** Originally the book didn't exist at all in the Cosmere. Instead [[spoiler:Vasher was simply a character in TheStormlightArchive. He appeared in the original draft of the book. Warbreaker was eventually written as a backstory and also because Brandon wanted a chance to explore the world of Nalthis for readers.]]
** How awakening worked also changed. Originally you could only awaken things that looked human or were human shaped. Brandon decided this was to limiting and so changed it so anything could be awakened. Instead he made it so awakening human shaped objects just cost less breath than normal.
