@bdoble97 The kickstarter bills it as a 144 page campaign book. I expect that to include plenty of art, maps, stats, tables etc for the purposes of playing the game.

Oh that's great thank you

Stonewalkers does not appear to be a novel or novella - it's a game supplement, but I cannot find any information on how large that Adventure will be yet.

  Hide contents

The Stonewalkers Adventure has been written, designed, playtested, and has been through multiple rounds of continuity review. We're still at the midpoint of art and maps for this one, but those are proceeding well.

Hope that helps

I'm not sure to which book you are referring. Do you perhaps mean Stones Unhallowed?

That was a temporary possible name for Book three when considerd making that book Szeth's Flashback stories, before he changed to Dalinar's Flashbacks.

If I am wrong about Stoned Unhallowed, please let me know to which book you are referring and I'll see if I can answer the question.

Hope that helps

Brandon along with Dan Wells co wrote Stone Walker for the brotherwise stormlight archive game. 

I don't think Wit will die I could see at the end kf all the Cosmere books many many years from now  I would love the last sentence be about Hoid laughing while he walks away and  has some great comment 

I also would love to seean  endpage art of Kaladin with Syl that would be awesome in his blue uniform cape, honor spear them both decending from the Sky with pillers of stone with carvings depiticting his past battels

Does anyone know how many pages the Stone walkers book is going to be

I believe the front end pages of Stormlight 6 should be a new Roshar map. After what happend it would be nice to see what the world looks like now. I also want more Howard Lyon art in the Stormlight Archives he is an amazing artist 

Hello I was just at my daughter karate class and another father pointed out to me that Killing a kings Wit is illegal to do. So When Wit gets zapped he was saying to me he thinks that it's a brake of the contract. This may have been brought up before. So I apologize if it has. He was saying to me that it is mentioned a few times throught out thw books. I am on my 1st ever reread of all 5 books so I am excited to read tho gs in a all new light so exciting haha

Leaving a kid with Taraviangian, doesn't sound like a path that will lead to a well adjusted being...

Oh I agree I would live to see kid honor some how get to hang out with Kaladin and Syl. A God being raised with Kal and Syl as his mother and father figures that's sound like fun haha

Yes! Thank you @Treamayne

Thank you @Treamayne

In the prelude of Way of kings there red orange and violet blood red is humans orange is singer I believe but who has the violet blood 

Are there any talks about having a Cosmere art book. There's one of two way I think you could do it. 

1. A in world Shallan book

2. A All Cosmere art/ concept art book all all the art from all the books. A coffee table typ book I would buy that for sure

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the Honor shard was described as starting to be sentient due it being alone for thousands of years Correct?  Dalinar described it as having a child like perspective right? Or somthing to that effect. When the 2 shards started to combined the book read  that a sliver of it left and fled. I know the sliver then went to Kaladin and Syl to make Kaladin's new spear. But could it also create its own avatar and we. Could get a new kid Honor character with its own POV or mabye just a interlude hear or there. I really like this idea. Whould love to know what people think 

I just want to see him fight her in her dragon form. I think that will be a epic scene

Concur. There can be love without Romance, and Kaladin's relationship with Syl can and should be Loving without requiring a Romantic bond.

This makes me very sad. As an Aromantic myself, it hurts when people imply that we are somehow "missing out" or a failure for a lack of Romance in our lives. Lack of Romance can be wonderful too - if that is how a person is wired.

Just please remember that a lack of romance is only a problem if the person feels a need for it, but has not fulfilled that need. Not everybody needs romance in their life.

I should have thought about this. I have probably been looking at Kaladin as my self to much and thinking what I would need if I was in his shoes. That a great points t and makes me look t it in a totally different perspective thank you 

@TreamayneI have really enjoyed your comments since i have come back to these forums after finishing Wind and Truth

Many of us feel the same, although for slightly different reasons. I, along with a good portion of the fanbase, have suffered from depression or depressive episodes. It's been a lifelong battle for me, and reading the Stormlight Archive was a version of therapy that I needed. Seeing someone as strong and heroic as Kaladin going through similar struggles as I have faced, with some scenes hitting way too close to home, it opened my eyes to some of my own personal pitfalls. To the point where I'm much better at handling my depression than I was before starting my trek into the cosmere.

Not just Kaladin though, while I do consider him my favorite character on most days, several of the others have faced struggles that I could also heavily relate to. Shallan being the next prime example, a few of her chapters have brought me to tears because of how deeply they spoke to me. The Girl Who Stood Up is still one of my all time favorite chapters in any piece of media.

"Accept the pain, but don't accept that you deserve it."

Her character is also amazing and parts of her arc are beautiful and have helped me as well. Reading these characters can help brake down the walls we have built up to hide behind and left your self be true to yourself in the safety of your own home. It helped me to understand who I want to be and helped me see what I really want to do with myself in helping others who can't help themselves. 

