With what we know from the Band of Mourning, I think Axindweth is from Southen Scadrial and is channeling Connection to speak the Listeners language. A Feruchemist would need to learn and store the langue over time, where as using Connectoin means you can speak the the local language, when connected to the land, but retain your own accent, see Allik from bands of mourning.
The fact that Thaidakar and his associates are so involved in everything that transpired is mind blowing, I'd never really processed that of course Axindweth was working for him. The Cosmere connections are going to be even crazier soon! Beautifully produced video as always :P
I can't believe I didn't realize that Gereh was the other Scadrian. Now it seems so obvious but I've only read those chapters twice so I'm betting I would have caught it on a third reading. I didn't know the clue about the rings on my second read so that's why it didn't click. Anyway, great video setting up all the different events and POVs for that night. I can't wait to see where you go in the next video. I bet this took A LOT of time to plan out and edit but the end product is awesome! I bet a collaboration between you and some other book tubers making a Stormlight/Cosmere video would be epic. Your editing skills are some of the best and then combine that with some other ideas and theories I bet would make for some great content. Anyway that was a great video, I can't wait for the next installment.
Great video, can't wait for the rest! Dalinar and Odium's champion having the same haunting red eyes is because they are both under the Thrill, because Odium originally wanted Dalinar to be his champion, and gave him the Thrill.
This video is a TH-cam cinematic masterpiece. So much time and effort into the animations, transitions, music, and content. The mood and lighting is spot on!
Excellent video, as always, Christian! Like seriously, this is absolutely next level! Every video you produce is of high quality! I’d very happy if you cover the Dawnshards and their relationship to Ashyn, it’s something that has been dominating my mind for a while.
2 comments about Axindweth. She may be using a Duralumin mind as opposed to a coppermind to speak Venli's language. I'm not 100% on that, but considering who she is working with I wouldn't be surprised. Also, her name is very Terris. So even if there wasn't a comment made about her rings we could very reasonably guess that she is in fact a Terris woman. Just another detail that showcases Brandon's ability to leave hints in plain sight.
Hey are there still plans to release more videos in this series? This was my favorite storm light archive video and you are the best content creator for it!
What do you personally think about the style of retelling the same event from multiple POVs piecewise like Stormlight has done with the feast? I think it is a very powerful way to convey the depth of the story on a personal, planetary, and universal scale. I had no idea how DENSE that night was until your channel, man. Even after reading the first three books twice myself before seeing your stuff, I just kind of thought there were an awful lot of coincidences and meshes that night... I was not prepared for how much I was blown away. But your analyses of that night over the course of your channel has really shown me the scope of this story. Brandon Sanderson is the first author to have given me whiplash with how the scope of the story changes so quickly. I do not mean this in a bad way. When you're in the middle of a person to person drama then they say something that makes you realize this entire other thing has been happening in the background that changes the morality of several of the encounters you've previously made an opinion on, it often has me stopping to appreciate how well the many avenues and magnitudes of plot are woven together. Thanks to your work on this channel, I can appreciate it to a much greater degree.
Just to point out what I think is an inconsistency in the timeline. At 10:00 I dont think Szeth already knew about what he was gonna do that night at this point. Cause timeline wise, He was just a slave in the castle. I dont remember if Jasnah's assasin had already sold the stone but am sure he was just working with the Parshmen. The assassination plan was only given to him after Nale told Venli his stuff and Gavilar spooked out Eshonai.
So worth the wait! You always do an amazing job at tying all the pieces together. And the video quality/production is excellent! I think I need to watch this another 2-3 times to let it all sink in. Thank you, Christian.
Amazing how you have been able to stitch together all these details into a cohesive story. Its as if you have added another novella into the Cosmere, so excited to see the next episode!
Gets me hyped for the 5th book. Happy we have these videos to deep dive in while we wait for the 5th one. I also just love the art work you include....the visuals are amazing.
Gorgeous and informative video! Late to the party I know, just finally caved and read the prologue. Book Five can’t come soon enough. Loving this series, keep it up mate!
This was absolutely extraordinary video and analysis work. You can tell how much time and care went into this video (well, all of your videos 😊 , but I especially noticed with this one!). Can’t wait to see what’s next!!
3:26 feruchemy can store physical, mental, and spiritual attributes. Connection (capital C) is one of them, which we don’t fully understand but likely storing/tapping your Connection gives you the ability to Connect yourself to a land or people and speak their language, which is likely how Axwyndth does it
Hey Christian, so sorry if this is stealing the wind out of your sails. I just had some theories for book 5, and wanted to share them in a place where they could perhaps be explored further. Shallan was born in 1156, and killed her mother at the age of 11, making the year of her death 1167. Gavilar was assassinated the same year. The Stormfather, if it even is him, said in the prologue chapter that a herald had died. I think Chanarach, who had "flaming red hair" was actually Shallan's mother. Her death was not one such as Jezrien experienced, but rather one that returned the Heralds to Braize. When she got there, she caved, allowing the next desolation to occur.I think this means that Shallan's fifth Ideal will be something along the lines of, "I caused this desolation." Also this means Taln never broke! I think we are going to see a reunion between Shallan and her mother before this series is over, but i also wanted to comment on the identity of the "Stormfather" at the time of the feast. Jezrien, according to Dalinar's POV, was a drunk outside the palace at the time of the feast. Taln was on Braize, and Kalak, Nalan, and Shalash were in the palace. If my previous conjecture is correct, Chanarach was in Jah Keved. Taravangian identified Dova as Battar, so it is safe to assume she was either at the feast near Taravangian or somewhere in Kharbaranth at the time of the feast. This leaves only 2 Heralds able to mimic the Stormfather, with Vedel being the patron of the Edgedancers. Due to the description of the "Stormfather" in this prologue chapter, I believe that he is instead being mimicked by Paliah (Through her Surgebinding) or Ishar (Through his acces to most of the Honourblades.) Just some guesses I had at stuff that would be revealed either in Stormlight 5 or later. Great video as always, and I'm so hyped for this book!
Yo! Awesome video man. I'm newish to the channel and just got caught up with your latest Stormlight videos. In regards to the Heralds, you brought up Kalek and his madness, as well as Taln, we also see Ashe is a bit gone too. Jez is a mad hobo. But Nale seems hardly mad if at all if my memory serves me correct. I could be way off of course. Why do you think he isn't as maddened as the other Heralds?
Currently there's way too much coincidence surrounding how the True Desolation came about - we have Axindweth randomly going off on her own, giving Venli Gavillar's voidlight, and overdetermining the return by starting the entirely separate Venli plot to return the desolations that then runs into Gavillar's plot. Heck, Kelsier even remarks that it's as if they're all just following the tide. And Szeth happens to be in the slave market in Alethkar at the same time? And a herald died on that exact night? No way was this coincidence and Gavillar clearly wasn't pulling all those strings. Who? Someone probably with access to Fortune - either Odium or Cultivation. And that suggests Gavillar was talking to Odium.
Beautiful visuals and great content, but PLEASE adjust the sound balance. In a large part of the video I struggled to understand your narration because the music and sound effects drowned you out. I love the breakdown. You pointed out a lot of connections that I had missed.
Thanks Beth!! As for the audio I've found it's different depending on the device you listen on. For me it sounds nicely balanced but I'll try to find a happy medium in the future.
@@LostinDiscovery yeah its pretty insignificant, probably not even worth mentioning. Seriously though, I'll be even more shocked if this isn't what actually happened and B$ surprises us with something completely unexpected.
Okay CRAZY theory probably never gonna happen but what if Odiums champion is like a new evil resurrected version of Gavilor, I just want to put that out there
"Szeth son-son Velano, truthfull of Sinovar; wore white on the night he slew a monster."
Gavilar's feast had so much shit going on. The best reread experience.
My dude, the level of production in this video is goated!
Thank you so much!
@@LostinDiscovery Can I ask what software you're using?
@@Niall001 Final Cut Pro :)
@@LostinDiscovery Thanks!
Szeth-son-son-Vallano, Truthless of Shinovar, wore white on the day he was to do Roshar a huge storming favor.
in Honor's name I hope youre right.
It's interesting that feruchemy apparently works so far from its associated shard.

