MasterK-Bob Posted January 8, 2023 Report Share Posted January 8, 2023 Hi all, Are we to assume this is space age cosmere? If so is it as late as Sixth of the Dusk? The audience obviously doesn't know about certain technologies, so it seems like THEY aren't yet on the space age, but is anyone? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weekapaug Posted January 8, 2023 Report Share Posted January 8, 2023 (edited) I believe if I'm understanding right while reading it, its toward the end of the Cosmere cycle, sometime before space age Mistborn, but being told sometime after Sixth of Dusk. Quote Direct quote from Brandon about when Hoid is telling the story is "He is telling this story within years or decades of the events, not within centuries." This one will be fun to re-read.

Weekapaug Posted January 8, 2023 Report Share Posted January 8, 2023 After combing through more WOB: Quote Matt Hatch I like how you're timelining your RAFOs. Like this is a RAFO but with information. Brandon Sanderson Yeah. Like I consider where the Cosmere is right now in its main timeline to be right around the 10 to 15 year period that Stormlight and Wax and Wayne are happening. And that's where we are in the Cosmere right now. But this is taking place way in the future. Actually, all three Secret Projects are fairly future era Cosmere. Basically I'm just kind of building out- what's going on with some of these things is, I want the Cosmere to be pushing towards a Star Wars/Star Trek-esque large universe of planets where lots of interesting stories are happening. And that's the future of the Cosmere. And so as I'm reaching to build more stories, I'm reaching to stories on those planets. So we can safely assume this is well into the future. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lacrossedeamon Posted January 10, 2023 Report Share Posted January 10, 2023 If Xisis is Foil and Khriss only knows his location when it becomes common knowledge it also implies the events are only 300 years after RoW. But Hoid’s retelling definitely seems to be around SotD timeframe. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeoMantrix Posted January 11, 2023 Report Share Posted January 11, 2023 I don't think the preview chapters include the reference to the Iriali disappearing 300 years before (I'm an old fogey who uses audiobooks mostly, so sorry if that's a misspelling). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s chapter 2 during the first interaction with Charlie. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
