Future common timelines and the Iriali

[+Oltux72 he/him]

Is that just me or are Era 3 and Roshar rejoining the progression of time of the rest of the Cosmere going to happen at the same time? Coincidence? Does this mean that Era 3 will have serious mixing of cultures and magic systems, including Rosharan stuff? Not like contemporary Earth but like in the age of sail, that is in the trade city around the perpendicularity and the capital you will have a visible offworld community, in rural settings they will be unknown and planets with literate population will be basically universally cosmere aware? Like in 1880 or so, you could theoretically go to vacation in Australia from England. It would just cost you an astonishing sum and take the better part of a year.

Secondly, this explains the Skybreakers and Iriali on Scadrial. And it explains why MeLaan met Horneater refugees who hadn't yet resettled.

All in all, this will leave Roshar, which has just been hit even harder, as they need to adjust to the Everstorm, with a huge initial technological disadvantage as contact is reestablished in earnest. However, their main magical disadvantage, that you cannot take spren into other solar systems has just been removed.

Finally can we take this as confirmation that the Iriali are headed for Scadrial?
