Following completion of ''[[The Alloy of Law]]'' Brandon plotted out three more books, following the same characters, to finish the story. Brandon began writing ''The Lost Metal'' in April 2021, after he finished ''[[Cytonic (book)|Cytonic]]'',{{tweet ref|1377732696865042432|Brandon's starting announcement|date=2021-04-01}} and completed the first draft on August 4, 2021.{{tweet ref|1423320505839325191|Brandon's completion announcement|date=2021-08-05}} The second draft was completed on
The book will include some information relevant to the broader [[cosmere]], including the identity of [[Trell (Trellism)|Trell]], the nature of [[trellium]],{{wob ref|14695}} and some clues about [[Kelsier]]'s plans,{{wob ref|11747}}{{wob ref|13135}} but most of those elements are more foreshadowing for [[Mistborn Era 3|''Mistborn'' Era 3]]{{wob ref|5996}} and the book will mostly focus on the characters of [[Wax]], [[Wayne]], [[Steris]], and [[Marasi]].{{wob ref|14695}}{{wob ref|14693}} The book will likely begin with a [[Wayne]] flashback, rather than one of [[Wax]].{{wob ref|13838}} At least very early in the development process, Brandon envisioned Wax having basically retired and the book opening with Wayne as Marasi's deputy.{{wob ref|10283}} It will almost certainly include a broadsheet, like the other books in ''Mistborn'' Era 2.{{wob ref|14602}}
* Brandon also mentioned at JordanCon that he thinks there is a mention of the [[Shard]] [[Whimsy]] in the book.{{wob ref|14957}}
* At least in the first draft, there is a "very minor" plot point that involves a desiccated frog.{{wob ref|14976}}
* At Dragonsteel Mini-Con, Brandon mentioned that there is a [[worldhopper]] from a planet with a culture inspired by the [[wikipedia:Indian subcontinent|Indian subcontinent]] in the book.{{wob ref|15184}}
* [[Marsh]] also makes an appearance in the book.{{wob ref|15351}}
