Just jump in because people are mentioning Szeshonai here =) (I quite like this ship, too.) I hope you will enjoy this post-WoR AU comic from Szeth's POV.

This thread may help you. It dealt with similar topic. (Note what Peter said.) http://www.17thshard.com/forum/topic/6565-ym-interlude-iriali-and-the-long-trail-wor-spoilers/

这本书有两个版本，分别是简体中文版和繁体中文版，不知你想看哪一个？台湾那边有实体书，书名就叫《皇帝魂》，里面还收录了Brandon写的其他几部中短篇，不过我不太清楚有没有电子书；内地的译文则刊登在一本奇幻杂志上，目前并没有正式出版，但我这里有全文的扫描版电子书，如果你有需要，又愿意透露你的邮箱地址，我可以把文件发给你 =) Just in case, I write this again in English: This novella was translated into both simplified and traditional Chinese. I wonder which version you'd like to read? In Taiwan, TES was included in a short fiction collection titled 皇帝魂. They've released physical books but I'm not sure if ebooks can be found. While in mainland, the translation was only published in a fantasy magazine. I believe there's no official ebook, though a friend of mine managed to make a scanned version of the whole text and then convert it into pdf format. If you need it, I can send it to you via email =)

Yeah that is my post =) I actually got the news just the day before yesterday. I knew this DMG staff for some time. IIRC his superior is in charge of the film project, so this friend's words can be trusted =) Last year he told me they would do TES film and that totally surprised me. It is supposed to be a co-production with some Chinese/Asian influence (but not set in a specific country or dynasty/era). The cast should be global, which means the film is likely to be in English. Though they seemed to have decided to find a Chinese actress to play Shai. But please note that what was said in the post has not been confirmed by Brandon & co. yet, so everything can change at this point. I will keep in touch with those DMG folks =)

This is the right meme you need: (Found in the Sanderson Memes thread.)

About this, Brandon's answer five months ago is that he tends to use Eshonai for book 4. But it is due to change and we cannot be sure now.Q&A from Reddit AMA last year:

So, there're basically thirteen races (or at least thirteen races so far, if you divide those cultures into more parts) on Roshar: the Alethi, the Vedens, the Unkalaki (aka the Horneaters), the Herdazians, the Thaylens, the Natan, the Makabaki, the Selay, the Iriali, the Shin, the Reshi, the Listeners and the Aimians.

Man, this is so great!!! Must have one in my collection =) (What intrigue me most are the compiled Ars Arcanum and collected relics from all Shardworlds! Wait, can we also ask for a real Hoid? ;P)

White Sand graphic novel looks so great! It's even better than I expected! (Love the style and coloring. And yeah, white robes! Though Kenton seems a little older than I used to think ;P) Elantris sequels are coming! I just felt so excited about them! I also wonder what they're going to call the whole series.(Elantris Trilogy or other things?) (But when it comes to Dragonsteel and Liar... Man that "looong way off" really is frustrating.) That Cosmere star chart part made me freak out, too. I never really expect it will come out so early!

Stormfather! Blood of my fathers/ancestors! (Interestingly, this curse by Dalinar only exists in WoK but not WoR. I quite miss it.)
