17th Shard
How is The Way of Kings related to the rest of the cosmere? What point in time is it?
Brandon Sanderson
Oh, so far I have written the books/series chronologically. Though, I have skipped books. And so there will be jumping back eventually, but Elantris, Mistborn, Warbreaker and Way of Kings all happened chronologically.
17th Shard
Just in general, how is it related to the rest of the cosmere? Or can you say?
Brandon Sanderson
I, uh…officially don't know what you're talking about. I mean, what do you mean by "related to"?
17th Shard
For example, the letter…
Brandon Sanderson
Yes, just like the letter that I have no idea what you're talking about. I will tell you that one of the novels I skipped is actually set in the same solar system.
17th Shard
Oh…so this is the series that that book shares.
Brandon Sanderson
Yes, this is the series that the book shares that I skipped. I was planning to do it first, but now was the time to do the Stormlight Archive. So you will eventually see a book set on a planet in the same solar system. You could just pick out in the sky of Roshar if you were watching, and it may even get mentioned because it's a fairly close planet.
17th Shard
Is that on Divine Silence?
Brandon Sanderson
Silence Divine happens there.
17th Shard
What is the name of that planet?
Brandon Sanderson
Hmm…should I tell you? Oh, Peter says no. You got PAFO'd. Peter and not find out.
Yeah, so, I will tell you the name of that planet once it is out like I've told you the rest of them.
