So, the Sequel has a Name

[Mark Lindberg he/him]

I couldn't find this anywhere on the boards, so I figured I should post it here.

 

 

WHAT DOES IT MEAN?

[Joe ST he/him]

According to wikipedia, its related (unsurprisingly) to the Aztek. Aztlán

[WeiryWriter he/him]

Which makes sense since the sequel is supposed to be taking place in South America and have a Native American viewpoint in it.  This was my personal favorite thing revealed in the SLC Comic-Con audio but there is a lot of neat stuff in there, and it's definitely worth the wait (we are nearly there so it should be posted soon-ish).

Dear Brandon,

 

Please write the sequel to The Rithmatist

 

Thanks.

[Newan he/him]

Wikipedia said that Aztlan could have been in what is now northwestern Mexico or southeastern US.  Soooo... does that relate to the cave paintings mentioned in the book?

[Orion2001]

It probaly does have something to do with cave paintings

[WeiryWriter he/him]

Correction mine. 

 

I apologize if that's kinda obnoxious of me, but the correct term, if you can't use the tribe name, if indigenous people. I'm very touchy about things like this. Sorry. 

 

My apologies if I caused any offense, I've always been taught that Native American was the "correct" term. I've never seen it discussed as problematic.  Please send me a PM, I'd like to know more.

[Elbereth she/her]

I was also taught that Native American was correct. On the other hand, my American History textbook only uses "American Indian" or "Indian", which... is very irritating.

We might be getting the sequel sooner than we thought; although its still unclear at this point. This from the Krammer Reading facebook page:

Another Brandon Sanderson(I think it will be part of The Rithmatist series--I don't have all the details  yet) later this fall (Macmillan).  And for the civil war buffs, a gorgeous story about journalist Sam Wilkeson and his son Bayard (Blackstone).

So... Sorry to be off topic, but where would one find something such as fanfictions here?

The creator's corner board has a fanfiction subforum.

thanks. I might look into it. I kinda want to see how all these idea about his books are put into stories.

[Vogelsang he/him]

No matter how hard I try the sequel's name keeps slipping my mind. It starts with an "A" right? 

[Vogelsang he/him]

Awaiting 2017 State of the Sanderson, hopefully we're closer to the release of Rithmatist's sequel.

Aztlantian, correct?

[GiveMeASpren(I'mCrazy)]

Don't you guys think that a book about chalkings (giant 2-dimensional line-based creatures) taking place in south america is obviously referring to Nazca lines?

It certainly feels like he should be. Nalizar said some stuff that I want an explanation for. As it is, I don't think I'd be too disappointed if the focus switched to someone else.
