#SaytheWords

Prepare to say the words...
Get ready to dive into each of the Radiant Orders with Senne Khald (apprentice Worldsinger) as we near the Words of Radiance leatherbound crowdfunding campaign. Each week, you can expect a new journal entry focused on a different order from Senne. Meet back here every Tuesday to see the next entry. (Joining the pre-launch campaign? You're in luck. Those that do will get to see the new entries a day early!)
Calling all Windrunners: this one is for you! In this entry, Senne introduces herself and reviews the unique personalities that make up the Windrunner order.
I will protect: bit.ly/47XyzOh
Check out Senne Khald's writings on the other Radiant Orders

Summing the Windrunners up as "big sibling types" is just perfect :)

[@Sheriff_K]

I'm a big sibling, but being a Windrunner sounds EXHAUSTING! I just wanna be a Feruchemist.. 😒

[@kyloben8537]

yup. the big sibling urge to not only protect your younger siblings but anyone else needing it, being a big sibling to EVERYONE. that's us windrunners

I was cackling from start to finish. This is so fun and well done! I'm very excited to see Dan's work in the cosmere based off his writing here.

[@pickpocket293]

Agreed. If this is what we can expect from Dan in the Cosmere, I'm totally down.

New Worldsinger lore let's go! Another of Hoid's apprentices revealed.

[@Sarcastic_Sophist]

This is going to be an awesome series and an excellet tool as I try to slowly convert all my friends into playing in the Stormlight TTRPG.

[@michaelarmstrong6821]

I am just starting a one shot set in the stormlight universe and I’m really hoping some of my friends will be convinced to at least read one book.

[@Sarcastic_Sophist]

@@michaelarmstrong6821 I have gotten several friends to read cosmere books. Didn't manage to win over enough to run a mistborn game (despite writing 9 pages of setting notes). But an alternative setting using stormlight magic I pitched after a strange dream got people interested. So, here's hoping.

[@kaladinstormblessed9626]

I keep coming back to rewatch this again and again. "We would be lost without them" gives me chills everytime.

[@tywinderbaum5283]

You know, I've been thinking a lot about Rhythm of War for days. I was just now trying to decide whether to re-read RoW or the whole series. And now I've watched this for the first time. I agree. That hits fucking hard. Jesus the first part of that book took me so long just because it was too painful and I had to put it down. Particularly considering I was at a bad point depression-wise

[@Naurm]

Shout out to Dan Wells! Exciting hearing something Cosmere written by him even if it’s short. It was beautifully done.

[@ElocNodnarb]

When I heard Kate Readings voice I kinda died! ❤

[@randall5411]

Loved this little short video. The joke about how to tell if someone’s a Windrunner was great. Can’t wait to see the videos for the other orders.

[@gildedbear5355]

It's also a joke that is said about pilots. To be fair, they can both fly 8D

[@tonyt3638]

This is so cool! Anybody else pumped for the Truthwatcher entry?

[@pinianna]

Yes! But also a bit worried 😂

[@TexasBlade]

100% can’t wait!

[@KuraiLunae]

Is it just me, or are the Truthwatchers shockingly overrepresented in the fans? Especially since we know almost nothing about uncorrupted ones? I'm not complaining, I love being one, it's just something I've noticed. Also, 10000% hyped for ours! Can't wait to see how we're described! My brother's an Edgedancer, so I'm looking forward to that one too, but we at least know more about them already.

[@TexasBlade]

@@KuraiLunae I’d assume it’s due to the knights radiant quiz.

[@KuraiLunae]

@@TexasBlade I mean, how else do you know what Order you're in? But there seems to be an awful lot of people scoring Truthwatcher, and not nearly as many getting, say, Dustbringer or Elsecaller. Of course, that might just be the people I'm around and interact with more, but I've yet to see anyone at all claiming to be a Willshaper or Stoneward.

[@Zmapes89]

Wow! I am super looking forward to this series ! I run a 500+ person community in World of Warcraft named Dustbringers, and to say we’ve been running on fumes is an overstatement. We’ve got the king of the Reshi and some vague bad guys. The thought of getting some more information on them is tantalizing.

[@marcchristiansen]

I loved this! It’d be great if they had a series like this that helped review all the Lore (not just the orders of radiants) before they release Stormlight 5.

[@tylerlloyd83]

Yeah, they could call it “What the heck did I just read?” or “Was I supposed to know that person?”

[@keithswafford5271]

Oh I am HERE for the radiant order slander 🤣 I love it so much

[@Riz_]

Got to admit, that was priceless. So happy Kate Reading was narrating this one.

