The Unmade are some of the more mysterious of Odium's forces, there are many theories about their true nature, this is my take. There are 9 Unmade each has a unique name. Ashertmarn, Ba-Ado-Mishram, Chemoarish, Dai-Gonarthis, Moelach, Nergaoul, Re-Shephir, Sja-anat, and Yelig-nar. The problem with identifying the Unmade is the large variety among them. Some are mindless while others are intelligent and able to make plans, even to counter Odium's goals. This seems to imply that the Unmade are not all the same thing. We know that the Unmade were originally made, then they were unmade. This means that some of them may not have been the same thing before they were unmade by Odium. My theory sets the Unmade into 3 groups based on what I believe they were before they were Unmade. Group one is Ashertmarn, Chemoarish, Moelach, and Nergaoul. I believe that these are the mindless Unmade. We know definitively that Ashertmarn and Nergaoul are mindless unmade and while we don't have on-screen appearances of Chemoarish and Moelach, we can safely assume that Moelach is also mindless due to the similarity of his powers to Ashertmarn and Nergaoul, both of them have regional powers that bring some sort of effect to people within their general vicinity, which is exactly how the death rattles, produced by Moelach, work. I believe that these Unmade are pure splinters of Oduim, created similarly to the Nightwather, who was created by cultivation. Group two is Dai-Gonarthis, Re-Shephir, Sja-anat, Yelig-nar. These are the Unmade with minds. We know for a fact that Re-Shephir and Sja-anat both have minds because Shallan talks to both. We don't see Yelig-nar speak on screen but it is possible that he is capable of doing so. One interesting note is that Amaram has to swallow a gemstone to bond with Yelig-nar, this is similar to how singers have spren enter their gemhearts to gain forms. We also know that voidspren can communicate with the spren they are possessing and because Yelig-nar is basically a big voidspren its possible that he can communicate with the person he is possessing as well. In Hessi's Mytchica she says "Yelig-nar, called Blightwind, was one that could speak like a man, though often his voice was accompanied by the wails of those he consumed." Assume this is accurate we can place Yelig-nar in the category of Unmade with minds. Unfortunately, we have not seen Dai-Gonarthis on screen so far but this death rattle "Let me no longer hurt! Let me no longer weep! Dai-Gonarthis! The Black Fisher holds my sorrow and consumes it!" Shows a similarity from Dai-Gonarthis to Moash, and I think it is likely that Moash is under his influence. While we can't use this to prove that he has a mind, it is interesting. I belive that these Unmade were originally powerful spren like Cusicesh the Protector but they were unmade by Oduim. We do know for a fact that powerful spren can be unmade by Odiums forces because the Sibling is almost unmade by the fused. Group three has only Ba-Ado-Mishram who I believe is unique among the Unmade. Ba-Ado-Mishram is interesting for a multitude of reasons, during the false desolation Ba-Ado-Mishram was able to grant voidlight and forms of power to the singers. Another point is that Kallak calls Ba-Ado-Mishram simply Mishram which may show that he once knew Ba-Ado-Mishram before Ba-Ado-Mishram was an Unmade. However, the most important fact is that when Ba-Ado-Mishram was trapped in a gemstone all of Roshar was affected, singers became parshmen, spren could become dead-eyes, and the Sibling lost the ability to produce towerlight. This is troubling because to be able to affect so much you would assume that Ba-Ado-Mishram had a powerful connection to Roshar, this is odd because Adhesion is Honor's purest surge. The only surge the fused cannot use is Adhesion because Odium cannot use Honors purest surge. This is why I believe that Ba-Ado-Mishram was specifically linked to Honor, similarly to how the Nighwather is linked to Cultivation. We know that the Stormfather is older then the shard of Honor itself. I believe that originally Honor had his own child, similarly to Cultiviations child the Nightwather. Odium then Unmade that child and Honor was forced to co-op the Stormfather because he needed an heir.

I agree, we know that the unmade were originally spren who were unmade by Oduim, and we know that the fused tried to unmake the sibling. I would not be surprised if the other unmade were also children of Honor and Cultivation.

I think that while Lirin is by no means perfect he is doing the best he can, he does not like killing and shaming him for that is a little silly.

It’s going pretty good we are still wearing masks but they are letting us sing now.

Hey guys, I had no idea there was a church server on this website. What’s up?

I like to read the books all at once, so I have not read them yet.

Most of the former parshmen are kept in the dark, they don’t fully understand what is happening. I doubt that many would willing give up their body to the fused.

However you will still retain the original momentum, even if you dismiss previous lashings. This would make it difficult to make precise movements even without gear, so any additional weight will make a Windrunner’s movements more and more discordant.

I think this would be possible, because it might explain how Shallan was able to travel to Shadesmar in the first book. Shallan is a Lightweaver, meaning that transportation is not one of her surges, but if she were also Jansha’s squire she would be able to use Transportation.

Mass and inertia are proportional, so any extra gear a Windrunner carries would decrease their maneuverability, regardless of whether they lashed it. This would limit the amount of extra gear a Windrunner could carry and still be able to fight effectively.

Even if the shards had beads, I don’t think Nightblood would be powerful enough to destroy an entire shard. Questioner If it's possible for Nightblood to actually interact with a Shard, what would happen? Brandon Sanderson A Shard would try to stay very far away from Nightblood. Nightblood could not plausibly destroy an entire Shard but the Vessel could be in danger. Starsight Release Party (Nov. 26, 2019)

I cannot think of any Wob that disproves your theory, but I think that if a new person joined the oathpact the other heralds would probably notice. So when stormlight 4 comes out in November we will be able to see if your theory is true or not.

Szeth lifted nightblood out of the sheath to test Lift. If someone with a pure heart sees Nightblood they will feel terrible nausea. He left because he decided that she was a good person.

The most interesting death rattles to me are 17 and 35. 17. “I hold the suckling child in my hands, a knife at his throat, and know that all who live wish me to let the blade slip. Spill its blood upon the ground, over my hands, and with it gain us further breath to draw. ” 35. “So the night will reign, for the choice of honor is life... ” I think that they are connected to a climatic event sometime in the future where the only way to stop Odium is to kill someone, but because of the first ideal of the knights radiant they characters will not do it, which will allow Odium to win.

I just read a theory about the Dawnshards being extremely powerful fabrials, one or more being designed specificity to terraform planets. This would explain why Shinovar is so different from the rest of Roshar, because after the singers gave it to the humans they used the Dawnshards to terraform it. This theory would also explain how they destroyed an entire planet.

I was wondering how much we know about the Dawnshards? I know that they were somehow used to destroy Ashyn which means that they are incredibly powerful. I also have some theories on them, feel free to critique them. ( my theories assume that they are on Roshar, Honor mentions that the radiants will destroy Roshar with them, so it is safe to assume that they are on Roshar.) - The Dawnshards may be kept at Aimia, this would explain why the sleepless guard Aimia, the cook even says that there is something dangerous enough to end the world on Aimia, and they could have also been the cause of the scouring of Aimia. - a Dawnshard may have been responsible for the shattering of the shattered plains. Does anyone have any theories about what the Dawnshards are and what they can do?

I have a some questions about a nahel bond. can a person have multiple nahel bonds at one time, for example a cryptic and a Honor spren. Can a spren have a nahel bond with multiple people. how does a spren know who and where to go to form a nahel bond. did honor create the nahel bonds or did they already exist.

how many of the shards do we currently know about, and how can you tell if a book is Cosmere or not. I thought The Rithmatist was Cosemere, is it.
