Preface to Oathbringer

In Part One of Oathbringer the epigraphs are excerpts from the preface of the in-universe book of the same name.

Chapter Text
1 "I’m certain some will feel threatened by this record. Some few may feel liberated. Most will simply feel that it should not exist."
2 "I needed to write it anyway."
4 "I know that many women who read this will see it only as further proof that I am the godless heretic everyone claims."
5 "I can point to the moment when I decided for certain this record had to be written. I hung between realms, seeing into Shadesmar—the realm of the spren—and beyond."
6 "I thought that I was surely dead. Certainly, some who saw further than I did thought I had fallen."
7 "I did not die.

I experienced something worse."

8 "That moment notwithstanding, I can honestly say this book has been brewing in me since my youth."
9 "The sum of my experiences has pointed at this moment. This decision."
9 "Perhaps my heresy stretches back to those days in my childhood, where these ideas began."
9 "I ask not that you forgive me. Nor that you even understand."
