Oh boy, we learned about so much lore in Starsight! Let's talk about it. We talk about delver mazes, figments, slugs, and of course, Twilight Imperium.
Today on Shardcast, we start talking about the Words of Brandon from our interview with Brandon in July. We get through a record low amount of WoBs, but we discuss Mistborn: Ghostbloods and Yumi questions. It's also a completely unhinged episode. Enjoy!
This week on SpanReads, we are onto Starsight, the sequel to Skyward. How do we feel about this controversial book on a reread? Stay tuned to find out.
For those of us who are fans of the Mistborn Adventure Game, the long-awaited supplement Nobles: The Golden Mandate, is out now! This supplement adds new background and features for fans who want to play nobles that fight against the Lord Ruler or join a skaa thieving crew. The background to create the supplement comes from both the books and the Mistborn: House War supplement to create a rich tapestry of background for both Great Houses and lesser ones. A new, pre-written adventure titled “Thieves in the Ninth House” is also included in the sourcebook.
This week on SpanReads, we are talking about the Lore in Skyward! We talk about foreshadowing for the future, and inconsistencies.
Brandon has read previews from book 5 of The Stormlight Archive, called Knights of Wind and Truth for now, at various occasions. We delve into them and discuss what this might mean for the book and the greater Cosmere!
This week on SpanReads, we are talking about the Characters & Relationships in Skyward! We talk about M-Bot, Cobb, Skyward Flight and Jorgen, and of course, ZEEN NIGHTSHADE.
It's time for possibly our last Secrets in Stained Glass story! This one occurs during Secrets in Stained Glass itself, showing an important scene the main characters didn't witness. Major spoilers for Episode 5 of Secrets in Stained Glass. You can download a PDF of this story here!
One of the key aspects of Secrets in Stained Glass that really made the series shine is the art. Our resident art guru, Argent, recommended several excellent artists we could hire for this project. We reached out to each of them, and in the end landed on the wonderful Eli, who you can find on instagram as @elisgardor, for the character art, and Connor Chamberlain (@conjchamberlain), who you’ll recognize from the backgrounds for the original Diceborn series, for the background art once again. Finally, Matt and Alyx commissioned Diego López (@digeolopez_artist) to bring to life a scene from episode 3, which was initially meant to be private, but ended up in the final version of the episode, and really gave it a special touch. They all went above and beyond, and we’re thrilled with how everything turned out.
So this Saturday, we are doing two Secrets in Stained Glass streams. First, at 8:30am Pacific / 11:30am Eastern, we will be talking with Matt and Grace about Grace's PC, Cecily, and some other NPCs. This will go for about an hour, then at 10am Pacific / 1pm Eastern we will have the full cast on and we will answer your questions!
It has been a little bit of time since we had a piece of fanart to show you, but it's time to wrap up this series of June commissions and make way for some new ones.
Spoilers for The Rhythm of War below.
Welcome to Reveals in Stained Glass, our Secrets in Stained Glass talkback show, where we discuss all sorts of SiSG things now that the show has concluded! We discuss all sorts of behind-the-scenes stuff, like character creation and more, as well as some new secrets! And of course complaining to Matt that he's too good at this.
It's time for another Secrets in Stained Glass story! This is an Eliane and Dier story, set before the main series. We hope you enjoy! You can see all Secrets in Stained Glass content in our tag, and our last bit of main content will be an over three hour long video of some of the cast discussing Secrets in Stained Glass on Sunday, September 3rd, and on September 9th, we will have a Q&A stream!

SpanReads, our reread show, returns! For 2023, in anticipation for Defiant's release, we are doing the Skyward series! We're doing three episodes on each book, and this one is Reactions & Retrospectives. Importantly, unlike our cosmere SpanReads, we need to compare with the rest of the series, so this does have full Skyward series spoilers, excluding Defiant, of course, because it isn't out yet. So, what did we think of Skyward on a reread? Stay tuned to find out.
The main episodes of Secrets in Stained Glass have concluded, but we do still have some content to show you! Below is one more entry in Jenna Tekiel's journal, set after the end of Secrets in Stained Glass. Very big Secrets in Stained Glass Episode 5 spoilers follow!

Episode 4 released on Sunday, and we have just one more episode, which airs August 20th at 10am Pacific. Until then, though, we will have three more pieces of story content before the finale. This one is a Jenna story, covering a key moment in her past which you may have wondered about from the show. This is the longest story, and we hope you enjoy! Major Spoilers for Episode 3 of Secrets in Stained Glass are below; definitely go watch that first. You don't need to have watched Episode 4, however!

A couple of pieces of news for you today, loyal fans.

There are 3 copies of each up for grabs this round (out of a total of 50), so there will be more opportunities in the future.
