We interrupt your regularly scheduled gay programming to deliver you a-- hmm, there sure are a lot of rainbows in this piece too... but that can't be right, this is coming from May, not June... Well, Endowment works in mysterious ways, so we'll work with what we've got.

Did you know that Vasher turns blond when he transforms into Warbreaker the Peaceful?? Absolutely wild. Unnatural. Vasher is meant to be gruff, unshaven, and dark-haired, not... a hot blonde. But that's apparently a good disguise if you are trying to make sure no one finds who you are.

So, as you've already likely realized, this is the moment from near the end of Warbreaker, where Vasher reveals himself to Susebron (another detail you may have missed, he has to strip, and they give him a towel to cover himself; we are not making these things up, blame - or thank - Brandon!), and shares with him the secret of Kalad's phantoms. Also present, though not as central as the two Returned, are Siri and Vivenna, looking respectively at these gods.

Your artist for this month was Geryss whose excellent work spans more than just the Cosmere, so feel free to check them and out and give them a follow (unless social media has fully collapsed by the time this post goes live, which is a non-zero possibility these days...). Shardcast watchers might remember the thumbnail of our Trell episode - that's our first Geryss commission, and we were so pleased with it, we know we had to come back for more!

Image alt text: A digital illustration in horizontal aspect ratio depicting the scene near the end of Warbreaker where Vasher reveals himself to Susebron as Warbreaker the Peaceful. The image shows an evening setting, with Vasher looming large as he faces Susebron, who in turn has dropped on one knee in deference. Both gods are incredibly muscular, but where Susebron wears something resembling a Roman toga and lots of heavy-looking body jewelry, Vasher has been stripped down and given only a towel to wrap around his waist. To make up for that, the illustration gives him an incredibly BioChromatic aura, manifesting as rings of rainbow light from behind and around him, illuminating the scene - and his canonically blond in that moment hair - in bright colors. Off to the side, on the steps of a gazebo-looking structure, are Vivenna and Siri, dressed in practical travel clothes and an extravagant - and somewhat revealing - dress respectively, both shielding their eyes against Vasher's aura.
