oppression. He hates injustice and takes this hatred to the extreme, which originally resulted in him being unable to see good in any of the nobility. This was changed by Vin who fell in love with Elend Venture. Kelsier went on to save Elend's life from an inquisitor. His late wife Mare collected pre-Ascension memorabilia, and he keeps one piece, a drawing of a flower, to inspire his crew. Kelsier is the younger brother of Marsh, who is disappointed at Kelsier's apparent lack of direction or purpose until Kelsier leads the skaa rebellion. He always keeps a smile on his face, believing that is the best way to fight.

ReDawn (2021)

ReDawn is a *Skyward* Novella by American author Brandon Sanderson, co-written with Janci Patterson staring Alanik. It was released on Oct 26, 2021 by Delcorte Press. It is only available on e-book and audio-book for the time being, but is planned for print in 2022. The audio version of ReDawn is part of Sanderson's Mainframe project.

## Synopsis

*“Don’t trust their lies. Don’t trust their false peace.” That is the warning that Alanik of the planet ReDawn gave the human pilot Spensa after Alanik’s ship crash-landed on Detritus. While accepting an invitation to meet with her people’s enemy, the Galactic Superiority, Alanik heard Spensa’s cry for help across the vastness of space, and she used her cytonic powers to hyperjump her ship to the source of that cry. What she found there was a shock—a whole planet of free humans fighting against the Superiority. Were they the allies her people desperately needed?*

*When she recovered from her injuries and met the friendly humans Jorgen and FM of Skyward Flight, she found that her warning to Spensa had gone unheeded by the government of Detritus, and they were considering a peace overture from the Superiority. Now having returned to ReDawn, Alanik is dismayed to learn that her own people are falling into the exact same trap.*

*The faction in ReDawn’s government that wants to appease the Superiority has gained the upper hand. With Alanik’s mentor, Renakin captured, she has no one to turn to but Jorgen, FM, and their friend Rig. An ancient technology may have the power to save both of their planets from disaster, but can they discover its secrets before it’s too late?*
Legion: Lies of the Beholder (2018)

**Legion:  Lies of the Beholder** is a 2018 science fiction novel written by Brandon Sanderson, as the third and final part of his Legion trilogy.

## Background

Sanderson wrote the first story on the flight home from France in the summer of 2011. It "came from an idea I'd been kicking around in my head for a few months, and the time seemed right to explore it on paper. When finished, I sent it out to my agent - and we had a Hollywood option by the end of the year.

## Plot

Stephen Leeds, or 'Legion', has his final adventure. Two unrelated events start it off: the disappearance of one of Stephen's many "aspects", Armando, and an unexpected cry for help from Sandra, the woman who helped him learn to live with his condition many years before. The combination of the two leads to a sinister high-tech firm specializing in advanced methods of human incarceration.

## Reception

*Legion* has been well received by reviewers, one commenting: "This is the first time I wish a Brandon Sanderson story was longer than it ended up being. Maybe we'll get to read more about Stephen "Legion" Leeds in future stories or novels, if Sanderson finds the time between all his other projects. Leeds is definitely a character with enough depth to lead an entire novel, or even a series. Based on this short teaser novella and Sanderson's writing talent, *Legion* could be the starting point for a great contemporary fantasy/crime hybrid".

## Television Rights

In 2013, Sanderson posted on his blog that Lionsgate has the rights for a Legion television show under option, and later said the TV rights were purchased by Lionsgate sometime in 2012.  In 2016, Sanderson posted on Reddit that interest for making a series had dwindled after a show with the same name featuring a similar character from Marvel Comics' X-Men universe was announced.

Atium

**Atium** is a metal that has the allomantic effect to see into another person's future. Atium is the metallic form of the god Ruin, and is considered one of the two God metals, the other being Lerasium. Atium was originally thought to be the final, tenth metal and then it was later believed to be but one of the sixteen metals but both of these ideas were eventually disproved.
Aluminum

**Aluminum** is an internal enhancement metal that, when burned, clears out all the metals inside the allomancer, including itself. It was revealed during Vin's imprisonment in Kredik Shaw by the Inquisitors questioning her.

