Questioner
I was wondering if the Skybreakers' armor spren... what spren they are?
Brandon Sanderson
Well... Do you have any guesses?
Questioner
Stormspren?
Brandon Sanderson
No, not stormspren, good guess. Any other guesses?
Gravitationspren. We're going with gravitationspren for them. So you should see some little hints of that in future books.
And this isn't too much of a spoiler 'cause we will be releasing all of these when the RPG comes out, 'cause you gotta know how you get your armor when you play the RPG.
Questioner
Does the [Stormlight] RPG spoil anything beyond the current books that we should be avoiding if we're worried about that?
Brandon Sanderson
It includes Wind and Truth.
Yes, mild spoilers for beyond Wind and Truth. It does spoil Radiant Oaths, though we have kept the last two Oaths specifically vague for all of the Orders. In the rules, it's like, "It's something like this, but let your player drive." That's a change we actually made a little bit last minute, where we were giving more specifics on four and five, and I'm like, "Let's just pull back on both of those." But there will be Oaths for Orders we haven't talked about. I mean, you already kind of started to get those spoilers in the previous Kickstarters, with the coins and things like that, but that's in there.
I never ended up using Rall Elorim and some other places on the map that I had planned to get to, that I might still go to in the back five. And they are explained in the book, what they are, what's going on there, and some of the stuff that I might eventually get to. It's in here first.
So, yeah, there's some mild spoilers.
And the campaign that you get to play (again, we're trying to keep that pretty secret) is a narrative hole in the books that I someday planned to plug, and never found a spot, and am not planning to plug in any other way. This is the place to get that story.

For the announcement that the Brotherwise <team> and you also shared, it's supposed we will have this RPG in 2024?
Brandon Sanderson
Well, we will likely have a Kickstarter for it in 2024, that's the plan. It's gonna take us that much time—uh, another two years—before we have a product. Until we know we have something that we can sell, does that make sense? We're gonna take that time to make sure that we are confident in it, that we have it done. But we probably won't be shipping in 2024 be my guess. It's possible we will be, but my guess would be we run a Kickstarter in the fall of 2024 for the RPG to arrive sometime after that.
Questioner
When Kaladin is younger in the first book, he talks about wanting to go see two cities: the City of Storms and the City of Shadows. Those have never been mentioned after that. Do they exist?
Brandon Sanderson
Rall Elorim is the City of Shadows. Those who know your really deep cuts: Book 4 was going to take place there, and it just did not work in the outline. But the original outline... that line was there because someday he was going to go see that.
The City of Storms. I'll leave it to fandom to work out what's going on with that one.
Rall Elorim, we did take the story that I was… because most of Rhythm of War stayed the same. It was just gonna be there instead. You will find some references to it in the RPG. We repurposed my worldbuilding there, and we are going to let you have some fun there in the RPG.

The other thing is, because we now have the Kickstarter and you have been working so hard within the last year with all the canonical designs for the characters and everything, and it's really exciting and pleasing to see Shallan turning into life and Kaladin and Szeth and everybody. What is the thing that—besides the statue the statue from Kaladin and Szeth but—what is the thing that you would like to see, what is the thing that will make you happy to see next as a project if not the minis, or what are you expecting?
Brandon Sanderson
Yeah. After the minis I would say that I am really excited to start work on an RPG—a pen and paper RPG. I really like the Mistborn one, but I have a lot more experience now and I think I know better how to mechanically come up with something like this and how to make sure all the artwork works and things like that so doing a pen and paper RPG I'm pretty excited for that idea. That would be the product I'm most excited for. But there are a few things in the Year of Sanderson that I can't talk about now that I designed that I'm also really excited about.
