In terms of timeline-- So The Way of Kings and The Stormlight Archive takes place 1173-74 right now, how far ago, approximately, was the Recreance?
Brandon Sanderson
So you-- Let's see-- Heralds leave at what, 4500?
Argent
That's what it says.
Brandon Sanderson
So the Heralds leave at 4500 and we're at 11--
Argent
So we are at 5500 years after--
Brandon Sanderson
Yeah. So Recreance is more recent than late.
Argent
So... In the thousands--
Brandon Sanderson
I'm going to have to pull out the timeline.
Argent
But it's not like three hundred years ago.
Brandon Sanderson
It's not like three hundred years ago, but it's also not like 4000 years ago.
Argent
Okay, so from the middle--
Brandon Sanderson
The Hierocracy happened after and the Hierocracy was a couple hundred years ago. It's longer than that even, it's like five or six hundred years ago I think.
