Thanatos Posted March 18, 2022 Posted March 18, 2022 (edited) Is there a pattern to the Stormlight book names? Way of Kings. Words of Radiance. Oathbreaker. Rhythm of War. Is the next book going to be KoW? Oathbreaker being the middle which puts the acronyms backwards. 1. WoK. 2. WoR. 3. OB. 4. RoW. (WoR backwards). 5. KoW. ??? Edited March 18, 2022 by Thanatos
PurpurPhönix he/him Posted March 18, 2022 Posted March 18, 2022 It could be even stronger since Oathbreaker is just one word so you could also just use the acronym O and it could be made into a true palindrome And of course we know that the Alethi and other Vorin nations do love palindromes and symmetry so it very well might be
Kandrafish Posted March 18, 2022 Posted March 18, 2022 Yes, Brandon has confirmed that he is trying to make a pattern. (T)WoK, WoR, O, RoW, KoW(T) It was something he wanted to do and then changed his mind a few times over, I think. He wasn't sure if it was feasible. On his podcast with Dan Wells, Dan tried a few names and Brandon mentioned that he might be including the "The" from The Way of Kings... Short Answer: Yes, there is a pattern. Pattern would say that I am lying, though, because it is just initials. 2
Thanatos Posted March 18, 2022 Author Posted March 18, 2022 (edited) For fun, what could KoW be? Kings of War? Kamerad of Wanhope. Lol. The Kin of Worlds. (Roshar wise). The Knowledge of Whimsy. Lol. The Killer of Worlds. enter Autonomy, what did you do with Ryse!!! Edited March 18, 2022 by Thanatos
Lego Mistborn he/him Posted March 18, 2022 Posted March 18, 2022 Wheel of Time Crossover: The Knights of (the) Ways
Thaidakar the Ghostblood he/him Posted March 18, 2022 Posted March 18, 2022 Keepers of Withered Time. Killers of Wrathful Toads. 2
Milk Posted March 19, 2022 Posted March 19, 2022 Yes, the initials of the books form a ketek. (It's specifically divisible into five parts) Brandon has a tentative title for Book 5; Knights of Woeful Truth, which would be shortened to KoWT. 1
Fezzik Posted March 19, 2022 Posted March 19, 2022 Spoiler 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. https://wob.coppermind.net/events/484/#e15376 He says knight or knights of is likely to be the first two words, it's just the last ones that are up in the air. My suggestion is Knights of Wisdom and Truth

My suggestion is Knights of Wisdom and Truth The issue with this is, if you're including the "T" from tWoK, you'll probably have to include the "A" from Wisdom and Truth. "Knights of" is a solid start, but personally I feel we already had an in world book about the radiants, so I'm hoping for something else. Maybe "Knowledge of" as the begin... "Knowledge of War Time" - an in world military treatise "Knowledge Obtained While Travelling" - an in world philosophical work, written by Shauka-daughter-Hasweth preferably =) "Knowledge of Whimsical Turtles" - an in world zoological survey of Santhids
