Hmmm...
ReplyDeleteIf I could pick any world it would have to be Shadesmar (that is if you consider Shadesmar it's own world considering it's kind of a world within multiple rules, at least we so believe.) That way I could travel between any of the worlds he has created. I know this is based off of a lot of assumptions on how the magic system works but meh.
If you can't count Shadesmar it would have to be Yolen (Dragonsteel and Liar) because that's where we can hope to get more information on Hoid. :D
I'd have to go with Inner Libraria. For one, I wouldn't really have to move at all, thus negating a lot of moving heavy items. And second, the thought of meeting an Evil Librarian at the Public Library just seems awesome.
ReplyDeleteI would love to go to Roshar. It would be great exploring all the different types of landscapes and whatnot. The highstorms would suck, but kinda cool, at least at first.

ReplyDeleteHi! I hope all goes well with the moving!
ReplyDeleteI would choose Elantris to live in, simply because it's a world where you get a piece of heaven in your everyday life, you feel there is a bit of God living next to you and you can just go and ask for help - so much needed in our days.
All the best, Emilia.
Scadrial for me. I would love to meet Vin and Sazed in person. Kelsier too. Being a Mistborn would be an added bonus.
ReplyDeleteI'd move to the shining city of Elantris (post-restoration of course.) Since there hasn't been a sequel, obviously everyone there is living happily ever after.

The question has two competing answers, which depend on a critical assumption.
ReplyDeleteIf the move brings the inherent ability to use the magic of the world, it's the Mistborn world - I love the sneaky/acrobatic abilities of a Mistborn.
If the move doesn't bring an inherent ability to use the world's magic, than it would have to be Hallandren - a beautiful place which still holds the possibility of gaining the ability to awaken.
At this point, the world of the Stormlight Archive could be a fascinating place to visit, but it seems a bit violent for my taste in permanent residence (though, that may be because TWoK's focus on the Shattered Plains) and I'd probably qualify as a Darkeyes, which would be unfortunate.
I would move to the mistborn world so that I might have a chance at allomancy.
ReplyDeleteI'd want to live on Scadriel if I could have Allomancy! That'd be pretty fun. Otherwise, Inner Libraria.
ReplyDeleteRoshar because certain parts of that world sound absolutely beautiful! I would also love to get a chance to encounter some amazing spren!
ReplyDeleteIf living in Elantris means I get to be a god, then I'm up for that!
ReplyDeleteOtherwise, I would love to see Roshar (even as a Darkeyes).
I would go live in the Peaks, so I'm not an airsick lowlander!, and I would also have a pet honorspren... :)
ReplyDeleteI would go to Shadesmar; I'm really curious about it because we only got a glimpse in The Way of Kings, yet it got its own map on the inside of the cover so it must be cool. Also, it has a cool name. And I could hang out with my favorite character, Shallan.
ReplyDeleteNalthis. Because as an artist, of course I want to go to the world where art and magic are closely linked. ;) Plus, anyone can learn to use BioChroma, so I wouldn't be kept out of the club by being born elsewhere without some magical gene of super power having.
ReplyDeleteI don't have to move anywhere. I'm a librarian, and I'm all powerful. :-)
ReplyDeleteI would defiantly go to Roshar, even though it appears that in the near future the world will be in utter chaos. If I couldn't win a Shardblade (and w/o dying)I would make my way to the Purelake and live it up with Ishikk.
ReplyDeleteI would live on Roshar. The Purelake sounds like a wonderful place to live. The people's customs and habits would provide an amazing anthropological environment to study while enjoying myself at the same time.
ReplyDeleteI would definitely have to visit all worlds before deciding on one to live in. I'm not sure I could choose without first hand knowledge. I would start off by visiting Elantris though =).
ReplyDeleteWell, lets look at our options, shall we?
ReplyDeleteSel: Elantrians have become zombies, the economy is falling apart, and invasion by Wyrn is imminent. So, no.
Scadrial: Ash falling from the sky, lorded over by an immortal tyrant. Are you kidding?
Roshar: HIGHSTORMS.
Nalthis: Tropical paradise, highly wealthy civilization, slightly imbalanced but overall benevolent Returned rulers. Yeah, I think I'll go with this one. Though the lack of indoor plumbing is...disturbing.
