The sleepless are definitely up there in the same tier of creepiness.

[@ExploringTheCosmere]

@@williammell845 I agree! I'll make a video on them in the future

[@eleishar18]

@@ExploringTheCosmere Yup sleepless are really creepy, especially because they're not artificial. But in books there is almost no information about them. Also, really creepy guys are Dakhor Monks.

[@knoxverdex3228]

nightmares

[@IamHattman]

​@@eleishar18Just imagine a Dahkor monk with some spikes then.

[@Ryan7456]

ive never heard of the cosmere before, but im already getting the final empire on audiobook before ive even finished the video, this is metal af

[@ExploringTheCosmere]

That's so awesome to hear! I think Mistborn is the perfect place to start the Cosmere.

[@danielkennamore1]

Mistborn Era 1 is definitely the darkest series to date, but if you enjoy, there's a ton of above average to excellent content.

[@renendell]

Metal indeed

[@ScribblyDoodle]

You should read stormlight as well, it's by far Brandon Sanderson's best work

[@tingtaiji]

It’s implied that the homicidal nature of inquisitors was from Ruin’s influence. We don’t have enough information if that’s changed.

[@brennonbeecher1351]

BTW we do know that Marsh has an additional atium spike giving him the feruchemical power to store youth as that is how marsh's immortality would have to work with him needing more atium to compound in TLM. We also know that while the standard Lord Ruler inquisitor did have 9 spikes, but a high ranking one would have 11: the two additional being the feruchemical gold and allomantic atium. Marsh also has enough spikes for Brandon to do whatever he wants with him lol

[@unavailableun]

As the most horrifying creature in the Cosmere, I can confirm that I am a Steel Inquisitor

[@skilfularcher]

Inquisitors are some of the coolest and most horrifying creatures in the cosmere

[@ExploringTheCosmere]

100% agreed

[@robertkruger5744]

Just finished The Lost Metal so now I’m surfing KZbin for videos. Great job!

[@ExploringTheCosmere]

Glad you enjoyed it! More videos are in the works!

[@Imonaeatyobabies]

Great video! I hope the movies wil do these guys justice one day.

[@ExploringTheCosmere]

I hope so too! I would love to see a live action Inquisitor.

[@herreiro1865]

I'm curious to know how they would adapt the kandra too

[@DoliSkipper]

And they say Brandon Sanderson can't do Grim Dark...

[@awildsylveon9896]

The Final Empire Trilogy was an absolute pillar of my childhood. Thank you for doing this

[@joshuakanapkey6570]

Very cool dive! Haven't read the Mistborn books in a while. Perhaps a return is in order.

[@ExploringTheCosmere]

Glad you liked it! I'm doing my first reread of Mistborn, currently on the Final Empire. I must say, it's definitely worth reading it again!

[@Ryan-rq6dx]

I think the chimeras from era 2 might be more horrifying

[@The_Natalist]

Honestly, Inquistors might be the _least_ horrific hemalurgic construct so far. I'd like to see regular Hemalurgy (using nromal human attributes) be used for more than creating monsters though, it would be fun. Super soldiers anyone?

[@thorinodin]

Amazing video thank you. We need to talk about Autonomy and its influence

[@UncleMikeDrop]

Clive Barker would be proud.

[@malcolmhodnett8874]

Sick breakdown. Please don’t just disappear like a lot of other Cosmere KZbinrs Ideas for videos so you don’t vanish: Realmatic theory Mechanics of worldhopping Planet overviews Cosmere timelines

[@ExploringTheCosmere]

Thank you! Don't worry, I don't plan on stopping. I want to build this channel into something great and get more people into the Cosmere. Thanks for the ideas!

[@herreiro1865]

Another great video, I started reading way of kings and I'm looking forward to more videos about stormlight archives too

[@ExploringTheCosmere]

Thank you! I have a few video ideas for stormlight. I'm thinking a video about every type of spren could be fun 🤔

[@monkey39128]

They're not that bad. I met a group of them in a bar one night. Apparently they were on a work night out. They were really nice, they even bought my drinks. I'm playing golf with them next Saturday.

[@ExploringTheCosmere]

They must just put on their mean demeanor when they're on the clock lol

[@monkey39128]

@@ExploringTheCosmere Exactly! 😂

[@truskoursavage677]

Awesome! As a long time Mistborn fan, I always love to see someone else with a passion for it. I am curious; who was the artist for the Steel Inquisitor pictures at 1:15-1:30?

[@ExploringTheCosmere]

Glad you liked it! That artist is Santi Bosch. I added the red markings to their eye tattoos to be more book accurate

[@truskoursavage677]

Neat! I can't wait to see your Hemalurgy video; it's by far my favorite magic system in the Cosmere, what with all the capabilities it has. By the way, do you have a 17th Shard account? I always love to post my ideas on there to discuss them.

[@ExploringTheCosmere]

I'm Vesperon Starweaver on 17th Shard. I haven't made any posts yet. You can find me on the subreddits too (user is u/VesperonStarweaver). I've made some posts there. Let me know your username and I'll check out your posts!

[@truskoursavage677]

Trusk'our is my username 😊 hope to see your input on some of my ideas!

[@ruin8891]

Can’t wait to read more about Marsh in era 3.

[@TheKoty222]

Just found ur channel man

[@ExploringTheCosmere]

Hope you enjoy it! New content in the works!

[@luischirinos643]

Maybe inquisitors just had this fixation on blood and gruesome stuff because of the nature of their creation, how it psychologically affects them, their soul is really torn and the influence of ruin

[@ExploringTheCosmere]

Yeah, I think that's most likely the case. I'm wondering if we'll see new inquisitors being made in Era 3

[@eddieford9373]

Who figured this out. Was there just someone stabbing people with spikes trying to see what would happen?

[@ExploringTheCosmere]

I can answer that, but it's kind of spoilery. Have you read the mistborn Era 1 books?
