Now that Rysn has secrets to keep, where do her alliances lie? She seems slightly skeptical of the Radiants, so would she be more patriotic to Thaylen City and potentially share her information with Queen Fen? Or maybe even Vstim?
Her loyalty is most likely to her babsk and others who have proven, in person, to her their merit.
I want Rysn to keep accidentally finding herself in ever increasingly plot-relevant situations until she just becomes a worldhopper by accident.
u/mistborn, please seriously consider this. It would be amazing.
I've got some plans for her. Saying anything more would be a RAFO.
Have you had any negative feedback from other wheelchair users about Rysn's storyline?
I did go to a bunch of them to ask, so I've been trying. But if you have negative feedback to give me, I would love to hear it, because I had two beta readers in wheelchairs give me the best advice they could. But I obviously do not have that same disability, so there's things I'm going to get wrong.
[Hoid] was beheaded in Dragonsteel Prime and the Dawnshard is what regrew his head. He makes a crack about always thinking his head would have grown a new body, not vice versa, as he stares at his own severed head.
Slightly related: If the Dawnshard let Hoid regrow his entire head, will it eventually give Rysn back the use of her legs?
The different dawnshards have different powers.
Information subject to change when it appears in canon.
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.
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.
So, is she [Rysn] going to get a novella maybe?
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.
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--
Right, that's kind of her thing, is she goes and visits the different cultures of Roshar.
And then we get to visit them too.
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.
So now we know, when you think about--
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?
1) Yes. 2) Yes.
So, I'm wondering if Rysn gets a book.
Rysn does not get a book, but she might get a novella.
Since when did your start to plan this specific development for Rysn? Was it something that existed from her inception?
Rysn wasn't in my very first outlines; I decided upon this path for her when working on Words of Radiance, as I realized I really wanted one Interlude character that I returned to, and showed a longer story across several years for.
Rysn has come up a lot in interludes in both books.
Yep.
Will she continue to be in the--
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.
1) Is Hoid still holding his Dawnshard?
2) If not, is the Dawnshard currently hold by Rysn the same as Hoid's or a different?
3) Nikli mentions 4 Dawnshards. Are there more than that?
4) Are all the Dawnshards currently (as of SA 4) on Roshar? Or in the Rosharan System?
5) Are there some of them on worlds we have already seen (Scadrial, Sel, Threnody, etc...)?
Hoid Dawnshard is a RAFO.
Same.
There are only four Dawnshards.
RAFO on whether they're on this planet or not.
These are great questions, but Dawnshard info is mostly for the future cosmere books--and so I consider most of it very RAFOy.
"Same," here meant RAFO. I answer these quickly, I'm afraid, particularly when they come in a list like that.
Earlier you have stated that Spensa's story in Skyward was inspired by the 'boy and his dragon' stories that you read in your teens. Is Rysn and Chiri-Chiri's story in Stormlight 4 based upon this plot archetype as well?
Yes. But only in small, minor ways.
Getting the gift of a strange and unusually pet is one of those things ever since I read Dragons Blood by Jane Yolen, ever since I read The White Dragon and Jackson getting his dragon. There is something in me that loves this sort of fantastical pet - I mean own a macaw. [As far as] pets that are responsible to have go, excluding things like getting a lion, it's one of the weirdest things you can get as a pet. And that's going back to that love of dragon stories. That's why I bought <Cock>, my love bird, that was my buddy all through high school, it was because a flying, talking, little creature just feels so fantasy to me. So yeah, definitely Chiri-Chiri is playing into that trope to an extent.
Can we still expect a Rysn interlude in each book?
So, there's an interlude in this book for Rysn, but it's not from her viewpoint... (But you can expect one in book five.)
Will we see more of Rysn in the Stormlight Archive books?
Yeah. I plan to... She never becomes a main character. I plan to have an interlude with Rysn every time.
She won't be out of the interludes?
No, she won't be, but I might write a novella with her. Like I did with Lift.
Dawnshard is about Rysn. But there's a small plot arc for multiple other characters. Lopen's got one. Even Huio's got one. Because I'm a novel writer, and even when I write in shorter form, I'm doing novel writer sort of things.
Does this mean that Rysn is immortal now? If so that's going to start causing some questions if she stops aging.
Also, would Hoid be able to tell that Rysn bears a Dawnshard? Solely from having born one before? (Maybe he'd be able to sense it with Breaths or some other mystery Investiture.)
I also want to see what would happen if you stabbed a Dawnshard (/Dawnshard bearing person) with Nightblood.
These kinds of questions are why I gave a preemptive RAFO. :)
If Rysn's Dawnshard is about Change or Remaking or something like, how do we refer to it? The Dawnshard of Change? The Change Dawnshard? I am asking purely from a semantic standpoint.
I haven't honestly decided yet, Argent. I am playing with several themes for the Dawnshards even still.
It seemed from the way the mural was done in the book that you were implying that there are four Dawnshards, one for each four of the shards, considering the sun was split in four, then each quadrant was then further split into four more.
RAFO, I'm afraid. As I said somewhere else, this was written as it was deliberately--but also somewhat vague on purpose.
