'''''Nightblood''''' is the working title for the sequel to ''[[Warbreaker]]''. It is currently on hold, and probably the [[cosmere]] book most in jeopardy of not being written, besides maybe a Threnody novel.{{wob ref|11904}} It will not be written until ''[[Wind and Truth]]'' is done, and may have to wait for the [[Elantris trilogy]], [[Mistborn (series)#Era 3|Mistborn Era 3]], and possibly Stormlight Archive 6 to be written, as those projects are consuming much of Brandon's time.{{wob ref|12276}}

At one point, Brandon was planning on publicly releasing drafts as he wrote, as he did with Warbreaker, though it is unclear if that is still the case.{{wob ref|4011}}

It will not feature all the characters from Warbreaker; the original plan was to center the story on [[Vasher]], [[Vivenna]], [[Nightblood]] and further develop their characters.{{wob ref|8535}}{{wob ref|4406}} Characters like [[Susebron]] and [[Sisirinah|Siri]] may get some updates, but would not be the focus of the book.{{wob ref|8535}} Brandon also plans to introduce new characters; a recent outline also includes a married couple that, for political reasons, acts like they hate each other.{{wob ref|8535}}{{wob ref|5853}}

The book would focus heavily on story of the [[Five Scholars]],{{wob ref|11904}}{{wob ref|4815}} including how Vasher became cosmere aware and travelled to Roshar,{{wob ref|12665}} as well as his history with Denth.{{wob ref|7467}}{{wob ref|2910}} Vasher and Vivenna would be attempting to stop [[Yesteel]],{{wob ref|10143}}{{wob ref|7403}} who recently learned how to create [[Awakening|Awakened]] [[Shardblade]]s and attempted to start a second [[Manywar]].{{wob ref|7407}} [[Jewels]] and [[Clod]] might join him, while [[Tonk Fah]] could feature, but would likely go in his own direction.{{wob ref|7471}}

There are several questions about Nalthis and its magic that Brandon has mentioned addressing in the book, including the origin of the [[Idrian]] royal family,{{wob ref|4406}} how other regions of Nalthis interact with Returned,{{wob ref|6700}} and how Vasher suppressed his [[BioChromatic Breath#Type_I|divine Breath]].{{wob ref|7481}}

Chronologically, it should be the cosmere book that immediately precedes ''[[The Way of Kings]]''{{wob ref|5657}} and should help explain how Nightblood got to [[Roshar]],{{wob ref|6056}} though Vasher's arrival on Roshar will occur between this book and ''The Way of Kings''.{{wob ref|966}}
