What comes AFTER Wind and Truth? (Future of Stormlight)

It might seem like we have a while to wait until Stomlight Archive book 6, however the next piece of Roshar is RIGHT AROUND THE CORNER! In this video I delve into everything we have coming from a narrative perspective to the Stormlight Archive in the next 7 years. (It's a lot closer than you think!)

Chapters:
--------
Intro 0:00
Stonewalkers 0:39
Horneater 03:16
Second Arc of Stormlight 04:17

Thanks for watching!

Hard to believe this is only your 4th video, the quality is really good! Keep up the good work!

Love these videos! It's nice to see more cosmere content creators :D

I’m super excited for the timeline shenanigans and the 10/80 year thing. If I’m understanding this correctly, Wind and Truth is setting up at Era 2 starts up right after Wind & Truth and lasts for about 10 years. Then in the State of the Sanderson, Brandon announced that Era 3 was going to be 50 years after that. So that’s 60 years then 10-20 years later, Roshar syncs back up with the rest of the cosmere and their 10 years have passed. So, that would mean that Scadrial is going to have like 90s/00s levels of technology. I cannot wait for the Scadrian worldhoppers to roll up to Roshar with their flip phones and CD players.

I think the event of Cultivation fleeing Roshar will be presented via Horneater
And thus the horneaters MeLaan sees at the end of TLM

Subscribed - good luck with growing the channel!

[edwardguest]

I assume the rock book needs to happen as the refugees that Melaan picks up at the end of TLM was the horneaters

[austinlong]

I was also excited when I realized lift would be trained by vasher. Idk about awakening but at minimum she will be one of the most powerful fighters on roshar after what Nail already said about her and her training

[Renfailed]

I'm so excited for the RPG books! Backed em at the DM level cause how could I not

WaT spoilers.




I think Taravangian/Retribution will be the big bad for Elantris Books 2 and 3, Ghostbloods (Mistborn Era 3) and SA Books 6-10. But he will have a Thanos like roll. This means you may see him at the end of some of the Elantris and Ghostblood books. Perhaps Moash, some new characters or the Blackthorn will be a more visible antagonist in these books. Retribution will only be the on screen antagonist in the 2nd Cosmere act.

I could foresee there being a brand new antagonist for Mistborn Era 4. A second Cosmere swerve.

Either Rysn sails beyond the none land mass to try to hide (less likely) or somewho is able to get her boat into Shadesmar. If so, she will meet up with Shallan. What I do not want to happen is for Shallan to get off world and then we see her child or grandchild come back and meet Adolin in the Physical Realm. That would be sad.

Not a fan of the Blackthorn concept. I would rather that Moash be Retribution's off world spokesman. If Dalinar had the capacity and willingness to grow, I think somehow the Blackthorn will as well. While Cultivation helped Dalinar bypass making it easier, Dalinar had to want to grow. He would not have changed if he did not want to.

Also, I foresee the portion of Honor changing in such a way (in subtle ways that Taravangian will not notice until it is too late) that the combined intent of the Shard ultimately changes. Mishram will be the next Vessel of this altered Shard.

There’s even more to discuss here!




- The Stormlight World Guide will be canon and the Handbook will surely have relevant information, as will the Bridge 9, Shadesmar etc mini booklets.
- What are the odds that we’ll get a second canon adventure book before we get book 6 in 7 years? Johnny has already been teasing a potential idea for one.
- The Lost Tales short stories! Both Elsecaller and King Lopen the First of Alethkar are canon! (The Chasmfriends, sadly, was not.) I imagine Dragonsteel will lean into this and do more stories for future conventions. They’ve already committed to publishing them in a regular format in the future, too.

- On another note, the Lopen 1.5 novella idea kind of got scrapped, the way I understand it. Firstly, it was always going to take place during the climax of WoR, so it was never 1.5. Secondly, Brandon already used some character development ideas for Lopen in Dawnshard. Thirdly, we just got it with the Lost Tales cards.

Knowing Brandon, writing a 1.5 novella is something he will want to do. He’s mused about doing a Teft novella. Personally, I’d been hoping for an Ishikk one, which would be easier continuity-wise since he hasn’t resurfaced again in the story. I’d love for him to showcase the Purelake and the fish, and find Hoid, but not get back to the 17th Shard characters.

In any case, I wouldn’t discount a shorter 1.5 novella down the line, perhaps for a potential RoW leatherbound crowdfunding campaign around 2030.

Stormlight Archive 6 will still come out before Winds of Winter

[edwardguest]

Also Sel is the only other dual shard world so I am very curious that Sanderson said he consideres Elantris the third core series

[yayafunky]

Spoiler dont scroll down if you haven't read Wind and Truth











with Cultivation leaving the planet, wouldn't that affect Lift like stormlight being affected? curious to see that

[Buphido]

Wait… Could Ash end up bonding an Ashspren? The irony of her nickname aside, Nale was both Radiant and Herald, and noone ever said you‘d have to be Radiant of the order associated with your Honorblade. That‘d be sick I feel like! Imagine a Herald, already mighty powerful, with the surges of Division, Abrasion, Illumination AND Transformation…

[happyclapper]

I think the events of this book will destroy jasnah. Will take her a while to recover i think.

[johntrunkey]

The in-between books will be about the dragons imo

[MarineBridge]

The part in the store set in the future where the sea monster tells them they need to leave and they have some guys there confused me. Can someone explain this to me please.

[truss]

Dm the rpg by yourself 😢 invite some of us I’d be down probably

[bobrob]

I don't think that era 3 will take place between parts 1 and 2 of Stormlight. I think the time dilation will probably be fixed by book 10.
