Notification Squad! This video contains SPOILERS for Rhythm of War! I'm so glad to finally have the first episode of SoSA up. This video went through so many different directions and forms, I wouldn't even know where to begin! A mixture between wanting to top everything I'd done before whilst not having made a video for the better part of a year provided me with multiple setbacks and frustrations but hey, we're here now and I'm very proud of the end result. Thank you again for all the support and I hope you enjoyed the video!

I liked this video, particularly the ending. A couple of points: 1) AFAWK, we have no evidence that Gavilar was working with the Ghostbloods, as you suggest. We know that he knew of Thaidakar, but that's about it. From everything we learn in RoW, I think it's pretty clear that Gavilar and the Ghostbloods were rivals racing for the secret that BAM contains. 2) The best thing in this video is how you point out that Kalak's (and by extension all the Heralds') madness could very well stem from the imprisonment of BAM. This is something I hadn't put together. We know (from Oathbringer) that Honor was dying (if not dead) at the time of the Recreance, because he didn't/couldn't intervene when the Radiants of the time learned of the contents of the Eile Stele. Having said that: 3) I don't know if I believe that Honor's Death (or Splintering) was caused by BAM's imprisonment. Having said that, we have to explain SOME reason why the Sibling lost the tone. Everything comes back to BAM. I think we really need to think about Connection, and the way Shards relate to it. Recall that those who follow Honor believe in ten Surges, with Connection being one of them. Whereas those who follow Odium--exemplified by Raboniel's lessons in RoW--state that Connection is not a real Surge. So Connection being something of Honor, but not Odium, is something that can be deduced. If so... how did BAM manage to Connect to the parsh to start the False Desolation? Did she manage to corrupt Honor to gain that power of Connection to do it, starting the Splintering of Honor and causing huge grief because she still had that Connection (to Honor) when she was imprisoned? This seems a possible explanation, but there are others. Book 5 seems to have three main story threads: 1) Szeth's mission to cleanse Shinovar, 2) Shallan's race to BAM's gemstone, and 3) The Contest of Champions. I'm looking forward to more theory.

We know that the Sibling fears being unmade, which means Spren can be unmade. What if Mishram was a splinter of Honour before she was unmade into Ba-Ado? If she retained some of her Honour powers, it could explain the connection abilities, as well as how something with Honours surge would serve Odium by bringing about a desolation. Furthermore, Sanderson has never specified that the three bondsmith Spren were always the bondsmith Spren, just that there are three now and there never have been more than three bondsmiths active at the same time. I think the timeline doesn't add up with the Sibling and the Stormfather as there used to be bondsmiths while Honour was alive and as such while the Stormfather didn't exist yet (?) Right? I just think there's definitely something to BAM that's never come together and perhaps this might answer something. But I agree it's all about Connection. If RoW was about learning about light, SA5 will be learning about Connection.

My personal theory is that BAM, before becoming unmade, was something like a 'sprenspren' or an 'godspren.' a spren formed from how people on roshar would see the shards and the spren, or of investiture itself. This would be why she'd be able to provide forms to the singers, and why trapping her has such an impact on the entirety of roshar.

I’ve been rereading them while finishing up other Cosmere works (Mistborn era 2 and novellas). And I’m slowly starting to piece together what the grander story of the Cosmere may be.Exciting stuff. This video definitely helped clear some things up and spurred some interesting theories. Great first episode!

4:18 I think this is a mistake. A desolation begins when ANY herald on Braize breaks; the oathpact allows them to share each other's pain but also means they all have to hold out to keep the fused on Braize. I think part of the decision to leave Taln behind was because they noticed in all the previous returns, he was the only one who had never broken. The stormfather says something to the effect of this when Dalinar is having his vision of the last desolation.

I've only read the four SA books once and I'm about to start them again so this is the kind of stuff I wanted to get straight before the reread. More of this would be awesome since there is so much more to be explored, my mind is jumping to so many things right now. Btw, I've always thought it was at least some of the heralds and possibly one or both of the Ghostbloods and Sons of Honor that were responsible for the shattering of him. I can't wait to get started on my second read to see what details I can find.

Ba Ado Mishram was apparently incredibly important to Roshar and everyone on it. I get that “what” of the story. Very mythic. It’s like King Arthur’s connection to The Land, how wounding either wounds the other. But why? If BAM was a creature of Odium, a latecomer to Roshar like men rather than part of its ancient constitution, why was she so fundamental? We know about the Nightmother and Stormfather as “archspren” of Cultivation and Honor. We know about the Sibling who is of both. Was BAM Odium’s “archspren”? Or perhaps “of” all three?

I have a theory that the unmade were once spren of the Dawn Cities. If that is the case, it makes sense that trapping one broke something with Roshar. If the Herald's are bound to Honor, and we know that Honor (as well as Cultivation and Odium) are bound to Roshar because they are so invested in it, it stands to reason that breaking Roshar would cause problems with everyone bound to it.

An older video but coming back now a few months prior to wind and truths release. Just wanted to say that upon a finished reread, Kalak is by far my favorite herald. Named "The High Judge" and "The Holy One" due to his decision making and his own moral compass which, in the storm light archives, crumbles and his personality becomes the opposite of both. Ironically one of the coolest and tragic characters that I hoped to see every time it was a new chapter.
