The first episode will release in just shy of two weeks from now! Thursday, February 21st We just finished recording our 11th episode, and I'm really excited about how the sessions are panning out. When we first talked about doing the podcast, I was afraid that we weren't going to be able to create something interesting to listen to. After re-listening to some of the episodes for QA purposes though, I'm feel much more confident. I feel like we've got a good cast of Player Characters, and FifthOfDaybreak is doing a great job as the GM/Narrator. Hopefully this isn't just a case of IKEA syndrome, and everyone else enjoys it too.

Agreed. I would even go farther to say that he doesn't want to destroy other sentients, he wants to enslave them. We've seen that he doesn't care who his servants are, so long as they embrace their passion and become subservient to his will. I think we've already seen highly invested people leaving their own planet in Secret History. The (presumably) Elantrians built that city with the glowing stones, and had to keep drinking that white fluid. I suspect that the white fluid has something to do with connection, as Kelsier suddenly started understanding their language when coming into contact with the white energy. I also remember a WOB where he said that it wasn't exactly connection, so there is probably a little more to it. Regardless, while it is difficult, I think we can safely assume that it's doable with the right resources.

I could see a Cosmere themed South Park episode based on these two ideas as a premise.

Thank you, I did find it interesting. @Fifth of Daybreak is actually my brother, and it is from him that I became convinced that autonomy is the author of the second letter. I wasn't aware of that thread (I haven't spent much time on the shard forums yet), so I find it funny that I ended up re-treading the same arguments that had already been hashed out. I find it interesting how @Oversleep had taken the same passages that I had thought showed strong support for autonomy, and saw them as strong arguments against them. To me, this just shows how huge of a difference certain interpretations can make. When I read the second letter, I saw the use of "we" as more of a "royal we" than a "literal we". In other words, I saw the verbiage as more of an act to differentiate personas than as a literal split of minds. I can understand how it would be taken that way though, and, now that I've seen the arguments for ambition, I find it very plausible (if not for the confirmation that Patji is related to autonomy from last week's signing).

Fair enough. I would say that the evidence for it is rather strong though: Then there's the content of the second letter in OB (https://coppermind.net/wiki/Oathbringer/Epigraphs#Chapter_40): This seems to be the most likely letter in OB that refers to Patji, and the author talks about having several representations of him/herself. In other WOB, Brandon has specified that Bavadin has entire pantheons of gods that are all her. He also indirectly confirms that Bavadin is autonomy (I can dig these up as well if you'd like).

WOB confirms that Patji *is* autonomy (or as she puts it in OB an "avatar" of her). https://wob.coppermind.net/adv_search/?query=patji
