Ripheus23 Posted January 14, 2025 Posted January 14, 2025 Premise (guess/assumption): there's still a ketek in play, only it's folded in on itself, like the double-eye of the Almighty, and zig-zags on the inside for each set of the three middle books per five-book period. Rules: "H" can be used at any relevant point, the prepositions/connectives don't count. So: WK WR OB (I say this because I can't come up with any good words that start with "O" that would make for a good book-8 title except maybe "Origins," like if someone goes to the Origin) RW WT TW, or HW, or TH WR (flips RW for (4), but also copies over from (2)), or HR, or WH BO, or HO, or BH HW (I'm set on this one using the "H"-rule) KW, HW again, or KH So in total the ketek is acronymed as WKWROBRWWT::TWWRBOHWKW Argument for (9): it's Taln's flashback book (I think???), he's the Herald of War, (4) was Rhythm of War, so (9) = Herald of War Guess for (10): something about kings, Heralds, Honor, or wind, like The King of the Wind maybe 'cuz Kaladin and Co. save the world. If (9) is Herald of War, I'd not expect (10) to have the word "Herald" in its title, though. General counterargument: would someone write an in-world book about Taln, though? Or Kaladin again? We already have Knights of Wind and Truth as an in-world book, would be kinda odd to duplicate that vs. WT/KW, unless the multiple-symmetries idea holds that deeply. 2
