Subject to the assumption that characters stay associated with their current order and assigning the Order of Dustbringers to Shalash's book by process of elimination, the following table summarizes these relationships and the order of books: These novellas would fill in some details and show parts of the story that wouldn't have otherwise been seen. Brandon has said he also hopes to write novellas in between at least all the remaining arc one novels, though is unsure if he has enough time. The second arc will be written after Mistborn Era 3. The series will be split into two arcs of five books each, with a time gap of about ten years between the two arcs.

Brandon has made clear that a character can have flashback point of views, even if he or she is already dead, so the characters scheduled to have flashbacks in an upcoming book might still die before their book. Each book also includes an Ars Arcanum.Įach novel will focus on one specific order of the Knights Radiant and feature flashbacks from a character tied to that order. Each of the first five books begins with a prologue that shows a different character's perspective of the night of the assassination of Gavilar and ends with an epilogue from Hoid's point of view. The books also feature several pieces of in-world art on the endpages and between some chapters, and epigraphs from in-world documents at the start of each non-flashback chapter. Each novel has one character who gets multiple interludes, whose interludes effectively form a novella. Between each part is a set of interludes, set in different points of view, which show events in other locations on Roshar.

The names of each part, when put together, form a ketek. Each is split into five parts, and Brandon plots each novel as if it were an entire trilogy. The novels of The Stormlight Archive follow a consistent internal structure.
