Killer of the West Don't forget that the titles are in-world books as well. So unless someone is writing a biography of Szeth, this is probably not it. Doesn't necessarily have to be a biography of Szeth specifically, could instead be a recounting of the events of his cleansing of Shinovar (which he swore to at the end of OB). If it was based off of phonetics more than strictly the letters, I would like Cleansing of the West better, but it wouldn't be very intuitive to some for tWoK, WoR, O, RoW, CotW to be a symetrical title (the same can be said for KotW at the last one, but we can always just sans out the 'the' on WoK and KoW and that works fine) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bearer of all agonies Posted November 6, 2020 Report Share Posted November 6, 2020 I've seen others like: Killer of Worlds King of Worlds Killer of White Kingdom of Wrath I hope we find out soon because I'm ready! Do we know how much before RoW is released that we found out the name? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leuthie Posted November 7, 2020 Report Share Posted November 7, 2020 Knightly Oaths We've Taken Horrible book title, but doesn't use "of" and fits. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zorben Posted November 9, 2020 Report Share Posted November 9, 2020 (edited) Let's keep in mind that this will be Book 5 of a 5 part series. So I think the title should be something somewhat optimistic (Along the veins of Hero of Ages or A Memory of Light). This is what I came up with: Keys of the World Keys has the double meaning of Tones. The in-world book could be an ancient Singer hymnal or something.

Menderbug Posted November 17, 2020 Report Share Posted November 17, 2020 (edited) Bit late to the party, but ever since the acronym palindrome has become a possibility, I've been thinking a very likely title for a Szeth/Shin-focused book that does include the T could be "Keeper(s) of W??? Truths". Edit: Ah, I see that some people in the other thread had similar ideas (with "W" as "Written" or "Wordless").

kalamitous_emoashions Posted November 26, 2020 Report Share Posted November 26, 2020 I like Keeper of... Keepers of Worlds (Shin knowledge of the cosmere/being from off-world originally) Keepers of Written Truths (shardic hark back to mistborn and shards not seeing stuff written on metal) Keeper of Winds Tethered (honor tethering/putting laws on surgebinding) Knights of World's Torn (the destruction of ashyn) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bearer of all agonies Posted December 5, 2020 Report Share Posted December 5, 2020 Personally, I think it has to be killer something. We all know book one has Kings, and kings of something isn’t Brandon’s style. Sorry, I don’t mean to be mean to you, that’s just my thinking. Killer of White. Keeper of Worlds. Keeper of White. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Truthwatcher94 Posted September 26, 2021 Report Share Posted September 26, 2021 (edited) Idk if anyone already guessed this but how about Keeper of Words? Since the Shin probably know everything and probably wanted to stay that way. Words for the ideals and all. Edit: Keeper of the Words, maybe?

Brandon if you’re reading this, please put it on record that I called it first! Seriously, it might be something the Heralds or Ishar wrote for the Shin, which is believed (correct me if I’m wrong) to be an Ashyn-town for Roshar. They were entrusted to guard the powers that once destroyed their previous home planet after the Heralds left. Maybe that’s why they have all these rules about treating stormlight as holy and give more importance to preserving life than taking it. IIRC, they are also trained the use of the Honorblades but within controlled environment and supervision. They respect the Heralds as gods and maybe this book is like the Bible to them. Between the end of RoW and the beginning of book 5, which was set within days, I don’t know how much information our main characters can get from Shinovar and will it have the weight to affect Dalinar’s decisions moving forward. But I guess, Brandon wouldn’t squeeze this in if it wasn’t or maybe the Shin storyline will happen after the showdown of champions. This is probably for another thread. Anyway, that’s my theory, an in-world book of guidelines made for the future residents of Roshar but made into laws of a country. And don’t get me started on the real world similarities of persecuting someone who asks questions that undermine the authenticity of a holy book. PS: I’m new to the forum, so please be kind, thanks! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnightsOfHonor Posted October 18, 2021 Report Share Posted October 18, 2021 I always thought that Knights of Honor would be a good title seeing as H can be substituted in for other things. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KaladinWorldsinger Posted October 19, 2021 Report Share Posted October 19, 2021 Guys the the only two suggestions possible is Knight of woe( ref night of sorrows) Knights of honor Anything else is just too complicated and aesthetically not pleasing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

U can't do something like that with a 't' at the end. Honestly I don't want all that. I just want 'The night of sorrows'. That would be amazing 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnightsOfHonor Posted October 19, 2021 Report Share Posted October 19, 2021 Yeah, I am just joking about the "knights on honors team" thing but I do think at this point it will follow the ketek with the acronyms. There are several WoB where he says he was not sure if he would or not but when RoW was given that title I think it is a sign he is going for it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zoey Posted January 10, 2022 Report Share Posted January 10, 2022 We now know the likely name Quote Shreyas Wajekar I'm just going to throw in a title suggestion for Stormlight 5. Knight(s) of Withered Truth(s). Brandon Sanderson That's a good one. I've toyed with Knights of Woeful Truth for a while. That's the frontrunner, but yours isn't a bad one. https://wob.coppermind.net/events/484/#e15377 and Quote Maor Bril SA 5 Title: Knight Of Winds and Thunder Brandon Sanderson That's not bad, actually. One of the better suggestions I've been given. But it can't just be cool, it has to match the text. Knight of or Knights of is likely to start it, but the last words are ones I'm still mulling over. So it will start with Knights of and most likely be Knights of Woeful Truth as of now 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
