Thaidakar the Ghostblood Posted March 3, 2022 Report Share Posted March 3, 2022 Hey guys, I just read the sample chapters. srsly don't read the stuff in the spoiler if you have not read the sample chapters. Spoiler YEEE!! Iriali! Hoid! Sorceress! I wonder if the twelve moons have something to do with the magic system? Immediately I knew it was Hoid telling the story. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nathrangking Posted March 3, 2022 Report Share Posted March 3, 2022 Hoid is a Gem!! "I wish", Brandon. Really? You sentimental man you. So many cosmere nods!! It was wonderful!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thaidakar the Ghostblood Posted March 3, 2022 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2022 now we know one of the other planets the Iriali have been at! this is excellent. I bet we are going to get a lot more cosmere nods throughout the novel. I wonder if the epilogue is Hoid finishing the story and the person he was telling it to talking about it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#1 Taln Fan Posted March 3, 2022 Report Share Posted March 3, 2022 I wonder what happened to the old Iriali. What if this is set in the future, and the old Iriali were the ones on Roshar? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thaidakar the Ghostblood Posted March 3, 2022 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2022 I think this is set three hundred years or so after the Iriali went to Roshar. remember Roshar and Scadrial had major things keeping them from evolving and gaining better tech. Though the point that the Iriali came a long time ago in Roshar's history. Though I theorize that the Iriali came during one of the last few desolations, but that is still a long time. hmm, this needs more thought. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scriptorian Posted March 3, 2022 Report Share Posted March 3, 2022 I’m rather satisfied with the fact that I spied Hoid’s lemony narration for what it was, well before he was name-dropped. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has to be somebody to whom machines spitting out smog, cannons and elephant seals make sense. That means Scadrial. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That means Scadrial. It means probably someone with knowledge of Scadrial. He's probably told Jasnah a good amount about the other planets, at least enough that she'd be able to understand that. My third place guess is Harmony, and fourth is the kandra on Roshar, both of which would have knowledge of Scadrial enough to make this tale make sense. Of course, assuming this falls after Oathbringer, they could have absolutely no knowledge of any of that and he could be providing Lightweavings for context. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thaidakar the Ghostblood Posted March 3, 2022 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2022 I think he is talking to Jasnah. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iceblade44 Posted March 3, 2022 Report Share Posted March 3, 2022 There us still much of the tech level we need to know first of the Tress before coming to a conclusion. Though if the plot does involve pirates, maybe we can hedge are bets to 17th centuryish or so. Definitely excited to find out how much swashbuckling adventure then will do. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kandrafish Posted March 5, 2022 Report Share Posted March 5, 2022 The first chapters were excellent. I loved all of the cosmere references. AoN spoiler Spoiler I didn't even pick up on the verdant thing until the second time I listened to it. I think I must be pronouncing verdant wrong in my head because the way Brandon said it, just didn't register with me. Now, I am totally convinced that this is an Aether planet. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AquaRegia Posted March 5, 2022 Report Share Posted March 5, 2022 (edited) Anybody else notice the Cytonic nod? "Dominating your view, like if you had a wart on your eyeball." Please tell me I'm not the only one who noticed this... Edited March 7, 2022 by AquaRegia 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's like we refer to "Old English" or "Old Irish" or "Old High German" here on our world. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You woudn't call Sumerian "Old Sumerian". Yet the Iriali have vanished. As far as those people are aware there is no modern Iriali language. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Silverlight Posted March 8, 2022 Report Share Posted March 8, 2022 We have no idea how long the Iriali had lived on Tress's World before they disappeared. We do know that the Iriali have been on Roshar since the time before the Recreance (they were one of the Silver Kingdoms). The Recreance occurred at least 2,000 years before the events of the Stormlight Archive. To put this in perspective, Old English was spoken some 1,200-900 years ago. Apparently, the Iriali lived on Tress's World long enough for their language to evolve into a substantially different form. The term "Old Iriali" is probably used as a contrast to the version of the language the Iriali were speaking before they vanished. The people currently living on Tress's World would probably refer to the most recent version of the language as "Iriali" rather than "Modern Iriali." 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
