An introduction

[S.T. Ockenner]

Greetings, humans, kandra, parshendi, and spren!

 I am known as S.T. Ockenner; that is not my true name, but my pen name (I have yet to publish any of my books, but they are in progress)

Lovely to meet you all!

Thank you for the welcome!

 

I am writing a fantasy story, with slight elements of humour, with a world loosely inspired by Wheel of Time, Brandon Sanderson books and Legend of Zelda, featuring a magic system revolving around magical obelisks. There’s a whole origin story about those, but I won’t get into it here just in case you end up reading my story when it’s published (don’t want to spoil it) 

[Edema Rue she/her]

Welcome! 

Good, we always need more Wheel of Time fans here. Happy writing!

[The Wandering Wizard he/him]

Welcome to the shard!

[Robin Sedai she/her]

That’s a difficult question to answer!

The magic system in Mistborn is interesting and satisfying, I think I’ll have to pick that.

Welcome to the shard! It's always great to have another writer on the site.

I totally agree. The stormlight archive is my favourite series, but the mistborn magic system is awesome. When I'm trying to come up with magic systems, my goal is always this level of detail and epicness. 

Btw your pen name is really cool.

Good time of day, so... another sharder, yay! More blood to fuel our endless wheel of destruction! I mean another therapist! Whoops, I really meant another enjoyer of books.

Hehe that is humorous. I am here to fuel the endless wheel of destruction. And I am totally a therapist. Those are definitely not lies.

I started with the  Stormlight Archives, so I get you there.
