Honestly the thing I'm most curious about in the cosmere right now is Vivenna's sword

Nightblood is such an awesome character. He really takes your Breath away. 🙂

This was cultivation design on how to deal with Rayse all along, that is terrifying how craft she is. Putting Nightblood into a play knowing at some point will be used to kill Rayse meanwhile cultivate Taravangian to take up the shard. She manages all of this right under the nose of Odium while Odium thinks she hiding from him and scared.

Honestly, I love the moral quandary Nightblood imposes on the Cosmere. What is evil? Nightblood _himself_ doesn't know! It's left up to the wielder! xD

“Hello, would you like to destroy some evil today?”
Congratulations. You get the award for the best possible opening this video could have had

[CRohrscheib]

Nightblood is by far my favorite weapon in fantasy. The Cosmere needs more Nightblood

[Draugo]

"Who better than our boy Taravangian"... I don't know, I have my doubts that there might be many people better.

LOVE the new set up!
And great video!

When ever nightblood pops up I burst out laughing. He kind of has the same personality as Hoid in a way. He is terrifying but in a manic kind of way. I can’t wait to see more of the talking sword!
I also didn’t read Warbreaker until I finnished Oathbringer which is unfortunate but at least I got to see nightblood in warbreaker and make the connection

I can't believe the algorithm just randomly fed me Cosmere content! I really needed this

[philvogelfilms]

Wow, I think I need to reread Warbreaker... lots of stuff I forgot about!
Fantastic art choices as usual, and digging the new lighting. Keep it up mate!

[Rachelsjourney]

Wonderful video! I follow 17th Shard and Brandon’s channels and love listening to the theories and WOB but your videos really help pull all the details together. They are so well done...with the history and the fan art. Thanks for taking the time to make these. Love the new lighting too.

Now I need to start WOT this weekend.

What if you awakened a hemalurgic spike? I would love it if you did more cosmere stuff. A video on the koloss or kandra would be sweet, I'm not sure if there is as big of an appeal as stormlight stuff but I'd watch.

[PetrikLeo]

Amazing video! Love the upgrade in everything about this new video; production, the art credit, editing, music. Well done, bro! I'll keep on practicing my editing so that I can create content as good as well-produced as this.

Also, *shudders* at Nightblood's power... Can't wait to see what's next for this blade in Stormlight Archive book 5!

[carlsmith]

I look forward to all of your videos.

My personal theory is that Endowment helped in the creation of Nightblood and "bestowed" a Dawnshard upon it. We know one Dawnshard is Change, and we know that Brandon said one Dawnshard is different from the rest. I believe that Nightblood is a manifestation of the Dawnshard called "Destruction" or "Death" or "Entropy" or something like that.

Just recently found the channel, but I cannot wait to watch all your Cosmere videos. Watching people discuss the worlds and characters within just brings me so much joy!

[Hironomus]

"if you are" in every take. OMG so relatable.

[timweiner]

Found your content recently after reading Rhythm of War. Only just now realized how relatively few subscribers you have compared to some, and I was taken aback! Your production value is really good, your presence on camera is really strong, and your content is really engaging. I'm genuinely surprised more people have boarded this ship.

I have. Liked and subscribed my guy, keep up the great work!

[Monado]

I can't wait for this to be updated! So much new nightblood content in wind and truth!

[jertlemiah]

Your videos are so chill and well edited! Keep it up!

[RavensRants]

Loved the video Man! And thank you once again for supporting me and being so cool on Twitter a month ago. My channel just hit 60 subs and I'm enjoying every minute of it. I've got so many cosmere video ideas, I can't even keep up, lol.

Question: How do you add those motion effects to images? The art I use is so static and I'd love to be able to do that.

Thanks for the help and the awesome content!
