[Spoilers TWOW] You are writing a book on Westerosi lore from the perspective of a Yi Tish scholar, what rumours and exaggerations have you heard, and do you write?

Like how TWOIAF has exaggerations about the far east, what rumours have spread from the tales of the far west?

Westerosi lore is already crazy, but how crazy can it get playing a game of telephone

I think Brandon's plan may have changed on a "Cosmere Avengers"

At the bottom of this post you can find a WOB illustrative of what I will refer to as the "Cosmere Avengers" idea (initiative), and the kind of plan Brandon envisioned for Mistborn era 5. This idea has been around for about a decade plus, but I think recently things have changed. Per the original cosmere outline, characters like Khriss and Zellion and Starling are meaningless before era 5 (Sigzil to Zellion would've been a huge jump, even if he appears in era 3). I think The Sunlit Man & The Isles of the Emberdark have made a sort of Avengers team coming together.

While where the "Avengers" will be placed (likely as outsiders) in this Star Trek culture-clash will be less Avengers as in all-for-one taking down big bad scary force. But I think era 5 will focus partly on some characters we now know.

Not much evidence of this, if any, largely vibes based. Anyone agree, have other thoughts? I also think that Khriss will join Starling's crew.

Questioner

Can we expect a Cosmere Avengers?

Brandon Sanderson

Yes and no. You can expect crossovers between the planets. My goal is not an Avengers-style, one character that you... like, if it were a true Cosmere Avengers it would be like, "Oh, we're going to have this character from this series, this character from this series," that's not what I'm going for. I'm going for more of a clash between the cultures and worlds. There will definitely be characters that you know that end up involved in that. But it's not, I'm not shooting for an Avengers-style thing, I'm shooting for more... It's more like imagine Star Trek, and retrograde back to all of the stories you're telling on the separate planets before they meet each other. Less Avengers, more "We're going to have an intergalactic... thing, going on." These are all of the origins of the cultures and peoples that are going to be involved in that. And since there are some immortals around, you will see people.

Questioner

Will the final Era of Mistborn focus on Hoid and his apprentices?

Brandon Sanderson

Yes, you are wise, you are seeing something that I am setting up. You will definitely have some more interaction of Hoid's apprentices in the final Mistborn series.

Hey, I am a big fan of the ongoing series of the Cosmere, Dresden Files, A Song of Ice and Fire, I particularly love how rife with theories and interpretations they are!

I am also a big fan of The Dark Tower, and Wheel of Time, they also have great theory potential.

What other series still going on have tremendous potential for theories. I'm talking about hours scouring wiki's and reddit and re-reading paragraphs!

I was thinking about subastrals and how they formed. These thoughts were started by the latest shardcast. My thought was, what would the ancient subastral of Mars, and the moon, and other planets be, given that ancient humans believed that Gods and diefic beings existed in the sky?

People from as at least 2000 years ago believe in alien life. Would this effect the subastral in our solar system?

Does anyone have any theories?
