Ending of Horneater spoilers!!!

Does anyone else think about the fact that Cord and her brother, Gift, don’t know the Horneaters all left. Their whole family is gone. All they have is each other now. Imagine them returning to their mountain, and it’s cold. Really cold. You can’t even tell people once lived there because it’s snowed over.

Damn, I might write a one-shot about this.

If you’re wondering how I know this, Brandon did a QnA spoiled the ending.

The next Stormlight novella is going to be called Horneater

This might have already been announced elsewhere, but this is the first I’m hearing of it

I know that we are getting a five-to-ten year interlude between books five and six of The Stormlight Archive. One thing I’m looking forward to in the “back five” novels is the next-generation Rosharans getting some time in the spotlight. Oroden and Gavinor will be right around that “Stand By Me” age, and maybe Rock’s youngest daughter Beautiful Song will be part of that clique as well. Lift will be the cool aunt that “supervises” them so that they TECHNICALLY have an adult present. If Shallan and Adolin have a child, she’d be right in that “hero-worshipping younger sibling” age slot.

I realize that we are still at least eight years away from potentially getting these stories, but I’m definitely anticipating the possibilities. Please, Brandon, please: spare the children. At least until we get some of this stuff in the back five. ❤️

Trying to depict Rock’s children =) I’m working on their detailed look!

Do Horneaters know more about birds? Rock recognized a goose feather-fletcher arrow, not calling it a chicken feather. Could this relate to the Horneater population living by Cultivation's Perpendicularity? Are they more directly related to the Shin? Even more crazy, does Patji and First of the Sun have any involvement in their knowledge of birds? Highly unlikely on that last one, but this is a Brandon Sanderson mystery here, and for as much as we know about Realmatic theory and worldhopping so far, I feel like we have even more to learn. I just thought it was crazy that a Rosharan called a bird by another name other than "chicken"... either that's a very small Sanderson foreshadowing, or it's an overlooked error-- which, I would find very unlikely for Oathbringer.

Cooking was like warfare. You had to know your enemy – though his “enemies” in this contest were his friends.  They came to each meal expecting greatness, and Lunamor fought to prove himself time and time again. He waged war with breads and soups, sating appetites and satisfying stomachs. As he worked, hands deep within the dough, he could hear his mother’s humming. Her careful instructions. Kaladin was wrong; Lunamor hadn’t become a cook. He’d always been one, since he could toddle up the step-stool to the counter and stick his fingers in the sticky dough. Yes, he’s once trained with a bow. But soldiers need to eat, and nuatoma guards each did several jobs, even guards with his particular heritage and blessings.

Here’s a (very) quick and messy sketch of Rock. I absolutely love him as a character. Yeah, that’s it. Constructive criticism is welcome.
