Cemci she/her Posted November 6, 2015 Posted November 6, 2015 Oathbringer is a bit different from the previous Way of Kings and Words of Radiance - a one-word title instead of three words. Highprince of War would continue that trend - WoK and WoR and HoW. Since we don't know what exactly will be in the book, Highprince of War refers to Dalinar's current title, whereas Oathbringer refers to his Shardblade, which he gave up before becoming Highprince of War. 2
WayneSpren he/him Posted November 6, 2015 Posted November 6, 2015 The Way of Kings and Words of Radiance are both books. That seems a little odd to me. 1

KnightGradient Posted November 6, 2015 Posted November 6, 2015 Storms. I kept hoping beyond all reason it was Stones Unhallowed, since by the end of WoR we're in Urithiru. But my second hope was Oathbringer, so yay I guess. But nice job getting that dude. 2
Cemci she/her Posted November 6, 2015 Posted November 6, 2015 The Way of Kings and Words of Radiance are both books. That seems a little odd to me. Brandon did that on purpose, begging the question - Oathbringer? So far he's named books after in-universe books, so naming another book after a sword is unusual - UNLESS Oathbringer was named for a book, which is unlikely....

Brandon has said he didn't mean for there to be a trend going where the titles of his books were books in the story, it just so happened to be that way. Stones Unhallowed I would very much doubt is a book.
Stormgate he/him Posted November 6, 2015 Posted November 6, 2015 Call me the voicer of a Death Rattle, the title will be Oathbringer. No, I'm not actually dying.

Brandon has said that Oathbringer is the name of a book in-world. Brandon has said he didn't mean for there to be a trend going where the titles of his books were books in the story, it just so happened to be that way. Stones Unhallowed I would very much doubt is a book. That's actually the opposite of what is going on. Brandon definitely planned on all of the titles being in-world books, that is why the series is named The Stormlight Archive. 8
Guest Posted November 6, 2015 Posted November 6, 2015 I am personally very interested on reading a book named after a book named after a Shardblade...
Young Bard he/him Posted November 6, 2015 Posted November 6, 2015 The Shardblade might be based on the name of the book... you never know . 1
Guest Posted November 6, 2015 Posted November 6, 2015 The Shardblade might be based on the name of the book... you never know . Yeah, but I like the idea the book is about the Shardblade...
hypatia she/her Posted November 21, 2015 Posted November 21, 2015 Perhaps this can help: Mr Sanderson is writing parts of a book in a book. Both titles - Highprince of War and Oathbringer - are possible, only at the moment he prefers Oathbringer. I don't think there will be two versions of book 3 - both titles refering to the very same in-world book. What's a possible connection between a Highprince of War and a blade named Oathbringer?

I don't think there will be two versions of book 3 - both titles refering to the very same in-world book. What's a possible connection between a Highprince of War and a blade named Oathbringer? The connection could be Dalinar was not meant to be the "Highprince of War". It could be he was initially meant to be a dead flashback character and while we would be reading his past life, the main story arc would have dealt with other characters. It could the book "Highprince of War" is NOT relevant to Dalinar's character, but by changing the order of the flashbacks, Brandon chose another in-world book to fit better with the story. He initially wanted to name it "Stones Unhallowed", but changed his mind when he changed he flashback characters. The book was likely tied to the Shins, which means he postponed that story arc for a later book. All in all, I think he changed his planning slightly and the book he initially chose did not work within the main story arc anymore, hence "Oathbringer".
hypatia she/her Posted November 21, 2015 Posted November 21, 2015 Yes, I know all of this. I don't make a connection to Dalinar, only to this in-world book. He writes a book in the book and for this he prefers Oathbringer, but Highprince of War is also possible - whichever title he will choose, it is the same story in the book. I wasn't talking about book 3, only about this book in the book and for this both titles are possible, they fit to the book that plays a role in Dalinar's book. (And yes, I know I'm rambling....that's the problem with a title of a book in a book with the same title...)
Rellar he/him Posted December 2, 2015 Posted December 2, 2015 I prefer Dalinar and Hoid's Excellent Adventure. We seriously need atleast a small book with various stories with Hoid. Just him traveling around doing rust would be amazing.
Stormgate he/him Posted December 2, 2015 Posted December 2, 2015 Yes, but you can only have so much Hoid in one place before you start yammering in Pig Alethi and screaming about sticks.
Mr. Mister Posted December 2, 2015 Posted December 2, 2015 (edited) If anything, "Oathbringer" sounds more like an in-universe book than "Highprince of War", unless it's just a straight-up autobiography. "Warring as Oathbringer(s)" or "War for an Oathbringer" sounds more like a recopilation of one's thouhts of leadership during war, in contrast to "The way of Kings" which, Dalinar realised, deals with leadership only during peace, and also is in the same style as WoK and WoR.
