Please don't ask for spoilers.

Going for the bridgemen is a more effective strategy. The only way I can think of them trying to light them on fire is flaming arrows. The thing though is that if a flaming arrow were to hit a bridge, it wouldn't do much, the bridges are pretty solidly built. Even multiple hits I just don't see being that big of a problem, especially if the Alethi know rudimentary ways of fire-resiting the bridges. It's not like the bridge would burst into flame with a single hit, it is hard to get big pieces of wood to burn instead of just charring. There is a reason when starting a fire you start with small twigs and then build up to logs. So long story short, it wouldn't do enough damage better to just kill the guys before the bridge gets to the chasm.

I know some people have read a couple of the unreleased novels (such as White Sand and Aether of Night) but everything discussed on the forums is (or at least should be) based entirely released books and Q&A. It is currently against forum policy to discuss unpublished work on the forum (in accordance to Brandon's wishes).

I believe what was actually said was more along the lines of minor shardworlds won't have anything more than a splinter.

it happens quite often on Nalthis.

Yeah as people have said, it doesn't work. The battle of the Tower occurs in Tanat, which is a couple months after Shash, which is when that thousand days would have been up. As for the Weeping, it is four weeks long (I think) with a Highstorm directly in the middle. And it marks when the old year transitions to the new. We don't know exactly though. I've been operating under the assumption, for now, that it covers the last 2 weeks of Ishi and the first two of Jes. (I'm really not sure on its accuracy, its just how I've been thinking about it, I'd love to have actual confirmation on the placement of the Weeping though) However it could take place any where in the following range: the last 4 weeks of Ishi until the first 4 weeks of Jes.

It has been WoB-confirmed that the Full Lashing uses the Pressure surge.

People have asked if the Heralds were Rosharan, but it was RAFO'd.

If you send Brandon an email about it he will generally email it out.

Yeah, I second this. How does it relate to khokh/linil?

Actually no. A Rosharan year has 10 months, each with 10 weeks, each with 5 days for a total of 500 days in the year. A Rosharan year is also 1.1 Earth years. As for different planets having different lengths of their years, it's very probable. Welcome by the way!

That represents the month they were freed. Tanat is the ninth month of the year.

There is already a thread discussing this in the Events and Signings forum: http://www.17thshard.com/forum/topic/6101-who-is-going-to-be-coming-to-the-wor-release-party-at-byu/

Ah, okay. That makes a lot of sense actually. Can you help with the timing of the chasmfiend hunt as well? And I will definitely be working on the WoR chronology, eventually. But do you have the timeline worked out for WoK as well, or is that only something you did for WoR? Yeah, at this point WoK can't really be strung together. Luckily Peter was referring to Words of Radiance. Ah I want that storming book! What I have is still in the early stages. Eventually I'm going to be trying to make a more cohesive timeline, as opposed to just a listing of notes.

My personal thought is that mateform isn't the only form they can reproduce in, but it is the form they are most fertile in. It is harder to conceive in the other forms, but not impossible.

Okay, in my most recent re-read of The Way of Kings I gave a discerning look to the chronology of events and I just finished typing the up and I figured I should share them with y'all. I have them in two versions of a Google Doc (Spoiler and Non-Spoiler ) that you can comment on: Stormlight Chronology - WoK ONLY Stormlight Chronology - WoR INCLUDED - Here There be SPOILERS! (Soon, so far only has WoR prologue included) Be warned the way I've formatted things is probably weird, but it makes sense to me at least. I haven't had a lot of time for analysis but there are two oddities that I did notice. (Maybe Peter can shed some light on it? If he deems us worthy?) 1. The timing of the chasmfiend hunt. The chasmfiend hunt occurs on [D/A-1]. On [D/A-2] (Ch 18/19) the hunt is referred to as having happened "last week" On [D/A-3] (Ch 22), which is definitely after [D/A-2], the hunt is said to have happened only "three days ago" It is a fairly odd, in my opinion. Perhaps the hunt took place on the 4th/5th day of the week so it was technically the "week before" but it is an odd construction, why would they have said one/two days ago? 2. Kaladin being old enough to go to Kharbranth In Ch44 Hesina says Kaladin will be old enough to leave in 2 months. This takes place during the Weeping. However Peter has said that Kaladin's birthday happens during the events of WoK and so is before the Weeping (Which can be backed up by the books). So that 2 months can't refer to his birthday, so what does it refer to? WoR stuff should get added to the Spoiler version soonish, I just wanted to get these up.

about 2 months is correct, but keep in mind Rosharan weeks/months are different. Weeks are only five days long and Months are fifty days long. Kaladin has definitely not been a slave for "years" he was made a slave only 8 months before becoming a bridgeman. Also Kaladin was made a slave a bit before the Weeping, and the next one has not yet occurred.

Yeah, I"m definitely thinking today's glimpse is in Shadesmar.

Yeah Swimmingly is correct, The Silence Divine is a planned cosmere book that we've heard about over the years. Ashyn is one of the three planets in the Greater Roshar system and magic there is related to illnesses/handicaps. I.e. having the common cold gives you the ability to fly, the chicken pox super strength, stuff like that. If I remember correctly it is also supposed to have a modern tech level.

Okay added a new section to the OP: The interview was really interesting, and I know I missed some stuff. I saw a lot of familiar names asking questions so hopefully they can fill in the blanks of my report?

It has and it is a definitive no. (source) (source) Also, why do you say that is has "been confirmed that Cultivation is not the Nightwatcher"? I have seen nothing like that, any question that tries to ask it has been RAFO'd WoR spoilers:

Peter And Find Out, basically it means "Ask Peter".

It is cool. That's kind of the problem, even when he is doing awesome tin-stuff it still isn't good enough for him. "Being a tineye" is still kind of worthless in his eyes. Ah, I was mis-informed then. But it is the motto for the International Thespian Society, so that might be what confused me...

There is a WoB about this: (source)

Is this where I can talk about how I hate Spook and the resolution to his character arc with the burning passion of a thousand fiery suns? I'm actually going to be lazy and copy and paste a tumblr post I made about it: But this is very much my interpretation of the character, I don't mind other people liking Spook but he fundamentally fails as a character in my eyes.
