Helloooo

[Yvadril]

How did I only discover Brandon Sanderson in 2026??!! Started the Stormlight Archive (currently Words of Radiance) and then started to realize the extent of the Cosmere. Fast evolving into a superfan. Submitted my email for Dragonsteel Nexus yesterday—anyone else? Everyone?

I wish I could go…

Welcome to the Shard, by the way!

which radiant oath resonates with you the most?

[Deception He/Him]

Well I'm not Yvadirl but ima answer anyway. This one is real original:

Life before death. Strength before weakness. Journey before destination.

Bet you've never heard it before.

[Yvadril]

Thanks for the welcome! 

I'm not sure I'm far enough in to know them all yet! So much to learn, but I'm also wary of spoilers because I want to read as much as I can before I learn too much lore.

What's the Discord situation like? Any good recommendations? Or do a lot of people hang in these forums?

I've literally never used the discord in my life, so I have no idea what it is like. 

The forum community is great, though. If you scroll down under the forums page you can see who's online, and the amount of people is usually pretty big. And if you post a question, it gets put on a special unanswered list until someone responds, so your questions will probably never be ignored.

I would recommend finishing the Stormlight Archive series before really doing too much on this site. Most of the things on the site seem to be about those books, and there isn't much content that talks about the Stormlight Archive, but only up to Words of Radiance.

Also people here are lazy and call Words of Radiance WoR and Wind and Truth is WaT so if you see that you know what it means now.

 

This isn't just a book discussion forum! There's also a lot of fun role play (like my thread below - you probably shouldn't look at it until you finish Stormlight though), and also just goofy stuff like Battle for the Sandwich and Count as high as you can before a moderator posts (also below).

My RP Thread:

Goofy stuff:
