bookborn and i are here to drop some flamin hot knowledge about the survivor, yo. try to contain yourself
Bookborn: / bookborn

[@TLhikan]

Kelsier is one of my favorite fictional characters. I personally think that his trajectory in the books is towards heroism rather than villainy, but either way I'm excited to see where he goes.

[@Bookborn]

It'll certainly be heroism from his perspective...from our Stormlight characters, who knows...

[@molliethomas2585]

It wouldn't surprise me if he became an antagonist to the heros of the Stormlight series. Edit: Though I would pay good money to see him punch Taravangian in the face.

[@Bookborn]

Agreed on all accounts lol

[@LoreoftheWorlds]

It would be so much fun to watch him complete his destiny and punch each and every shard

[@whyonthefall5373]

@@Bookborn I'd pay for him and (pretend the and is in italics) Hoid to punch Taravangian

[@Kmmlc]

@@whyonthefall5373 I mean if Brandon writes it, and you buy it... didn't you pay good money for it no matter the outcome?

[@MeMySkirtandI]

I was so happy when Kelsier died a hero...and so annoyed when he didn't.

[@Bookborn]

It's the perfect blend for his personality though, let's be honest.

[@stevenwolanski4432]

I wouldn't be surprised if Kelsier and Taravodium team up together. They both are trying to become unbound from where they are and they both are a total "ends justify the means" type characters.

[@Bookborn]

For some reason I have a hard time thinking they'll team up...if only because Kelsier doesn't want to be second fiddle to anyone. I'm def most interested in their interactions though.

[@MasterBunnyFu]

It definitely seems more like a "too close to see eye-to-eye" pairing to me, bit who knows.

[@carlsmith4568]

@@Bookborn Taravodium is smart enough to make Kelsier believe that they are "equals" in their efforts together. I can definitely see Taravodium manipulating Kelsier to do his bidding.

[@eku_o1471]

I'm just really hoping that kelsier will be an antagonist because it will be way more interesting. Also villains better than the protagonist.

[@LoreoftheWorlds]

I love the idea that he starts off as a hero and slowly transitions to a villain over the course of the Cosmere. Can't wait to see if that happens!

[@Bookborn]

I hope he doesn't turn VILLAIN villain...you know? Like maybe he can stay solidly in antagonist territory for my own sanity. But...I think with his personality there's a very good chance it won't be that way haha.

[@Buphido]

3:25 If I may be so pedantic; She wouldn't have cursed with "Rust and Ruin", as that was a curse that became popular post Catacendre. She would, more likely, have cursed using "Lord Ruler". :P

[@LoreoftheWorlds]

Storm you, but yes - you're definitely right, lmao

[@carlsmith4568]

I am very disappointed in YT for not immediately recommending this video to me after it dropped.

[@LoreoftheWorlds]

Journey before Destination 😁

[@whyonthefall5373]

New intro is really clever. It helps with which worlds we will see. But, I absolutely adore the every planet intro Its really great that you have a collab. Kelsier is cool Great video

[@LoreoftheWorlds]

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed the video!

[@jahcode6132]

Really hope Kelsier ends up being a major villain in Stormlight that'll be interesting.

[@mysillyshorts]

Fantastic, Lore! You always delight me with your storytelling! Bookborn, so good to see you in this, awesome job and predictions!

[@LoreoftheWorlds]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@arlopaden9794]

i am blown away by the production quality on this nice job dude keep making amazing content

[@LoreoftheWorlds]

Thank you so much!

[@Jon_Browne]

@Lore, my man. I need to know how you make your videos. They are a totally different flavor of video and I’m addicted and you’re the only one I’ve found that does it.

[@LoreoftheWorlds]

That's so nice, thank you! I put a lot of time and effort into learning After Effects this year, and do pretty much all of my work in there, and then arrange everything in Premiere. For this specific video, I taught myself some basic stuff in Blender (all the Luthadel transitions were rendered there). I'm a theater technician by profession, so I'm sure that influences the structure and tone of the videos if that gives you any context. 👍

[@Jon_Browne]

@@LoreoftheWorlds you’re a total stud. Well done good sir!

