Like the other secret projects, ''The Sunlit Man'' was written during the Covid-19 pandemic, as stopping conventions and international travel gave Brandon more time to write.{{url ref\|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6a-k6eaT-jQ\|text=Kickstarter Announcement Video\|site=YouTube}} Unlike the other three, the story was not written as a gift for Brandon's wife Emily. Rather, it was based on one of the first ideas Brandon had for a cosmere story, and one which he had not had the time for beforehand.{{ref\|name=Preview}} The original idea involved [[Hoid]] -- then called Topaz -- waking up on an ~~uknown~~unknown planet and trying to both figure out its magic system and to recruit its people into a looming interstellar war. As the cosmere developed, however, Brandon realized that Hoid no longer worked as the protagonist of this prospective story. Instead, he turned to Hoid's three apprentices, settling on [[Sigzil]], whom he decided to make a major figure in cosmere's future.{{ref\|name=Preview}} The initial setting was a world that was a sphere eternally rolling on the surface of another planet, forcing its inhabitants to always move. While the idea of a planet rolling on a planet was quickly discarded, Brandon kept the concept of a world where people had to perpetually move or die. This was partially to reinforce the theme of Sigzil/Nomad having to keep moving in order to avoid the Night Brigade.{{ref\|name=Preview}}
