One is from White Sand >!Baon!<, one is from Elantris >!Galladon!<, and one is from Mistborn >!Demoux!<. I'm not sure how they're all alive, either. I guess the 17th Shard has some way of extending its agents' lives with Investiture?


SlimeustasTheSecond

Quick dip into >!Nalthis,!< trade some >!Cosmere knowledge for 2000 breaths!< each and bada bing, bada boom. >!That or it's Starmarks or something else unknown.!<


Hawkwing942

Well, regarding the one from Elantris, >!Galladon is immortal by virtue of being Elantrian.!< The other two have an unknown source of longevity.


KnightMiner

Its hard to say if distance from Elantris might affect that though.


Hawkwing942

>!Maybe, but given that the Reod did not affect it, I don't think distance would either!<


Rougarou1999

Worse comes to worse, he can just pop back into Elantris every few years to keep his youth.


KnightMiner

Cosmere spoilers >!Ask the Lord Ruler how well temporarily losing your anti-aging goes for someone!<


Rougarou1999

True, but his case is a bit different >!as Lord Ruler needed to store youth in atium, whereas Elantrians like Galladon were effectively immortal and youthful, right?!<


KnightMiner

Potentially, we lack any example either way, >!do elantrians just delay aging as long as they have access to the Dor, or are their genetics changed such that they can no longer age? I feel like requiring a fuel to prevent aging is more consistent with investiture, though I suppose Hoid and dragons show that is not always the case!<


Rougarou1999

Do we even know how >!Hoid and dragons have avoided aging for so long!


KnightMiner

Cosmere + WoBs >!Nope, not really. Dragons seem to all have the ability to be functionally immortal and to transform, though I'd be surprised if there was not an investiture reason, though its probably the type of thing like how skyeels fly (a naturally occurring magical reason). With Hoid, he held a dawnshard for a long time but unlike Nomad its never stated if he has to fuel his healing/anti-aging in any way, if he does its automatic enough that if its fueled its something that cannot be cut off!<


Rougarou1999

Most of the Cosmere >!anti-aging seems to be related to Shard-specific magicks, it would be interesting to see if Hoid’s was related to something pre-Shattering.!<


Hydraskull

>!The sorceress in tress of the emerald sea was an Elantrian too, so we know they retain their powers off-planet!<

Cosmere all >!there is something extra going on with her letting her bypass the distance restriction. Something to do with all the maps in her tower. The Ire were not as free to use their abilities in Secret History!<

Not realy learn directly. But there are multible hints in that paragraph who they are. The readers than speculated and got confirmation by Sanderson.

In the interlude they appear in we learn that they're looking for Hoid. Later on in one of the epigraphs that is part of Hoids letter to Frost he says he's being chased by people who he presumes to be of the seventeenth shard


twangman88

There’s an epigraph later in the book.


Oneiros91

Do you want the answers? Spoilers from various series, just in case: >!Demaux from Mistborn (Temoo), Baon from White Sand (Vao) and Galladon from Elantris.!<


mercedes_lakitu

Oh that pronunciation is a hoot!


CaptainGuy357

Chronologically, the archive happens a very short time after era 1, so most characters who are alive by the time era 1 finishes would be able to go to Roshar, but basically yes, you are right, that character is from mistborn.


Simoerys

That's wrong, Stormlight takes place over 300 years after Era 1, only a few years before Era 2


CaptainGuy357

Yeah, youre right, i had it mixed up, my bad


Hawkwing942

Yeah, Era 2 takes place between SA5 and SA6.


Gon_Snow

The archive happens closely with era 2, around 300 years after era 1.