[@ephraimcullen]

Bro, just found your videos. THIS IS SO GOOD! Love the effort in the animations and visuals. You are awesome.

[@BladedGuineaPig]

woah, new channel name! I like it!

[@LoreoftheWorlds]

Thank you! I am going to be branching out into more book series and real word things soon, and wanted the name to reflect that. Glad you like it!

[@Armor_Clad]

Your channel is gonna blow up one of these days. Love these breakdowns.

[@Bookborn]

Aggreeed, this channel needs way more attention...his animation slaps!

[@Armor_Clad]

@@Bookborn holy shit! Just realized you were in this video haha. Your channel is great too! I don’t know any Cosmere readers so I don’t get to talk about it much. it’s great to see channels like yours and Lore growing.

[@Bookborn]

@@Armor_Clad Shoot I hope my comment didn't seem like I wanted you to notice me 😂 I just sincerely think Lore is so talented in a way that makes me super jealous!

[@jhamerter4562]

I really like the format of this video. It kept my attention the whole time.

[@SnakeAndTurtleQigong]

Super fun series!

[@ethanw4797]

So hyped for this video

[@seanhalpin87]

Oh man, this is fun looking back on after the lost metal

[@dinocollins720]

Great video thank you!!!

[@D2ezbmu]

So, I'm a cosmere freak and I must say your format and narration is superb! You got on BOTH channels from me :)

[@D2ezbmu]

also the link is the descrip is broken.

[@LoreoftheWorlds]

Fixed, thank you! Thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed it!

[@thefastmagician]

This video was well done.

[@oOoMasterblasteroOo]

Technically, Kelsier didn't die by the Emperor's spear, but by a god level pimp slap.

[@hansantov]

Love the vids : )

[@LoreoftheWorlds]

Thank you!!!

There's always another secret

[@JimDeMarre]

Damn, you're really just dropping some of the biggest and most impactful spoilers in the history of the Cosmere in the first minute.

[@xaryuo]

a final showdown between Hoid ans Kelsier?

[@nuggetdoja871]

Do you make these cool animations in your videos yourself?

[@LoreoftheWorlds]

That is correct! Unless otherwise noted, it was all done by me.

[@nuggetdoja871]

@@LoreoftheWorlds Awesome!

[@LoreoftheWorlds]

@@nuggetdoja871 Thank you! 😁

[@colespees1092]

is this just speculation or fan theory or is this like actually real canon?

[@hoidtakesopioids]

I haven't read Secret History yet, but does Kelsier still have any allomantic abilities as a Cognitive Shadow?

[@LoreoftheWorlds]

That's a super interesting question. I'd assume that since allomantic abilities are a part of his spirit web, they would be there regardless of what body he's in. But I'm not quite sure one way or another.

[@hoidtakesopioids]

@@LoreoftheWorlds Great, cuz I have this imagined scene of badassery I keep turning in my head, in which Thaidakar burns pewter and easily outmaneuvers a Radiant, and everyone watching is shocked, utterly mazed, and I'm grinning from ear to ear reading the pages and thinking, That's my boy Kelsier 😁. I feel like we're all hoping for that kind of surgebinding vs allomancy confrontation haha

[@LoreoftheWorlds]

Yessssssss! I would bet big money that we'll be seeing that Surgebinding vs Allomancy confrontation play out sooner rather than later, and I can't wait

[@Nokus416]

So in Secret History, Kelsier does try to use allomancy but is unable to. His spirit even tries to swallow some metal but is unable to burn it. However, later Preservation does infuse Kelsier's spirit with some of his power, which allows Kelsier to move faster and with more agility, almost as if he's burning pewter. Then in Bands of Mourning, we see Kelsier a few years after Sazed's ascension somehow inhabiting his body again, but this time with a steel spike that let's him see steel lines just like inquisitors, which to me implies he can at least steel push at this time. But since he's in a physical body (presumably), I'd imagine he has all his allomantic abilities just like before he died.
