In 2007, Brandon began work on a rewrite of the Dragonsteel series. He began with ''[[The Liar of Partinel]]'' and ''[[The Lightweaver of Rens]]'', which take place approximately five hundred years before the events of ''Dragonsteel'' Prime, which he then planned to rewrite and release as 'The Eternal War'.{{wob ref|7825}} However, after finishing Liar he was unsatisfied with the result and shelved the series for a future date. Since 'The Eternal War' would begin the main story arc, at the time he also intended to call that book 'Dragonsteel Book 1' and expect the readers to connect it to the previous two books to avoid the confusion of starting his story arc with Book 3.{{wob ref|6096}} The story takes place on [[Yolen]] and focuses on [[Jerick]], but also includes other viewpoint characters such as Topaz, also known as [[Hoid]]. |
