Text replacement - " ''The Stormlight Archive''" to " The Stormlight Archive"
(→Planets: Not really worth counting planets now, since some could be the same names for different ones; hearing loss on Ashyn seems specifically tied to the "keep the cities up" disease, not all of them; star names seem better for the PR and system pages; misc wording tweaks; alphabetization fix) |

The cosmere sequence has a clear story that Brandon wants to tell and is fairly firmly outlined as 35 novels, plus a variety of novellas and other works, with the [[Dragonsteel (series)|''Dragonsteel'' series]], [[Mistborn (series)|''Mistborn'' series]], and ''[[The Stormlight Archive]]'' forming the core of that story.{{wob ref|7744}}{{wob ref|13550}} ''Dragonsteel'' will tell [[Hoid]]'s backstory and the story of the [[Shattering of Adonalsium]];{{wob ref|13550}} ''Mistborn'' will have four series, following [[Scadrial]] from the [[Final Empire]] to the development of faster-than-light travel and the interaction between the various planets;{{wob ref|9005}}{{wob ref|5343}}
Brandon does not feel that the cosmere is restrictive to his writing.{{wob ref|6496}} Though cosmere novels are intensive, as they require more thorough planning and continuity maintenance, Brandon also has an internal wiki and people like [[Peter Ahlstrom|Peter]] and Karen Ahlstrom who help him keep the cosmere on track.{{wob ref|9015}}{{wob ref|9610}} When Brandon feels like he needs a break from the more stringent requirements of the cosmere, he'll turn to work on a less intensive novel or novella, which are almost always non-cosmere.{{wob ref|9015}} If there is a concept he really wants to write but doesn't fit in the limitations of the cosmere, he moves it into a non-cosmere book. For example, ''[[The Rithmatist]]'' started as a cosmere novel, and its magics take many elements from cosmere magics, but Brandon decided that he did not want a version of Earth in the cosmere, and so moved it to its own universe.{{wob ref|10860}}
