A Lift chapter! Huzzah! I saw the feast POV symbol and got confused for a moment. I’d almost forgotten which symbol was hers.

Lift is gonna make up some secret handshakes. I can’t wait to see how impractical they are.

Title: Obstacle
Not sure if Shallan is the obstacle here or if she’s facing one. Glad to see it is in fact a Shallan chapter, though. I rather expected a POV switch again.
Icon: Chach
Destruction from the fight, is my first guess, but maybe it’s for obedience. Or possibly Mraize or Iyatil’s spren makes them an alternate version of a Releaser/Dustbringer. Still guessing they’re Elsecallers, but we hav

Title: What is Right
I dunno, but Szeth’s whole rigidity of belief suggests that he’s not going to take well to whatever lesson of nuance his father tries to teach him here.

Honorblades make an appearance?
Apparently Szeth’s mom Zeenid teaches painting in town. That’s got to be rather prestigious given the Shin respect fo

Title: Hunting the Hunter
Shallan doing her infiltration. At a guess this is suggesting she gets caught/recognized and Mraize does his gentleman antagonist thing and compliments her before trying for murder. We’ll see. Hopefully the chapter sticks with her long enough to progress the ghostblood thing and not just take us to the next cliffhanger. I’m looking forward to seeing how she handles the challenge of

Title: Purposeful Danger
See, the most likely/obvious interpretation of this is Shallan putting herself in danger for a purpose in attending this meeting. However we could all soon be purposefully dangerous in either threatening the ghostbloods overtly, or in the ghostbloods agenda using the danger that they pose to influence the course of events. That same interpretation could apply to other groups outside
1 Now it came to pass after these things that God tested Abraham, and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."
2 Then He said, "Take now your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."
3 So Abraham rose early in the morning and saddled his donkey, and took two of his young men with him, and Isaac his son; and he split the wood for the burnt offering, and aros

Title: In the Dancing Ring
That’s one way to euphemize a likely death dojo. Until told otherwise, that’s how I will picture the honorblade training Szeth’s family got.

King of heralds, appropriate for a presumed introduction of honorblades and oaths, not to mention the extreme piety that Szeth presumably acquired from his family.
I note also the color-swapped Szeth for these flashb
Nicodemus
1 There was a man of the Pharisees named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews. 2 This man came to Jesus by night and said to Him, "Rabbi, we know that You are a teacher come from God; for no one can do these signs that You do unless God is with him.
3 Jesus answered and said to him, "Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God."
4 Nicodemus said to Him, "How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter a second time into his mothe
The Eternal Word
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made. 4 In him was life, and the life was the light of men. 5 And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it.

The guards tossed me unceremoniously to the floor. My face hit with a smack that left my head spinning. That went well. I struggled to my hands and knees, only for a guard to crack me on the skull with the butt of his spear. Stars flashed across my vision, and I collapsed back to the ground. I rolled onto my back and found myself looking up at a man in a dark robe. He looked about how you’d expect for an evil wizard, but his staff was rather interesting. It appeared to be a roughly carved tree l

It began early one morning while I was working in my shop, enjoying a quiet day of peace. That peace was banished as a very distressed young man burst through my front door and nearly collapsed onto the floor, breathing heavily. He had unremarkable features in my estimation, but at his side hung perhaps the most beautiful rapier I had ever seen in my life. The blade was thin and elegant, made from pure white metal I had never seen before and honed to perfection with a razor edge on both sides. T

Navani's Notebook - Part I
A page from Navani’s Notebook! Finally! I love deciphering these pages and looking at the beautiful sprengineering sketches.
The contents of this page are pretty obvious from the chapter we’ve just read, so before going through the text I’ll just appreciate the art for a moment. The oven looks elegant, especially with its little exhaust attractor at the top. Such a neat ae

I've decided that I'll have one character type, so that I can get this game out with relative ease.
I'll only be drawing the important ones (Like the form cards, for example, if any of yall have played slay the spire)
The main builds that I will have are:
Strength (Get powerful buffs to damage) - [Rage Against the Machine Build]
Block (Have a ridiculous amount of block.) - [Elegance in Spelling build]
