Xtremehappyface Posted August 30, 2017 Report Share Posted August 30, 2017 I've been trying to find "The Silence Divine" but can't seem to find it. I see that it was a novella and the title was to change, but did it ever change? To what? Is it "The Emperor's soul"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2 Weltall Posted August 30, 2017 Report Share Posted August 30, 2017 Brandon still calls it The Silence Divine in the most recent State of the Sanderson and the plan is still for it to be set on Ashyn and focus on disease-based magic.The work is unfinished and with no indication when he'll finish it but it's not been abandoned. He did a reading of part of its prologue during the Words of Radiance tour, here's a recording someone made. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1 Calderis Posted August 30, 2017 Report Share Posted August 30, 2017 The Silence Divine was planned for the story of Ashyn. The name was supposed to be changed because of its similarities to "Shadows For Silence in the Forests of Hell." As far as I know it has not been written/released in any way. I could be totally wrong though... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Viruses and bacteria grant powers for the duration of the illness. When your immune system fights them off. No more magic. Crazy huh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's meant to be an "evolutionary" thing to help diseases survive. You aren't exactly gonna rush to eradicate/cure diseases when they let you fly/shoot lasers/etc... now are you? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 SilverTiger Posted September 13, 2017 Report Share Posted September 13, 2017 Any ideas as to when it will come out? B/c I really would like to know more about Ashyn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 SilverTiger Posted September 13, 2017 Report Share Posted September 13, 2017 (edited) I actually meant when will the story be published, because the version he read was an incomplete version of the first draft. Also, is there a thread for theorizing about Ashyn? Because I don't want to start a thread if there already is one.

According to Brandon's latest writing schedule, there is a window in spring 2018 where he plans to write a novella, which could be it, but it could be any number of planned stories, cosmere or non-cosmere. After that, he plans on going full Stormlight until Book 5 is done, with one novella between them. So, maybe a 25% chance of getting it in the next five years or so. So don't hold your breath. There might be an ancient thread on disease magic, and I think there was some discussion in the thread linked above. But since there's so little we know about it, there hasn't been too much dedicated discussion. I'd say feel free to start a thread, if you have something specific to ask or suggest.

I've been trying to find "The Silence Divine" but can't seem to find it. I see that it was a novella and the title was to change, but did it ever change? To what? Is it "The Emperor's soul"?