I never suspected he would be so involved in Stormlight either but oh man, I'm here for it!
I can't believe I didn't realize that Gereh was the other Scadrian. Now it seems so obvious but I've only read those chapters twice so I'm betting I would have caught it on a third reading. I didn't know the clue about the rings on my second read so that's why it didn't click.

Brilliant work. Can't wait to see more
Good to have you back mate, I really do appreciate all the hard work you for us❤️
Thanks so much for watching Maayan!
Great video, can't wait for the rest!

The production on this is amazing! This video is what am going to show my friends to convince them to read SA
it has a ton of spoilers though!!
Video production is the best among any Cosmere channels
Man oh man, you’ve raised the bar for quality so high. Now I feel ashamed of my simple little videos.
Thank you so much for working so hard!
🙏🤯
Thank you John! Your channel seems super informative mate, don't be ashamed!
Touche my brother touche... Chef's kiss and a standing ovation this was actually really good even for a cosmere nerd like myself

Fantastic continuation of this series Christian! Loving the style, the art, the polished production. Definitely worth the wait :)
Thank you mate! See you on the next one :)
Holy shit, the quality, the voice everything was on a different level. The wait was worth it. Love you.
Hey are there still plans to release more videos in this series? This was my favorite storm light archive video and you are the best content creator for it!
Yes mate! Just absolutely swamped at the moment. So late but they will happen!
So excited you split this Stormlight content into parts!! Amazing work!!
Cheers! I definitely think it'll be better for the channel this way.
I'm always in awe of your work! The intro gave me chills. Amazing job mate! Thank you!
That's so nice of you to say, thank you Drew!!
Thanks!
Cheers Ben, that's very kind of you. I really appreciate it!!
Thanks
Thank you very much!!
I didn't catch any of that about Gereh! This is telling me I should re-read these chapters. I can't wait for the rest of this series!
This is so amazing! No wonder you needed to take your time. Peak quality. You the true researcher of SA 👌

I relate to a lot of what you said here, it's honestly astounding how much there is to this one event! I'm glad you enjoyed.
Love the art and production quality in this video! So excited for the rest of the series!
Best lunch break surprise! Here we go!
13:55 yes we do, it was in one of the storm visions, zeths distant ancestors discovered the honor blades shortly after the "final" desolation
The quality of this is insane. Amazing
I’m loving the music. Really makes a nice atmosphere
Oh, the production value. Beautiful.
Thank you!
That was awesome.
I’m so hyped to see the rest of it
Yooooo, the level-up in production is immense. Great work!
Thanks mate!

I would have loved Vin to see roshar...her dynamic with shallan would have be great.
I wonder how she would interact with Kaladin, personally
I’m a huge mistborn fan, and I didn’t catch that ghostblood being a feruchemist. That’s crazy but makes total sense

Brandon has stated outright that all the heralds are insane. Nale's insanity just manifests "normal" when in reality he too has lost it.
Nale's "madness" basically lies with his relationship with the law. I believe I elaborate on this in my Nale video from a while back!
Wow what a great vid editing is amazing
