Acronyms for people new to the Cosmere

[SPECTRE120]

When I first joined 17thshard, I was confused about some of the acronyms. I have created a list of all the ones I can think of to make them less confusing for new people.

TFE: The Final Empire

WoA: Well of Ascension

HoA: Hero of Ages

AoL: Alloy of Law

SoS: Shadows of Self

BoM: Bands Of Mourning

TLM: The Lost Metal

TLR: The Lord Ruler

WoK: Way of Kings

WoR: Words of Radiance

OB: Oathbringer

RoW: Rhythm of War

KoWT: Knights of Wind and Truth

WoB: Words of Brandon

SotD: Sixth of the Dusk

Does anyone know of any that I've forgotten?

Great list, very thoughtful! Though I see OB for Oathbringer more than O.

[Cellit he/him]

And wouldn't this list be more convenient if it were on General Discussion Brandon and not here, as there's less chance for newbies to see this?

[SPECTRE120]

I wasn't sure where to put this. How do I move it?
