As she plans a daring theft, her research for Jasnah hints at secrets of the Knights Radiant and the true cause of the war. Though she genuinely loves learning, Shallan's motives are less than pure. Any help and advice would be greatly appreciated. Troubled by over-powering visions of ancient times and the Knights Radiant, he has begun to doubt his own sanity.Īcross the ocean, an untried young woman named Shallan seeks to train under an eminent scholar and notorious heretic, Dalinar's niece, Jasnah. This is a partially completed class that will hopefully end up having all 10 orders. Like his brother, the late king, he is fascinated by an ancient text called The Way of Kings.

It has been centuries since the fall of the ten consecrated orders known as the Knights Radiant, but their Shardblades and Shardplate remain: mystical swords and suits of armor that transform ordinary men into near-invincible warriors. Cities are built only where the topography offers shelter. Animals hide in shells, trees pull in branches, and grass retracts into the soilless ground.
Uncanny tempests of incredible power sweep across the rocky terrain so frequently that they have shaped ecology and civilization alike. So I wrote it once more, and later used the paper to warm up with the rest of the quote before writing it on the next "real" sheet.From #1 New York Times bestselling author Brandon Sanderson, The Way of Kings, Book One of the Stormlight Archive begins an incredible new saga of epic proportion. I started with the word "before", and of course on my first "real" sheet of paper I got it wrong (the top of the F hit the bottom of the B). I also tried a variant of "before" where the last E was above the baseline, so that it could touch the O. I tried tighter spacing between lines, but that ended up looking worse than I thought. I tested a few different pen size combinations to get the right amount of contrast between "before" and the other words, since I did not want the first line to read "Life be death".
I liked how "before" stacks in Uncial, and from there I decided to go all-Uncial. I did some really quick sketches just to get it down on the paper. I didn't do much exploration on the layout since I had a clear idea what I wanted to do right away. Given the setting of the book, I felt like either Uncial or Gothic would be appropriate for this quote. If you are not familiar with the series, this is all you need to know :) In the story, there is a group called the Knights Radiant, and this text is known as their First Ideal.
