Tunicate posted:I think it's roughly publication order, but the newer books are breaking the pattern? More or less (lots of spoilers in link) Short answer: they happen in order of publication up until Way of Kings, though with unknown timing outside Mistborn. Alloy of Law is roughly contemporary with Way of Kings. Emperor's Soul takes place not too long after Elantris, and before the Mistborn trilogy.

Wolpertinger posted:We really only have an extremely loose timeline.. and I can't even find it again, I just know that he mentioned the rough order of some book, so Way of Kings could be shortly after, years after, decades after, or centuries after. Worldhoppers probably have a multitude of ways of obtaining immortality or at least slowing aging, so seeing cameos doesn't necessarily mean that they happened shortly after one another. Brandon has talked about that a little. First example I could find: http://www.reddit.com/r/Fantasy_Bookclub/comments/oji9u/the_alloy_of_law_qa_with_brandon_sanderson/ quote:How long before WoK is Alloy of Law? I heard somewhere that it's a hundred years, but I don't think that's right. quote:3) I intended them to be happening roughly close to one another, with WOK slightly before.

Something interesting I noticed earlier. Here's the epigraph for chapter 64 of Way of Kings: "They come from the pit, two dead men, a heart in their hands, and I know that I have seen true glory." —Kakashah 1173, 13 seconds pre-death. A rickshaw puller. In Words of Radiance, True Glory is the title of the chapter where Kaladin and Shallan come out of the chasm carrying a gemheart.

To anyone reading Way of Kings: do a google image search for slot canyon and keep those pictures in mind while reading the chasm scenes to be sure your imagination does them justice.

http://www.tor.com/blogs/2011/01/your-questions-for-brandon-sanderson-answeredquote:For instance, in The Way of Kings, Drehy, a member of Bridge Four, is gay. He’s based on a good friend of mine who is gay. There is a lesbian character in The Allow of Law; again I don’t make a big deal of it though it’s a little more obvious. The lesbian character in Alloy is Ranette.

The novella Edgedancer takes place shortly after WoR, so she'll be a few months older at most. Later on, in the second half of the series, she'll have a viewpoint book taking place 10+ years after book 5 when she'll be in the 25-30 range.

That was Ati. There was a similar thing earlier. Here's the epigraph from chapter 56: I don’t know why Preservation decided to use his last bit of life appearing to Elend during his trek back to Fadrex. ... By the time Elend saw the “mist spirit,” Preservation must have been barely coherent. I wonder what Elend would have done, had he known that he was in the presence of a dying god—that on that night, he had been the last witness of Preservation’s passing. If Elend had waited just a few more minutes on that ashen field, he would have seen a body—short of stature, black hair, prominent nose—fall from the mists and slump dead into the ash. As it was, the corpse was left alone to be buried in ash. The world was dying. Its gods had to die with it.

Avalerion posted:I don't think it really spoils anything for those, or does it? Secret history ends up long before that era. Remember that Bands of Mourning starts off acting like Rashek had a way to survive his fight with Vin, then made the Bands and became the Sovereign down in the south, only to have Hoid give Wax a copper medallion with a memory from the Sovereign's pov showing the scars on his arms implying that it was actually Kelsier.

Now that Lopen has regrown his missing arm, and before Kaladin is back, he should have his other arm cut off and then only use enough stormlight to heal the wound, then everyone should act like it's always been that arm that's missing.

From chapter 37 when Rock is cooking while the others practicequote:As he worked, hands deep within the dough, he could hear his mother’s humming. Her careful instructions. Kaladin was wrong; Lunamor hadn’t become a cook. He’d always been one, since he could toddle up the stepstool to the counter and stick his fingers in the sticky dough. Yes, he’d once trained with a bow. But soldiers needed to eat, and nuatoma guards each did several jobs, even guards with his particular heritage and blessings.

Something to keep in mind is that those were Stormlight characters before Warbreaker was even conceived, which was kind of a stealth Stormlight prequel.

Habibi posted:Jasnah routinely calls her out for using a bludgeon where an <insert more delicate instrument> would do, but as I noted in my original complaint, the one time we see Jasnah jet loose with her trademark wit, it's a bad "your mom" joke. And she gets flustered with herself for resorting to a "your mom" joke, but the real problem was simply that the joke wasn't funny, which is what leads me to suspect that on those occasions when Sanderson achieves real comedy, such as with Lightsong, it's mostly by accident. How did you determine that Sanderson meant it to be funny? How funny do you think he meant it to be?

Based on some of Lift's behavior, especially the time in Edgedancer when she speaks to the urchin about the orphanage, I have a suspicion that the Edgedancer resonance involves a gift of tongues sort of thing. That could fit pretty well with them being "articulate and refined".

New Yorp New Yorp posted:Not sure why you think that. Regarding lighteyes/darkeyes in Stormlight: The eye color class stratification is a holdover because Knights Radiant have light eyes while they're holding stormlight. It's more likely that people realize that and the class distinction becomes meaningless and causes some societal upheaval similar to elimination of caste systems in earth cultures. I think that, while there may be some lighteyes who just naturally have lighter eye colors, for most it comes from the ancient Radiants developing pale eyes from their bonds, and then because of whatever broader effects imprisoning BAM had on Roshar, that trait persisted after they broke their oaths and was inherited by their descendants, just like how the singers connected to her lost their ability to take forms, which was also inherited by their children who never had such a connection. The Radiants lived in the kingdom of Alethela. I figure that after the Recreance they went home and lived the rest of their lives. The Radiants were in charge there before they broke their oaths and the orders were dissolved, and afterwards the same people for the most part continued to be in charge.
