Popular Post Oversleep Posted June 14, 2017 Popular Post Report Share Posted June 14, 2017 (edited) Some time ago I've put together a timeline of books. I've decided to translate it to English and post it with sources, so I went and searched for the WoBs to put them in the timeline. I haven't found all of those I was using at the time (see the end of this post) but I've also found some I haven't seen before, so... profit? Enjoy. Order of series: Dragonsteel White Sand Elantris Mistborn First Era Warbreaker Stormlight Archive (first pentalogy) Mistborn Second Era Stormlight Archive (second pentalogy) Mistborn Third Era Mistborn Fourth Era ------------------------------------------- Order of the books: (Entries not bolded have not been released yet) Dragonsteel White Sand (before Elantris) Elantris & Hope of Elantris (long before Mistborn First Era, but not thousands of years)Emperor’s Soul (technology didn’t change since Elantris so probably not much more than decades #2) Eleventh Metal The Final Empire Well of Ascension Hero of Ages (341 years before Alloy of Law) Warbreaker (closer than farther to Way of Kings) (between HoA and WoK #1 #2 #3)Shadows for Silence in the Forests of Hell (in the latter part of timeline but before Way Of Kings: #1 #2, and FAQ – if it’s correct – says it’s after Warbreaker) Nightblood (we don’t know whether it’s after Shadows for Silence..., but it’s before Stormlight Archive) Way of Kings (happens 300ish years after Hero Of Ages)Words of Radiance EdgedancerOathbringer Stormlight Archive, book four (Rhythm of War) Stormlight Archive, book five (about 15 years before Stormlight 6 but the gap may as well be 10 or 20 years #1 #2 #3 #4) Alloy of Law (341 years after Hero Of Ages)(it’s after Stormlight 5 but we don’t know if it’s before Stormlight 6. It could also be after Stormlight 7.)Shadows of Self (year after Alloy of Law)Bands of Mourning (half a year after Shadows of Self) Lost Metal Stormlight Archive, book six (about 15 years after Stormlight 5) Stormlight Archive, book seven Stormlight Archive, book eight Stormlight Archive, book nine Stormlight Archive, book ten Mistborn Third Era (modern times, around 80s)(probably roughly about 50 years after Second Era) Sixth of the Dusk (just before Mistborn Fourth Era #1) Mistborn Fourth Era (sci-fi) ------------------------------------------- WoBs I cannot find now but I'm sure they exist since when I was putting together this timeline I was strictly going off only WoBs: the gap between Stormlight 5 and 6 could be 20 years (specifically 20 years, 10 and 15 I have sourced already) Warbreaker being closer than farther to Way of Kings Edited September 16, 2019 by Oversleep 36 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calderis he/him Posted June 14, 2017 Report Share Posted June 14, 2017 Thanks for taking the time to translate this from your original. It'll be nice to have a reference. Bookmarked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Extesian he/him Posted June 14, 2017 Report Share Posted June 14, 2017 Love it Oversleep!! I think this is the SA5-6 gap you were looking for Quote WEIRYWRITER Are some of the [interlude] characters going to be making re-appearances? BRANDON SANDERSON Yes some of them will, I’m seeding characters who will become main characters later in the series by what I’m doing in that book, in those interludes. Not all of them will be. I have ten characters that are forming the spine for this series-- and like Lift is one of the ones who is going to be in the back five books which will take place-- After Book 5 of Stormlight we will have a break, in-world, for about fifteen years. Not out of the world, not in our world, but we will have a break and when we come back fifteen years or so will have passed and we will start on the back five characters Source I'm not sure about the Warbreaker one. Maybe this but it's oooold Quote WINDRUNNER Hey Brandon I just want to start out by thanking you for writing such wonderful books, one read-through TWoK made you my favorite author. I cannot wait for Emperor's Soul so I can get some new cosmere information! As a 17th Sharder I have to ask at least two timeline questions. When is Emperor's Soul set chronologically in relation to Elantris? Because if its around the same time Teod and Arelon might not have to stand alone against the Fjordell Empire. My other question is also a timeline one. (There are a lot of those tonight haha) I heard you had to move TWoK a little bit due to some plot constraints. So does Warbreaker still fall around the same time as AoL or has that shifted as well? I understand if you don't have time to answer these, I know authors are busy. Its great to see one such as yourself interacting with your fans. Thanks again for providing me with books that I've speculated for hours about! Thanks for the kind words! Emperor's Soul is after Elantris, but not too long after. It is before Mistborn. Second question is that I've moved things so that TWoK is around the same time as AoL, forced by some behind-the-scenes events. Warbreaker now happens before AoL.

Source No, I have both of these linked already. The SA gap WoB I'm looking for is one that says about 20 years (or perhaps it says it's "10-20 years" or "15-20 years" or anything of the sort). I'm not sure about the Warbreaker one, it could have been something I derived from other WoBs. I'll go dig in Pagerunner's Reddit WoB database and see what else I can find.

+Extesian he/him Posted June 14, 2017 Report Share Posted June 14, 2017 Ha I'm sorry mate, in my rush to help I didn't take the time to see what you'd already linked I'll see if I can track them down (if you don't first). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe ST he/him Posted June 22, 2017 Report Share Posted June 22, 2017 it would be awesome if you could integrate this information into the various chronology parts of the coppermind (for example this section would be useful of all your references) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Second, I want to hunt for more WoBs (I'm sure they're out there somewhere) but I have no time for that right now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
