Cosmere Q&A | What Are The Fused?

The Fused of Roshar are a formidable force of warriors under the control of Odium. They’ve been around for millennia and with the final desolation they have now become a relentless army that gets reborn with each passing of the Everstorm. But what exactly are the Fused? What makes them different from the regular Singers we’ve come to know?
Brandon Sanderson is well known for his magic systems and deep characters, but not a lot of recognition goes towards his skill in creating unique and well-developed fantasy races. So today I hope to shed some light on one of his most well known races in the Cosmere...

The is the best most comprehensive interpretation of the Fused explained. You explain them so well and simple. Thanks.

[@RavensRants]

Glad you enjoyed :)

[@andygraf4997]

Dear Raven, love your work. My one suggestion is to mention how far into spoilers you are. This way when we are watching these we can see if it's current or if maybe a future release has answered the question.

[@TheTyrial86]

I actually want to see what cause the parshendi to accept Odium, and refuse Honor. It would be good to get some context, on why they accepted Damnation.

[@RavensRants]

Well the back half of Stormlight Archive will be focused on the Heralds. So we'll probably see what happened in their flashbacks. Hopefully...

[@pramodbhat2818]

Probably something to do with ba ado mishram

[@fredkingmusic4137]

I love the videos!! A cool video idea could be fabrials. Keep up the great work

[@RavensRants]

I've been interested in fabrials for a while. Just trying to see if I can turn it into a video somehow 😅

[@fredkingmusic4137]

@@RavensRants yeah, with the release of rhythm of war we get a much closer look at fabrials, still don't understand them an inch though haha

[@elkadore]

This is effing dope!!

[@RavensRants]

Thanks!

[@odasjockstrap1409]

Would you make a video on the Regals

[@marl3ymarl3y86]

I’m definitely coming back to your videos before Stormlight 5 to refresh my memory of the lore, thanks!

[@RavensRants]

Lol glad to be of service 😉

Imagine living in your own planet with your two gods and one race came from another planet, took your planet, your gods like the humans more and abandoned you and still the humans see you like the enemy because the god they bring with them is lending power to your race

[@Emanon...]

You mean like Israelis have done?

[@juanca120]

@@Emanon... nah not the same

[@nischalr577]

What do you think will happen to Leshwi after the events of RoW?

[@RavensRants]

I have a whole theory about what will happen to the Singers around Venli (Leshwi included). Check out my video on it (5 theories for book 5)

[@nischalr577]

@@RavensRants I really liked Leshwi because Kaladin trusts only her among the fused to fight with interest and not dirty.

[@elWhiteNinja1]

If I could make a sugesstion for your thumbnails, remove the red on the bottom. It is the same color as the already watched bar and is confusing, people may think they have already watched your video and skip over it. I think the red on the other sides is fine. Pretty much everytime the video is suggested I think I have already watched it.

[@noelhann5262]

Something I'm confused about. So back before the everstorm, a defeated fuzed would have to go back to Braize until the next desolation. But what about the pursuer? He was said to have been killed first in the first desolation, so every time he died he came back and hunted whoever killed him until he killed them. How does that work? I could understand how it could work in the later desolations, like the ones where two desolations only had a year in between. In those he could come back well within a single human lifetime. In earlier desolations, though, how did it work? Him dying would probably let whoever killed him live a full natural life before he could come back again.

[@andy24897]

In Rhythm of War it states that he killed himself at the end of each desolation

[@the_well-known_stranger2275]

Prior to the everstorm the fused had a different means of returning to Roshar during a desolation. We knew that had to have a means of returning to Roshar after being slain as simply killing fused hosts was not an option for ending desolations, they only ended when the Heralds returned to Braise. We don’t know what this method was but presumably it’s slower than using the everstorm.

[@robertlauer9737]

T.w. Raven. You knocked it out of the park again. Excellent video.

[@RavensRants]

Thank you so much bro! 🙂

[@joshhoehne8281]

Love this video. So happy to see that your new schedule seems to be working out for you. Catch you on the next one,

Thanks man, yeah I've kind of hit my stride again so all looks good so far 😅
