Beyond the code / A reader’s atlas
Other worlds.
Same curiosity.
A small corner of my site for Brandon Sanderson’s Cosmere. Four worlds, different rules, and connections waiting to be noticed.
Scroll to travel / Premises, not plot twists
Stop 01 / Mistborn
Scadrial
01 / 04A world with rules to discover.
Mistborn brings a heist story into an epic fantasy setting. Its rule-based magic makes the world especially inviting to explore.
The invitation: notice a rule, follow its consequences, and see how the pieces fit.
Stop 02 / The Stormlight Archive
Roshar
02 / 04A landscape shaped by storms.
The Stormlight Archive takes place on Roshar, where powerful storms shape the landscape and the life that survives there.
The invitation: consider a world where the environment changes how everything is built.
Stop 03 / Warbreaker
Nalthis
03 / 04Another way to see the world.
Warbreaker is a standalone story set in a world with colour-based magic. A different texture within the same shared universe.
The invitation: look at familiar things through a different set of rules.
Stop 04 / Elantris
Sel
04 / 04A mystery beneath the surface.
Elantris is set on Sel. Its story centres on a city and a broken magic system whose mystery draws its characters forward.
The invitation: ask what changed, and what that change reveals about the whole system.
The people inside the worlds

A bookish idea.
Made into software.
Roshar is also the name of one of my personal C++ and Qt projects: a desktop application for Stormlight Archive quotes, with timed updates, system tray integration, and display settings. A little overlap between the things I like to read and the things I like to build.
