I also support this very much. Information like this is available, to a lesser extent, in the Ars Arcanums present in the cosmere books. Something like this for the Reckonersverse would enlighten fans exceedingly. I know that at least those of us present in the Oregon RP would die for such a book and likely many other fans of Mr. Sanderson. Would something like a Kickstarter help with this project? This is less likely, but were this to happen, how opposed would Brandon be to including certain cameos of unnamed fan-created Epics, not that I'm thinking of any in particular.

That is a very good point. Okay, they recruited the survivors of Connell's army and from Fort Lewis near DuPont. Huh. I'm very curious about the purpose behind this. Alan me? I could see it being either way, but he'll definitely know a basic amount of Spanish and a passing amount of German. That is a very reasonable point. Jag and Hawk both know each other's, but the others' are secret. Des's could be set off fairly easily in the right circumstances, but for Smasher's, you have to know his history. Which reminds me, I need to PM you those weaknesses.

I am voting for Joe. I will move to the Theater.

Newan had a different island called Order which is where the Chaos Epics ruled.

Bummer, I hope all goes well and you can join us again soon. It's a diamond formation: x x x x But now Desolation is in the center of it, Hawk on the left, Smasher on the right, Metalmech in back, and Jag at the front. It's actually been almost a week since they defeated the Epics in Connell. They spent two days there, a day traveling to DuPont, and then a couple days there, and a day to travel to Astoria. They managed to get a Hummer for Des, but they didn't have a lot of time to weapon isle it much, so there's only a machine gun on top. Their commandos are gathered from the jails of both cities, and they choose the best of the ones most suited to hand to hand combat, light weapons, and heavy weapons. They've completely refilled their commandos, now with a unit for Desolation too, so there's 25 of them. In the battle at Connell only about 6-8 of the original 20 Commandos survived, so no, until further notice, I'm not particularly attached to any.

What do you guys think and what are the other ponies I scored high on like? wow. I really like him! I want to see these now. Storms yes. Dalinar would feel the pull of Nighthound's evilness and be drawn to it and wouldn't be able to carry on until he eradicated it.

Like I said, subtlety isn't the Destructors' forte.

Jag gathered the other Destructors into the prison's central room. They had finished their time in Connell. A couple days had been plenty to restore their Commando ranks to full status and to take advantage of what the ruined city had. Now Jaguar was itching to move on and to fight again. "Now that've we've used what we can from Connell, it's time to move on," Jag began. "Washington's been good to us, but I think it's time to try our luck in Oregon. Any suggestions?" Hawk, like usual, spoke first. "Madras would be a good choice for us. Not too big, but it was a county seat pre-Calamity. It would have what we need." Jag nodded. Madras had been one of the options he was considering. Smasher spoke in agreement of Madras. Metalmech seemed pleased too. Desolation had a dark look on his face. "Madras? That's a tiny city. We're five Epics, and not weak ones either. We can take large cities easily. I vote that we hit Astoria," Desolation argued. "Astoria? That's the Diamond Queen's territory!" Hawkwing retorted. "So? We're the Destructors. Five High Epics, and we're just taking the easy pickings?" "She's gathered powerful Epics to her side too. The Metal, Bloody Mary? Heard of them? The Metal took all of Lucentia's might to subdue. Now he works for her. Astoria would be too much," Smasher said. "You are indestructible. You can go intangible and create force fields. Why does she scare you? Hawk can fly and reincarnate. Jag's got brute strength, impervious skin, and a slew of other minor powers. Metalmech can control tanks with his mind and heal from injuries. I can't be touched and I can fly and vaporize things. What do we have to fear?" Desolation asked. "Jag, tell him he's crazy," Hawk said. "He's got a point," Jag said thoughtfully. "We are powerful and now we have his help too. Astoria might not be bad. It'd build our reputation and last longer." Jag thought for a moment. "Alright, Des, we'll stop in DuPont back west first and if you prove well there, we'll move on to Astoria." "Fine," Desolation agreed. "I'll hold you to that." He left the room angry, but satisfied and Jag shook his head. Des was a bomb waiting to go off. He needed to gain better control over his emotions. Smasher looked frustrated, but he trusted Jag's judgement. Desolation stormed out of the room, needing to deal with his stress somehow. He stalked down the street, frustration furrowing his brow. He'd thought that the Destructors would understand how he felt. How did they not feel powerful? How could they let inferiors scare them? Des vaporized holes in buildings as he walked. Some crumbled from the lack of support and fell behind him. Desolation reached the place he had been walking to. The Stained Gorilla, a tattoo parlor. It wasn't in very good condition but it was still open. He vaporized the door and strode in. "I need more ink," he declared. The lone woman working on a detailed image of an elephant on a customer's arm turned and dropped her needle. "Hey! I was here first!" The man with half an elephant on his arm yelled. He turned and saw Desolation, eyes widening in fear. Des walked confidently to the man and grabbed his throat, fists aflame. "I'm sorry," the man croaked. "Yes, you are," Desolation said firmly. He clenched his fist tighter, squeezing until the spark faded from the man's eyes. He vaporized the body and turned to the woman. "Now, it's my turn." She nodded fearfully. Desolation had gotten rid of his tight muscle shirt from his time as a Commando and now wore a dark green tank top instead. He had dyed his Mohawk bright red as well. He had had many tattoos on his biceps before he had been put in prison. Desolation pulled out the crude drawing he had sketched earlier. It depicted swirled lines to resemble wind and scattered specks to represent dust. "I want this on both sides of my head and flames burning up my forearms. Understood?" The woman nodded. He sat on the chair which, a few minutes ago, had been occupied by another man. The woman fearfully inked his skin professionally. When she finished, Desolation looked himself over in the mirror. He smiled at his new body art. "Thank you for your service," Des said as he faced the woman. He controlled the air in front of and behind her and squeezed them together. Pressed by invisible forces, the woman struggled to breathe. Des pushed harder and she ceased her struggling. He walked out of the parlor, dropping her body to the ground. He felt better now with his new art and anger soothed. He would be moving on to Astoria and proving his worth as a High Epic and now he looked the part. Jag was impressed with Desolation. His drive coupled with his powerset had allowed him to almost singlehandedly take over DuPont. The other Destructors had barely even started entering the city when Des charged in and took control very quickly. Astoria would definitely be the place for them now. Hawk was doing his preliminary airborne scan of the city to check the defenses. He reported that the perimeter of diamond spikes was the only real defense. No guards were even standing by the border, a sign of Lucentia's arrogance. The Destructors would be attacking from the south of the city. Jag gave the order and they formed up into their standard diamond position. He took point with Metalmech in the rear and now Desolation had his commandos in the middle of the formation. "Attack with full brutality," Jag commanded over the mobiles. "We know the power of these Epics so we need to be careful but brutal. Plow forward and head for the Diamond Castle." He began the assault by signaling Metalmech to shoot the diamond border with the tank. A few hits was enough to blow a hole in the border for them to fit through. Jag began the entrance into Astoria.

