IndigoAjah Posted November 28, 2020 Report Share Posted November 28, 2020 So Sanderson has confirmed that, after accidentally starting it, he's gonna continue the palindromic shape of naming his books. Given the O of Oathbringer, this probably means Books 1-5 and 6-10 are separate Palindromes. Meaning Book 5, named after a book in universe, will be KoW(t). What do we think the name might be? Seen a lot of "Knowledge of Worlds" on Facebook but, though that's a safe bet, let's try and be a bit more imaginative 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramona Tehradin Posted November 28, 2020 Report Share Posted November 28, 2020 Knights of Wind would be a nice title as well, giving a nod to Kaladin and Szeth's mission to Shinovar as well as Skybreakers/Windrunners. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uvara Posted November 28, 2020 Report Share Posted November 28, 2020 I like “Woe” for the last words, it has something ominous. Perhaps Keeper of Woe. It may refer to Odium and in a sense to a potential bittersweet resolution. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can serve the Listeners. Apparently there are hundreds of Reachers who are willing to bond Listeners. Then you also have the awaken children of Ja Sa Nat (sorry for spelling). 4 fused, several Regals (who could also become Radiant in Regal form). So all that combined would make the Listeners strong enough that no one would want to fight them. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+robardin Posted November 28, 2020 Report Share Posted November 28, 2020 Not just palindromic title initials, but also with each book's title being the name of an in-world writing. I wasn't sure how Rhythm of War would be an in-world writing, well, now I know. Basically the title of a scholarly fabrial research tract by Raboniel and Navani. So, for a "KoW" title it seems inevitable that the "o" will be "of", eh? Or maybe "on"? If the fifth book is the Szeth/Skybreakers book, "Knight of W*" makes sense, but "Winds" seems to me to be took evocative of the Order of Windrunners, despite the Skybreakers also being flyers. Also not sure how it'd be an in-world written work. Maybe "Knock on Wood." LOL 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master Silver Posted November 28, 2020 Report Share Posted November 28, 2020 If Odium wins the contest, the rest of the Cosmere might come to know the Radiants as Knights of Wrath. Rayes seemed convinced that everyone would try to destroy him after they found out about the power of surge binding. In that case, and lets say Taravangian is going to try to save the Cosmere, but everyone being conquered doesn't see it that way. An offworlder, seeing Dalinar leading some form of Fused, might write a book about it to send to the rest of the Cosmere. Jasnah or Hoid could write it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This will be a hard book to name Also it's not clear how the Palindrome exactly works: I don't think it's unreasonable that it could be KotW instead (as Roshar tends to use slightly imperfect palindromes) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mistborn Surgebinder Posted November 29, 2020 Report Share Posted November 29, 2020 K: Knight/s, King, Killer, Ketek, Kholin, Keeper Of W: Ways, Woe, Wrath, Winds, Words A few of my faves: Knight of Winds (in-world book about kaladin after he dies). King of Woe/King of Wrath. Keeper of Ways/Woe. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take it back!!!!!!!!!!!! :-) As heart breaking as losing a member of bridge four was, if Kaladin dies after coming so far, I think we'd have to petition Sanderson for a different book 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dreamwa1ker Posted November 29, 2020 Report Share Posted November 29, 2020 (edited) W could likely be Worlds now that everyone in-book is getting so Cosmere aware. E.g. Killer of Worlds (book about Odium? Ishar/about Ashyn destruction? Or Dalinar if he lost?), Knight of Worlds, Kingdom of Worlds (book about Cosmere knowledge, written by Shallan?)

Zea mays Posted November 29, 2020 Report Share Posted November 29, 2020 Wasn’t Szeth’s book intended to be “Stones Unhallowed”? So, KoW might still be specifically a Sninovar book, in-world. Um, Keepers of Weapons? (As in Honor-blades) Killer of Worlds? (History of Braise) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I think there is a little bit of hope with what Moash was saying "the only hand that can kill Stormblessed is his own." I know his depression isn't cured, but I hope that he is out of the danger zone now. It has got to be hard to kill people in plate. I'd give Syl plate for good measure. Surely she has attracted a couple of Wind Spren on her own :-) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