Nalthis or Scadriel post-HoA because those are the two worlds that don't have hostile Shards or minions thereof running around.
ReplyDeleteRoshar is tempting cause of the cool wildlife, but I have dark brown eyes, so I'd be a second class citizen at best throughout a large part of the world. And probably end up dead for telling a pompous aristocrat where he could shove it. Also homicidal maniac Shard.
Roshar for sure, I would just follow Kaladin around because he's "Storm Blessed" lol
ReplyDeleteI kinda would like to move to Mochea it would be cool to see all those flowers, but then again i would probably get sick of the smell. Flowers are pretty and all but they do smell weird. So maybe the pure lake, I don't think water smells weird.
ReplyDeleteI would love to live in Elantris. Who wouldn't want to have silvery hair and act like a god?
ReplyDeleteYolen. I don't want to go into why I want to live there too much, spoilers and such, but lets just say I'd give Hoid a piece of my mind.
ReplyDeleteI would choose Alethkar because then I could serve under Dalinar, one of my all time favorite characters. I wouldn't mind being a scribe there.
ReplyDeleteI'd move to Roshar and beg Kaladin to let me become his secret apprentice.
ReplyDeleteI would have to choose Roshar.
ReplyDeleteWhile living in Scadrial would be interesting, the possibility of benefitting from being a Misting or Mistborn depends highly on luck and heritage, and considering my luck is poor I would simply be there as a witness.
Living in Arelon would give me an opportunity to become an Elantrian, but once again mainly dependent on luck unless I knew of other ways to harness the dor.
In Roshar anyone can rise to standing given the oppurtunity. Indeed surviving the Highstorms probably wouldn't be fun, but being able to participate in the actions of the world, even without being explicitly gifted, or noble birth, would be incredible.
Though most are tempting, I think I'd logically like to live in the Warebreaker world. The worlds of Elantris, Mistborn, and Stormlight are a bit too violent and intimidating to me - read: I don't want to die right off the bat. In the world of Warbreaker, even a couple extra Breadths could enhance my everyday enjoyment of the world - that extra bump in sensory enhancement would be pretty sweet.
ReplyDeleteI'd have to go with Roshar. Reasoning? I have blue eyes and would therefore live a life of luxury and ease.
ReplyDeleteI would move to Roshar so that I could grow out my eyebrows. SO COOL!
ReplyDeletePart of me wants to say Scadrial, because Allomancy intrigues me so very much. I wouldn't even need to be a Mistborn--I'd happily just be friends with anyone who could do anything so I could study it.
ReplyDeleteAnd I would love to live in Roshar because their history is so rich I'd die a happy woman to research all the live long days with Jasnah...
But I think I'd enjoy Hallendren the most because it sounds so bloody pretty. Plus the chance to come back as a God (er I mean Returned...) has a certain appeal. Cause well I could get even more studying done...(do you see a trend here?).
Lexie
I would love to be a Mistborn and burn Atium. This is my world of choice.
ReplyDeleteI would choose Roshar, because to the best of my knowledge I do not possess any sort of magic. In Roshar, I can join an army and if I'm lucky I could get a shardblade.
ReplyDeleteI would totally live in Inner Libraria. Because I love me some technology (regardless of Bastille always saying our technology is primitive). Plus none of the other worlds have flush toilets and a world's bathroom/sewer system is how I judge if I want to live there. :)
ReplyDeleteI would totally choose Randland. Granted it's not his universe per se, but he is still writing in it, and it is a good part his to finish.
ReplyDeleteBarring that, the world of Elantris would be kickass, too. I want a seon !
I would totally live in the Free Kingdoms. I'd get to be as eccentric as I want, a decent chance at being able to use Occulatory lenses in my glasses, and getting to wear tunics all the time.
ReplyDeleteOh, and did I mention being able to fly in GIANT GLASS DRAGONS?
I would like to move to in the world of Mistborn whether I got Allomancy or not. I love the grim nature of the world and the challenge to make it better.
ReplyDeleteRoshar, most definitely. The world is insanely diverse and amazing. :D
ReplyDeleteScadrial, easy! I'll take it one step further and assume I'm a Mistborn as well!
ReplyDeleteRoshar - where blue eyes rule!
ReplyDelete(Plus...there are a larger number of very different countries/regions.)
