WOK prime intro: Original Stormlight Archive series title was "Dawnshards"?

[+Uvadoc06]

I just opened my WOK prime that came in the mail, and was reading the intro, and Brandon says the original title for the series was "Dawnshards." I don't ever remember hearing that tidbit before. That's interesting. Do they play a more prominent/obvious role in this book? I hadn't planned on actually reading this any time soon, but...

It was Oathshards actually

So is it a typo in the intro, or did Oathshards turn into Dawnshards?

Probably a typo as proto-dawnshards were from Dragonsteel

Ah, ok. That's something else I've never read. Thanks!

Most people haven't, we just know things about it from Words of Brandon and the occasional released snippet. The complete book is gonna be released with Words of Radiance leatherbound like Way of Kings Prime was for the WoK leatherbound so it's going to be widely available before too long.

Hm, the EPUB copy says "Oathshards", but the physical and PDF say "Dawnshards". "Oathshards" is the one backed up by some really old WoBs, but I wonder if he just put the wrong word or if there's a connection between the things and he put the wrong name for them.

I'd think it's an Oathbringer is an Honorblade situation

It's easy to forget that sometimes the members of Dragonsteel (the corporation) don't pour over this stuff as carefully as we do
