We got a ton of new stuff in Rhythm of War on the Oathpact, Desolations, and the Heralds and how that all works. So much so that we had to split this episode in two! So today we're talking about about the Oathpact and Desolations, as well as the Everstorm and Braize! Next episode we will delve into the Heralds.

This episode we have Eric (Chaos), Ian (Weiry), David (Windrunner), Grace (thegatorgirl), and Evgeni (Argent)!

No Stormlight 5 prologue or secret project spoilers in this episode.

We actually did this episode (which we also had to split in two) in 2018, after Oathbringer came out. You can find them here:
