Episode notes
Aethers Enter The Cosmere, But Changed
- Aethers from Aether of Night are being integrated into the Cosmere but will differ from the original book's depiction.
- Brandon Sanderson confirmed aethers exist in the Cosmere and are now part of ongoing canonical lore.
Early Copy Distribution And Warning
- Brandon originally gave Aether of Night only to readers who requested it and discouraged broad reading with a forward.
- The book later became more available when 17th Shard handled requests and dropped the non-disclosure requirement.
Two Conflicting Plot Tones
- Aether of Night contains two intertwined plotlines: a mythic backstory and a Shakespearean mistaken-identity political plot.
- Sanderson later reworked many ideas from this early book into the canonical Cosmere with different tone and structure.
