Lost Metal Cosmere Connections

The gloves are off my friends. This book connects with EVERYTHING else.
It's throwing the DCROIYWTRAFOATTANCITMSW for a loop.

I’d much appreciate a Cosmere Connections playlist, just so we can watch all of them in one go without having to look around for each one!

[@Cosmere_Considered]

Great video! I’m excited for the Aethers/Magic videos and the updated timeline video you talked about!

[@lonsunocook]

Talked to Steve and he is looking at creating the cosmere connections playlist, thank you for the awesome suggestion!!!

[@TheCosmerenaut]

Done and done!

@@TheCosmerenaut when’s the oath bringer and rythm of war Cosmere connections coming out?

[@TheCosmerenaut]

​@@TheCosmerenaut1 I was shooting for this Friday, but my research has been taking longer than I expected. April 7th, for sure.

[@Juanpa_SC]

"It takes one to know one" got me right there! So true. I belive that Wayne (or it might've been Wax) ate "a greasy burrito" or something like that. CHOUTA!!! There is at least one Herdazian in Scadrial!

[@havenschade8174]

I think its even named

[@TheCosmerenaut]

HOW DID I FORGET ABOUT THE CHOUTA?!? I noticed it while reading, but it didn't make it into my notes for some abysmal reason.

[@ClayHales]

Silly Steve. Worried that there won't be enough secrets. There's always another secret. In my head canon, Allriandre or one of her descendants adopts the surname Wayne, and eventually Bruce Wayne is born introducing Batman to the Cosmere.

[@TheCosmerenaut]

I mean, he already is Master Wayne.

[@MauroLB]

Have you noticed that alloys of the god Metals can create "A different set of sixteen each"? Its on the ars arcanum. That means there are 31 more powers to discover (One should be the Malatium of the first mistborn novel)

[@Scp4521]

I think that duralumin is the "Lost metal", because when mistborn stopped appearing, it went from one of the best Allomancy metals to uselessness. But then Hemalurgy brought it back. Speaking of which, how did the Set find a duralumin misting to turn into a spike?

[@lonsunocook]

No idea, but it's definitely an interesting question!!!!

[@Scp4521]

@@lonsunocook my current bet is they used that experimental version of Hemalurgy to create a duralumin spike without a duralumin misting, but I don't think they're that advanced with experimental Hemalurgy yet.

[@lonsunocook]

@@Scp4521 well if that experiment Marisai interrupted leads to anything you could be correct.

[@Scp4521]

@@lonsunocook that's what I was referring to, yes.

[@TheCosmerenaut]

I think you could still give a duralumin misting metal to burn and they would recognize that and be able to, but it wouldn't do anything. Finding a duralumin misting would just mean giving a bit of the metal to people in the right bloodlines. Or, like they've said above, hemalurgic compounding of spikes.

[@rycbar7198]

I enjoyed and Appreciate your cosmere connection. And also "The Iriali"( golden haired "fairy people" ) are on Scadrial it might as well be there 5th or 6th world on their "long trail" and they are also mentioned in Tress of the Emerald Sea. And please make another updated timeline version of all the significant events. Thank you

[@TheCosmerenaut]

An updated timeline is coming later this year! I'm holding off until we get all the secret projects so I can try and place them appropriately too.

[@whyonthefall5373]

Man, Cosmere lore is just something else, and I love it for that reason. Really interesting seeing how divisive the book has been. I definitely understand why people see the amount of connections here as too fast too soon. Anyway, great video. The effort you put into these is greatly appreciated

[@TheCosmerenaut]

It was a lot, for sure. I feel like Brandon's going to be able to keep up the momentum though. Happy to help!

[@KatiePayneVlogs]

Awesome videooooo!!!!!! 10/10!!! Loved all the hard earned info!! Oh and that’s neat seeing my Kelsier print in the background there. Subscribed!!

Wait, why didnt shai and hoid like eavh other?

Awesome video! Can't wait for the Tress connection video!

[@TheCosmerenaut]

Just finished filming it!

[@goatsplitter]

A bit spoiler.... thanks for clearing up the whole atium/lerasium trace creation if friggin harmony wasn't also going through some kind of split. I'm too smooth brained to figure that out - was thinking somehow that wax had found away around it considering that harmony is still a thing; not that there must be some kind of rift/division in process. This is compounded with Saze or i forget whom seeing another entity with harmony... ruin splitting off? something new? Fun stuff. great book. great video!

[@TheCosmerenaut]

Thank you! Glad it helped clarify some things!

[@gavinsmith9871]

[@DanChandler13]

I think you'll find it's 'ruth-full'. Good work Steve, I bloody love these videos!

[@TheCosmerenaut]

Ruthful, which gradually made its way to rueful. Etymology is the coolest!