It is paired with it's alloy, duralumin, which burns all of the active metals in an intense flash. Aluminium is not affected by steelpushes or ironpulls. An easy way to use this to your advantage would be to use aluminium jewelry, and to make weapons and bullets out of aluminium. A Misting that burns Aluminum is known as an Aluminum Gnat, due to the uselessness of the power on its own.
Slowthai

OreSeur

**OreSeur** is a kandra from Scadrial.

His contract is with Kelsier at first. He mainly imitates Lord Renoux and keeps an eye on Vin while she acts as Valette Renoux. Upon Kelsier's death, his contract is passed to Vin, who distrusts him because he ingested Kelsier's body in order to imitate it and address the skaa warriors in accordance with his contract. Vin is disgusted by the idea of a kandra eating another human, and tells OreSeur to ingest the bones of a wolfhound instead. Mid-transformation he is killed, replaced and has his kandra Blessing stolen by TenSoon.

His contract was assigned to Kelsier by KanPaar even though it would be to act against the Lord Ruler due to the high price Kelsier was willing to pay for it.

Like TenSoon, he was of the third generation of Kandra and thus over 700 years old.
Cognitive Shadow

A **Cognitive Shadow** is the continuance of a person to act even after it has died; a spirit that has not yet moved on.  It is a force of mind, holding one's spirit together, preventing it from diffusing.

 –Brandon Sanderson

Khriss declines to comment on whether the nature of a Cognitive Shadow is actually the soul of a person who died; she believes this to be a question for a theologian or philosopher.

She does, however, explain what is happening magically:

On Threnody, the people think of these entities as ghosts, though really they are instantiations of self-aware (though, barely) Investiture.
Investiture

**Investiture** is the word for someone who, or something which, has gained a portion of the magic of Adonalsium.  It is a cosmere term, describing one of the core principles common to magic systems across the cosmere, whereby through some mechanism, people or objects can become Invested with various magical powers.

On Roshar, the Investing of an object is done by infusing it with Stormlight. Shardblades and Shardplate are Invested objects. That which is specific to Roshar is that Investiture manifest in the Physical Realm.

This has to do with the nature of the magic systems in the cosmere. They interfere with one another (i.e., Investiture resists Investiture).  Something that contains a lot of power resists the efforts of magic to influence it. A strong spirit can interfere as well.  The more Investiture something has the more difficult it is to affect.

This is the reason why Shardblades don't just slice through each other and why people wearing Shardplate are difficult to affect with Lashings.

Investiture left alone, especially in bigger amounts, will either look for some holder, or develop sentience on its own. The developing sentience might not be an easy or fast process, yet matter in the outer cosmere developed sentience too. Gaining sentience or sapience by Investiture is a cosmere-wide thing, and it started happening on its own on Sel, for example.
Crumble

**Crumble** is the tenth track from the 2019 Kevin Abstract album *ARIZONA BABY*. It features vocals from Dominic Fike and Jack Antonoff, as well as background vocals from Ryan Beatty.

## Song

Mistborn: The Lost Metal

**The Lost Metal** is the tentative title for the fourth and final book set in Mistborn Era 2.

## Possible Information

The Lost Metal may refer to atium or lerasium, possibly even harmonium (ettmetal) or trellium.

When Kelsier destroyed the Pits of Hathsin, it was stated that the atium geodes would grow back in 300 years time, which may further contribute to atium being the lost metal. Additionally, while at a party Waxillium Ladrian sees each metal in a glass case with a plaque labeling them. Atium's case is empty with the plaque saying "Atium, the Lost Metal."

Ettmetal powers many southern Scadrian technologies and has much potential to be discovered in this area. But it only appeared after the Catacendre and is not known to the northern Scadrial until the events of the Bands of Mourning. This means it is probably not "lost" but "new".

Trellium is the metal that created Paalm's or Chimeras' single spike. Miles' last words also mentions the "bearer of final metal" and that he worships Trell. But since Harmony doesn't know it, it may not be a "lost" metal but a "new" metal.

## Behind the Scenes

Following completion of The Alloy of Law Brandon plotted out three more books, following the same characters, to finish the story. The last of these is The Lost Metal.

It is estimated to be released in 2021, having been delayed from its original planned release due to the Skyward series.

