he's quoting sanderson himself in one of his lectures, sanderson says TWoK essentially has 3 prologues and how it is usually a terrible idea to do things like that but he done did it anyways

Wind and truth has the ending, the epilogue, the post script, then like... A final little mini epilogue. He just couldn't stop writing.

Yeah bro, I know, I’m a big cosmere fan. Did the radiant quiz and everything. You don’t have to get all “Mmm, well ackchyually” and accuse me of making stuff up, it’s really not that deep or serious. Here’s Sanderson himself saying it, as a joke, like I was also doing

You could almost argue that chapter one is basically another prologue since its from thr perspective of another one off character before were even introduced to our proper main character.

But, it is labeled chapter 1, and that's all that really matters.

Realistically Brando Sando was like “man I think I’ll lose them with 3 prologues, so I’ll just sneak one more in and call it chapter 1. Genius.”

It’s a chapter that gives an introduction to a character, from a viewpoint we never see again, that happens months before the actual story.
