“This story is about Derethil and the Wandersail.” Thus began Hoid’s first story in The Stormlight Archive.

Join Hoid and Design on the next stop on their journey, with a Brandon Sanderson reading of Wandersail and the story of Derethil, the Uvara, and the weight of responsibility.

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.
