What we needed was an accurate account of the steps Venat took to try and steer her people away from the path of summoning both gods and the Sundering. I can't say I'm looking forward to hearing more of Vrtra after how one-note his character has become, going on and on about his sister and little else. Not interested in seeing Garlemald transition into a Sharlayan-style republic either.

Unless one is a fan of Venat, the Scions, or the city state leaders I don't see why I should look forward to the short stories.
