This was super atmospheric, nicely done. The Death Rattles are some of the grimmest ideas Brandon has put to page, especially given that twisted hospital scene at the end of the Way of Kings. I'm not sure why people say he can't write dark stuff?
hemalurgy is some of the grimmest stuff I've seen period. Somehow Brandon manages to have these dark things going on but still keeps a hopeful narrative.
Let me no longer hurt! Let me no longer weep! Dai-gonarthis! The Black Fisher holds my sorrow and consumes it! It just occurred to me that this might be related to Moash: these are thoughts from his perspective. We know that he regained his ability to feel at the end of RoW, when the tower was "turned on". We also know that even the most powerful Fused were incapacitated under that influence. That might mean that even Unmade could be forced to leave the tower or influence at that moment. I doubt that Odium personally controlled such flow of emotions, even though Moash names it as "Odium's gift", but it is still totally possible. Nevertheless, this Death Rattle can be explained in such way.
I've thought for a while that if Odium isn't directly controlling (consuming) Moash's feelings, then Dai-Gonarthis is almost certainly what's being used.
It’s why he stands out from the other booktubers in a good way! I love Daniel Greene and his disheveled goblin persona, but sometimes I just want to listen to someone explaining things in a chill way.
Watching your very well-researched videos, I feel like I read an entirely different series. Love your channel - you're very likeable, soothing voice, high-quality content, great lighting and beautiful editing. Keep it up! :)
I actually re-read the Way of Kings recently, and I though that the death rattle from 9:53 was talking about Syl, maybe scartching her eyes means that her and Kaladin break the oath that bonds then like the old radiants for some reason. And the daughter Kings and Winds refers to the Stormfather who in Alezkar they call Jerezehe (or something like that) wich an old name for Jezrien I think.
This was so epic! I'm working on a video on the Unmade actually, so this was very fun to watch! Looking forward to seeing the future episodes! (Also since the next SA novella will be from Rock's perspective, we may see some more Moelach action)
Another great video, still can't wait to see where this goes. I still find it strange that both the readers and in world characters are still unsure as to if Dai-gonarthis is one of the unmade while the other eight are pretty much guaranteed.
I’m so excited to see where this series goes! When I read the death rattles the first time I just kinda skipped over them bc I had no idea what was going on. It’s great to get to revisit them like this
I really like your in-depth look at the death rattles. I definitely agree that the Unmade will play a big role in the future and I am especially excited to learn more about Sja-Anat and Ba-Ado-Mishram. It will be so cool to see your conclusions and theories in the next videos!
Every time I come here I learn and I love it. Livestream was beyond fun and I'm just happy we got to chill and talk shop. Your intimate knowledge of this series is so inspiring to me!
Christian, your videos are so cool! Can't wait for the next episode. I've never thought that there'll be so much info in those death rattles... You also seem like a super chill guy, listening to you is a pleasure (I've just came from watching a 2,5 h long podcast you did with Jimmy - it's was great!)
This is incredible! I love this series, but there's so much I couldn't piece together on my own. Thank you for the time and effort you've put into these videos!
You’re RUclips channel will be the biggest cosmere channel when the cosmere grows in popularity. Personally I have only read TSA, just finished RoW today so I’m relying on your interpretations to understand more (of the cosmere)! After I’ve read pride & prejudice I’ll start on mistborn! I’m curious on who the worldhoppers and thadakar are, even Hoid! Thank you for being such a fantastic channel and person!
Would love love love to see the word document with all your analyses at the end of the series. I liiiiive for the clue gathering and the red string. I'm enjoying this series so much! Great job