Well I will pick Roshar, but in the unknown west were the storms are less high.
ReplyDeleteIf I were likely to become a "main character" I would choose Scadrial, because then I could fly.
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately, I'm not really likely to end up a viewpoint character, so I'll have to choose Opelon. I would travel the world, studying languages, Aons, and how to use Aon-type glyphs to channel the Dor in non-Aonic countries.
Roshar would be the most awesome, and a world the most different from our own. But I think I'd choose the world of Elantris, simply because the magic is something that can be studied, and skill is determined by how well one does it. I feel like once the magical system was restored that this would be a pretty awesome place to live.
ReplyDeleteScadrial would be awesome if I could do allomancy, but then again, I have blue eyes, so I would probably go with Roshar!
ReplyDeleteI would live in Alloy of Law-era Scadrial. The best of both worlds -- indoor plumbing AND magic.
ReplyDeleteFor my internal debate I assumed that I would also receive the full magical potential that came with the move. So that lead me to wonder...
ReplyDeleteCould a full Mistborn defeat a warrior with both Shardplate and Shardblade? That would be one epic dual!
And which opponent would I prefer to be...
My initial thought is that I would love to wield a Shardblade, but the truth is I don't know how to defeat an Allomancer with Atium!?
However, I keep thinking back to Roshar and its Shardblade-wielding fighters. Personally, I think I would prefer to charge into battle like a tank at the head of my army, than to use the more stealthy approach employed by Allomancy.
To be honest, I didn't give much attention to the name of the Warbreaker world, but as it was my intro to Sanderson's writing, I have to say it was pretty sweet. Plus, the magic there is probably one of the most unique I'd ever read and it was accessible to everyone, so hey, peace...equality-ish...sacrificial flawed beings...what's not to love?
ReplyDeleteDefinitely Scadrial, before the events of The Final Empire. It remains one of the most interesting settings I have ever come across in a fantasy world and I think it would be incredible to see the ash falling from the sky, brown plants etc. Hell of a trip.
ReplyDeletePS. Sorry to post again, but looks like my identity isn't clear in the above post (April 20, 2011 10:43 PM).
ReplyDeleteSince alloy of law isn't out yet, I can't know that much about it yet, but that era of Scadrial does sound like an awesome place to see. Wild west, allomantic steampunkiness can only be amazing. And who knows, maybe Vin is still around...
ReplyDeletePresuming I could also pick to be a Misborn, I'd live in Scadrieal.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I've got to go with Purelake. How could I resist a place that is described as "life itself"?
ReplyDeleteI'd want to live in Roshar, especially at the Purelake. It fascinates me and seems to be the most calm, relaxing, happy place a person could live.
ReplyDeleteMy second choice would be Hallandren.
Take me to the world of Scadrial. I would love to live in the world where I could see heroes like Vin, Elend, and Sazed truly change things for the better. A world where people sacrifice for each other. It would be nice to be one of those that could help through Mistborn powers too.
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't want to be a librarian but I'd love to see their maps of the world to see all of the countries we're missing. My kids are big fans of Kaladin and would be proud to be members of his crew.
ReplyDeletejenjen@byu.edu
Stormlight Archive has the most interesting world so far, but I think Warbreaker's world would be a more enjoyable place to live.

ReplyDeleteI would love to move to the world of warbreaker.. I love colors and its the most colorful, fun and vibrant book from Brandon..
ReplyDeleteI would love to be an artist well versed with the artisan's script and paint using different colors with different sounds to make my paintings literally /Sing/ :)
Thank you so much for this chance..
Regards,
Kalyani
P.S. I removed my earlier comment 'coz I did not include my email in that.. its kannu78@gmail.com
Scadrial - the characters there just fascinate me.
ReplyDeleteaddy_okc@yahoo.com
I would love to be in Roshar, just because of the huge scope of the world.
ReplyDeleteI'd have to say I'd move to Roshar, I find it to be the most intriguing at this point.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely Nalthis where colors and sounds can be enhanced and appreciated even more. also i would have a slight chance of being able to wield Nightblood and get killed by it.
ReplyDelete>:D
Wait...a kaladin t-shirt??? I have to know what this masterpiece looks like!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeletee-mail: khyberelessedil@hotmail.com
I win!!
