Hey Will, we were wondering how would Lindon's Iron body stack against Bai Rou's madra? and can you tell how a Highgold Lindon (how he will be in the future when he reaches that stage) would fare against him?
Will Wight
Lindon's Iron body would help against Bai Rou, but not entirely, because Bai Rou's madra has a dream component that would attack the mind. It would be difficult for Lindon to defend himself, so he would have to rely on overwhelming attack. Which would be possible, thanks to Blackflame, which Bai Rou can't do very much about. Except that Bai Rou is a Truegold in Skysworn armor, so he would be able to defend himself, counter, and beat Lindon with his counterattack. As for how Lindon will fare at higher advancement, you'll just have to wait for Ghostwater, won't you?

how many references are in cradle
Will Wight
I have no way to answer that
Your Benevolent Dictator

lil blue
Will Wight
Little Blue is absolutely a TFS reference
Can confirm
Your Benevolent Dictator
HUSH LITTLE GREEN
Your Benevolent Dictator
NAAAAAIIIILLLL
Your Benevolent Dictator
lol
I DRAAAAAAAANK IT
Will Wight
There are a bunch of references, but I tend to toss them in as I think of them, so idk how many.
They're mostly just jokes for me.
Your Benevolent Dictator
you should throw in something about a family of racoons
Will Wight
I'd like to, but I'm not sure raccoons are native to the area they're in
Your Benevolent Dictator
have a forigner say something
Will Wight
That's true, Eithan could say something
Your Benevolent Dictator
ohh
true
Eithan is the most badass janitor of all time
Will Wight
He would certainly say so

Wow. Why is it that Elder Empire gets amazing art like this, yet Cradle just gets some scribbles for the covers?
Also I should probably just bite the bullet and read Elder Empire. I haven't yet because the "simultaneous stories" hook really doesn't excite me, but with art like this how could I not enjoy it?
Will Wight
"Some scribbles" = I'll kill you. I like that art.
But the reason why Elder Empire gets full paintings while Cradle covers are done in photoshop is because there are way more Cradle books and they come out more frequently. There's no delaying a Cradle book to wait on the cover art, and there never will be!

Who was the most powerful ant and what was his Path?
Will Wight
It’s a good question, but unfortunately this is another one of those I can’t answer right now. I don’t have that planned out, so I’d have to make up the answer, and I don’t have the energy at the moment. Rain check. This is why I occasionally do “ask me world-building question” events: so I can give each of these creative questions the time and energy they deserve for a fun answer. Sadly, I only have time for a boring answer right now. Sorry!
STINK
What's the coolest Valinhall power you didn't get to show in the trilogy?
Will Wight
That’s too hard a question to answer, sorry. I either have to scour my notes or make up an answer, and I don’t have the time for either at the moment.

Hmm this is probably RAFO (Read and find out) territory , but it's said that insight is required to take truegold to underlord, is the tempering of body in soulfire affected by insight? as in do underlord bodies have changes to better accomodate their path or is it like iron irrespective of their path?
Will Wight
You are correct, RAFO.
TransEmo
which of your series are you most proud of? for whatever reasons
Will Wight
Elder Empire. I put more work into it, and there were some very difficult things (for me) that I tried and worked out.
Lil' Blue
I've always imagine Suriels Presence sounding like Legion from Mass Effect, and now that we know a bit more about them, is that not too far off the mark?
Will Wight
Sure, why not?
The Last Reader
So from Under to Overlord is it a quality of soulfire thing or quantity of soulfire?
Will Wight
Read and find out!
SparkVGX
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.
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.
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.
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.

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.
AntiSqueaker
If Lindon had a magic encyclopedia with every single Path/Territory/Awakened Weapon/miscellaneous magic powers throughout all the Iterations, which one would most interest him?
Will Wight
I don't have the mental energy to answer that right now, unfortunately, because it's an interesting question. I'm releasing a book, so my MP is 0.
Tievel
This would be a longer one, but any chance we could (someday) get a primer on how and why "internal" vital aura aspects operate differently than others? Such as blood and dream aura, which non-blood/dream madra shouldn't be able to affect, but the spirit somehow defends against Ruler techniques of them since Blood artists can't go around giving Lords heart attacks willy nilly.
Will Wight
Maybe someday?
Your Benevolent Dictator
Will you ever release official art of the Cradle characters?
Will Wight
Probably, yes.

Question for Will: Could an advance sacred artist control how his remnant will act after his death to some degree?
Will Wight
Yes, but only if they invest heavily enough in garlicoin.
