1: We will _not_ be seeing more of the Feruchemist steward in Wind and Truth, as Lift finds his corpse shortly after saving his Aviar from Mraize's - and right before Mraize attacks her himself. 2: There is absolutely, positively, 100%, no way Harmony is setting up a Rosharan refugee camp on Scadrial - the general course of the Cosmere, from all available evidence, is a buildup of tension (and to conflict) between Scadrial and Roshar.

Is this one of the epigraph letters? It’s fascinating

They call Nightblood "He" in warbreaker

2:21 what do you mean "Nothing more than"? I take offense at that, on behalf of my peo… I mean on behalf of the sleepless (Phew! That was close!)

brass and zinc are also emotionally manipulative metals, and seem to either calm the spren or riot them

Do the interactions between Sazid and the Skadrians in Sunlit Man change your opinion on the Harmony taking in refugees thing?

I believe Ishar’s experiments with pulling spren into the physical realm foreshadow a method of allowing radiant spren - and thus radiants themselves - to leave the Rosharan system.

Unmade were definitely not dawnshards. Firstly there are only 4 unless we have been lies to. Secondly they are solely commands invested with power. Not things, exactly, and definitely not in anyway sentient

Just finding these videos! Well done and love these videos.

“Penultimate” means “second to last,” just fyi. Thank you for deepening my enjoyment of RoW as we get ready for Stormlight 5.

Didnt sando say wax/wayne is directly after stormlight 1-5

Where is vin in the comers right now, I read a theory of her being Iyatil

I thought the people of Scadrial learned of aluminum blocking alomancy form the Lord Ruler. Wasn't it on one of his sheets that Vin and El found?

Adolin is the golden retriever of the Stormlight Archive series. If you like him now, you might whined up getting a Adolin Heart tattoo by the end of Rhythm of War. In The Way of Kings, i thought of Adolin as a little bratty, a little brash, and a little quick on the trigger (I think you’re suppose to). But my gosh, the more you see of him, the more you come to realize that he’s the one character that…. ?isn’t a d**k? (For lack of a better word) There’s a few good men in this series (Kaladin, dalinar). However, there is only ONE nice guy on all of Roshar : The Big AK

T'Odium is going to find basically....a loophole.

I think each Dawnshard relates to four of the sixteen Shards. Kind of like how the allomantic metals are sorted into groups of four. The only one that has been seen so far is one that relates to transformation so the associated Shards would be ones that have to do with change. Ruin and Cultivation would both be Shards that push change and Preservation and another (maybe Honor?) would be the ones that pull on change. We know that the Dawnshards were used to split Adonalsium. So maybe each Dawshard made a group of four?

I’m pretty sure they specifically said aluminum in the books? No?

Will you ever make new videos on this channel

The steward with the "raptor bird", his name is Gereh. He's present in a couple of the flashback sequences. Yes, it's been confirmed he's a Feruchemist and his bird has also been confirmed to be an Aviar, which I confirmed at Dragonsteel 2022 by asking Brandon directly, with him stating "it has mind abilities." Gereh was also murdered by Mraize during Rhythm of War. His rings were removed and holes were found in his body, possibly alluding to hemalurgic spikes used on him.

Great catch with the sleepless! I never noticed that, nor have I seen it on the subreddits. #2 The aluminium alloy weapons were confirmed in the book by Navani in chapter 19, although we don't know their origin, Raboniel and other fused spoke of Aluminium ("Ralkalest" in their language), several times AND mentioned that there was once a physical aluminium barrier in the ground around Urithiru that prevented the Fused that can sink into the ground from entering, this implies that Aluminium has been known about for a long time. Given that singers could bond shardblades, I expect that either the fused or their servants could have used soulcasters, so would have been able to make it in the past as well (we know Soulcasters can make Aluminium despite its properties given that Shallan had a necklace made of soulcast aluminium her father had bought for her). #4 Kelsier is trapped not due to being a mistborn, but due to being so heavily invested by the Well of Ascension (or potentially due to having held Preservation briefly). As he's a cognitive shadow, he's essentially a spren (but made of Preservation's Investiture, not Honor or Cultivation like Rosharan Spren) shaped like a human soul at this point. Spren are trapped in the system from which they came, so it makes sense that Kelsier would be too. #5 The blade is confirmed to be made of Raysium (not braizium), which is Rayse (Odium)'s godmetal. Raboniel confirms this in Chapter 84. Brandon I believe has also confirmed this. #8 I consider nightblood being anti-investiture somewhat unlikely. The issue is that anti-investiture is also destroyed when reacting with the appropriate investiture, so nightblood should only have the ability to destroy about 1000 breaths worth of investiture. However, Nightblood seems to getting stronger over time, not weaker (In WOB /events/4/#e5170, Brandon confirmed that nightblood is one of the most highly invested non-shard entities in the cosmere).

But even if Dalinar loose, humanity can keep their still controlled kingdom and stay in Roshar, with no hostility by Odium... why would be a big Exodus? I think the Rosharian leaving the system will be more likely the Odium troops under Evil Dalinar's command after he loose the duel. And maybe some protagonist gruop of good guys, to try to interfere with Odiums plans for Dalinar.