[@Cosmere_Considered]

I Hope this is part of Dan Wells preparing to write a Shadow Days story. (He’s the writer of you check the credits in the description).

[@ramblingdad7764]

What do you mean by that?

[@Cosmere_Considered]

@@ramblingdad7764 Dan Wells is working on some unknown Cosmere novel and he wrote this little blurb from the Heraldic epochs. It would be awesome to get a novel set on Roshar in the heraldic epochs/shadow days by Dan since he usually writes horror.

[@thomasadjetey5029]

Oh these interludes are gonna be JUICY

[@akamai8097]

Everything about this is so perfect. The cinematography, the art, the musical scoring, the voice acting and the writing (Dan, you killed it).

[@rhetoricandlogic]

That was beautifully done, Dan Wells. Your wry humour fits the story, viewed from an external source so well. I'm exited for more.

[@inigocilveti1184]

Omg, hearing Kate Reading's voice was a delight!

[@sadee4175]

This feels like something one would find in the table top RPG explaining the orders

[@samthestache8]

I was already excited for the Leatherbound, but now I'm even more hype for the rest of these teasers! Yes, please! Give us more info on the radiant orders. I particularly can't wait for the entries on the orders we haven't seen as much of (looking at you stonewards and dustbringers)

[@emmamason5383]

When she said how to tell who’s a Windrunner? They’ll tell you themselves. And that’s exactly what I do 😆🤣🤣 and when she mentioned the “they can fly part” that would exactly be one of my proudest points 😂

[@rdfx9475]

She's damn right when she says we are goodlooking

[@novaquinn5323]

Im a Windrunner! Bridge four all the way!

First? Ooooh… an apprentice of Hoid, you say?

[@OtherTheDave]

We’re getting another one of these every week?!? Woohoo!!

[@beeman4266]

It's funny how Senne mentions wanting to please Hoid with her summaries of the orders considering Dan wrote these and undoubtedly wanted Brandon to think highly of them. He did a great job.

[@jasonhamler4507]

Hijacking "How do you know someone's a pilot?" I love it.

[@benjamingrant6869]

Stunning artwork, for an amazing story! This epistolary narration was fantastic, & I genuinely enjoyed the drawing of Seth + Caladan Looking forward to Stormlight 5! This vid makes me realize why B Sand's wants to make the series 10 books in total... that # pops up often throughout the series

[@nickamarillo12]

I’m new to Brandon Sanderson and I just took the test to see what I am and it happens to be a Windrunner and I am the eldest sibling. Sounds accurate! Can’t wait to get into this new world 👍🏽🔥

[@packetpirate]

"Also, they can fly, which I was going to leave off of my list to bother them." So sassy.

[@lieslfeldman1725]

Love this. I'm ready for the next one. Go Senne.

[@godminnette2]

I suspect, from the tone and terminology Senne uses, this must be an analysis done closer to the time of the Secret Projects than Stormlight 5. Edit: Nevermind, unless they decided to restart the count with Epochs, this is actually a decent time into the past.

[@godminnette2]

ooh, Dan wrote this one! Interesting.

[@dustinphillips605]

That really reminds me of the really good flavor text you find in Elder Scrolls games. Love it.

OK I have a question: will the Kickstarter only be to get the leatherbound? Like that's the only thing you get for supporting it? Don't get me wrong, it's beautiful, but I don't have any other leather bounds and I wouldn't want just one

[@Debessh]

The promotions have begun!!

[@conoromalley9672]

Can someone help me out, which books does this have spoilers for? I'm on Words of Radiance.

[@elizabethsedai854]

I mean, no real spoilers at all, except Way of Kings, I suppose, since you need to know what a Windrunner is... maybe some very, very minor spoilers for the end of WOR? It's hard to remember lol somebody help me out here if I'm wrong! It takes place way before the current time of the books, so you're probably fine. It's short and only has general info.

[@davidwilson6577]

Kate's sounding quite husky. Maybe it's just in contrast to the WoT recordings I'm revisiting, but I want to get her a glass of water.

[@elizabethsedai854]

I thought the same thing! I wanted her to clear her throat the whole time! Maybe it's just age though, and if so, that's fine! I'll always love her narration no matter what!

[@joebaumann1083]

At first, I thought this was leading up to SL5 and we would get one a month then realized it was focusing the nice hardcover. I really hope we can get a copy of the journal since if you read it definitely adds to it. And do we know this girl??? Sure her boss but is she a new character?