I was super excited when i saw the title, but then immediately got kind of sad because i'm currently at like 67 % of Oathbringer. I guess i'm going to have to wait a little bit more until i'm completely up to date with stormlight (don't worry though, because my Rhythm of War hardcover it's currently on its way and i'll probably be able to read the few cosmere books i have left to read before it arrives, in about a month i'll probably be completely done) Still decided to come give my support. I'm sure the video is awesome.
@LostinDiscovery that's awesome, can't wait. I'm working on starting a youtube series of my own. You and Captured In Words are the two guys Id love most to interview!
I'm a new subscriber. Love the content thus far, though I think the last rattle could be interpreted a different way. Taln seems the obvious choice, because he's the one being tortured on Braize, but I keep getting stuck on the word "madness". All the torture descriptions are of burning and pain, and I don't think Taln even knows he's the only one who returned. At any rate, all the Heralds are mad in some way but the one that sticks out as barely functional mad is Jezrien. If all the Heralds are connected, maybe he has been semi-secretly trying to syphon off some of the other Herald's madess for the past 4K years. The last part "Oh, Almighty, release me." seems important as well, because of what Moash did to him, quite literally releasing him (and all the Heralds) from the Oathpact. Anyway, just an idea I had. Keep all the great content coming!
Dude, you're videos are always an instant click for me. I feel like Cosmere lore videos are rare on RUclips, and I'm always chomping at the bit for them. Especially ones as well researched as yours! Side note: I always thought the daughter of kings and winds who scratches out her own eyes will refer to Syl. Maybe as a future big plot point in the story. She's the daughter of the storm, and deadeyes are described as having scratched out eyes. What makes me think you're right tho, is that Syl isn't a vandal, she's just kind of rebellious, so that definition doesn't really work. Also, she's not the daughter of a king (at least by the human definition). Ash is a vandal, and daughter of the herald of windrunners. Don't completely understand the scrached out eyes, though. She usually destroys the entire piece of art of her.
I think this one is meant to keep us guessing to an extend. Although, Ash is also known for scratching out eyes of herself and other Heralds. I believe we see her work on a mural Lift sees in Edgedancer :)
You know, Ash is the obvious choice for this death rattle-but maybe she's too obvious. Could be a red herring to distract us from Syl. Your theory makes a lot of sense, you could be onto something!
I think it has to do with the general importance of the number "10" in the Rosharan system. One less than ten. Just how the Fused only have access to 9 of the 10 surges.
The burdens of the Nine is Mishram in my opinion. Most likely Mishram. Mishram (or Shaphir) is causing the Heralds madness. I don't think BAM wants to do it, thus "why must I". Oh almighty release me, is Mishram literally wanting to be free and maybe once she's freed she releases them from madness. I think death rattles are fact but they resemble a kaleidoscope rather than a clear picture. There will be multiple meanings to some or all death rattles I think. Like the one about Kal jumping the chasm could also be about some form of cosmic grim reaper.
This was super atmospheric, nicely done. The Death Rattles are some of the grimmest ideas Brandon has put to page, especially given that twisted hospital scene at the end of the Way of Kings. I'm not sure why people say he can't write dark stuff?
Which scene are you referring to? Does it involve Taravangian?
@@jasonbrewbaker3932 Indeed, the scene with Szeth at the very end. Very compelling, Taravangian's mask came off!
hemalurgy is some of the grimmest stuff I've seen period. Somehow Brandon manages to have these dark things going on but still keeps a hopeful narrative.
I mean, the end of rhythm of War with the bondsmith experiments is also dark
I’ve read a lot of twisted stuff but that hospital scene made me sick. Maybe it was so impactful bc it was so unexpected.
Let me no longer hurt! Let me no longer weep! Dai-gonarthis! The Black Fisher holds my sorrow and consumes it!