White Sand Volume 3 (2019)

**White Sand Volume 3** is the third and final graphic novel of the ser

   ies White Sand. White Sand is set on the Dayside of the Shardworld Taldain. It is an adaptation of one of the novels Brandon wrote prior to being published. The script was adapted from prose form to graphic novel form by Rik Hoskin. After the artist change at the end of volume 2, Fritz Casas was selected as the artist for volume 3.  Coloring was done by Salvatore Aiala Studios, lettering was done by DC Hopkins, and editing was done by Joseph Rybandt.
Zinc

**Zinc** is one of the eight basic metals. Its alloy is brass.

## Zinc in Allomancy

In allomancy, zinc gives the ability to intensify the emotions of others, an ability called "rioting". It is the external mental pulling metal; its complement is brass, the external mental pushing metal.  A Misting who can use only zinc is called a Rioter.

When burning zinc, an allomancer can target the emotions of a group of people or focus on only one. They choose one emotion or a group of emotions and riot those emotions. The net effect is the same as soothing the opposite emotion.

Like Soothers, Rioters are often mistrusted by those who know about their power. However, neither Rioters nor Soothers can force anyone to do anything or control their mind.

## Zinc in Feruchemy

In feruchemy, zinc can be used to store mental acuity. The feruchemist can chose to spend time pouring mental clarity and speed of thought into a zinc metal mind. In exchange, the metal mind can be tapped later to gain increased mental power.

Sazed spent the last days of the Siege of Luthadel storing up attributes in a variety of metal minds, in preparation for the upcoming battle. As a result, he had to concentrate very hard to perform even the simplest of tasks, such as eating. Carrying on a conversation was slow and cumbersome, since he had a very hard time following a train of thought. It is not clear if storing mental acuity is always this difficult, or if Sazed was storing up the attribute especially quickly because of the extreme circumstances.

## Zinc in Hemalurgy

Zinc grants a hemalurgist emotional fortitude.
Copper

**Copper** is an elemental Allomantic metal that allows one to hide Allomancy. A misting or mistborn burning copper generates a 'coppercloud' which hides Allomancy from being detected by Bronze. The Allomancer also becomes immune to emotional Allomancy, though this effect is not felt by those around them.

Copperclouds are generally not piercible but those with exceptional strength may do so. A Duralumin pushed Bronze, a bronze Hemalurgic spike, or being more powerful to a large degree (such as being a Mistborn granted the power by Lerasium compared to a Seeker with diluted blood lines).

A Copper Misting is called a Smoker.

Known Smokers (excluding Mistborns): Clubs (perishes during the 2nd book).

In Feruchemy it is used to store memories. By forgetting things and transferring them to the Metalmind, a Feruchemist can recall these memories at a later date exactly as they were originally seen. Memories 'tapped' from a coppermind degrade whilst in the mind, and must only be used for short amounts of time to reduce the risk of corruption. It is known that metaphysical beings, such as Ruin, can affect the contents of a coppermind.

A Copper Ferring is called an Archivest.
Electrum

**Electrum** is an alloy of Gold and Silver . It is an internal metal that, when burned, will show the burner his/her future, which can be used to counteract the effects of an enemy Allomancer with atium. The first appearance of electrum was in book 3, in which Vin burned it when fighting a Steel Inquisitor.
Lord Renoux

**Lord Teven Renoux** is a noble from the Final Empire.

He is replaced by the Kandra OreSeur at Kelsier's orders.  OreSeur appears as thin and aging but dignified, with a sparse gray mustache, wearing a rich suit and aristocratic spectacles, and not requiring a cane.

He is a prominent noble from the Farmost Dominance, but sets himself up in Fellise under the guise of elevating his families status. He plans to construct a prominent trade route for weapons made in the south to be sold in the north.
Harmony

**Harmony** is the name taken by Sazed after the Final Ascension and his acquisit

   ion of the Shards Ruin and Preservation. With the opposing forces of Preservation and Ruin both invested within him, balance and Harmony is achieved. It is unknown whether he took the name Harmony himself, or if it was later attributed to him by the followers of the Path. Three hundred years post-Catacendre the name is in widespread use by the inhabitants of the Elendel Basin and the surrounding Roughs.
