zakotheshadows5 Posted March 7, 2018 Posted March 7, 2018 Fellow Cosmerians, aside from Aether of Night and the first few chapters of the Liar of Partinel, are there any other unpublished cosmere-related books/novellas?? Not including everything in Arcanum Unbound. Thanks!!

zakotheshadows5 Posted March 8, 2018 Author Posted March 8, 2018 No way!! I though I read that that is forthcoming. Did Martin Skreli buy the one copy lmao?!?
Scion of the Mists Posted March 8, 2018 Posted March 8, 2018 There's the Prose version of White Sand, which you can get by signing up for his newsletter.
Weltall Posted March 8, 2018 Posted March 8, 2018 There are quite a few unpublished works, how many of them are available is a completely different pot of Horneater stew. - White Sand Prime and Lord Mastrell were earlier drafts that were later combined and polished into White Sand (Prose). Brandon doesn't give the older versions out but as mentioned you can get the 'final' version from Brandon's newsletter. - Mistborn Prime and Final Empire Prime were two unrelated works that were later cannibalized to form the basis of Mistborn: The Final Empire. Mistborn Prime has an early version of allomancy but not the setting, Final Empire Prime has the setting and proto-feruchemy along with early versions of Vin (male here) and the Lord Ruler. You can find the Prologue to the former and two chapters from the latter on Brandon's website but not the full books. I've heard Brandon will give out Mistborn Prime to people who ask for it specifically but not Final Empire Prime. Don't know if that would still be the case now that he's changed how people can request/acquire the two drafts that he usually gives out. - The Way of Kings Prime has had several chapters released to the public (mostly focusing on Merin, who became Kaladin in the published version) and Brandon has on occasion mentioned plans to release the full thing eventually. Probably won't be for quite a while. - Mythwalker (aka Warbreaker Prime) was never completed but Brandon made the entire existing draft available on his website. Aside from the obvious plotline that he cannibalized for Warbreaker, he's also incorporated elements of this work into Mistborn and The Way of Kings. - You know about Aether, which is slated for a rewrite at which point we can officially redub the current draft 'Aether of Night Prime'. - Dragonsteel Prime is in the same position of being up for a rewrite and it is technically possible to read the complete book but you need to have access to a library that can request it on an interlibrary loan or you have to physically go to BYU and read it there. And it's on the list of Things Nobody Can Talk About so even if you do get to read it, you couldn't discuss it publicly. Brandon released the chapters which he cannibalized for The Way of Kings (where the Shattered Plains setting and Bridge Four came from) and those can be talked about on the Unpublished Works board. Brandon also kinda discourages people from reading this - Lastly I suppose you could count The Silence Divine, a novella set on Ashyn which Brandon has done some writing for (you can find a transcription of a reading he did from its prologue on here) but hasn't finished it.
