I've binged the entire Cosmere over the past 6 months. This video is phenomenal. The pacing, audio levels, quality of narrator voice, fan art, etc make it a must watch. Please create more, with spoilers. I'll watch every one.
@@HyperionVI The spoiler that made me warn people can be inferred based on the worldbuilding of the first book on its own but it isn't confirmed until the 3rd so it wont ruin it, but it will recontextualize the world and culture that is being presented to you
Too many things I love about Roshar to pick just one. The Stormlight Archive is one of my favorite fantasy series and I hope you continue to delve into this awesome world! As always I look forward to your next video.
The singers and the highstorms are one of my favorite aspects from Roshar.. Like the idea of different forms and tuning to music for communication makes the singer the perfect species for the planet. It's also kind of unique species. And the idea of highstorm is why I started reading this masterpiece
He does say there are spoilers, in the videos description. Should maybe be in the title as well as most people seem to not read the descriptions before watching.
This video is fantastic. Really great job! That Parshendi art at 9:43 makes them look so much more badass than I imagined. I've missed a lot of this information and am relatively certain its not in the main series. Have I missed a short story or is this some book signing lore? I am not diligent when keeping up with that. I would just like to know as I love this series and would like to read about as much of it as possible. *Spoilers Below* - Adonalsium creating the continent of Roshar on an otherwise landless planet and possibly the moons - Roshar in constant motion, pushed by highstorms - Atmospheric make-up and force of gravity - Greatshells storing stormlight in gemhearts. I know that the symbiotic relationship with spren is stated but is the stormlight storage stated somewhere or an assumption based on Parshendi being able to hold voidlight and spren in their gemhearts. (presumably stormlight as well if they become Radiant.) I have never heard any of this so I'm quite curious. Thank you.
Brandon has a lot of discussions where he answers fan questions. Some of the information in this video are from those discussions which can be found online. I guess he gives that info freely to show how deep his world is and because it probably wont have a major impact on readers' enjoyment of the series down the road. If a fan's question goes too far into spoiler territory, then he simply says read and find out.
Some of this is just explained right in the books. You might have just missed it. I've listened to all 3 books several times and still notice forshadowing or other things I hadn't before. *Spoilers* Like the pull of gravity being lessoned by spren attaching themselves to greatshells is surmised by Shallan while she and Kaladin are trapped in the caves. There's so much to remember and so much world building in these books. Don't feel bad 😅
*Gets hit with that spoiler near the end* Ohhh...Ohhhh, shit, I was caught unaware. WELL....Now I have some wonderful lore to look forward to as I read Oathbringer!
Awesome video man. But you should really look into your pronunciation on some of these names, like Shinovar (shin-o-var) and Adonalsium (ado-nal-sium).
I agree. cool video, but I thought it was weird that he pronounced it like shin-over. and he said parshandi near then end, but it was probably just an accident since he pronounced it right the other times.
Song of Secrets by The Darkeyed Musician. She was kind enough to reach out to me and offered to lend her music for my Cosmere videos. You can check out her channel here ruclips.net/user/TheDarkeyedMusicianfeatured Regarding Wheel of Time, I haven't had a chance to read that series yet, so it may be a while before I can actually make any videos on The Wheel of Time as I have a load of other fantasy books lined up to read.

To anyone mid first read through, this has heavy spoilers for book 3
Thank you!
You’re a a true Radiant, thanks!!
Ty, just started book 3 today.
Damn, I should at least take a peek at the comments before watching the video. Hopefully it isn't ruined for me.

This video contains the biggest spoiler of this series till now...beware
Omg you're doing stormlight archive! This is the best thing ever!
The Cosmere and Legacy of Kain! He has great taste.
I've no idea how many magnificent fanarts were made about Roshar, which you've shown in the video

The lore is so glorious!
You should always mention that there are spoilers in videos like these, right from the beginning. But great job otherwise

Such a rich world (multi verse!). Thanks so much!!
Amazing video and amazing book series. Keep ‘me coming.

This has to be one of the most developed fictional worlds ever created . One of the reasons it is so hard to get into
Loved the backstory. Stormlight is my new favorite series after wheel of time. Excellent vid!
I did not know there were three moons .
😍 your video is nice , I can see roshar in a new light now
Wait... how did you not know? There’s like 2 different instances of stories about it, and the moons are mentioned a lot
Please please please add a spoiler warning to the video itself
Awesome is the only word to describe your work with stormlight.
More of these please!
Great video! I’d love to see you cover Temerant!
More Legacy of Kain Lore would be awesome dude!
Coming very soon!
Im going to play them all again cause of u bro
Having listened to the read by Kramer and Kate, "shinovah" was pronounced wierd.
Can we expect any wheel of time video from you? And whats the music playing at the end?

Can you do twilight?
No.
Where'd you find that picture of Shallan?
Hi, great video. Do you think you could share the WoBs (Word of Brandon) that told you the information about the Highstorms being natural phenomena?
Sandersoooooooooooooon! ❤️
“All was well until humans arrived.” Yep!
Your comment is a spoiler.
@@OrbitalCookie How can it be a spoiler, I have not read the book yet.
That was a direct quote from the video.
@@alanschaub147 Yep, video contains a major spoiler from the ending of book 3. Up until that point you as a reader would be unaware of this fact.
@@OrbitalCookie People making these videos should give spoiler warnings.
Personally, I don’t mind spoilers.
Why does odium appear as human? Who made the singers?
the way he says Adonalsium 💀
really good vid
It's shinovar. Emphasis on the "ar" damnit.
aye 1st
to die hahahahhaha!
SPOILER ALERT!!
