Free Way of Kings Ebook May 4th, Call to Adventure Interview and Art (Updated)

That is some storming good art

Note that the ebook for tWoK is only available to people living in the USA, Canada (minus Quebec) and the District of Colombia. I was a bit disappointed that I wouldn't be able to receive a copy, but at least I still have my paperback.

Do we know if the artwork of the honorblades counts as canon at all?

Do we know if the ebook is WoK Prime, or just WoK? I vaguely remember something about the WoK Prime ebook maybe not being part of the leather-bound WoK kickstarter. Just curious.

The Honorblades aren't supposed to have gemstones in them.

Stormlight board game?!

Storms!

Not what I had in mind when I read Nale's Honorblade had two slits

Love the various cosmere symbols surrounding Hoid in the art. Just hidden enough to make you look, but obvious to anyone looking (always another secret, right?)

I've added this to the article. I suspect that's because Tor only has rights to distribute in NA, and also possibly rules about giveaways and lotteries.

My impression is that they worked with Isaac to make them canonical. 

Am I the only one who finds Battar's blade to be suspiciously close to how Oathbringer is described?

Also every single piece of art is so amazing!!!!

It's very possible that's just in-world identification for the Heralds, for the Desolation troops. 

Am I the only one getting an error trying to redeem WoK? Like I'm trying to sign up for the newsletter but uts giving an error message

This is some really amazing art! Can't wait for the game.

Uh guys? Does anybody know about the error I was talking about earlier? I kinda don't want to miss out on this, and a friend of mine who hasn't read the series is having the same trouble.

It gave me an error multiple times. I just tried over and over. It worked ... eventually.

Apparently this was a very popular event so they are extending the deal for another day while they sort out technical details. It seems to be doing better now: 

Why are there gemstones in the swords?

@aneonfoxtribute The issue was probably related to a traffic to the site. I had to try a couple times to get mine to go through. Sorry if you didn't get it.

If Taln had placed his Honorblade (provided that he didn't die...), then the circle would be complete, and we would have two Shattered Plains...

I got it, as did my friend. The issue on my side was my using a phone, since the moment I tried it on desktop it worked. I don't know what was up with my friend though. He got the same error despite being on a computer from the start.. I ended up redeeming it for him on my computer.

Thanks! Reason I asked is the same as ginger below:

My thoughts exactly! We can now theorize as to the other dead shardblades we have seen, what orders they potentially belong to!
