Cradle map as some point? I love having visual maps to help localise where everything is in relation to each other.
Will Wight
I might be persuaded to do it someday, but I don’t like maps and I don’t like making maps. I have a map for my own reference.
I would give everyone in this channel $100 and a crystallized drop of my blood if I released a map and didn’t get a slew of complaints like “But this region seems like it should be farther away,” and “There’s no way the weather would be like this there,” “Those don’t look like natural rivers,” “Why don’t the roads have a more logical layout,” and so on and so forth. Drives me crazy, and I don’t want to deal with it, so no maps.

You could publish the map as drawn by some character who is explicitly mentioned as really bad at maps and without any sense of direction.
Will Wight
I tried something like that with Traveler’s Gate, and still got a ton of the very nitpicking I was trying to avoid.
So NO MAPS! I’m hearing that in the voice of Edna from the Incredibles. “No capes!”

Hey Will, have the additional region releases helped the book numbers significantly?
Will Wight
No, the regions have not helped the book numbers significantly. 90% or more of my sales come from Amazon.com.
I was never concerned that the absence of the UK and the other regions would jeopardize my bottom line, but I still want fans in those regions to have a better experience at launch.

When you wrote that he resides in Lindons core, is he actually in the pure core, or the area where lindons two cores are
Will Wight
Dross was inside the core. Chillin’ like a villain.
Dj Ducky
Uru the Mighty Guy what is personally your favorite art so far
Will Wight
My favorite art is the Sea cover for Of Sea and Shadow.
The Last Reader
So is Dross basically a remnant that has a path and core now or something else
Will Wight
Dross is similar to a Remnant, yes.
Your Benevolent Dictator
Why did you choose the name Uru
Will Wight
Uru has been one of the names I’ve used since high school; I thought it was cool that it was short, spelled the same forwards and backwards, and made up of two letters that are also words.
Originally, I used the name for a character in a short story I half-finished. He was a wizard that acted as an intermediary for a pantheon of warring gods that couldn’t move against each other directly. He would hire him out to the god that would reward him with the most powerful artifact.

Is Dross's "physical" form just an illusion of dream madra or can it interact with other objects like dream tablets? And if it can interact with other physical things, can other people somehow capture him if he strays too far from Lindon?
Will Wight
Dross’ physical form is now a projection that can’t move far from Lindon. He can interact with small or light physical objects, but if he were to be captured and taken away, he would dissolve and be reborn from the seed inside Lindon. Although it might hurt him, he couldn’t be stolen.

Do Sages ever become Heralds?
Will Wight
Yes, however... [meta answer warning] ...I might change my mind on that.

Did Yerin get another sword arm when she advanced? I didn't see any explicit mention of it one way or another.
Will Wight
No.

What is the history of the Broken Star path (its techniques and their function, madra composition, formation of the Jai clan, etc)
Will Wight
I'm not going to answer that here, mainly because it would be too much effort right now, and I need some time off. But there's been enough interest in the Broken Star that I'll probably do a proper exploration of the Path at some point.
Terrible
How would someone go about healing Ziel, Lord of Depression? Would they have to get rid of all the toxic aura in his body first?
Will Wight
Can't comment on that
Decadakon
Did dross just make more ghostwater in the end by mixing all three vials together and ghostwater or was that supposed to be a different substance all together?
Will Wight
That process in the end is just how you make more ghostwater.
Tievel
Will, why do none of your books
still not have the number nineteen in them? I'm beginning to think Hjorth may be onto something...
Will Wight
Question not the greatest number, the holy number, the number before which all lesser digits must bow.
Your Benevolent Dictator
And could a pocket world like Ghostwater be used like a territory in TG
Will Wight
Why yes, yes it could.
Your Benevolent Dictator
What was your favorite reference in Ghostwater?
Will Wight
I don't know, that's a good question. Frankly, I'm not sure how many of them I can admit to.
Lil' Blue
Will, did you use the "should have gone for the head line" and then portalling away from IW?
Will Wight
I probably will use that someday.
Lil' Blue
but you did xD she teleports away right after this too!
Will Wight
Oh dang, that was unintentional.
Curses! Missed opportunity.
Decadakon
Did you watch deadpool 2 yet?
Will Wight
I did. It was okay.
Decadakon
Did you review Infinity war? if not how did you like it?
Will Wight
I haven't reviewed it yet, but I did like it.
I intended to review it, but the book launch made that timing awkward.
FifthDreadgodLindiego
If Orthos was a Pokémon what type(s)would he be???
Will Wight
Fire / Dragon, hands down.
Arch
In how much detail have you outlined the future of the cradle series, and possibly travellers gate series if that is to continue?
Will Wight
I've outlined a lot of the key events and players in Cradle, but idk when or how I'm going to get to them. Traveler's Blade I just have a bunch of ideas, very little of which I would call an outline.