I absolutely love this channel. Can't get enough Cosmere coverage on YT. You're gonna blow up as the Cosmere gets more and more popular.
I really feel like you’re on to something. And even if you aren’t, exploring the death rattles more closely is super interesting!
Watching your very well-researched videos, I feel like I read an entirely different series.
Love your channel - you're very likeable, soothing voice, high-quality content, great lighting and beautiful editing. Keep it up! :)
Thank you so much!!
i recently discovered (wink wink) your channel and i am genuinely glad i did. your videos are helping keep my sanity up, so thanks a lot for that.
You sir have outdone yourself with that pun.👏🏿
Don't you mean that they're videos are helping you keep your *insanity*? 😅
Thank YOU for watching!

I was exactly the same way back when. I was like... these sound really cool but I have nooooo idea what's going on.
Damn Christian, this is one of your best videos! So good! Idk how you keep improving so much so fast, but well done mate. Can't wait for Ep. 3
Thanks man :)

Commenting for the algorithm. Great job man! This series is great
I appreciate that man, thank you!
I love the implication at 1:17 that skyeels sound just like seagulls XD. Great video!
I just finished RoW recently and was so disappointed in the lack of Stormlight lore content on youtube. Thanks for making these!
No worries mate, thanks for watching!
The Death Rattles and the Unmade are some of the creepiest stuff in Stormlight. They're so mysterious and ominous.
"Step aside, Tara-V" 😂
I was looking forward to this video all week! This is my favorite ongoing fantasy series but I still learned a few things from your video.
That's so cool to hear! I'm glad!
Such amazing nuggets you’re mining!! I read through these beloved books so fast I know missed a lot. These videos make me long for more of the story.

Oh thank you! Appreciate you checking out the podcast, Jimmy is awesome!
I really enjoy these stormlight videos. Glad I'm not alone in my enjoyment of them either
This is incredible! I love this series, but there's so much I couldn't piece together on my own. Thank you for the time and effort you've put into these videos!

So amazing! Thank you so much again for making me super excited to go back again for a third read-through.
Enjoy it man!
Dude I love your channel, be glad to see some more cosmere like Elantris and Arcanum stories.
Definitely looking to cover those in the future :)

One thing that stands out to me is that dalinar comments on a plague at the pure lakes. We haven't heard anything about it since that I can remember

We have seen the effects of The Black Fisher in Moash, taking pain and sorrow, and so much more. This is not the blessing he claims.
Great stuff as always.. let’s
Continue our downward spiral into the madness that is the cosmere !
I feel like after the end of WoK he didn’t mention the hospital again
Yesss been waiting for this!
I cannot be more excited 😆
Are you sure the death rattle is of shalash? I thought it could easily be syl becoming a deadeye, possibly of her own will?
Love your content!

Fascinating video mate! Though not sure if I want the ending spoilt via this clever reading, hopefully Sanderson hasn't given too much away 😂
Hahaha, not sure if we'll quite get there but journey before destination, right? ;)
@@LostinDiscovery seeing the future is of the enemy, be careful 😬
Just realised, nine unmade, nine Ringwraiths, Sanderson got his inspirations from the right place.
I think it has to do with the general importance of the number "10" in the Rosharan system. One less than ten. Just how the Fused only have access to 9 of the 10 surges.
I thought that every time "the Nine" were mentioned 😂
Adhesion is the surge the Fused don't have-apparently Honor's truest surge is not a real surge, according to Raboniel.
A little bit! A little bit curious he says!
5:55 wait? I thought we where nearly explicitly told it is cultivation's perpendicularity
And perpendicularities are a way to travel throughout the Cosmere.
The burdens of the Nine is Mishram in my opinion.
Most likely Mishram. Mishram (or Shaphir) is causing the Heralds madness. I don't think BAM wants to do it, thus "why must I". Oh almighty release me, is Mishram literally wanting to be free and maybe once she's freed she releases them from madness.
I think death rattles are fact but they resemble a kaleidoscope rather than a clear picture. There will be multiple meanings to some or all death rattles I think.
Like the one about Kal jumping the chasm could also be about some form of cosmic grim reaper.
So... when am I going to have the option to be a member of the chanel? I look for that join button every time I click on a new video.
0:20 they word you are looking for is "Plausible"
10/10 keep it up
these videos are so good.
Glad you like them!
@@LostinDiscovery almost feel silly not connecting the dots about who had which search rattle in the last video, blew my mind.
Has anyone ever looked at the final words of various characters who have died in the series. Curious if any hidden death rattles exist?
2:15 - Huh, I'd always in my head pronounced Moelach as Mo-i-lak
Do you know, or have you come across, how the Alethi originally came to Roshar?
one of Bridge 4 members has a death rattle in way of kings, so i dont think the unmade needs to be close.
Great episode!
I hope Hoid becomes a villain
It would be a mayor WTF moment
Book 5 big battle, Brando Sando portals in characters from all of his other novels, even future ones he hasn't written yet, to come join the fight.
If I were him it would take all my self control not to do that hahaha
Molatch is ____ Me: "one of the Forsaken!" LD: "one of the Unmade!" Me: Wait what? Have I been reading too much WoT?
Nice haircut dude
Thanks!
The death rattle "the burdens of nine become mine" etc. was a prediction of Talenelat finally breaking under the torture, not a glimpse of the past.
Moelash disliked this
