Congrats on hitting 1k subscribers! Great video. Even though I've read The Stormlight Archive and the Mistborn trilogy, I feel like I learned a lot from this video.
where did you get this information from? I've read warbreaker, elantris, all the mistborn and stormlight archive books and i feel like i didn't see this info.
@@callumts7679 Well, Zahel/Vasher explains it a bit in stormlight. Outside of that, you can look at the coppermind wiki on the returned. It'll have all of the references. Plus, I'm sure there are a lot of WOB on it.
@@jamesyount2423 the returned being similar to the fused I get, I made a similar assumption. But for the life of me, i cant find the first mention of endowment.
@@callumts7679 That's because it's almost exclusively WOB. She wrote a letter to Hoid in one of the Stormlight epigraphs but it was just a guessing game that it was her that wrote it until it was confirmed by Sando. Even that says very little about the returned but it does give you some insight into Endowement's personality, some history of the shards and of Hoid.
Dude you're doing great work! I've shared you with like 3 of my friends now after getting them into the cosmere!!! Great job explaining things. I've loved the slow burn and deep dive style that Sanderson creates with the cosmere and I really appreciate your collection of artwork to give all of my mental images something to compare to!
Hey Raven. I really love that you’re composing cosmere related topics. I would like to say, sometimes it feels like you take too long to get to your point, using extensively long segues. I’m all for your talking being nice and slow paced. But all of the filler bits really deter me from finishing a video. Either way I love your project and willingness to share with everyone. Thanks for your hard work!
A fair point. I do try to get my videos as short as possible. I've found that if I make it too short and succinct then some viewers can't follow along or understand very well (for multiple different reasons, mostly because they're not very familiar with Cosmere concepts). So I have to balance it between being as short as I can make it, but also have enough explanation and information for everyone to understand and enjoy
I'm super late to this video, but I've heard something about Dalinar along the lines of "he can do things past bondsmiths couldn't do." Could this be, in part, due to Honor's cognitive shadow being bound to the Stormfather?
Can you start doing some theory and projection videos on upcoming Mistborn and Stormlight novels and make them with spoilers so we can talk more in the comments without ruining things for new Cosmerians? I think another cool topic would be theorizing why there is a depreciation of misting powers in each era and how that impacts the plot, while Feruchemy has a much less drop-off in efficacy (besides the obvious Sando answer that he wanted more problem solving and less Allomancy to solve problems for his characters).
Bruh i just finished rythm of war, can someone explain to me if Todium is now going to be mega evil or if he gonna do some good shit and bring balance to the universe?
RoW spoilers: He's going to be like Thanos was. Wants to accomplish something noble, but will go to any lengths to do it. So If doing the right thing for the greater good means that he has to outright genocide other people then he will do so. He's much more intelligent than Rayse was and much more cunning.
@@RavensRants What if the contest determines whether Taravanganian or Dalinar will be Thanos. I also get the feeling Thaidakar will become incredibly dangerous if the Ghostbloods figure out how to get Stormlight off Roshar.
Vin never took up the power of the Well so in book 3 she wasn't a sliver right? Only taking it up & using the power would make a sliver. Tho she did then become Preservation. I still wonder what the hell Dalinar is. He probably isn't a sliver but I think the Storm Father is confirmed to be.
Yeah Stormfather is a Sliver. And The Well was the coalescence of Preservation's power. That alone was enough to make her a Sliver. But yeah she was Preservation too so that did the trick

Some of the shorter, lighter videos are a nice, fun change of pace. But this, right here, is the type of content that keeps me coming back.
The shorter, lighter content exists so that these videos can too 😅
I like to hear more about the deadeyes, with your thoughts about what could happen in the future.
I could arrange a video like that...
Congrats on hitting 1k subscribers! Great video. Even though I've read The Stormlight Archive and the Mistborn trilogy, I feel like I learned a lot from this video.
Thank you so much! And I'm glad you enjoyed the video :)
The Returned are just cognitive shadows, invested by Endowment. Basically Endowment's version of the Fused on Roshar.
Absolutely correct. But Endowment achieves this through bestowing on them a Divine Breath, which is a Splinter of Endowment.

What splinters did adonalsium leave behind before he got shattered?

I was just thinking about this!!! Thank you!
Lol no worries :)

Also i want to say great channel m8, i like your videos about the stormlight archive especially
I'm glad you enjoyed the videos :)
@@RavensRants thanks for responding men))
@@tejmazwei I always try to respond to all my comments :)

Why thank you :)
Keep it up. Really really good video!!
Thank you so much!

A video like this will likely come after we do the Cosmere readthrough on the channel. But it is on the table for sure :)
Great video! Thank you! I really enjoy you channel!
Thank you so much!
I am surprised you're not going full spoiler in in depth subjects, anyone who watches something this in depth propably read most of the books anyway

Did Sanderson say where he got the name Adonalsium? What does it mean?
another great video!!!
I hope it's Kaladin and not Dalinar who will become Honor
Hell yeah
The splinters are like a body getting rid of dead skin cells
:D
