Welcome To The Party

In the banner for the Secret Books kickstarter by Dragonsteel Entertainment, Hoid has possibly the most punchable face I have ever seen. This bastard stands in an open, nondescript rocky field, a river behind him and a night sky that I would rather be looking at instead of this fucking Bastard Man. He’s dressed in what I can only describe as Cosmere Jesus Chic: a long white robe with very nice embroidered trim with long sleeves and a high collar, covered by a blue tunic and a pretentious black cape closed with a brooch that depicts the cosmere symbol with a blue gem at the center. Design is chillin’ on his shoulder. She’s cool. I’d rather be looking at her. There is some deranged instrument on his back that he probably knows how to play like a god. I want to smash it over his idiot face. He also has an idiot belt harness covered in the tools of his idiot trade, metals, bottles, chaos, god knows what–

As for his pose, again, I can only describe this man as a Jesus cosplayer. He looks like he’s trying to lead you off screen to some idiot camp fire where he’ll tell you a story about a dog that you will fundamentally misunderstand, leading to another 1200 pages worth of stunted character growth. His hands are delicate, which is excellent because it means he wont be good at punching me back when I deck this man so hard he flies through the cognative realm and comes out on the other side.

Two people join a conspiracy to kill god and take his place. They gain infinite power and, ignoring the pact made by the group, determined to stay together and help each other control and make something of their opposing powers, decide to build a planet together. They create Scadrial and its inhabitants. There is Ruin and Preservation in everything. The Shards are balanced, Scadrial is in harmony, and Leras and Ati are together. Their plan is succeeding.

Then, over the centuries, they begin to lose themselves. Ati and Leras become Ruin and Preservation, two opposing forces destined for mutual destruction. Maybe Leras loses himself first, leaving Ati without a companion to hold back Ruin’s influence. Or maybe Leras remained, cursed to be preserved as he watches Ati crumble into Ruin. The powers begin to plot against each other, Ruin vs Preservation, with whatever is left of the Vessels horrified at what they have become. Leras finds himself imprisoning Ruin - and Ati - for milennia, planning to defeat him once and for all. Ati fights the force of Preservation, permanently breaking Leras down bit by bit as he does so.
