Faceless Immortals

Questioner: When Wax's uncle gets blown up and [the Faceless Immortal] says "you will serve us in another realm", is that a [truth] ?

Brandon Sanderson: Wait wait, who says that?

Questioner: With Suit, the end of Bands of Mourning? He gets blown up...?

Brandon Sanderson: Oh right, right...So, yeah, that is not specifically answered on purpose. That is meant to be more ambiguous, it may not even be a true statement.

Questioner: So their deity doesn't pick which souls...

Brandon Sanderson: I'm not saying yes or no, I'm just saying, don't take what they say as law, as the actual state of things. It may just be a belief on their part.
