Given that the blurb mentions New Seran as the destination, I'd say not. Interesting to note is the name "New Seran," though. In WoA, the Conventical of Seran was a Steel Ministry building that contained some major plot points.

Welcome! If anyone tries to sell you a cookie, be aware that pastries around these parts tent to have abnormally high iron content. That's an interesting piece of information, thanks for sharing!

He hadn't even been in the city an hour before someone tried to shoot him. They should have known better. Timelock's danger sense kicked in, and the world around him froze, allowing him to see and avoid the bullet that had been speeding towards his head. He glanced around, noting the sniper on a nearby rooftop, then casually stepped to the side. As soon as he was clear of the bullet, time sped back to normal and the projectile flew past his head. Timelock pulled out his own firearm and carefully fired three shots at where the gunman had been hiding. He missed, of course. You could hardly expect to hit anything so far away with a pistol. That hadn't been the point. He was sending a message: I know you're there. Don't mess with me. Timelock, an Epic once known to the fine people of the world as Charles Frederick Williamson, had entered Astoria, possibly one of the most dangerous cities this side of the Rocky Mountains. He noticed with some confusion that the sky, despite it being late evening, was tinted a peculiar shade of green, and that various chunks of the city seemed to be crusted with what looked like diamonds. He strode forward, ignoring the oddities for the time being, and surveyed the buildings ahead. He could see the faces of the plains as they huddled in their homes, watching from behind curtains. Those faces vanished as he drew close. Such fear, he thought. Turf wars among Epics had not done good things for the state of Oregon. He walked up to one of the buildings, a nice hotel, and walked in, passing the check-in desk by. The receptionist looked as though he was going to object, but something in Timelock's demeanor convinced him otherwise. Timelock walked over to the elevator, hit the button and waited. The elevator dinged and the doors slid open, revealing a group of plains who started at the sight of him and rushed out. Amused, Timelock stepped in and hit the button for the highest floor. Minutes later, he was at the door of a handsome suite. He knocked. A man in a black suit trimmed with red answered it. Gravitas, otherwise known as Caleb Johnson, one of Timelock's old college friends. Upon seeing Timelock, he showed a rare smile. "Frederick!" he said. "Good to see you! Good to see you. Come in, please." Timelock did so.

Huzzah, I posted my first character in Astoria! This is rather fun. How do you all feel about self-insertion? Not that I was planning it or anything, completely hypothetical, why do you ask...

Might I trouble you fine folks for a quick summary of Astoria, so I can make sure everything's up to speed with my character before I post him? Nothing lengthy (and I realize Astoria's like only four pages, but that's still a fair amount of material), just something brief would be fine.

Thanks! Okay, he'll show up soon. I haven't written that much, so expect substandard prose.

I'm baaack! Anyways, here's the revised character profile: And as Astoria seems to be heating up rather, would that still be a good place for him to be?

Oh, wonderful! Thanks!

I'll say it again: is there any mass index of WoB's? Because people keep referencing them and I would like to read them.

Large images because reasons and weird formatting: Spoiler for WoR: If Feather were here:

Probably some weird Cosmere-meets-Middle-Earth-meets-Doctor-Who type thing. And with a progressive society a la Mistborn. So one day I'm fighting off orcs with Allomancy and the One Ring and then hundreds of years later I'm on the TARDIS exploring the universe.

*hyperventilation*

Here are these ones I made...

Two ways: there's a little button on the full editor nest to the font that says "Special BBCode." Click it. There will be a menu, choose "Spoiler." [ spoiler ] Or like this, but without spaces in the brackets. [ /spoiler ]

Ohhh... where to begin? Mistborn: Stormlight: Warbreaker: And yes, it's not really Cosmere, but still. Firefight:

So much yes. I am eternally grateful that I don't get carsick reading.

'Tis Kai. Now, hiatus. See y'all in a month or so.

No. That clue was so meta it's not even funny.

I'm really looking forwards to ten hours of meetings over the weekend. ... For all you non-Mormons, Saturday and Sunday is what we call General Conference, and it's twice a year. And it's always really awesome.

Erm... no. Hint: it only just arrived.

Neither. I'm getting rather bored with this thread, so I made it relatively easy. I hope.

Well, I'm pretty sure that's where Odium is, so... there's that. Awesome question, and an answer that should feed the theorymonsters for some time.
