Chapter 115 (Testament)
Icons: Kalak and Ash, mirrored as per usual. My guess about the symmetry being broken is wrong, or only applies to chapters with the new Odium.
Epigraph: This El seems like a jolly fellow. Let’s support his candidacy for overlord.
Shallan is trying to rehabilitate her first spren, now named Testament. This is going to be a long, laborious process. Props to Shallan for embarking

Chapter 114 (Broken Gods)
Icons: Betab and Palliah, doubled but not mirrored, similar to last chapter. Hm. Has the symmetry been broken by the ascension of a new Odium? Is that what’s going on here? I guess I’ll have to see if the pattern holds.
Chapter icon is intelligent Taravangian.
Epigraph: Speaking as a human, I’m not too keen on being helped to my “final Passion,” thanks. Sorry, El. Not a fan of th
Welcome to my liveblog of Rhythm of War! Index post here. Beware of spoilers.
NOTE: Many, many apologies for the delay. Yes, it's been six months since my last entry. Don't worry, we're in the home stretch now. The end is in sight!
Chapter 113 (Emotion)
Icons: Compassionate Taravangian at the top. Chach and Nale as dual herald icons, but not mirrored. Weird. What’s this intended to mean?
Epigraph: Best guess is that El is going to be Odium’s champion. I don’t think we’ve met him ye
Thanks everyone for 1000+ views! Means a lot. I'm glad you guys all enjoy my art enough to look at it, lol.
Here's Heather Celeste, at one of the balls held in her step-mother's castle. Originally inspired by a drawing I did about two years ago of Ember and Heather dancing.
Uhh... where did we leave off?
Dyson Sphere... system-wide production... extensive use of all immediately available resources...
Gotcha. Kay. We're back.
Stellar Engine! Left y'all hanging on that. It's a real piece of work, taking the power of a dyson sphere to do the unimaginable:
Move the solar system.
All the planets, asteroids, and stuff in our system are tidally-locked to our star: "the Sun" (as it is rather uncreatively named). Therefore, by moving the Sun, you ca
My anniversary with @The Ward's Guard is coming up this Friday, so I made a gift for him in the form of all his characters! I'll send it to him today. I think it's the perfect marriage of my creativity and his.
Last entry was a bit of a hoax, as I really didn't go much into traveling through space that much. I guess I needed to clarify the beginnings of something rather important:
The Kardashev Scale.
Theorized by Nikolai Kardashev back in the 1960s, likely as a supplement to the space race and whatnot. The scale is an early attempt at defining 'levels' of alien life and civilization, based on something very important to the universe: energy. All matter and forces can be traced back to the pu
Previously on Space Travel:
Railguns! Trebuchets! All methods we can use to traverse our local solar system. Things get complicated, though, when we try to look beyond. Halving the time it takes to get somewhere doesn't mean squat when we get to things like light-years.
Let's math this problem real quick. The closest start to us is Proxima Centauri (which I knew off the top of my head, btw; FEAR MY POWER). It's just over four light-years away, or 40,208,000,000,000 kilometers from Eart
Alright, let's start with the basics. To make a space opera, you have to get to space. Now, us humans have already done that... but in just about the single most innefficient way possible. We jam-packed a bunch of metal tubes with straight Hydrogen and lit it all on fire to explode a few lucky individuals into low Earth orbit. The Apollo 11 mission's Saturn V rocket was the most powerful boi ever to be yeeted into space, and burned TWENTY TONNES of fuel per SECOND as it was launching. The propel
