teknopathetic Posted March 9, 2022 Report Share Posted March 9, 2022 (edited) Brandon says "dont read into me saying Whimsy', but that you should read into something else I said earlier in this stream" [paraphrase] Any ideas? This happens at 1:23 Things I heard: the Midnight Mother is doing things similar to what the Night Aether did in Aether of Night (their names are quite similar) he say wrote "Kingmaker" [sic] after writing Tress. He calls it Kingmaker a few times. He then correct himself and calls it 'King Killer'. Is that something? " if you look at the Kickstarter page, there's that nice illustration of Hoid--also done by Howard Lyon--and in the background you will see some stars. Hmm? The new ones aren't in there yet" Edited March 9, 2022 by teknopathetic 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elegy Posted March 9, 2022 Report Share Posted March 9, 2022 I'm guessing this one: Quote MoriWillow The spores react to water with sudden growth, which is very similar to Dayside lichen. Is the lichen an Aether, or significantly related to the Aethers? Brandon Sanderson Read the book. That's a RAFO, but there are some clues in Secret Project One. Secret Project #1 Reveal and Livestream (March 8, 2022) A possible hinted connection to Taldain could mean that the planet could have an avatar of Autonomy, maybe? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weird invested lifeforms seem to be a hallmark of Autonomy. See First of the Sun's island ecosystem(s). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's an excerpt available; he read it at his con late last year. The Kingkiller Chronicle is an unfinished series of books by another author; Brandon brought it up as a point of comparison to his plans for Dragonsteel, since he's intending a similar style where it's written as if narrated by the main character. I'm betting it's the line where he says "I am working quite a bit on this planet [the core aether planet] for future projects." There were three Untitled Aether Books listed in State of the Sanderson 2019, which reads to me like a trilogy, which I would count as a single project. I wonder what other projects aethers would be relevant for? Personally, I think aethers from Aether of Night are much better suited for a video game than most other Cosmere magics; they're not hyperspecific, like Allomancy or Surgebinding, but they're also not infinitely broad like AonDor or Awakening. So it'd be cool if he was tooling around with an Aether Video Game as a way to sneak them in to canon outside of his writing schedule, the same way White Sand snuck in as a graphic novel. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the write up on the project! I vaguely knew those details but I am glad to have read them. The thing I noticed is that Brandon called it Kingmaker sometimes and Kingkiller othertimes, so wasnt sure if that was a slip of some kind. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
