Necessary Eagle she/her Posted November 28, 2020 Posted November 28, 2020 Quote Questioner Any new Dustbringers in Stormlight Four? Brandon Sanderson Yes, there will be. Skyward Chicago signing (Nov. 16, 2018) I'd been hoping it would be the Herdazian general-- and I still think he is one-- but since he hasn't shown any overt powers, the Mink wouldn't be any "newer" this book than the last one. Did I miss something, or are the only new Releasers in RoW Taravangian/Malata's collection of malcontents? Because I guess Brandon never promised that they'd have names... or lines ... or actually appear on-page or impact the plot... but that'd be kind of disappointing. *sigh* *prepares self for disappointment*
Toaster Retribution he/him Posted November 28, 2020 Posted November 28, 2020 Remember that Brandon gave this quote back in 2018, and some things, often around characters, change as he is writing the books. He might have believed that Mink would have been confirmed Dustbringer in this one, but had to move it to 5 or something. Or he planned to show Chana, but moved her. I would attribute it to a structural change, which happens during the writing at times. He said Axies would probably be in the book as well, but he wasn't. So that is probably the easiest explanation. 1
Necessary Eagle she/her Posted November 29, 2020 Author Posted November 29, 2020 I suppose that makes sense. Or he incorporated some of what would have been in RoW into Dawnshard. (Do I have to spoiler tag that? Because if I I said "[DS](spoiler tag stuff)" that would say exactly as much as not tagging it in the first place).
