β | The original tentative title, when Szeth was still the focus character, was "Stones Unhallowed". Like all planned titles for The Stormlight Archive this would have been the title of an in-world book, likely in dealing with Urithiru which [[Ali|Ali-daughter-Hasweth]] mentions was at times the Shin's only connection to the outside world due to its "stones unhallowed".{{book ref|sa2|47}} "Skybreakers" was also mentioned by Brandon as a working title, as Brandon felt "Stones Unhallowed" would possibly be too similar to Patrick Rothfuss' "Doors of Stone" if they were released in close proximity.{{wob ref |7960}} |

"The Highprince of War" was the working title for the fifth book in The Stormlight Archive, which is where Dalinar's flashbacks were originally scheduled to appear.{{wob ref|10033}} In February 2013 though, Brandon said it was "almost certain" to change.{{tor ref|the-title-for-brandon-sandersons-second-stormlight-archive-book-has-been-revealed|Words of Radiance press release|date=Feb 28th, 2013}} During the process of writing Stormlight 3, especially after shifting the focus to Dalinar, Brandon began referring to it as "Oathbringer" which eventually became its official title. |
