The Way of Bringing Words

[Darkness he/him]

After such an impressive Title, I feel that you deserve an explanation. Now we know who the focuses of many of our books will be: (in no particular order) Kaladin, Shallan, Dalinar, Szeth, Eshonai, Jasnah, Lift, Shalash, Renarin, Taln.

So let's have some fun speculating about the possible titles of the future books! Remember that the Way of Kings doesn't really have to do with Windrunning or Kaladin (Jezrien is the kingly Herald? Getting to know the courtly intrigues?), Words of Radiance is more related to Radiant-ing in general, but could be focused to Shallan and Lightweaving specifically, and Oathbringer is Dalinar's sword. All in all, the titles probably have to do more with the plot arch than the flashback characters, but hey why not have some fun?!

You'll notice that I'm completely ignoring the whole 'titles of in-world books' thing, because a. we don't know the titles of many important or historical Rosharan books, and b. they still need to be thematically appropriate in some way.

Kaladin - The Way of Kings

Shallan - Words of Radiance

Dalinar - Oathbringer

Szeth - Stones Unhallowed is still my favorite, but maybe The Doctrines of Faith or The Broken Soul. (for the worst part of the coming desolation, trials, and struggles)

Eshonai - Discovery's Call or Resurgence. (for humanity and parshendi coming back into the light)

Jasnah - A Tomb of Knowledge or Elsecaller. (for picking up the pieces of society after a desolation, and I feel like out of the order names Elsecaller and Skybreaker have the most pizzazz lol)

Lift - Voidbringer (because Wyndle)

Shalash - Effigy of Remembrance

Renarin - Afterimage

Taln - Return to Braize (kidding). But how about Death's Journey?

 

ok, give me more titles to drool over! Go!

Just editing in my favs from you guys

I really like Darkness Unclaimed because it works on so many levels from revealing light, to releasing the odiumspren somehow, to Nalan's journey (he's Darkness), and it suits Eshonai.

I like most of Gatorgirl's. Those do sound like they could be Archive titles, and the character matching is nice. Not sure about the Arguments though

I know you said to ignore the in-world book part, but I went on the Coppermind and found the ones I think are most likely to be a later title anyways. 

Arts and Majesty- the book that defines the masculine and feminine arts. The subject matter seems like something Jasnah might discuss, but the title seems to fit Shalash perfectly. 

Nearer the Flame- a classic story about a man's descent into insanity. Seems to fit Taln best, but it might also work with Szeth or Eshonai. 

Shadows Remembered- a book of children's tales about the Voidbringers. Seems like it would fit Lift, but for some reason I'm leaning towards Renarin instead. Not sure why. 

The Arguments- part of the Vorin doctrine. I like this for Jasnah. 

Palates of Personality- a book about food. For Lift, obviously. 

Times and Passages- don't know what it's about. It sounds like it could work as a title, though. For Eshonai, maybe. 

Western Voyages- don't know what it's about. It sounds like it could work for Szeth. 

There are other books, but those are the ones I think are most likely to be titles.

Tashi's Pancake - Lift