It makes me smile as a total cosmere nerd to think of how this would sound to someone who has never read a Sanderson book

While not mentioned explicitly, harmony has to have a perpendicularity and it should be in the south. The southern scaldrians have his metal. They did not synthesize it so they must have found it somewhere

I didnt even about the kelsier or Hoid stuff until i started watching online vidoes. Why was it so obvious?

First point about the worms and the sleepless blew right past me. What? Im so confused. Might have to go reread that.

I have contemplated the events of Odium's death by Nightblood. We know Nightblood devours Investiture quickly and without discrimination. Could it be that Nightblood significantly disabled the power of Odium/Todium without Taravangian knowing. Specifically because Taravangian does not have a benchmark for Odiums power. Cleary the shard will be powerful but it may give Roshar a hope in braize

4 dawnshards total. 1 on Roshar. The dragon is cultivation

Cultivation is Dragon, i think

Does anyone know what is the music that sounds at 1:03 ?

Love this series ❤️

I hadn't picked up on #3, but it leads credence to a theory of mine. We know that aluminum has universal anti-investiture properties, but what about duralumin? Does duralumin have universal investiture enhancement properties? Because if it does...HOO boy! Nevani's gonna have a field day when she discovers it! We could very well start the next phase of Stormlight with Roshar's space age with what that woman could do. Big Spoilers. Now this video is a year old at this point, but we do know now from The Lost Metal that Kelsior is INDEED the leader of the Ghost Bloods. We also know now that each individual member is free to pursue whatever goal they wish, but that the main purpose of the organization is to protect Skaadriel. As for whether or not Kelsior is going to end up as a villain or hero...well, that's gonna depend on who's side of the inevitable intergalactic war you're on. We also know that Harmony...might not be as "harmonious" as we thought. The Big Three in the Cosmere are gonna be Odium, Autonomy, and Harmony, assuming he doesn't devolve back into full Ruin. With the way things are looking, I honestly don't see a "good" option. Also between Vasher and Hoid, we know you can have multiple forms of magic and power them with different forms of investiture. THAT is gonna be interesting, especially if Mraise completes his objective of figuring out how to get Stormlight off of Roshar.

About point 2: yeah in waxwayne book 4 it is confimd that other planets have aluminium

AFAIK Vasher is using stormlight to sustain himself rather than breaths.

noice!

There is no way that Nightblood is anti-Investiture, if they were, they'd blow up on contact with regular investiture. It is a fun theory though.

Cultivation is a dragon

Very well done I presume the wanderer is cephandrius

could zael be vaser?

On point two you mention that the timeline of MB era 2 is roughly coinciding with SA. I thought MB era 2 was happening somewhere between SA book 5 and book 6, during the time jump.

I believe kelsier is both a cog shadow and an independent soul and most likely leading 2 organizations that oppose one another but through these actions work towards ruin/preservations goals. If true we won't know for a long time as it would be an incredible curveball. Wax is probably working with non shadow kelsier in a way like you said he is preservations ruin. Also I just want to submit that I think adonalsium created shards before dying and all this is part of his plan. Nothing to back this up. But I think it would be awsome to have patji be one of these shards and to have that world be created by adonalsium with others of the like. If shards are playing 4d chess on a cosmic scale adonalsium should be playing 6d chest on a multiversal scale.

Seons are to Devotion as honorspren are to Honor. They are spren “of” a Shard.

I found it interesting learning a little more of how humans came to Roshar using their own type of magic, fleeing some major catastrophe, either nuclear war, or asteroid impact etc. The grandmother of one of the native leaders thought the humans were dark skinned because they were covered in ashes.

In Warbreaker it is explained that there are 4 types of invested entities. I forgot what they are defined as exactly, but yeah, you don't have to jump through hoops to fit everything into the 2 mentioned in RoW.

Something I realized when you mentioned the allegedly Terris Steward working with Navani, that red bird could also be a reference to the short story from Arcanum Unbounded called Sixth of Dusk, which would be a really interesting worldhopper

I thought Wayne was the balance to Wax. Hates guns (ruin) and he is hiding it all in plain sight. Waxing and Wayning e.g the moon = balance.

Omg just found this, love it ❤️

I'm just as excited as you are. I think I'm a fantasy nerd officially. I'm fine with that.

I find it weird to define the Cosmere realmatically. Is there a reason why? I mean, the term "universe" has already been used earlier. Would that not be what the Cosmere is? If the sentence "Worldhoppers travelled thoughout the Cosmere using the cognitive realm". That sentence stops making sense. I think the Cosmere is, at the very least, the combined term that described the Physical Realm. Like the way we use "Universe". Realmatics complicates this immensely, exactly because concepts of relative time and space are warped. Maybe I'm rambling... LOVE YOUR VIDEOS!!!

The imprisonment of ba-ado-mishram might be the cause of the heralds loosing their minds .

I don’t buy Vasher’s theory that cognitive shadows are not the actual individual. I believe they are the very same person.
