m (Added a couple of points that I thought would be good to note.)
* [[Shallan]] did not exist. Instead, Jasnah had another red-headed apprentice, called Shinri Davar. Her plotline and character were completely different from that of Shallan, and though Shinri did eventually evolve into Shallan, Brandon considers the two to be separate characters.{{wob ref|11457}}
* [[Spren]] were not a part of [[Roshar]] yet.{{wob ref|6455}}
* The [[Diagram (literature)|Diagram]] was written by [[Renarin Kholin]], whose mind was destroyed by the knowledge.{{wob ref|842}}
* Taravangian was deaf and called Ahven.
* [[Ardent]]s were called monks.{{wob ref|3808}}
* [[Adolin]] was called "Aredor" and was executed by Elhokar.{{wob ref|3808}}
* [[Taln]] was a regular viewpoint character, and far saner than he appears in ''[[Words of Radiance]]''. It was also unclear for much longer whether he actually was a Herald or just thought so.{{wob ref|1875}}{{wob ref|13980}}
* The [[Herald]]s resurrected by taking over the bodies of Rosharans, similar to how [[Fused]] work in ''[[The Stormlight Archive]]''. This fuelled the mystery of "is Taln the real deal, or is he just some crazy guy", which was never completely resolved in the book.{{wob ref|12029}}
* The Heralds had the ability to sense other [[Honorblade]]s by holding their own, though Taln initially assumed it was an ability to sense each other. In one of the scenes of the original draft, he used this to try and track down his fellow Heralds, only to find the abandoned Blades.{{wob ref|11609}}
* Dalinar's name was spelt Dalenar
* Shardplate is said to be made by Awakeners which are different from Nalthian [[Awakening|Awakeners]] and the equivalent of [[Soulcaster|Soulcasters]].
* All but one of the Heralds were male.
* [[Lhan]] was a viewpoint character, though he was more similar in character to [[Lightsong]] than his in-world counterpart.
* [[Hoid]] was not a part of the story.
* The [[Oathgate]]s were intact.
* [[Elhokar]] was killed by Dalinar.
 
== Trivia ==
* A sequence of six chapters from ''The Way of Kings'' Prime is included in the [[bws: altered-perceptions|Altered Perceptions Anthology]].
* [[Dalinar Kholin]] was the first character Brandon Sanderson ever wrote when he was 15 years old. What he originally had in mind was a Kingking ([[Elhokar]]) who is terrible at leading and the King's uncle not knowing whether to take charge or not.
