Welcome back to Sel! The Sandersonian Institute of Cosmere Studies has finally come back to the place where it all began. In this episode, the SICS crew starts their discussion of one of Brandon's shorter novellas, The Emperor's Soul, which takes place on the homeworld of Elantris, in the Rose Empire far to the north of Arelon and Teod. So join us as we discuss such deep topics as "What makes a person... themself?", "Does art belong to its creator once its been made public?", and "Was Emperor Palpatine actually a Hufflepuff!?"
