Hoid is a master storyteller. We all know it, but Design isn’t convinced. This week she tells her own story, The ChasmFriends Get A Pet!
The ChasmFriends are the cheerful, friendly denizens of the Crackity Plains. They might bear similarities to the fearsome apex predators of Roshar, but today their gemhearts are shining at the thought of meeting new friends.
These animated stories are written by Dan Wells and are non-canon to the Cosmere. All animations are hand-drawn by Martian Studios and created in collaboration with Dragonsteel.
Emily Sanderson brings their story to life during Sanderson Storytime. Art by Anna Earley.
