Sixth of the Dusk is a cosmere novella by Brandon Sanderson set on the planet First of the Sun.[1] The novella was created as part of the Writing Excuses podcast, where Brandon, Dan Wells, Howard Tayler, and Mary Robinette Kowal each brainstormed a story, and gave feedback to each other. These stories were released together as Shadows Beneath, which detailed the process of taking the drafts they each wrote, and editing them with the feedback given.[2]

An excerpt is available on Brandon's website.

The complete novella is also now included in Arcanum Unbounded.

Summary

The story follows a trapper named Sixth of the Dusk as he strives to save his island home from a catastrophic danger he has been warned about, but does not understand.

Main Characters

Sixth of the Dusk
A trapper working on the island of Patji. He knows much about Aviar, is very practical, and mistrusts people from the mainland. He both loves and hates Patji.
Vathi
A capable noblewoman with a thirst for exploration. She was educated on the mainland and travels with a band of explorers. She meets occasionally with the Ones Above. While she respects trappers, she supports technological advancements.
Kokerlii
An Aviar - a cognitively-gifted bird who can shield Sixth's cognitive markers so other animals that track cognitive signals cannot find him.
Sak
An Aviar - a cognitively-gifted bird who can warn Sixth of the Dusk of danger by showing him visions of his own corpse in locations where it might be if he makes a mistake, so that he can avoid those places. Sak is not a member of a species native to Patji or any island of the Pantheon. Sak was instead brought from the mainland to the place on Patji where Aviar go to get their talent, or cognitive ability.
Ones Above
A spacefaring race that have visited First of the Sun and possess advanced technology.
