The Coppermind has spoilers for all of Brandon's published works, now including The Sunlit Man. Information about books that have not yet been released, like Stormlight 5, is allowed only on meta-pages for the books themselves. For more details, see our spoiler policy.

The Rithmatist series is set on an Earth where the North American continent has been fractured into a large number of islands known as the United Isles. Sometime in the far past, the JoSeun people, which are parallel to the Korean people of our world, took over much of Europe. [1] In the history of the Rithmatist, the Mongols were turned to work for the JoSeun empire.[2] It is a somewhat 'steampunk' setting, incorporating springworks, a version of early industrial revolutionary technology but with more versatile applications.

History

Sometime in the far past, the JoSeun people, which are parallel to the Korean people of our world, took over much of Europe.[1] In the history of the Rithmatist, the Mongols were turned to work for the JoSeun empire.[2] The conquest of the Americas by European imperialism seems to have foundered enough that the Aztek Federation is still a power in southern America.
