SwordNimiForPresident the sword/that sword Posted February 12, 2020 Posted February 12, 2020 (edited) I guess I’ll throw my hat in the ring for a guess as well. Knife of Wind l’m basing it on my newly minted theory that Skybreaker’s resonance lets them summon “mindblades”. edit: just realized this one was taken. I’ll amend it to Killer on the Wind. It is appropriate for Szeth’s crusade as well as what ever the end game with Moash is. Edited February 12, 2020 by SwordNimiForPresident 1
Frustration Posted February 12, 2020 Posted February 12, 2020 Killer of Worlds, Knight of the Way, Keeper of Wisdom, Something along these lines probably the last two. Keeper of wisdom is my favorite, it references Szeth knowing about the Voidbringers beforehand. 3
Bacon Posted February 12, 2020 Posted February 12, 2020 I think it's obvious that leading up to the second half of the series, the time skip will be preceded by massive shifts in plot focus, lore, and universe-breaking developments As a result, I'm pretty sure that book 5 will be called Dianetics 2
Popular Post agrabes Posted February 12, 2020 Popular Post Posted February 12, 2020 Kaladin Opens Wal-Mart In the style of Steven King and several other authors, Brandon Sanderson finally runs out of ideas and has his characters cross over into the real world to meet a fictional version of himself. The character "Brandon Sanderson" meets Kaladin and they decide to open up a new Wal-Mart in an unreached corner of rural Utah. This results in the 10 year gap as Brandon and Kaladin are busy minding their store and working their way up the corporate ladder of the Wal-Mart corporation. 22
Use the Falchion Posted February 15, 2020 Posted February 15, 2020 Killers on Winds Tethered - A history chronicling the history of Jezrien's honorblade, from the Final Desolation until Szeth-son-son-Vallano. It's like the history of the Kings Guard from Game of Thrones/ASOIAF. At the end, Szeth will add the latest history, ending with the latest holder in some poetic fashion. 4

I like this idea, so how about: King of the Wind(s)
Use the Falchion Posted March 10, 2020 Posted March 10, 2020 10 hours ago, ChickenLiberty said: I like this idea, so how about: King of the Wind(s) That's a popular guess! I'm more hesitant to say that'll be it because it reuses the world "king," but if that's the title I'd like it all the same. My other guess (a variation on a popular guess itself) is Knife of Winds Tethered...but I don't think calling Jezrien's honorblade a knife does the thing justice.
Jofwu he/him Posted March 10, 2020 Posted March 10, 2020 I've been a really big fan of the idea of using an H for one of the words. Making all the acronyms perfectly symmetrical is a nice nod to the in-world love of symmetry. I feel like using an H for one of the words is an even deeper nod though. Plus it gives Brandon more flexibility. And it makes the easter egg a bit harder to spot, which makes it cooler and more fun when people catch it. I'm also a big fan of keeping the T on the end. Brandon originally referred to book 4 as "The Rhythm of War" and then later dropped the "The". I'm fully on board with saying "articles don't count". Sure. But he dropped the extra article so that RoW would be symmetrical with WoR without needing an arbitrary "articles don't count" rule. Don't stop now! Also, with the book being Szeth's and a potential T-word in the title... I really love the idea of that final word being "Truth". That said, my favorite acronyms are HoWT or KoHT I suppose. What words should those be aside from that "T" for Truth? I haven't been able to come up with anything I love. I toyed with the idea of making the "H" be hallowed as a nod to Stones Unhallowed, but I can't come up with anything I love. 6

Keeper of wisdom is my favorite, it references Szeth knowing about the Voidbringers beforehand. Keeper(s) of Wisdom was one of my favourites too. As the POV book for Szeth, and the title needing to be an in-world book, this makes a lot of sense to me since the Shin seem to be holding significant knowledge about the past. Knight of the Wind or Killer of Worlds make sense, again in reference to the Shin and Szeth. The latter being an account of the the destruction of the Shin home world. OR we could go full DiCaprio and call it King of the World 1
aandreww101 Posted December 15, 2020 Posted December 15, 2020 Conspiracy time! I'll toss in my few guesses, based on ways I think book 5 can seemingly go at its end, making way for the second set of 5 SA books to round out the 10 planned. Kin of Wills/Worlds (Odium loses, assumes peace is made with an alliance between all Rosharans, maybe making contact with another shardworld in the process. As an in-world book, maybe it would be a collaboration between spren, scholars, and worldsingers to document all of Roshar, or perhaps from the perspective of a sympathetic worldhopper, wanting to share all they've witnessed in the recent Rosharan events) Kindling/Key of Worlds (introducing a Dawnshard hunt for the next half, maybe hinting at interplanetary travel or finding a breakthrough in worldhopping. As an in-world book, lore about the Shattering, Adonalsium, the Dawnshards, or a true history of Roshar from the perspective of the Ashyn refugees who first came to it, maybe kept hidden by the Shin elders? This is the most likely/promising imo, since we have a lot of stuff pushing SA into a wider cosmere narrative with RoW, and these broader concepts and powers will probably be big movers of the second half of SA, especially as investiture and realmatic theory can become culturally mainstream and experimented with) Kingdom of Watchers (Odium "loses", retreating on purpose to bide time and plan, and the Radiants have 1000 years to prepare and progress before the second half. As an in-world book, it would serve as a sort of "new history" of the Radiants, written down as they solidify, train, and ready themselves for when they'll next need to defend their world from the forces that be.) 1
