Handerwym and Jak

[whattheHoid she/her]

Hey, so I had to just get this off my chest. I just finished "The Pits of Eltania" short story and it was hilarious! My biggest hope is that we get to see a novel of Jak and my favorite, Handerwym! I absolutely loved his footnotes! They reminded me of a book I read way long ago, "The Amulet of Samarkand"? I think that's what it was called? Anyways there was a snarky demon, I think Bartimaeus? He did footnotes that were just as hilarious as I remember it. To end my ramble, I love Handerwym and hope that he gets to meet Wayne and have him write a story with footnotes! It's one of my many dreams for the Cosmere. ;D

The Bartimaeus Trilogy, yep.

We know Jak could potentially meet the Era 2 crew since Wax mentions him and comments that even if he's a blowhard he actually has been out in the Roughs. I doubt we'd get an Allomancer Jak novella (not counting possible 'excerpts' in the inevitable Lost Metal broadsheet) but Isaac mentioned recently that he's working on an outline for a Nicki Savage story that may be written at some point. My guess is that unless there's another MAG suppliment that will close out Era 2 and Brandon writes a story for it (neither of which is guaranteed) he's probably going to close the door on more Era 2 projects once TLM is out. Well, aside from potentially setting another Secret History book during the time period, like he did with the first book and Era 1.

But Brandon did say in the postscript in Arcanum Unbounded that Handerwym's annotations were one of his favorite things he's done, so maybe we'll see something similar again when the stars are right, whether in Mistborn or somewhere else.
