==== Speculation ====
{{theory}}
Prior to The Way of Kings, all Cosmere books were published in Chronological order, but some important stories had been skipped.{{qa ref|692|10|How is the Way of Kings related to the rest of the cosmere?|date=2010-10-15}} From other interviews, we know that [[Dragonsteel]] comes at the beginning of the series.{{qa ref|988|4|What time period do they all fit in?|date=2012-12-6}} Elantris will have a sequel which takes place ten years after the first book.{{qa ref|763|5|Will we be seeing any more worlds for the Cosmere?|date=2010-9-21}} [[White Sand]] is one of the earliest,{{qa ref|988|4|What time period do they all fit in?|date=2012-12-6}} but seems to come after Elantris, since it and Dragonsteel are considered the first two.{{qa ref|1091|1|How long from the Shattering to the Prelude in Way of Kings?|date=2014-11-29}}{{qa ref|944|15|Received my first rejection letter|date=2013}} From the time of the [[Shattering]] to the Prelude of The Stormlight Archive might be around 6,000 years.{{qa ref|1091|1|How long from the Shattering to the Prelude in Way of Kings?|date=2014-11-29}} Another of the skipped novels is set on [[Ashyn]].{{qa ref|692|11|The Silence Divine|date=2010-10-15}} The Warbreaker sequel, [[Nightblood (book)|Nightblood]] takes place closer to Warbreaker and definitely before The Way of Kings.{{qa ref|1108|2|If you write Nightblood, will it come before or after Stormlight?|date=2014-3-14}} There will also be a fifteen-year gap between Stormlight books five and six (the two story arcs).{{qa ref|1109|9|How much time elapses between the beginning of the main part of the story and the end of the series?|date=2015-1-6}}{{qa ref|1097|7|There's also going to be about a fifteen year gap in-world|date=2014-12-6}}
