New WoB: Oathgates/Transportation Surge


Aether

Recommended Posts

I am surprised no one else have noticed this - or at least not started a topic on it - but Brandon slipped a major worldbuilding element into his latest "Wheel of Time Retrospective". Without further ado:

 

 

A few more things got spun into this sequence. One was my desire to expand the usage of gateways in the series. For years, as an aspiring writer, I imagined how I would use gateways if writing a book that included them. I went so far as to include in the Stormlight Archive a magic system built around a similar teleportation mechanic.

Now, I assume that he is referring to either the perennially obscure Oathgates or giving us a hint as to how the Transportation Surge is going to work. It true he doesn't give any direct hints as to what exactly he's talking about, but I feel it's a safe bet that he's talking about one or the other.

 

So, fellow theoreticians, thoughts?
