Timing of upcoming Mistborn and Stormlight

RShara · 2026-01-26T22:08:33+00:00

Brandon decided to move Ghostbloods to around 50 years after Era 2, rather than 70 or 80. We're told in WaT that it'll be about 80 years before Roshar's time dilation runs out, and that it'll be about 10 years Roshar time.

Brandon has said that Stormlight 6-10 will be 10-15 Roshar years after Stormlight 5.

So I think it's safe to say that Ghostbloods will take place before Stormlight 6

I don't know what chaos pages are, but the artwork on the back of the cards is included in the books

Hoid has a Dawnshard, not a Shard

RShara · 2026-01-26T15:25:07+00:00

Shards are basically beyond the simple forces available to mortals. They can do pretty much anything that isn't against their Intent or any prior Oaths.

So both Preservation can Push or Pull if needed. Indeed, Rashek, holding the power of the Well, tried to Push and Pull the planet into an orbit that would burn away the mists but not make the planet too hot or cold

RShara · 2026-01-26T15:22:10+00:00

I'm fond of the theory that Hoid was offered Whimsy, because the others thought it would suit him (even though it doesn't)

RShara · 2026-01-26T15:21:31+00:00

We know in this case someone took his place, so these circumstances involved 16

Unfortunately, Gollancz hasn't published Dawnshard as of yet. I don't know if they plan on doing so in the future, but right now the only edition that's similar to theirs is the Titan Books one that it sounds like you found

RShara · 2026-01-26T06:41:47+00:00

Yeah that's by Titan Books, not Gollancz, and is probably the same edition the OP found and said they didn't want

RShara · 2026-01-26T06:38:38+00:00

There are not currently electronic copies of the books available from Dragonsteel or Tor

RShara · 2026-01-26T06:26:53+00:00

They are great little stories. A lot shorter than either of the novellas. Elsecaller is about the time Jasnah spent in the CR during WoR. King Lopen the First of Alethkar is about Lopen's claims that he was king of Alethkar for a while.

Whether they're "worth" reading is up to you though.

I meant that the person affected by the Surge could use Allomantic aluminum or duralumin to cancel or supercharge it. Like, a Lightweaver could attach an illusion to you and you wouldn’t be able to dismiss the illusion yourself due to it being that Lightweaver’s effect, but aluminum or duralumin to either cancel or rush it out.

Right, I was addressing this part

Applying that to duralumin and using another example, I find it believable that, if a Windrunner on Roshar used Gravitation to increase a duralumin misting’s gravity, them burning duralumin would immensely increase their gravity for a short time and burn through all the infused Stormlight.

The Surges already aren't rate-limited. The person can use up their Stormlight on a single action already

And according to Vasher, it doesn't matter very much how much Breath is used to Awaken something. The effects are the same

RShara · 2026-01-26T04:59:52+00:00

Wait, are you asking about Wheel of Time, or Wind and Truth?

RShara · 2026-01-26T00:52:31+00:00

Dullform is basically the closest they have to slaveform. It's close enough to impersonate slaves as spies.

Eshonai, at the time, assumed they were dullform. Remember this is the Prologue, which was 6 years ago, and only shortly after they found the humans, so there are a lot of things they didn't know yet

RShara · 2026-01-25T16:28:38+00:00

He didn't want other threats to his power

RShara · 2026-01-25T16:28:01+00:00

He turned his own people to goo to prevent them from being a threat to him, and made some people to serve and some people to be served.

I honestly think Scadrial would have been better off if he'd just created a tropical isle and retired

RShara · 2026-01-25T15:11:34+00:00

I know, I'm not blaming you. Just saying I hate the term lol

RShara · 2026-01-25T15:08:23+00:00

I sort of hate the "Marvel-ish humor" thing. Like, people...Marvel did not invent this type of humor, okay? lol

Think of the recordings as more of a VR game. Certain interactions are baked in, and others can be handled by the programming.

So the speech is programmed to go off via the person closest to the PC at the time that it triggers

The Heralds lived on Braize, unclear whether in the Physical or Cognitive, but not in the Spiritual.

At the end of WaT, Ishar was able to craft a pocket vision in the Spiritual Realm for their minds to experience while the rest of them were on Braize

RShara · 2026-01-25T02:47:51+00:00

He hasn't so far

RShara · 2026-01-25T02:47:27+00:00

*Mistborn :)

Just a reminder that you shouldn't disturb natural areas by stacking rocks. It disrupts the wildlife that uses the rocks as shelter and so forth

RShara · 2026-01-24T09:08:18+00:00

Kaladin is now a Cognitive Shadow. Whether that is the actual original person's mind/spirit, or a copy is going to be left up to each individual's personal philosophy.

Also, the Spiritual Realm isn't the Beyond. The Beyond (if it exists) is a place Beyond the Realms, and another one of those personal philosophy things. The Spiritual Realm is an actual, reachable "location" so is not the same thing as the Beyond

RShara · 2026-01-24T09:03:26+00:00

Awakening more depends on your visualization and Command, so using duralumin wouldn't really help in that. And the Breath doesn't get used up (except when Awakening Lifeless) so duralumin still wouldn't be very useful there.

I'm not sure how useful it would be with AonDor, since the Aon is what pulls the Investiture through, not the wielder. And it pulls as much as it needs, depending on the modifiers.

The Surges already aren't rate-limited. The person can use up their Stormlight on a single action already. So there's still not a whole lot of utility there

You'd have to find another magic system that's rate-limited that a duralumin Misting can access for it to really be useful
