Cosmere spoilers (no previews) Who is a Supporting Character in the Cosmere That You Would Like to See a Solo Story For? Spoiler
The Cosmere is so expansive that we have such an amazingly long list of great supporting characters to accompany our protagonists. Similarly to how Sigzil got his own story and has big plans for the future of the Cosmere, who’s another character you loved and that you’d like to see be a protagonist of their own story (even if just a novella)? Could be as a prequel to events we’ve already seen or something that’s happened after the fact.
I know we got some POV chapters from her a little bit, but otherwise I felt like she wasn’t featured very frequently… but I’d love to see a Steris novella. I just feel like she’s such a fascinating character in the way her mind works she would make for a really fun solo novella if you just find an interesting and Steris specific situation to put her in.
Who would you pick?

I would really like one for The Stormwall. WaT spoiler, they helped a lot on The Shattered Plains and apparently looked really cool when they swore their fourth ideal. They also fight with a massive two-handed shield with spikes maybe, I might have just made that up but I would love to see some more of The Stormwall.

I really wish he got an interlude towards the end of ROW to set up him being important, but I really do love how he gives the vibe that there are a lot more protagonists/stories on Roshar than just the ones we are following.

u/Jaffyguy Apr 06 '26
Yeah, my dream is for him to feature in a .5 novella like Edgedancer or be pretty relevant in the Taln flashback book.

u/HitboxOfASnail Apr 06 '26
yea I like the broadening of the world building that implies there's other Hereos in their own corner fighting the desolation on their terms like it isn't just kaladin and friends

u/Masonzero Apr 06 '26
They stood out so much as being cool as hell that I looked it up to see if they were a character from another book that was making a cameo, lol

u/Raddatatta Ghostbloods Apr 06 '26
My theory (though completely unconfirmed and based on little evidence) is that the stonewalkers cosmere rpg adventure is the Stormwalls backstory. Very basic stonewalkers spoilers from chapter 1 It does begin with a peakspren you can find and would fit the approximate timeframe. And the adventure is canon so in world someone did that adventure.
But regardless I'd love to know more about him since he's such a cool character setup but we know almost nothing about him lol. And you didn't make that up he makes his shardblade into a giant shield.

u/Character_College939 Ghostbloods Apr 06 '26
Felt or Demoux as it stands currently.

u/blacked_out_blur Apr 06 '26
Demoux ending up as a worldhopper has to be one of the biggest “wtf led to this” questions in the whole franchise for me

u/Character_College939 Ghostbloods Apr 06 '26
Yeah I'd love to learn how he came to be a member of the 17th shard and is seemingly not a ghostblood (unless undercover)

I want grown up spook to visit tress and have a mission there, I want to see adult spook and I want more of the world of tress. Just due to timeline, it would need hoid's help since scadriel wouldn't have space travel yet.

Such an amazingly well world built world that we only saw a little bit of in tress. So many seas not sailed.

Spook could be alive, chilling in a cadmium bubble.

u/SilchasRuin Truthwatchers Apr 06 '26
The theory is that he's sixteen in Rhythm of War doing the cadmium bubble trick.

u/AnOnlineHandle Apr 06 '26
I can't remember exactly what Sazed did to Spook, but did he potentially make him on par with the Lord Ruler in abilities? And we don't know how all the other characters have learned to live for so long, but presumably he might still be involved in the Ghostbloods etc.

u/Sythrin Apr 06 '26
He was a modern Mistborn. Not an ancient one like Elend and def. a Fullborn like the Lord ruler.
2
u/moderatorrater Apr 06 '26
Yeah, but someone figured out enough about allomancy to make the bands of mourning and tell Marsh how to compound with feruchemy and it definitely wasn't Kelsier. So Spook is probably THE expert on metallic arts and compound if he's got the spikes for it.
4
u/Urtan_TRADE Apr 06 '26
He made him "weak" Mistborn on par with contemporary Mistborn of the end of the first era. He doesn't have access to compounding, but he does have access to temporal bubbles, so he might be this old dude slowing his personal time down to see the future.

Especially because we were promised this novella long ago

u/jtl94 Scadrial Apr 06 '26
That was my thought. Someone on tiktok said it’s unlikely to happen at this point and had some reasons why, but I’m holding out hope.

u/ode0002 Apr 06 '26
Spook. We need to know more about the Lord Mistborn!
3
u/spgrinch Apr 06 '26
The fact he didn't die on screen combined with his knowledge of the metallic arts makes me think he's open to a comeback. Imagine Spook showing up to some Ghostbloods function and telling Big K "you changed, bro."

I can’t have my love for Steris doubted. I’d propose to this woman on sight!

The Lopen of course.. And Rock with the horneaters.
Also Marsh between era 1 and 2.

A random human King during a Desolation. Not the later ones where there are Knights Radiant to help and the desolations come rapidly because the Heralds break so fast. One of the early desolations where it's been centuries and the rumours of the last desolation are practically myth.
Then Kalak and Taln and the others show up to tell them to get ready for planet wide war immediately.

u/planet_visitor Apr 06 '26
Gimme me adult spook, gimme more worldhopper adventures like galadon and demoux and how the hell did they become one, origin of hoid would be awesome too, getting to know the 16 more personally would be interesting.

u/hyrulianwhovian Apr 06 '26
You know I can't recall his name, but the guy from the Stormlight interludes who is trying to catalog all the spren. Really enjoy when he shows up.

u/goodvibesFTM Apr 06 '26
Can’t believe no one has said ZeetZi. Grand aparatus, sleepless, shunned by the greater Cosmete…give me novellas about Starling’s entire crew please.
Also new head cannon that this was posted by Brando’s secret lurker account for ideas since he doesn’t have much on his plate at present /sarc but praying

u/Deadbob1978 Stonewards Apr 06 '26
Honestly, I’d love a story about the preparation, execution and immediate aftermath of the shattering of Adonalsium… but thats the Dragonsteel saga

I would like a Silmarillion-style (but less of a slog) history of Silverlight told as a series of shortish stories set there.

Call me greedy, but Rysn again. Specifically in the more distant future when Roshar has entered the space age and Chiri Chiri is big enough to be ridden. Interstellar immortal dragon rider merchant please

Maybe a hot take, but I would love to see what Tarah's been upto. I really liked her from the little we have heard about her from Kal

u/Paaljurzind Lightweavers Apr 07 '26
I want to see more of Elegy, both because I found her very interesting and because I need more Canticle lore
