Brandon on twitter said that he just turned in Calamity 2.0 draft and then he'll do revisions on the new mist born book and then start Stormlight 3. New blog post sometime too.

Thanks, I hope to make more in the future!

I kinda feel like we don't know enough. Are these really the void bringers that are back? What exactly was everyone up to?

I need to add that light more to the overall scene. But ya!

Kaladin is gunna fall in love with her. He'll find out that she didn't marry Roshone.

I'll be working on Adolin some more, hopefully make it him look better and add color sometime Thanks for comments so far!

My kindle edition seems to have been updated in certain spots, but not fully.

Hey! I've been working on a few drawings recently and I thought I would share them now! So tell me what you think of them! Also if you want to suggest any other ideas of what to draw from the stormlight archive that would be great. The first drawing is my depiction of Adolin. I kind of what to work on this some more, but I thought it looked good enough to show you guys. Adolin is suppose to be really good looking with messy hair in a military uniform. My second drawing is my new depiction of the NightWatcher. Now there isn't really a description of her in the book so I really had freedom to draw what ever I wanted.

I didn't have the Roshar looking in my mind of how it is described for a while. I didn't realize everything had shells and all that fun stuff. WoR made that clearer.

I think the word you are looking for is Cosmere.

So most likely a broken wrist and a bunch of other injuries.

Broken Arm? I feel like I should know this, but obviously missed it.

I'm guessing we are looking at late 2016 then???

I just found this interesting tidbit on Tor.com "Shinovar There is an exception to every ecological rule on this planet, and all of these are present in the isolated nation of Shinovar. In the far west of the continent, separated from the rest of the world by a high mountain range, there is a pocket ecosystem that has evolved without the influence of the highstorms. Here there is soil. There is grass that does not move. And there are also the strangest animals of all; horses, chickens, and pigs. Yes, that’s right: the classic fauna of European earth is alive and well in Roshar. These animals are incredibly rare, incredibly valuable, and incredibly out of place. What are chickens doing on the crab planet? Why have horses evolved in the same world as lobster-dogs? These are questions we’re not yet equipped to answer. Shinovar is a mystery in the Stormlight Archive so far, but one that is sure to be explained in time. In the meantime, there is another article to be written on this subject, one that explores how humans fit into this harsh environment, how they are contrasted with the Parshendi, and whether, in an alien world, humans are actually the most out-of-place species."

I think Elhokar is going to start stepping up as king though in the next book. I don't see a problem with Adolin being a very strong focus. The only thing is it seems a little too predictable. I liked his foreshadowing of Adolin when Kaladin saw him help out the whore and stand up against one of Sadeas' men. But yeah I agree. Adolin has grown up with luxury, but he's obviously different than other lighteyes. That is at least what I saw in the first book.

That's what we are lead to believe, BS did change the wording though in the new version of WoR.

I noticed in the my second read through that there are a lot of small things that are of earth, but on roshar. Here's a WoB: All of the other animals are primarily species with shells on them, due to the high storms and extreme weather. ​There are chickens in shinovar and grass that doesn't retract, both qualities of something on earth. Shinovar seems like a really private place that is different than everywhere else. High storms don't make it there, so I would have to think that their evolution pattern is different because of their environment. Also why are the Honorblades in Shinovar? It seems like this place has a lot more going on then we know. This is obviously a lion that Adolin is describing. So why does Roshar have mythology related to earth?

"If Dalinar punishes his son too harshly" It's the king that will probably be making the decisions about what happens to Adolin. If the king decides to banish Adolin, then I don't think it would affect Dalinar's oaths. It's going to be very interesting to see what happens though.. Adolin had a lot of character growth in the last half of WoR.

Is Lift really going to be a main character? I really dislike her... So on page 583 in WoR: "Adolin took a gulp of wine, not trusting himself to reply. I should just get up and walk away. But he didn't. A small part of him wished for Sadeas to provoke him, push away his inhibitions, drive him to do something stupid. Killing the man right here, right now, would likely earn Adolin an execution-or at least an exile. It might be worth either punishment." and then page 584: "He'd find a way to force this man into the dueling ring. Killing Sadeas now-no matter how much he deserved it-would undermine the very laws and codes Adeline's father was working so hard to uphold." These passages are really telling on what will happen if Adolin kills Sadeas. If Dalinar wants a unified kingdom it would be bad to look like he's favoring his own family. I remember when Adolin was telling Kaladin about duels how there was tradition that meant a lot to light eyes. I'm guessing killing Sadeas was a very cowardly event in other's eyes. He also mentioned that leaving one's allies on the battlefield didn't mean much, but insulting a high prince was bad. So even though he could be considered right to kill him, I doubt he get's away with it that easy.

Do we know if the Spren are attracted to the person before or after they have said the first oath? Just thinking it would probably have to be before. I think I remember Syl saying she was attracted to Kaladin before. Adolin would definitely need to revive the blade first and the spren or I would assume the blade would start screaming, can you even say the oaths before bonding a spren?

Yeah don't you guys think Adolin will be a Radiant? The desolation is coming and there were tons of Radiants in the past. Edit: Thanks for all the info Maxal! I don't think it's a problem that he doesn't have a book. The past experience are just there to enhance the story, but not be essential par say. Pretty much like you explained! It's very interesting to think of Adolin becoming an Edgedancer. What do you think he will do in the third book? I mentioned that I think he's going to be exiled for killing Sadeas.

It's probably been brought up already here, but I'm just finishing a read through and I thought I'd discuss it anyway. I think Adolin, if he becomes a radiant, will be a Dustbringer. I just have that feeling. Their two orders: Division: Some kind of heat order. Abrasion: Sliding around like lift, can you imagine Adolin being able to do this on the battlefield? He'd be unstoppable. Kind of how people misjudged Adolin on his dueling skills? eh, eh? Some people have mentioned that Adolin's actions at the end of WoR could lead him down a dark path, maybe of the void bringers. I think he will be discovered and banished by the king, which will lead him even further to be broken and form a bond struggling from bitterness and trying to do the right thing. So this might point towards that the blade, the spren, was an edgedancer spren. We do know that edgedancers and Dustbringers shared an order, so maybe they are similar? This comes into mind that Adolin might be able to revive his sword and create a bond that way. ​Adolin is probably my favorite character and I loved his character growth in WoR. So what do you guys think about this theory? About Adolin?

I haven't read White Sand yet, so I wouldn't know haha. I just finished The Aether of Night and it was really good. I definitely could see where some of his other books got some of the stuff. I might go back and make some more covers now.

That does sound tricky to get a hold of...

Yeah 'The Aether of Night', didn't turn out as well I as pictured in my head. So for some reason the title is just changed to Dragon Steel, but it isn't it? That's interesting. Dragon Steel hasn't been written right?
