Are the Delvers and Calamity related?

[FlowerGirl she/her]

I noticed that both the Delvers and Calamity were acting really similar, complaining about the noise and all that. Are they the same?

[Throw TheLiving Silverware he/him/il/lui]

I have read neither Skyward nor Steelheart (yet), but I know none of them is in the cosmere. So... no, sorry.

General rule of thumb is that when our Earth is involved in any way, the book is not in the cosmere (bc Earth isn't in the cosmere)

There are similarities, but no. These take place in different universes. I think there is a WOB on this if anyone wants to look for it.

Unfortunately, there isn't a good place on the forums to discuss multiple non-Cosmere series, so I am going to move this the Skyward subforum and ask you to spoiler-tag Reckoners spoilers. Apologies for the inconvenience. 

[EmulatonStromenkiin he/him]

I have to say, that given events in Cytonic, they are not related.

Questioner

Calamity from the Reckoners series–is there any connection between him and the delvers from Starsight?

Brandon Sanderson

Yes. Very, very loose connection, but there is a connection. 

Questioner

Okay, because I was like, "They both come from the dark nowhere, quiet, they hate people and everything. There is a connection."

Brandon Sanderson

There is a connection. And Apocalypse Guard was kind of supposed to bridge between these things, but it didn't end up coming out, and it may not even be a bridge when we finally revise it because we have to make the book good, rather than worrying about that. But it was supposed to kind of do that. It's gonna work well if I can fix the ending. I've just gotta fix the ending.

Ah. That was the WOB I was thinking of. I thought it was more conclusive than that.

I wish it was! I want Apocalypse Guard so bad.

SAAAAAAAME. Hopefully we'll see it during the block of time that Brandon is writing Mistborn 8-10.

Thanks, I've been wondering about this for a while, it's nice to have an answer, even if there's no specifics.

Given Apocalypse Guard was going to be multiverse focused, I think that means that while they are related in some sense, Skyward isn't in the future of the Reckoners-verse Earth, it's a different universe (but one that could conceivably be accessed via multiverse effects).
