KoW = ???

All very interesting, I really like @R J's Knot of Woes from the previous thread.

If the in world book is by a Shin, which would make a lot of sense, it might be something more poetic.

Kingdom of Windless Tremors

Killing One Wounds Three (gets at the Shin's distaste for the martial arts, and also they seem to have a decidely Confucian, filial piety kind of mentality with their naming conventions, it would make sense to emphasize that you hurt not just the one you kill but their family too)

Or Killing Only Wounds Thyself

Kneel Only With Tears (I actually really like this one)

Or this slight variation of the above

Kneel Once Without Trembling

Just going to throw out a couple of more of these out there.

Keepers of Wordless Truths

Kindred of Wind

But there's also the fact that this is going to be the epic end of the first five book arc, so something that speaks to that is also quite likely like.

Knights of Whispered Tradgedy ( a lot of the crew aren't going to make it to the back five)

Kingdoms of Withering Terror (if Odium is ascendant)

Kingdoms of Wounded Truths (poor dead eye spren)

If all the conflict is resolved it might be Kindly Old Women Talking.

If the focus is on the ecological disaster wrought by the misuse of surges and the wanton over harvesting of chasm field's gemhearts than it might be Kleenex Only Wastes Trees

And just some silly ones:

Kings Often Wipe Thoroughly

Knights Out Whacking Things

Kicking Out Witty Topaz (maybe Odium finally realizes Hoid is on Roshar)

Kinda Oily Wet Toad

Guys. You can use the letter "H" as a wildcard for Vorin keteks.

KoH: Knights of Honor; Keepers of History

HoW: Heroes of Wit; Honor of Winds

OMG

Knights of Honor's Truth

Knife of Heaven's Treasure

Knowledge of Hope

Knowledge of Wind

Ketek of Highstorms

House of Worldsingers

Killer of Worlds (=Odium?)

Knights of War

Keeper of Wit (Hoid! Lol)

King of Woe

 

If we include the "t":

 

The Kingdom of Woes

The Killer of Wickedness

The Knowledge of (the) Wind

The Keeper(s) of Will

So far, everything's been the name of an in-world text.  So I'm trying to think, what sounds like a book title Roshar would have?  I think maybe Knight of Wisdom (learn about the Recreance?), or Killer of Worlds, which does seem to almost fit with Odium, though that's kind of more Ruin.  Maybe Jasnah or Navani writes a book when they learn more of how humans ended up on Roshar.

In world book, but also relevant to the book, 
Being Szeth's book, and probably Skybreakers? 
Truth or Truthless is relevant. 
Knight of High Truth

King, Knight, Keeper, Ketek, ..  of Hallowed Truths

If K is replaceable with C as in the Alethi script only has K for the hard sound. 
Then could use words like Crusade, or Connection which is becoming an important theme for book 5.

Crusade of Hallowed Truths
Crusade of  ? Truthless/Truth

Since you can make adjustment for verb form, we could alter that and have the t be tKoW or KotW because nothing grammatically fits in KoWt. Or just drop the t entirely.

That could be interesting...