What about guards, Epic or vanilla? I think the main issue is that for the most part, fans here don't like the Reckoners much. They usually read it, but even then, I know quite a few people who haven't read the Reckoners at all. They just don't find it as interesting and I can see their PoV, but you'd think that at least a couple people besides us would like to know the answers to these.

Fatebreaker had one and I need to finish up Flashpoint's, but if you want, I can always do that as a flashback.

Edge, what are the borders of Astoria like? I have the rest of the Destructors' post written, I just need the actual entrance into the city. It'll be big and obvious. They don't do anything subtle.

I'm pretty sure shooting Alan goes against the law, not only the forum policies. Both the map and Illustrated Guide would be awesome! I would totally support you in that thread.

I am glad to see my Hatred has pervaded even the strongest among you.

Yes, you should've. I was the first to take them from you, I think. So I guess I started a trend by stealing from you?

Okay, I'll try to get it up today. Ah, okay, that makes more sense now. I didn't realize she could move light and sound. So, how has she assimilated all this blood? Is it similar to what Canis did in having all his citizens create a small cut in themselves and then he touched each person's? The best way to solve this is just to have us all post some Reckoners questions in the Signing threads so that people will see them and think to ask about them. I see that some of you have already done so.

Edge, I think Someone asked this already, but I'm still confused. I just read over Mary's profile again and I'm not sure how she's able to know everything going on in the city. She can only move through blood and control it. How does she talk/listen/see through that?

I am voting for Snoopy. I am staying in the Lounge.

Edge, I should have the Destructors enter Astoria today or tomorrow, so if you want Mary to see that, we can plan that.

I am voting for Snoopy. I am staying in the Lounge.

The Shipmistress and Head Gm herself is on my side, Kobold. I don't think you'll win this one.

Storm it, Twi! How did you know? I wanted to surprise everyone by giving the okay on killing an Epic I don't even have control over.

And wow. 6 days and we're almost half done with this thread. Soon we'll need our own forum and then our own website.

I have??? I just recently gave the go-ahead for it yesterday. But it isn't hard to guess, and I've likely said something of the sort in a PM before. Only so many of my characters would I let go so easily. And this one isn't really mine.
