5 Ixthos he/him Posted September 19, 2019 Report Share Posted September 19, 2019 Brandon has a core structure to the Cosmere with Elantris, Mistborn, Stormlight Archive, and Dragonsteel as the main series, with side series such as Warbreaker and Arcanum Unbounded as supplemental stories that add to the whole but aren't needed to fully understand it. The core books, however, tell the entire arc, and together are the hidden plot for the Cosmere. Internally, Dragonsteel chronologically comes before all the other novels, followed by Elantris, then the first Mistborn novels, then Stormlight, and then the last Mistborn novels. In terms of how Brandon has said he intends to publish them, the order is slightly different: Elantris book 1 (published) Mistborn era one trilogy (published) Stormlight archive first five books / Mistborn era two quadrilogy (concurrently written and published) (in progress) Elantris book 2 (and maybe 3) (unpublished) Mistborn era three trilogy - 1980's (unpublished) Stormlight archive last five books (unpublished) Dragonsteel series (unpublished) Mistborn era four trilogy - space opera (unpublished, last series to be published) This doesn't take into account any side novels, which can be interspersed with the others, and so there might be other side novels after Mistborn 4, or between releases, which are not essential to the main story. See here: https://wob.coppermind.net/events/124/#e1802 and https://www.17thshard.com/forum/topic/57305-the-original-cosmere-outline/. In general check the Arcanum tags for Cosmere sequence, Elantris sequence, etc. In short, Dragonsteel, followed by Mistborn era four, are the last novels, but there might be side stories after they are published. Hope this helped! 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We all make mistakes :-) the number of times I've misremembered something sometimes amazes me. With regards to White Sand, that is a side story much like Warbreaker, in that as Brandon originally outlined the Cosmere it wasn't necessary to read it in order to understand the whole story, much the same way Warbreaker adds to Oathbringer - and the end of Words of Radiance - but isn't needed to understand it.

0 +robardin he/him Posted October 4, 2019 Report Share Posted October 4, 2019 As far as works set in a late Cosmere timeframe (as opposed to being written/published last), the novella Sixth of the Dusk is implied to take place in or after "Mistborn 4: Metalborn In Space", because the Ones Above arrive to First of the Sun by spaceship. And he's mentioned elsewhere that some combination of Allomancy and Feruchemy will lead to the Cosmere's first FTL spacefaring (Cosmerenauts?). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Wander89 he/him Posted October 4, 2019 Report Share Posted October 4, 2019 I hope it's a book with the Cosmere-nauts or a book long Epilogue! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean the entirety of Mistborn E4 might as well be an epilogue, just one for the entire series. But it will be a space opera, reportedly, so you'll get your Cosmere-nauts.
