Updating Cosmere Template (SP3 Spoilers)

[Firesong she/her]

I see we updated the Cosmere Template to have Virtuosity, but I feel we should also include Lumar, Komashi, and UTol as planets. Given Lumar and Komashi are central planets in their respective books (and we don't just include the very important planets, as we did include things like First of the Sun and Obrodai), and UTol was implied to be very important and well known in the cosmere.

Thanks for drawing attention to this! I noticed when adding Virtuosity that the planets row wasn't updated after TLM either and thought it was a thing we might need to have a (hopefully brief) Keeper chat about (e.g., do we want to keep including all planets, keep systems together, split planets up by significance, etc.). Probably needs a few other updates for things like the Dawnshards as well. We have some other things I think we need to clear off our plate at the moment, but I was hoping to bring it up soon.

I know I am not a Keeper, but as an editor I want to give my views. 

I think it best to include planets based on two factors 

1: Importance to a book (for the most part, the planet it takes place on. But for Roshar this of course includes Braize and Ashyn as well)

2: Importance to the cosmere (So, for instance, things like Yolen, which, despite not being important to any one book, is important to the cosmere at large)

So if something fits 1 and not 2, like for instance, Lumar or First of the Sun, it would fit. 

If something fits 2 but not 1, it would fit. Like Yolen, for the biggest example. 

But if it doesn't fit either, like Obrodai or any of the planets described in the Archanum Unbounded Maps, it won't be included.

So:

Quote

Ashyn · Braize · First of the Sun · Komashi · Lumar · Nalthis · Roshar · Scadrial · Sel · Taldain · Threnody · UTol ·  Vax · Yolen

Not too sure about Vax as we technically aren't even sure if it is a planet. Brandon has been very careful about what exactly it is. 

That is just my 2 cents on the matter.
