Skyward is Cosmere endgame

(I am well aware this is not true, and that Skyward is NOT Cosmere. I just thought it was amusing and decided to post it as a joke.)

In the description of Skyward that Brandon has on his website, humanity is fighting a species of alien called the Krell in a brutal space war. A search of the Coppermind reveals that this is not the first time a species called the Krell has appeared in one of Brandon's works. They are also an animal that lives on First of the Sun. What else appears in the story Sixth of the Dusk? Spaceships! Coincidence? I think not.

Clearly Skyward is Cosmere endgame, taking place after the novella Sixth of the Dusk, which we know is near the end of the Cosmere. At some point between these two stories, the Krell must have evolved from simple animals to creatures of human intelligence. They then stole some spaceships from the Ones Above and began to spread throughout the Cosmere, destroying humans as they went. How or why they are doing this is not yet known. Is it some plan by Autonomy to spread her influence? Is Odium finally succeeding in his desire to destroy humanity? Or was this truly Adonalsium's plan all along?

I doubt Skyward will give the answers to any of these questions, as Brandon will wish to keep the mysteries of the Cosmere alive. But perhaps this knowledge will shed some light on where he plans to go.

Good thing you had that disclaimer, because I was about to jump in and forcefully tell you how wrong you were.
