* The name "delver" is mentioned once in ''[[Skyward]]'' before being properly introduced in ''[[Starsight]]''; whenever the delvers are referenced in ''Skyward'', [[Spensa]] uses "the eyes" instead.
* There is a deliberate similarity between the appearance of the delver heart and the communication chamber from ''[[Defending Elysium]]''.{{wob ref|13427}}
* Brandon once began writing a science fiction novella called ''The Eyes'', inspired by the [[wikipedia:Fermi paradox|Fermi paradox]], the question of why we can't find any aliens despite the statistical probability of their existence. The story remains unfinished, although a chapter of it was posted as a reward on the [[Writing Excuses]] Patreon page.{{bws ref|state-of-the-sanderson-2016|State of the Sanderson 2016|date=2016-12-19}} Its setting was eventually absorbed into the [[Cytoverse]], with one of its alien races appearing in ''[[Starsight]]''.{{wob ref|12197}} Given the title, it's possible that delvers originated from the story.
* Much like [[Calamity (Epic)|Calamity]] from [[The Reckoners]] series, delvers are extradimensional beings from a dark and quiet place that hate the noises of our world and the people who make them. When asked about this similarity, Brandon said there is a "very, very loose connection" between them and that [[The Apocalypse Guard]] series was originally intended to be a bridge between these things, though he was unsure if that bridge would remain after he finished fixing the first Apocalypse Guard book.{{wob ref|13608}}
