Spoilers for all of Mistborn. Check out the SICS: Twitch | YouTube Music: Kevin MacLeod, Eternal Terminal.

This week, a quick discussion of one of the Stormlight Archive's potentially underrated characters; Adolin Kholin. I mostly just wanted an excuse to talk about my boy for a few minutes, and especially consider how someone who appears boring on the surface actually acts as one of the series' most important characters. Spoilers for Stormlight through Oathbringer. Music: Kevin MacLeod, Eternal Terminal.

Looks like Shardcast beat me to posting an episode on this, but here it is anyway.

Welcome to the first "real" episode of the Worldhopper's Guide! This week, we tackle the timeline of one of the Stormlight Archive's most pivotal nights: the feast where Gavilar Kholin is assassinated.

Hey there! Welcome to the initial episode of the Worldhopper's Guide to the Cosmere.   This one's mostly a (very) brief introduction to the show and an audio test for me.   Thanks to Kevin MacLeod for the intro song, Eternal Terminal.
