aneonfoxtribute Posted December 15, 2020 Report Share Posted December 15, 2020 I wonder if it will just be focused on Scadrians, or if members of the main cast will be from off world. Like members of the main cast will be from different worlds and have the various different magic systems and they're running around doing stuff. It also ties into a question of if it'll have only.one primary POV like the other Mistborn series or if it'll have a lot of different perspectives a la Stormlight 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quantus he/him Posted December 15, 2020 Report Share Posted December 15, 2020 (edited) The latter. It's going to feature various forms of World-hopping and cultural interaction. It's goin to be the "crossover novels" and "Cosmere all-world Mashup", and more or less the finale of the Cosmere itself, being released after we've gotten the Dragonsteel prequel that will explain so much. EDIT: on the POV question, Im guessing it will have more Stormlight-like POV's and size, given that it's intended to deliver the finale to the whole Cosmere, and I have to think that would be harder with more restricted POV options. Quote Renian When will we see a book that basically revolves around the concept of the Cosmere and the shard-travelers? Basically, a book revolving around people like Hoid who can jump from shard to shard. Brandon Sanderson Third Mistborn Trilogy involves a lot of this. I MIGHT do some parallel stories showing more of what Hoid has been up to. He is a primary viewpoint protagonist of Dragonsteel, but that happens before all of the other books. /r/fantasy AMA 2011 (Aug. 31, 2011) Quote CoffeeArchives Starting with the Cosmere, and now with Apocalypse Guard, it's clear that you love shared universes. If all of your works were in the same universe, what would be the most fun crossover to write? Brandon Sanderson Hmmm... It's probably the cosmere all-world mashup I'm actually planning to do in the future. /r/fantasy AMA 2017 (Feb. 13, 2017) Quote John Lee Will you ever do a crossover novel with different characters/worlds? Brandon Sanderson Yes, I will. The final Mistborn books will have this. There's already some in novellas like Secret History and Sixth of the Dusk. #SandersonChat Twitter Q&A with Audible.com (Feb. 4, 2016) Quote Questioner Is it still the plan to write Dragonsteel last? Brandon Sanderson Next-to-last. Mistborn final Era will be... yeah, Mistborn 4 will be last.

Weltall Posted December 15, 2020 Report Share Posted December 15, 2020 Just for reference, here's another that mentions that Hoid is a major character in MB4. Quote The Chaos Geek Is there a plan for a book focusing on Hoid or will he always remain an enigma? Brandon Sanderson The final Mistborn sequence will have him as a main character, as will the Dragonsteel prequel novels. #SandersonChat Twitter Q&A with Audible.com (Feb. 4, 2016) And one more on the general tone we can expect out of MB4 Quote Turambar97 Will there ever be a point in your books where different or all types of investiture clash ?? What I mean will there be a fight between people with different kinds of investiture or will there be a team composed of such people ? Brandon Sanderson Yes, this will happen. Look for the future of the cosmere to be about the interaction of ideologies, magics, and settings. It's less about an avengers style team up, and more about the clash between cultures. Skyward Pre-Release AMA (Oct. 12, 2018) So yeah, it's a very safe assumption that we'll be bouncing between a number of different viewpoints even if Hoid is one of them and Scadrians get a bit more focus by virtue of it being, well, a Mistborn series. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aneonfoxtribute Posted December 15, 2020 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2020 Yeah I kind of worded what I meant poorly. I meant more specifically just different viewpoints doing things and maybe, like, a central group of people like in the other Mistborn books, just with a lot of different offworld people in the group. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StanLemon Posted December 16, 2020 Report Share Posted December 16, 2020 I think considering the fact that it's still considered a Mistborn series, that it will start with a Scadrial based focus and points of view but that after more and more other worlds show up it will start portraying points of view from other Shardworlds 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honorless he/him Posted December 16, 2020 Report Share Posted December 16, 2020 There are WoBs on the size of the upcoming Mistborn eras Quote Star Share Gaming Would you ever consider writing a cyberpunk Era 4 for Mistborn? Or are you gonna be doing just the four Eras? Brandon Sanderson I would consider, and I've talked about before liking that idea. Once I did the Wax and Wayne novels, it became a natural thing to ask if there is a step between the 1980s and the science fiction era. And a cyberpunk-type era would make a lot of sense. The caveat to that is I have a lot on my plate in finishing the Cosmere already, and so I can't make any promises. But it does seem like it would be a natural fit to do. Original Mistborn series was each between 200,000 and 250,000 words. For a frame of reference, Way of Kings books tend to be between 400,000 and 450,000. And the Wax and Wayne books tend to be between 100,000 and 110,000. So, having another 100,000 to 110,000 word, faster-paced shorter series (shorter in total word count) would make a lot of sense. Because Era 3, the 1980s era, is going to go back to the 250,000 to 250,000 word sized books. YouTube Livestream 3 (Jan. 25, 2020) But nothing concrete on PoV distribution but given contextual clues from however many WoBs, the impression I got was that it's going to be primarily from a Scadrian viewpoint but other cultures would also get their perspectives, specially Roshar and Sel Quote Questioner So, one of the things I know, you have your own universe that you've produced, and it's fantastic. what's the series you're gonna create or have created that's the cornerstone, that will have the largest impact on the universe. Brandon Sanderson I would say Mistborn going all the way through is probably the most impact. Stormlight is gonna have a decent one, so is the Elantris world. Questioner Is there gonna be a union book or series? Brandon Sanderson Yeah, the final Mistborn series.

Wait, do you mean the Cosmere-verse? No, the saga will end, the Cosmere seems unlikely to be destroyed at the end of the franchise. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All Shards gone, all Seons gone, the Skaze, too. The Dor gone. The Stormfather again only a storm. Seeing how Brandon described the Shattering as meaning everything and nothing to Investiture, I don't think that if Adonalsium were recreated in some way it would necessarily be the end of the Cosmere as we know it. Also, I should point out that we have no evidence that such a thing is actually going to happen... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It depends If Dragonsteel approached you and ask you to finish the series using Brandon’s notes then the outline of the book will obviously be canon with the style just completely off If it doesn’t use Brandon’s notes no matter what you do it’s not canon Kinda like the sequel trilogy of Star Wars ya 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I meant significantly changed. Given what we know of Adonalsium, I do agree with what you think might happen. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
