So what's your favorite thing from The Way of Kings? Quotes, coming from the actual book in The Way of Kings.
The book in-world? I would say it's the story that Nohadon shares about walking and passing the man with his burden.
Has anybody read The Way of Kings on any other worlds, particularly Sazed, Elend, or Tindwyl?
The Way of Kings as a novel is known off-world, but not on any of the planets you've mentioned. At least not currently.
In The Stormlight Archive, you've got the actual book The Way of Kings, are you planning to write it?
No, I am not. I feel like it would be an exercise that would take a lot of effort for very little value to the community or to myself. I like it also being open-ended so I can be like, "Oh, this should be in there," and then be like "Hey, here is a new quote from The Way of Kings".
Are you going to write books like, Way of Kings? Not the Way of Kings you already wrote but the Way of Kings in Way of Kings?
I am not planning to. Feels like it'd just be a lot of work for very little--
Maybe [Brandon] will stop by to let us know how much of the "Way of Kings" book we'll end up seeing in the series.
There's at least two more sections in Oathbringer, I believe. But I don't intend to write the actual book any time soon. (If ever.)
Have you thought about writing an actual Way of Kings, by Nohadon. I personally would love to read that.
I have considered it, but only briefly. It feels like a ton of work.
I was wondering about the in-world text, the Way of Kings. It's older than those 4500 years, right?
It was written by Nohadon.
Especially since Jasnah mentioned how all the texts have been corrupted or changed since then, especially the ones dealing with the Radiants, I was wondering if we will find out how the Way of Kings survived intact for so long, or if it actually did, or if it's...
They do say that...well let's just say that some books exist in translation over the centuries with the primary text having been lost, or things like this.
But you're not going to say if the translation is guaranteed to be accurate.
I am not going to say that.
Will we ever get some sort of dictionary/guide to Aons or Forging? One that tells us how they're made, with what all the various parts of a seal mean and how we could theoretically design them?
We might, but it would be a ton of work for him to put together. He compared it to when people ask if we'll ever get the full text of The Way of Kings--the in-universe book--and he said that we might, but all he has is an outline.
What philosophies do you feel like inspired you the most? Philosophies, or mysticisms, religions?
I like a lot of different things. You'll see a lot of things in Way of Kings of Pantheism. You see all the old Greek dudes. You'll see some Cartesian stuff. It's kind of everything. You'll see a lot of Shinto. Yeah, probably the most has been Shinto or actually more of the kind of Buddhist and Jainism sort of idea.
You know, Taravangian I feel like is embodiment of compassion versus seeing the world for what it really is.
Yeah. Right. And then there's the whole Utilitarianism versus altruism and I just find all of that stuff fascinating. I don't know if there's any one. Shinto, that idea of animism, the idea of everything having a soul, is probably... Yeah.
This is a line in Way of Kings where it kind of sounds like my homeboy Nephi. Was that on purpose?
I'm not sure if that one's on purpose. You'd have to tell me which quote it is.
Taravangian who's like "better for one man to sin than a whole nation perish?"
That is probably unintentional. I don't know if that was intentional or not.
Are there intentional ones in there?
Yeah. The Nohadon Way of Kings is directly influenced by king Benjamin's speech and Mosiah. That one is intentional. Most others will probably be unintentional though, of course, what I read a lot and what is important to me ends up in the books one way or another.
