  4. Second Stormlight arc timeline [Theory]

    in Stormlight Archive

    Posted · Edited by johnytopinka

    So, I think the second Stormlight arc (books 6 to 10) will take place at least seventy years after the ending of Stormlight 5.

     

    Reasons: 

     

     

     

    Wax and Wayne have their adventures about 75 years before the time of the second trilogy. The existence of this side branch to the main Mistborn sequence is more proof, as if we needed it, of the richness and depth of Brandon’s imaginary worlds. It’s going to be fun bringing it to you.

    then we have

     

     

    ZAS678 (MON FEB 20)

    We have conflicting reports on chronology. Is this right, or is this right?

    BRANDON SANDERSON (MON FEB 20)

    The second. I revised my placement of KINGS relative to HERO after realizing a behind-the-scenes conflict.

    ALLOY had to happen after KINGS for Cosmere reasons. I had two timelines arguing, and in plotting Stormlight 2, I fixed this.

    which makes this the right timeline

     

     

    ZAS678 (REDDIT.COM)

    How long before Way of Kings is Alloy of Law? I heard somewhere that it's a hundred years, but I don't think that's right.

    BRANDON SANDERSON (REDDIT.COM)

    I intended them to be happening roughly close to one another, with Way of Kings slightly before.

    FOOTNOTE
    This is in conflict with earlier reports, so it was confirmed

    Now the trickier part. Brandon said a few times that the core cosmere sequence goes: Dragonsteel - Mistborn Trilogy 1 - Stormlight Arc 1 - Mistborn T2 - Stormlight A2 - Mistborn T3. Unfortunately, I can't find any quote. I think he said it in one of the Waygate foundation videos, but I'm not entirely sure. I hope there's someone who can confirm this.
    So, seventy five years between Mistborn Adventures and Mistborn T2 with Way of Kings taking place before Alloy of Law a Stormlight Arc 2 after Mistborn T2. That would be cool.
    Now some problems:

     

     

    FEJICUS

    The Stormlight Archive is going to be in two 5-book arcs; will there be a big gap between these (story time wise)?

    BRANDON SANDERSON

    He said there would be a small gap, nothing as big as Mistborn and Alloy of Law, but it would be there.

    Eighty years, that's no small gap. On the other hand, eighty years compared to three hundred between HoA and Aol...

     

    But a few years ago, Brandon was toying with the idea of another Kaladin flashback book. Maybe it was because there is such a long gap?

     

    Anyway, That's all I have. Apologies for my English.
