Brandon wrote a few "exploratory scenes" for Stormlight 3 during the summer of 2014, however, he didn't start in earnest on the book until June 2015.
The original outline called for the flashback sequence to focus on [[Szeth-son-son-Vallano]], however, Brandon later changed his mind. He planned on writing parts of the flashbacks for Szeth as well as [[Eshonai]] and [[Dalinar Kholin]], to help him decide who can best get across the information he needs to.{{sots ref|2014}}. After working on Dalinar's flashbacks, however, was pleased enough with how they were going that he decided not to go forward with the other two sequences.{{
