Spoiler Policy Reminder
Under our spoiler policy, any content from books that are not fully released is not allowed on the Coppermind. This includes any information from pre-released sample chapters, readings, and other comments Brandon has made about Stormlight 5. The only exception to this rule is on meta-pages for the books themselves (e.g., Wind and Truth). If you are unsure whether the information you want to add comes from pre-release content, please do not add it and instead ask about it on our Discord.

+ | For many years Brandon Sanderson's fans were using Theoryland Interview Database to store questions answered by Brandon. It was maintained by Robert Jordan's fandom and so it wasn't easy for Brandon's fan to keep up to date. It was obvious that a new solution was required and multiple attempts to set up a new website were made behind the scenes by 17th Shard administration. |
Work on the final version of the website started on 28th of June 2016. A small team started to brainstorm the design and functionality ideas, that were then transformed into a working prototype. The project was publicly announced on 22nd of May 2017 on the 17th Shard forum.{{17s ref|topic|59332|New WoB archive announcement|date=2017-05-22}} On the 6th of June, almost exactly one year after the start of the project, a big group of prominent 17th Shard members were invited to help fill the new website with all known Words of Brandon. Those users would be later known as Arcanists and most of them continue to work on Arcanum to this day. |
