+ILuvHats he/him Posted December 3, 2019 Report Share Posted December 3, 2019 Nooooo! I really liked Stoned Unhallowed as a title. Oh well. Here’s a few titles I thought of. - Kindred Whispers - Keeping the Wind - The Kiss of White 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Bliev she/her Posted December 3, 2019 Report Share Posted December 3, 2019 Nice find OP! I had missed that. Having hoped for Rhythm of War way back when, I’m somewhat at a loss here! A lot of good commentary already. In terms of “in world books”, Rhythms of War may end up an “in Cosmere” guide, maybe in the Arcanum? Where Khriss documents what the rhythms are? so a book from Shinovar might work. Knight of White works perfectly of course. Maybe a Shin children’s myth that worked to foreshadow Szeth’s trajectory? Knights on Watch? or Knight of the Watch? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Bliev she/her Posted December 3, 2019 Report Share Posted December 3, 2019 Oh, but maybe, much like Vorin names, it shouldn't be exactly symmetrical? What does that do to our hypothesizing? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nnatel she/her Posted December 3, 2019 Report Share Posted December 3, 2019 (edited) 6 hours ago, Knight of Iron said: Knights of Worlds. Kingdom of Warriors. King of Ways. King of Ways made me laugh way too much. But both Knights of Worlds and Kingdom of Warriors are awesome. And actually the latter one sounds totally like something concerning Shin, they don't have almost all the Honorblades for nothing. Yes, I remember they don't value warriors as important, if you want to focus on this part, this can be something they say about the Alethkar, obviously in a negative way. @Ookla the Toasted this sounds nice as well, maybe a little change to get Knight of the Winds Edited December 3, 2019 by Nnatel 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patrick Star Posted December 4, 2019 Report Share Posted December 4, 2019 Brandon's not going to include the word "kill" in the title. And since it's Szeth, the W probably stands for wind, though obviously not certain. It's probably going to be Knight of the Wind, or Keeper of the Wind, or something like that. Or maybe it stands for World. Dunno. Though I do like Knot of Woes, but have no idea what that might refer to. Another cool name would be Kname of the Wind, with a silent K. Sounds like a neat book, somebody should write that. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least the Alethi would still consider it symmetrical. You're right, I completely forgot about it. It opens up some new possibilities, like the Herald of War 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Edonidd Posted December 5, 2019 Report Share Posted December 5, 2019 Book 5 will be about Szeth, probably touching on the whole truthless thing, and the oathstone. Book 5 will also probably dig deeper into the oathpact, and either repair, replace, strengthen or circumvent it. Something that gives a stopping point to this story of 5 books and gives us a break until the next set of 5. Going with your KoW thing.... Keeper of Word? Keeper of Words? The Keeper of Words? Keeper of the Word. Keeping our Word? Szeth is not truthless, he kept his word. Only one Herald kept to their oathpact, they are truthless, they didn't keep their word. The only one that sounds elegant enough to be a title is Keeper ofvthe Word, but that doesn't fit the naming convention, and it doesn't seem like an in world writing, more like a title given to a person. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Winds Alight she/her Posted December 5, 2019 Report Share Posted December 5, 2019 (edited) I once noticed the mirroring of the titles before and my take Knights of Wonder still stands. (Though I definitely WOULD read a book called Kale of Whales ) ... Or maybe ... Knight Watch ...?

I was wondering about it, but I only came up with "Knights/Kings/Kingdom of West" (given it's Szeth's book). What do you think? I Like Knight of the West, considering Szeth's from Shinovar. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Use the Falchion Posted December 5, 2019 Report Share Posted December 5, 2019 Killing on Woken Tears (since WoK is really tWoK)...but I guess in a Ketek, indefinite articles don't really count... Knights of Worlds Torn Knights of Wept Tears ...Knot of Woes and Knife of Winds are still the best. 10 hours ago, Edonidd said: Book 5 will be about Szeth, probably touching on the whole truthless thing, and the oathstone.

SwordNimiForPresident the sword/that sword Posted February 12, 2020 Report Share Posted February 12, 2020 Just to throw a wildcard out there, let’s not forget that “H” is the symmetrical letter, so that increases the pool of possible options. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+robardin he/him Posted February 12, 2020 Report Share Posted February 12, 2020 On 12/2/2019 at 6:21 PM, Invocation said: I'm gonna miss the idea of Stones Unhallowed, honestly. That was such a sick title. Might steal it now that it won't be used. In a way that is what happened, but in reverse. I believe Brandon backed off on using a title of Stones Unhallowed after Patrick Rothfuss announced his long-awaited third and final book in the Kingkiller Chronicles would be titled The Doors of Stone. Back then, Szeth's book was going to be Stormlight 3, and also back then, Rothfuss said Kingkiller #3 would be released "very soon", and everybody agreed two major works of epic fantasy with similar sounding titles coming out in the same year would be a Bad Thing. Ha ha ha. On 12/3/2019 at 11:19 PM, Patrick Star said: Brandon's not going to include the word "kill" in the title. And since it's Szeth, the W probably stands for wind, though obviously not certain. Uh-oh. With Stones Unhallowed getting bumped as the title because The Doors of Stone as Kingkiller #3 was "supposed to" come out when Stormlight 3 came out, it'd be just Brandon's luck if he decided on a title featuring the word "Wind" and found it bumped because GRRM's long-awaited ASoIaF #6 book (The Winds of Winter) is "supposed to be released" in the same year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
