@AonEne thank you so much!!

Hey everyone! I'm back with some more Cosmere music, this time based on "The Emperor's Soul". I hope you all enjoy it!!

Hey everyone! I am back with another song, this time based on Vin's arc. Please let me know your reactions, feelings, whatever! Enjoy!!

Thank you!!!!!

As I was listening to the audiobook of White Sand, I began to hear what eventually became this song. At first, it was just some strings and piano doing "something interesting and desert-ish" (technical terminology). But it hit me early on: How cool would it be to introduce something Cosmere-related into the lyrics or music? The ketek that makes up the lyrics took me a good day to hone, but I thought it would make a good challenge to musically represent (on a much, MUCH smaller scale) what Brandon is doing in his books by connecting his worlds together. It certainly served to shape the song into what it is! I hope you enjoy it!! Make sure to download the mp3 or WAV below!! HUGE thanks to @Infamoti for his amazing work on this song.

Thank you so much!!!! Glad you enjoyed it!!

He seemed... beyond me, somehow. As his backstory unfolded, I realized how little we had in common at that time in my life; I settled into a good place where I really enjoyed watching him grow and change, accepting that I could invest myself in a character's story without having to fully understand his experiences. In the summer of 2019, my wife became pregnant for the first time in our marriage. We had been married 7 years, 6 of which had been spent trying to grow our family. Weeks later, that child died in the womb from unknown causes. I suddenly understood a little of Kaladin's pain; I was unable to protect my unborn child. We struggled for a year, wrestling with ourselves and God, days blurring into weeks, then months, as we sank into depression. We were surrounded by people who loved, held and heard us, but it took a long time to even begin to move forward from the silence, the grief and the loss. As we slowly crept out into the light again, we chose to trust that continuing the journey as unashamedly broken people was better than pulling the covers over our heads for the rest of our lives. We went to counseling, examined our faith on deeper levels, and spent lots of time with friends and family, sharing what had happened to us and soaking up the encouragement and love of others. In the fall of 2020, months before the birth of our daughter Jane, the chorus of Windrunner began to take shape. I wrote this song to help me move forward in my journey; I hope it helps others as much as it helped me.

Thank you so much!!! Glad you enjoyed it!!

Wow, thank you so much for listening and taking time to comment. I’m so glad you enjoyed it!! Since you mentioned it, I have completed the melody and lyrics (working on arrangement now) for a song based on Kaladin. should be done in a month or so!!

Absolutely!! And THANK YOU!! That means a lot to me. Thank you for listening.

Great question!! I used this exact address to send him some music I composed and actually received a reply from Brandon himself... bucket list = done. haha. Amazing guy!!

Absolutely!! Let me know if you hear anything back!

Hahaaa!! This is an AMAZING story!!! Thank you for sharing it. Not a bad sibling, just ensuring that she thoroughly enjoys all the books!!!

Right, so we found the exact same thing happened to us when we (my wife and I) played a couple of rounds. I realized quickly that using the Soulcaster repeatedly did not allow for actual strategic gameplay. As in we both started bringing out the Soulcaster earlier and earlier and routing each other to oblivion haha. The game has a loooooooot of kinks to be worked out, for sure! There’s also the question of what happens if the different parts of your army become separated...how do you lay new cards? Where?

Wow. That’s amazing. I have no words! If you didn’t see it in the description, you can download the MP3 or WAV if you’d like! Please do if you haven’t, and feel free to share it with anyone!!

Never followed this comment up; I’m sorry!! Thank you so much; I’m glad you enjoyed it!!

Thanks so much @More Cynical Than Funny!!! Glad you enjoyed it!!

That’s great!! Post pics when you get yours in and tag me, I’d love to see them!!

here ya go: https://www.17thshard.com/forum/profile/37294-graulas/ https://www.17thshard.com/forum/profile/25196-parchmentengineer/ you can include me if you’d like, but if anything, as a “collaborator”; those I mentioned above originally came up with the game and designed it.

That is awesome!!!

Thank you!!

YES! I did too. I totally agree on all of your points! I jokingly sang "Kel-see-yer" one time just to see.....it was not pleasant. I found that applying French-ish pronunciations (because I have absolutely no idea if they're remotely close) actually helped me enjoy the books more, go deeper, feel more familiar with the world. Pretty awesome.

THANK YOU!! Yes indeed, I did my research (because I was curious about how people thought it should be pronounced) and saw that Brandon said it should be "Kel-see-ay" ....that's a hefty stamp of approval haha!
