Jordan mentioned several times that he planned another fantasy series set in a different kind of world. He said that it would be a Sh?gun-esque series about a man in his 30s who is shipwrecked in an unknown culture which would be similar to Seanchan culture in his Wheel of Time series and world. The books would detail his adventures there, and would have been titled Infinity of Heaven.

He said that he would have begun writing these after finishing his work on the 12th and final main sequence book of The Wheel of Time. Jordan said, “Infinity of Heaven almost certainly will be written before the prequels, though I might do them between the Infinity books.” Also according to Dragonmount.com, Jordan planned to write some side-story novels, before completely abandoning his decades-long work. Jordan had particularly stressed that this series would be significantly shorter than The Wheel of Time saga (about 6 books long and essentially two trilogies)

“My editor [who is also his wife, Harriet] says it will be people’s chance to see a society like the Seanchan Empire [from The Wheel of Time], but that is simply because most of the action will take place in a culture much like Seanchan. The main male character, who is shipwrecked there, comes from a place that might be considered a cross between Elizabethan England and the Italian city-states of the Renaissance with touches of the seventeenth century. I intend him to be a man in his thirties, a man of some experience and worldliness in his own culture (though this does him only occasional good where he finds himself), in contrast to Rand’s innocence and naiveté. The major female character is a noblewoman of the land where he is shipwrecked; by the law, whatever is cast up on the shores of her estates belongs to her: the ship, its cargo — its crew. Of course, a good many details will surely change between now and the commencement of writing (they always do), but that is the general form.” Infinity of Heaven will have one culture that is “much more readily apparent as being 17th, early 18th century at technological level, cultural levels. I dislike the view of the world of the Wheel of Time as medieval.”
