asked:
I keep hearing about Sanderson's works being interconnected. (Elantris, Mistborn, Stormlight...anything else?) I am re reading Stormlight Archives at the moment and will go back over Mistborn soon. Can anyone point out any easter eggs I should look out for. Thanks.

Have you read Warbreaker yet? There's a Warbreaker reference at the end of Words of Radiance.

First of all, beware spoilers, for this, and all Cosmere novels (Elantris, Mistbirn, Warbreaker, etc) The biggest and most explicit one is Wit. The name he gives to Kaladin is "Hoid," and he is the same Hoid who has popped up in different disguises (usually as a beggar or a storyteller) in th Mistborn series, Elantris and Warbreaker. The second-biggest is the Warbreaker stuff mentioned by Avaminn. A character from Warbreaker plays a small-but-significant part in Words of Radiance (and even gets a whole interlude chapter!), and then Warbreaker comes into sharp focus, screaming and beating its chest, right at the end of Szeth's last chapter in WoR. Then there are a bunch of subtler nods. The three travelers who meet with the the Purelake fisherman in the first interlude are actually Demoux (Mistborn), Galladon (Elantris) and someone from the upcoming "White Sand" graphic novel. The one dude sketching bridgemen tattoos is Nazh, a worldhopper who's popped up a few times. Iyatill (Ghostblood with the weird ingrown mask) is widely suspected of being a SoScad. And of course, the Ars Arcanums for these novels, as for all Cosmere novels, are written by a woman named Khriss, a worldhopper from the White Sand world (Nazh) is her assistant and cartographer).

Good question, I am interested to see what, if anything people come up with. I've yet to notice any connecting "easter eggs" in the Sanderson Cosmosphere.

Read warbreaker! then reread stormlight! The ending to words of radiance is so much cooler when you know warbreaker!

Here is a good list that points you at the right direction but dont spoil it completely:

But in recent novels the underlying system (like the 3 realms, investiture, etc) gets more and more expained, and a lots of old stuff starts to make sense.
