I’ve Been Teleported

[Kered Soulcaster]

I’ve been on deployment for the past few months with sporadic internet access. The last Brandon content I saw was his WoT Finale reaction with Dusty Wheel. 
 

So, imagine my surprise of turning on my phone after my plane touched down, going through texts and headlines and saying to myself “Ah, nothing to crazy happened”. Getting into my Uber and then remembering “I should check out 17th Shard”. Words cannot describe the mind melting chaos that occurred in the back of that 2016 Ford Fusion. 
 

I feel like a caveman transported to the Star Wars universe. 
 

I’ve been trying to listen/read to literally all of the things. So I thought I could ask for a huge favor to kind of jumpstart me getting back up to speed. I’m going to list all the important cosmere impactful stuff I’ve seen so far and if anyone can correct me or fill some the blanks or things I straight up missed, I’d be super grateful. Obviously, I don’t care about being spoiled lol. 

 

Spoiler

-Brandon is madness incarnate and has written 4 books, 3 of which are in the cosmere. 
 

-Brandon kickstarted reached roughly the price of a small island. 
 

-We now have 15 confirmed Shards. 
 

-SA5 prologue released which seems to have basically confirmed that Shallans mom was a Herald and may have helped kickstarted the Desolation because it’s been confirmed that even though he was sent back, Taln did not break. 
 

-Sig held a Dawnshard, the same as Hoids. Kal may or may not be dead or least Sig is surprised to potentially seeing him. Aux is either a dead eye juiced up by the dawnshard or cog shadow of a dead KR. 
 

-A bunch of new Aether info. 
 

-Hoids telling the stories of SP 1 and 3?

 

-The ado mention we see in RoW is in fact Adonalsium and not Ba-Ado?

Yeah, its a lot. Were you able to back the kickstarter in time? I would be disappointed if I were in your situation and didn't.

Wow that's incredible!

Waaaaaaaaaaaait. Not only is there a new shard but she apparently splintered herself?!

 

This catch up is going to take longer than anticipated.
