== CONTAINS SPOILERS FOR EMBERDARK READINGS ==

Today, we're looking forward. Faaarr forward, into the future of the cosmere. The first of a two-part conversation diving in on the late-era Cosmere works, looking at technology, who's who in these late game stages, and how all these complicated Shards, planets, and factions are interacting with each other. Stay tuned for Part 2, which will cover some of the heaviest hitters in this era: Roshar and Scadrial.

This episode we have Eric (Chaos), Evgeni (Argent), Grace (thegatorgirl), and Ala (Rasarr)!
