Introducing…Hoid’s Worldsinger Symposium!
Hello backers, we did it!
Brandon will be hosting a livestream to celebrate the launch of Hoid’s Storybook Collection today (March 3, 2026) at 6:00PM MST (1:00AM UTC). We’re sure you can see the joyspren surrounding us as we share the news that our campaign is officially funded! Once again, we’re able to bring the magic of Brandon’s worlds to life because of YOU. As if getting four enchantingly illustrated storybooks wasn’t enough, Brandon’s newest secret project The Fires of December is an adventure we know you’ll love as much as we did. Remember that the gold foiling on each of the picture books and the printed edges for The Fires of December will only be available for purchase during the lifetime of this BackerKit project. You’ll want to act now to guarantee their spot on your Sandershelf!
Now is the perfect time to collect your ChasmFriend Blind Bag pins to be able to trade with other Worldhoppers and complete your herd. The price of these collectible cuties is only $10 during the project launch, but will increase after the campaign closes.
If you reserved a ChasmFriend pin pre-campaign, as long as you have backed the campaign and completed your backer survey once it is sent out, the pin will automatically be sent with your pledge rewards.
A story doesn’t live until it is imagined
To celebrate the launch of Hoid’s Storybook Collection, we want to invite our backers to join in weaving a non-canonical Hoidian tale. Hoid’s Worldsinger Symposium is our new Stormlight-infused collaborative storytelling experience! Join the beloved Worldsinger’s ranks as you and other backers come together to tell a story of your own in the Collaborative Narrative. A writing prompt has been given on the Hoid’s Worldsinger Symposium tab of this project. Every day until the close of this campaign, you will have a chance to add to the narrative. It’s up to you Worldsingers to determine whose response is the best, as the entry with the most likes will be added to this storybook of your own creation! We will accept one submission per day, based on votes. If the content of a submission does not comply with our terms and conditions, it will be rejected.
The symposium will also include a Worldsinger Gallery! Send your fan art inspired by the Collaborative Narrative you’re creating via the submission link found within the Symposium. As long as your art adheres to our terms and conditions, we will feature it in our Worldsinger Gallery. Artists are allowed up to two art submissions during the campaign. Select art submissions, as well as the completed narrative, will be included in a free digital release entitled Hoid’s Worldsinger Symposium: Anthology.
We’re so happy you’re here and we’re elated to share Hoid’s tales with you. Until our next update later this month, Worldsingers!
Surveys will begin being sent out early next week; please fill them out promptly!
You will be able to select your preferred cover of The Fires of December through your backer survey.
Tiers are estimated to ship Fall 2026, and add-ons will follow during the first quarter of 2027.
Late pledges are available starting today until April 13, 2026.
Hoid’s Worldsinger Symposium: Anthology will be released later this year.
Our favorite worldhopping storyteller has finished his lightweaving…for now.
Worldsingers, we’ve done it! The campaign is now officially closed. Your spheres have been put to good use, and we’re working hard on our end to get all of Hoid’s stories and artifacts to your lovely homes before the next highstorm. Be sure to fill out your backer surveys promptly, so that our chulls can expeditiously deliver your pledges once fulfillment begins. Backer surveys will begin being sent out early next week, so keep an eye on your email! Please remember that your survey must be completed and your pledge amount paid before your rewards can ship. If you have already backed this project, you will gain access to the same selections of add-ons as the pre-order store through your backer survey.
Backers who used the pay over time option will be able to access their survey after all four payments have been processed. All the same add-ons within our pre-order store will be available for pay over time backers within their surveys, even after the April 13th deadline.
How to select your cover of The Fires of December.
As a reminder, you will be able to select which cover variant you want for The Fires of December through your backer survey. If you have purchased multiple copies you will be asked to select which cover you want for each copy you purchased.
Let’s review our shipping timelines!
All tier rewards will ship in the fall of 2026. If this changes, we’ll notify you on future updates. All physical add-ons will ship separately during the first quarter of 2027.
Hoid’s Worldsinger Symposium: Anthology will be digitally released.
Thank you to all the talented Worldsingers who participated in Hoid’s Worldsinger Symposium! We were awestruck by the level of creativity and wit we saw from each of the entries, both written and weaved. The finished non-canonical Hoidian tale and the submissions from the Worldsinger Gallery that will be included in Hoid’s Worldsinger Symposium: Anthology will be distributed through BackerKit later this year. To see all of the entries for the gallery, enter the Hoid’s Worldsinger Symposium tab of this project. To see the finished tale you wrote together before the Anthology is released, visit the same tab.
We’re excited to share the Anthology masterfully weaved together by YOU!
We have the best fans in the business—people who care about their bookshelves as much as we care about what goes on them. Because of you, we get to make two stunning versions of the same story!
You can watch Brandon’s update where he outlines the decision to offer both cover variants as part of this campaign.
The bottom line is that we want you to be ecstatic when your copy arrives. When your backer survey lands in your inbox, you'll be able to choose whichever cover you love most. And if you purchased an additional copy, you're welcome to select one of each!
If you have additional questions, please check out our newly added FAQs regarding the two cover choices.
...we have reached the end of the campaign. Thank you again Brandon and Team DragonSteel for another wonderful ride. Well done SanderFans for another amazing Journey.
I cannot wait to see these books in my hands.
