Last week, I promised that I’d update you on the state of my various projects! Here are those updates, in the form of cryptic but accurate statements.
Some of them are less cryptic than others. Elder Empire: A man on a long journey may take many twists and turns, until even he cannot tell when he will arrive at his destination, but his journey continues regardless. City of Light audio: The city’s gates groan as they prepare to open. Soulsmith audio: In one turning of the moon, the world may change. Underlord: The boy shifted in his chair, sweating. “I know I said I would stop crying wolf. I meant it, I swear. But it just rolls off the tongue so easily.” He straightened suddenly, stabbing his finger at the door. “LOOK OUT, A WOLF!” No one turned, and he shrank back. “Last time, I promise.” -Will

He did warn that his "updates" were going to be cryptic. At least we know Underlord isnt going to be hitting the shelves any time soon. Back to grinding my teeth in anxiety waiting i guess.
Taking the metaphor too far

I don`t know I`m gonna take it as there really is a wolf this time and Underlord is just around the corner(and it`s crying wolf because for the last two Cradle books he said OKAK will be finnished before the next Cradle).

Yup, I'm guessing it was the last time because they were all about to be eaten by a wolf. Can't cry wolf if your in the belly of the beast. Hope Simon is nearby to save the day.

He is actually quiet good. Whenever I see him posting stuff here, and engaging his fan based, I enjoyed it. but I also fear that its wasted not working on his books. Haha. Although he does reply to my emails as well. All three of em. So he engages very well. Good man! Now go back to shaping the Will-o-verse!!

Lol your updates seem to be lacking substance. That's okay though, we will gripe and complain but will continue to wait lol.

I agree, except I think CoL will be out before Soulsmith and we should expect soulsmith before the end of november.

Just wanted to say that I love your stories. You've done a great job producing quality work at a reasonable pace, and I hope that the community involvement is nothing but a help to you!

Reviews are pretty much always useful. Self-published authors basically live and die by their reviews. Just having more makes it so that Amazon's algorithm is more likely to show Cradle to people looking at fantasy novels. 10/22/2018 11:47:23 am
This. Getting a new review, a good one, is a strong boost to an author's sales algorithms, a HUGE boost for their spirits on that day, and an even larger boost to their desire to keep writing content.

I choose to see the cryptic date 12/01/18 and choose to believe it's the release date for Underlord. No one tell me otherwise.

Underlord? 2018? Will=God if true?

Can't wait for Underlord. But no stress. I have taken up reading wuxia for the time being (sovereign of the three realms). Just write the Underlord to be as good as Ghostwater but please make it a little more bigger.

This update made me laugh. I'm excited and I know I shouldn't be. All updates should be like this

This is my interpenetration of the cryptic updates. I make no claims about their accuracy.

OKAK, Will is aiming for November 1, 2018, but will miss that deadline and instead release December 1, 2018.

If that last one is you actually saying Underlord before OKAK....

That was my reading of it. The thing that will happen, for me at least, is I will read Underlord and enjoy it.
JR
10/19/2018 06:08:43 pm
I will gladly take Underlord and the next 3 Cradle books before OKAK! Thanks for the update Will!!

Will your cryptic updates were better than actual ones. It also reminds me of your story telling. Eithan and his nonchalant everything will be fine attitude as well as the old man in the Travelers Gate and his cryptic warnings for Simon. Your books are amazing, can't wait for Underlord.

Will you don’t fail to disappoint, even in a cryptic sort of update blog post! Can’t wait for the next book to be out, no matter the series! I’m sure everyone else feels the same way as me and appreciate all of your hard work!
Encouragement…hopefully.
10/22/2018 11:21:21 pm
For some strange reason, I want to say ‘thank you’ to all the commenters who write encouraging messages. Discouragement does not help people to write…or to do anything, really.
Guy
10/23/2018 11:03:45 am
It probably helps that you publish novels incredibly quickly even if its not always the one we expect! I love all three of your series, so I'm happy regardless of what you put out.

So what are the chances of seeing a new book (any book) this year. If it takes 7-8 months for underlord, it's going to be next year and same for any elder empire book.
Joey
10/24/2018 07:01:07 am
I know this wasnt part of your comments but I'm curious are we ever going to get more Travelers Gate? Or maybe some short stories?
Kwang
10/24/2018 04:14:15 pm
I expect so. Back before Cradle took off Will often talked about the sequel series to Traveler's Gate, which he'd named Traveler's Blade.

I‘ll hope for the 11/20/18 ;-)

I think a 12/01 release makes a lot of sense and my bet is that's when Will is aiming to release Underlord if all goes well. No one is productive during the holidays so I think that's the latest possible realistic date if he wants to release something more this year.

Good afternoon Will Wight I humbly request that you publish more books thank you.

A sellswords compassion is a pretty good book if anyone is looking for something to read.

Oh man Will, this update was beautiful. I can't wait for Underlord. Admittedly I haven't read OKAK. I am considering buying all of the Cradle books again. You are definitely my favorite author. Keep up the great work!

Asking this here because it's been bugging me a while. I didn't miss any description of Lindon's goldsign right? We don't have that info yet. right?
JR
11/11/2018 04:25:36 pm
He has a gold sign for BF but not for his pure core. BF sign is his red and black eyes when he is channeling his BF madra.
Alex K.
11/11/2018 04:32:18 pm
OK, so it's not an obvious goldsign like Yerrin's sword tentacles. the Naru wings, or Akura Harmony's disk. I thought the idea of a Truegold's goldsign was to be an obvious physical representation of their madra.
JR
11/11/2018 04:36:12 pm
O it is very much an obvious one when he is using his BF core. It likely does not represent all the time due to his dual core setup. AND he has a contract with a live sacred beast instead of absorbing a remnant. It is theorized that he can get another gold sign for his pure core IF he absorbs a remnant for that or maybe contracts with another sacred beast.... we do not yet know and o believe Will has Said RAFO. (Read and find out)

11/11/2018 06:41:30 pm
Last question: Is the rank hierarchy posted anywhere, and am I missing anything here? Copper, Jade, Iron, Low gold, High Gold, TrueGold, Underlord, Sage, Overlord, Monarch?
JR
11/11/2018 09:11:08 pm
Underlord, Overlord, Archlord, Sage ( offshoot of AL. Shows you have gained particular insight into your path), Herald, Monarch.
Shadow Fan
11/11/2018 09:25:58 pm
Where did you find the list? Is it from the mythology that it is based on, or did Will post it in a blog post that I missed, or was it gone over in the books, and I just forgot?

Pretty sure it's common knowledge now. We talk about it a lot in the discord for wills books. I am sure it has been gone over in the books and short stories. But I could not point you right at it.
