Questioner
So, is she [Rysn] going to get a novella maybe?
Brandon Sanderson
Rysn is probably not going to get a novella but Rysn is a character who's going to have a nice novelette in each story, in the interludes. Maybe not quite to novelette length on each of them but she, in each of the first five books you will get a scene from Rysn.
Questioner
I think she's a very interesting character because in a way she epitomizes what you just said about being exposed to different cultures and--
Brandon Sanderson
Right, that's kind of her thing, is she goes and visits the different cultures of Roshar.
Questioner
And then we get to visit them too.
Brandon Sanderson
Yeah. She's got a potted plant, she's got some grass actually, there's some grass that doesn't respond to the storm. So she's one of my favorites, I intend her to be in each of the interludes and have her own kind of little story running through the books.
Questioner
So now we know, when you think about--
Brandon Sanderson
Absolutely, there is a Rysn point of view in Oathbringer.

1) Will we see more Lift or Rysn in Stormlight 3? 2) Will Stormlight 3 have a main interlude character similar to how Eshonai was in Words of Radiance and Szeth was in The Way of Kings?
Brandon Sanderson
1) Yes. 2) Yes.

I want Rysn to keep accidentally finding herself in ever increasingly plot-relevant situations until she just becomes a worldhopper by accident.
Ellarree
u/mistborn, please seriously consider this. It would be amazing.
Brandon Sanderson
I've got some plans for her. Saying anything more would be a RAFO.
Questioner
(paraphrased)
Do you plan to do something like Arcanum Unbounded again?
Brandon Sanderson
(paraphrased)
Yes, eventually there will be AU2. I need to write more short stories before that. I'm hoping my novella this year will be about Rysn. Theoretically I will continue doing that, showing little glimpses of places around the cosmere.
Questioner
Rysn has come up a lot in interludes in both books.
Brandon Sanderson
Yep.
Questioner
Will she continue to be in the--
Brandon Sanderson
She does have an interlude in the third book. She is kind of, like-- so far I have wanted to use one of my interludes on her each time. I only get, you know, I get like only like eight or so per book, but I've used one of those on her every book. And I probably will going forward, but I can't promise.
SageOfTheWise
Aww, was really hoping to get a Rysn book. Hopefully we still get a lot more of her anyway.
She can team up with Adolin and make their own club for people too cool for books.
Brandon Sanderson
Rysn will appear again. Not getting a book does not mean someone isn't an important character, just that I don't consider them as having a flashback sequence worthy of structuring a book around.
Questioner
So, I'm wondering if Rysn gets a book.
Brandon Sanderson
Rysn does not get a book, but she might get a novella.
ArgentSun
Huh, I had assumed Rock's or Rysn's novella would be your airplane project. I guess taking a break from Stormlight by doing more Stormlight doesn't really work. Can you share your current plan for these two too?
Brandon Sanderson
Still hoping to do both of them sometime this year, but we'll see. I would hate for Edgedancer to be the only X.5 novella for Stormlight. Feels more right if I can get those, and the Lopen one happening between books one and two, done some day soon.
The Rock one kind of needs to happen, so we'll see. I need to get back on schedule with the main book first, though. That takes precedence over all of these smaller projects.
Hermitxd
This may be too much to ask.
For Rock's, is this a prequel in his homeland? Post-Oathbringer, coming to terms with his actions? Something different all together maybe..
I find either very exciting.
Brandon Sanderson
It is post-Oathbringer, involving him returning to his homeland.