[@DanChandler13]

Full disclosure, I thought I'd made 'ruthful' up! Turns out it's a perfectly cromulant word all along!

Unfortunately no, though Brandon has said that Hoid is still taking good care of it.

[@martenberke457]

something I learned recently about number base systems (i.e. base-10, base-12, base-16) is that the number system based on the steel alphabet would actually be classified as base-17 due to the number "16" getting its own symbol in the "ones" position

[@TheCosmerenaut]

Oh that's interesting!

[@emielregis1540]

Hello. My I ask you about Spook? I sure he is alive somere in cosmere(he is mistborn, so atium spike is only think he need). But we didn't saw him in ages...so I'm not sure. We know he ,,left'' after a 100years of ruling but what that mean? Where is my old 1 era lord of flames?

[@TheCosmerenaut]

I HAVE NO IDEA. But Spook has to be out there somewhere.

[@snowdrop9810]

6:18 I need to know what that book/thing is. I dont think I've read it. Also, could the ghostbloods NOT be those specific people who we saw like, 800yrs ago?

[@TheCosmerenaut]

You can request it on the 17th Shard website! And there's no more than 10 years separating the Ghostbloods of Roshar with the ones we meet on Scadrial.

[@Purrplegal98]

"....i know this because i'm a nerd" no, really? Good stuff as always!

[@TheCosmerenaut]

Well, it's true!

[@ucc3rd]

I'm glad I can watch videos that break down the connection. I couldn't finish the second book in this series because of a single main character in the series.

[@TheCosmerenaut]

Happy to be of service!

[@Draugo]

I wish I had a better memory so I could get all these but random names just don't stick so half the stuff doesn't have the impact it should.

[@TheCosmerenaut]

I'm here for you Draugo. I got you.

[@MrJballn]

It's not a matter of Kel catching the lie, it's a given he does. It's that he trusts Saze less and less as a result of him doing it, and his observation that the out of character behavior shows his Intention making him less and less himself.

[@TheCosmerenaut]

It didn't seem to me that Kel caught the lie, but I could be wrong.

[@bobheiman5774]

Dlavil's sister is Iyatil from Roshar who is mraize master

[@TheCosmerenaut]

Yup!

[@ethanburkhart3751]

Back again with more System Order questions. In the description you said it’s throwing the whole thing for a loop, and as of today I just started Shadows for Silence. That being said, as I make my way back into Scadriel, will I be better off holding off on Lost Metal until after Warbreaker, or even partway through the Stormlight Archives like you mentioned with Tress and the other SP coming at the end? Forgive me if you already clarified this but my memory is bad and I can’t go back and look at your reply mid type of this, but when the last secret project is out, is your plan to rework the entirety of the System Order, or just where those four books go?

[@ethanburkhart3751]

Ok, I just went back and read it again about whole new reading order after fourth project. ADHD memory makes life so easy. But I am still curious about Lost Metal specifically if I should hold out, or just dive into it as I proceed in the current reading order

[@TheCosmerenaut]

I have significantly reworked my reading order at this point, because Lost Metal I think should be near the end but it would be weird to split it with Stormlight, so I've moved the entirety of Mistborn Era 2 to after Rhythm of War. Ultimately though, I think you'd be fine to continue on with Era 2. The connections aren't story breakingly big, especially with Warbreaker. You'll honestly catch most of them if you've finished Elantris and Emperor's Soul. The best order to read the Cosmere is the order you do.

[@tannerflowers1994]

as much as I would love an updated timeline vid. probably best to hold off until all the cosmere secret projects are out

[@TheCosmerenaut]

That's the plan. Hopefully coming in August.

[@snowdrop9810]

That retcon reminds me of seeing marasi burn chromium instead of cadmium to pass time once.

[@TheCosmerenaut]

It feels a little more significant to me. Not just the fixing of an oopsie, but fully added flavor to a minor character.

I always assumed slow Swift was just Hoid

[@TheCosmerenaut]

Nope, he's Granddaddy Tolkien!

[@nibblitman]

So I feel a lot like the main antagonist here and in Elantris are basically the same thing. All about structure and ambition all at the same time all about the strongest is leader. It just feels very similar.

[@TheCosmerenaut]

There's definitely more going on with Jaddeth that we don't know yet.

[@nibblitman]

Listening to someone go through Elantris on a podcast recently and like breaking stuff down just after I had finished up Lost Metal and man did it sound similar. Just gonna say it seems crazy for the first book to linkup but I am not putting stuff like that past Sanderson to do.

[@picivyvortac2641]

Did anyone else notice the surprising and irregular number of times the number 16 turned up in this book? I'm sure there's something there but I lack the skill to see it.

Apart from the two in the acknowledgments, it actually occurs exactly 16 times. Coincidence? I think NOT!