ReplyDeleteTough decision. I'd probably shoot for a citizen of Elantris - the magic there is the closest to the types of magic I like.
ReplyDeleteScadrial because being a mist born would just be cool.
ReplyDeleteI would go to the Terris Dominance (as established in the logbook that Vin takes from Kredik Shaw)so that I could build a really BIG indestructible Well of Ascension cover that is element-proof, bulletproof, etc. That way, Ruin would never be able to escape and the realms would still have sunlight, trees, clear skies, grass, and most importantly, flowers. I would also go back in time just to punch the mortal man who later became the Lord Ruler.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry, I wanted to post a bit more to my comment. Here it is. If I win, my email is harrisona@centenarycollege.edu. Thank you!

I would also go back in time just to punch the mortal man who later became the Lord Ruler because he comes across like a whiny ten-year-old even though he claimed he was the "hero." He kills Kelsier. I actually very much liked Kelsier. When I got to that point in the book, I bawled, literally bawled. So, he has given me enough reason to deck him completely.
Roshar.
ReplyDeleteHighstorm = awesome hang gliding potentials!
Another vote for Roshar. I can easily imagine dedicating my life to the pursuit and documentation of the multitude of Spren around that world.
ReplyDeleteWhile I would probably be a conscientious objector to the caste system in general, I'd thankfully be on the light side of the divide, which would help.
Add to the above the fact that there is a veritable hat-full of magic systems; I'd probably have a greater chance of meeting some kind of criteria for them. Overall Roshar is probably the most beautiful [if war-torn] of Brandon's worlds, in my opinion. Without question; Roshar.
Hallendren, on Nalthis. Love the idea of it.
ReplyDeleteIt would have to be Purelake. That place just seems like pure bliss :)
ReplyDeleteThe Plains of Shinovar on Roshar would have to be the place for me. Just seems like a peaceful way of life.
ReplyDeleteI'd pick Roshar. Light colored eyes + Being a girl + Being a writer = pretty sweet life on Roshar, I should think. I'd probably want to camp out near the Palanaeum, because an enormous library sounds right up my alley. The one issue I would probably have is how much I love Shardblades. Once I managed to acquire mine (I think I'm gonna take Sadeas') I'd have to keep mine hidden, like Shallan does...
ReplyDeletea larger part of me wants to say Sel, to be able to visit the wondrous city of Elantris... but the Artist in me can't help but outweigh that desire and make me say Nalthis for the chance to get more breaths and experience the beauties of an enhanced colorful world.
ReplyDeleteemail: fire_net1@yahoo.com
As a Voidbringer, the shattered plains allows for a great variety of prey and lots of strife to roam in.
ReplyDeleteI would move to Roshar. No doubt about it because that's where Kaladin is. He is sharding AWESOME and honestly because its the world where a ten book story is taking place we'll get a lot more detail about the planet and have plenty of other characters to meet. The highstorms would also be awesome (provided they don't kill me) because I love being in the rain.
ReplyDeleteemail: kiwi.wright@gmail.com
I would have to go to Hallandren. I view all the other worlds as more interesting, but Hallandren seems the most stable. It's also very bright and in a way carefree.
ReplyDeleteNot to mention the fact that anyone can have the "special power" there or that you could essentially become a god (of sorts).
Plus if I died, I could totally chill with Lightsong.
Scadrial, hands down. The pulling and pushing and flying without really flying-- so cool. I definitely want to be Mistborn. But not a part of the Great Houses so half-skaa, like Vin.
ReplyDeleteemail: sihejirika@verizon.net
We would move to Roshar, we just finished a 3000 mile drive and added extra detours to ensure we could finish the entire audiobook! and we are still having visions of this book in our heads Storm it!
ReplyDeleteScadrial, maybe. I love the magic system.
ReplyDeleteOr Roshar. Surgebinding sounds awesome, but they also have Dalinar and Kaladin.
But Scadrial had Elend and Vin...
Is there a place in between? Or can I just hop around with Hoid?
Howdy, i read your blog from time to time and i own a similar one
ReplyDeleteand i was just curious if you get a lot of spam responses?
If so how do you prevent it, any plugin or anything you can advise?
I get so much lately it's driving me insane so any support is very much appreciated.
