Hoid Slayer He/Him Posted December 3, 2024 Posted December 3, 2024 Hey guys, I don't know if this should go here or in the Stormlight forum, but I figured this would be the most fitting. In my preparation for Wind and Truth, I have (far too late) begun to explore the wider cosmere, and become aware of the slew of easter eggs between novels. Since I won't have time to reread the first four books of SA, I was hoping you could provide me with some list of all the most important crossovers and easter eggs from other series. Before the release of WaT, I plan to have read as much of the cosmere as possible, but I'm unlikely to finish it all due to a combination of lack of access to books and lack of time, so I would really appreciate it that any crossovers you include are hidden by spoiler tags clearly labeling the book they are from. Example: (Warbreaker) Spoiler Zahel is Vasher. I will still be checking this after the release of Wind and Truth, by the way, since it will be a couple of weeks before I get it.

Wow, there is a lot. You may or may not find this useful - Paleo and Jofwu's Cosmere Github Project (Discussed in this thread) - I've turned off all info except Stormlight Archive, Mistborn and Warbreaker for that link - as well as Major and Significant spoilers Spoiler Also the Interactive Roshar map (also available from the main bar above, under "more") will let you examine things from teh books, as plotted on the map, by timeline.

I started my cosmere journey in January with the Way of Kings, and have now read the full Stormlight Archive (looking forward to Wind and Truth), Warbreaker, and I am now reading the Mistborn original trilogy. I’ve been browsing the shard for a while now and chose to join to share some of my theories. My pronouns are he/him. I look forward to engaging with many of you on the Seventeenth Shard! From your intro post - is this still accurate? (please see the Sharder FAQ if you need tips on editing a post - or other good-to-knows). Here's a test example to make sure the information is in a format you would like (very minor spoilers about books, not people or events): The Way of Kings: Spoiler White Sand, Elantris, Mistborn Era 1: Spoiler Grump, Blunt and Thinker are aliases for somebody from each of these locations The Letter (Epigraphs) - References: Spoiler Mistborn:Secret History Elantris White Sand Dragonsteel Prime (Curiosity - non-Canon): Spoiler Frost the character referenced is still Canon - though the events of the story are not Seventeenth Shard: Spoiler Is the Worldhopper organization of non-interference to which Grump, Blunt, and Thinker belong. Also, please see AonEne's Locations for Internet Content such as the Jasnah Deleted Scene from Words of Radiance. Hope that helps, and I'll post more once I know how much detail you want, and that this format is acceptable. Edited December 3, 2024 by Treamayne SPAG 1

Expand From your intro post - is this still accurate? (please see the Sharder FAQ if you need tips on editing a post - or other good-to-knows). When I made that post, I was just starting Well of Ascension. Since then, I have finished the original trilogy and am now making my way through the Alloy of Law. 7 hours ago, Treamayne said: Here's a test example to make sure the information is in a format you would like (very minor spoilers about books, not people or events): The Way of Kings: Reveal hidden contents White Sand, Elantris, Mistborn Era 1: Reveal hidden contents Grump, Blunt and Thinker are aliases for somebody from each of these locations The Letter (Epigraphs) - References: Reveal hidden contents Mistborn:Secret History Elantris White Sand Dragonsteel Prime (Curiosity - non-Canon): Reveal hidden contents Frost the character referenced is still Canon - though the events of the story are not Seventeenth Shard: Reveal hidden contents Is the Worldhopper organization of non-interference to which Grump, Blunt, and Thinker belong.