I have read alot of epic fansty in the past 25 years and some scif mixed in there also. Kaladin Stormblessed has become my favorite character. It had been Perrin for the longest time. But right off the bat in Way of kings I liked Kaladin in many ways I saw my self in him. I have never been in the military but played hockey from the age of 7or8 up till my mid 20s and the love I had and still have for some of my old team mates reminds me of bridge 4. I also have been in law enforcement for 19 years and have felt first hand what it's like to go into scary situations but to have the trust and belief that the guy or woman next to you has got your back no matter what also reminds me of bridge 4. 

Reading stormlight archive and Kaladin's character arc has made me want to better understand mental health it has also helped guide my carrier into helping people in mental health crisis. I truly believe reading Mr. Sanderson work and other experience in my life have opened my eyes to mental health to look at it in a totally different light.  That being said for me Kaladin and Syl are Stormlight archive they are the main characters for me I love Shallan and Adolin but to think that Kaladin and Syl won't be front and center in the back book really makes me sad.  Does anyone else feet this way .  Sorry for the spelling and grammar I can't type to save my life unless I have Microsoft word haha have a great day every one

Oh dear. NO. NOOOOOO.

So A.) Syl lacks a physical body with enough tangibility to even... Blegh personally this train of thought gives me the "ick." They would have to be in Shadesmar. Also I think this would totally go against everything that Sanderson just started working on with Syl and Kaladin's relationship. Syl needs to learn how to live for herself and not for Kaladin. Them being in a relationship would defile that, I think. Also I feel like how their relationship right now is, is beautiful. I love a major writer including themes of: love does not need to be romantic. The Greeks had four words for it, romantic, platonic, duty, friendship, essentially. I know this won't matter to some people but the first time the word love shows up in the Bible is describing the relationship between father and son in Genesis. There is more to love than romance, and there is more to marriage than sex.

As I read the part of Kaladin and Syl dancing together, I simply felt happy. It was beautiful and so intimate without requiring romance. Sanderson hit on something amazing there. It was two characters who know each other on a very deep level dancing together and enjoying each others presence. 

Also I think it is literally impossible for them to have children, simply because of their natures. Syl is technically a force of nature/an ideology. Kaladin is physical and created. Technically because the only difference is their intelligence level, it's like saying what would a Rainspren and human's offspring look like? This is a question I don't think we are intended to ask, nor is it something with an actual plausible answer that we will be given in a book.

I don't have issues with inter-species relationships within literature, but this is a relationship that I personally think should not be allowed. This might upset people but it is me being honest: I think some relationships should not happen. Personally to me this is one that should not happen, that of Kaladin and Syl.

You have some great points. I have never read the Bible I'm not religious, but  I understand what you are saying about so a love a father has for a son I have 4 daughters and love them very much. Even if three of them are teenagers and bug the hell out of me at times haha. 

You saying there's more to love then romance I agree 100% and I also agree that there more to romance then sex I have been with my wife for 17 years and there is so so so much to our Love, having some one that you trust no matter what who you can tell your deepest darkest fares to.  Some one you can just cry to and laugh with. 

I am bad at writting things out with out Microsoft word ha so I apologize if this doesn't read well. (I am trying my best) 

Kaldin needs that in his life. But to me the most amazing thing about love can be the romantic part the way a person can make you feel, to know that you are the person that the one you love wants to be with is beyond amazing. It can be the greatest feeling in the world.

I was thinking what if Sul becomes the stormmother. The storm father was the avatar of "God" and he had a physical form right? So if Syl becomes the stormmother could that "level her up" so she could create a physical body. I do t think I am explaining myself well enough so hopefully you understand what I am trying to say.

Do any of you think that Brandon will miss Stormlight too much and give us a Stormlight novel other then the Rock one. I Need to know what Shallan is going to be doing, Will Kaladin and Syl become a thing she is thebonly women I can see him being with now that he is a Herald. I cant see some not having some one to love. Not having someone is a really sad and depressing life in my opinion so I wabt Kal and Syl to be together some how. What's Adolin going to do. His arc I think was my favorite of the book. I don't want to wait 7 years and have these characters that I love be pushed back and become background characters. To me they are just to important.  Also if Shallan is pregnant I hope she has twins don't have any reason for why I just like rhe idea.

Oh man I feel for you... Another victim of the wifely "this doesn't go with the look of this room" edict

My wife is as much of a bookaholic as I am, but the look, size, and color (!!) of the spine matter more to her than "current reading vs. archival" groupings, drives me nuts

OTOH she lets me do whatever I want in our bedroom (...with the books... ahem) and that does result in a  pile of books heaped around my side, so all in all I'll take her imposition of order over my natural inclination to chaos

I had a old big wooden book case that had Wheel of Time, Game of Thrones , all of Brandon Sanderson books, Name of Wind all of John Marcos books 20 pluse star wars books and numerous othere multiple Middel earth books I could go on and on. But once we did the basment the bookcase went and all my novels and art books went into tubs under the basment staires next to the cat litter and laundry room. Haha sometimes when I go looking for a book I feel like Gandulf looking through the old scrolls or discovering lost text hahah.  A few years back I started bring up "the more important book"and was placing then on my side of the bed untill she notice them hidding between the nightstand and the wall. Hahah so funny
