{{Copyright}} ==Death Rattle Quotes== {{for\|Death Rattle\|more information and a complete list of observed Death Rattles}} Over the course of ''The Way of Kings'', we see a number of characters exclaim odd, non-sequitur phrases moments ~~that~~before they die. The phrases are completely out of character for them and seem to be somewhat prophetic ~~before they die~~. The epigraphs for the chapters in Part 1 and Part 4 are a collection of these [[Death Rattle]]s that were collected by the [[Silent Gatherer]]s. The Death Rattles are an effect of [[Moelach]], one of the [[Unmade]].{{epigraph ref\|sa2\|82}} ~~'''''Death quotes numbered in parentheses occurred during the book, not in an epigraph.''''' <!--This is an epigraph page; should those be moved to the Death Rattle page?-->~~ {\| class="infobox sortable" \|Collected on the first day of the week Palah of the month Shash of the year 1171, thirty-one seconds before death.

The letter reveals information about the history of the [[cosmere]], the [[Shard]]s of [[Adonalsium]], and Hoid and Frost ~~themself~~themselves, while also making clear that Odium is a threat not just to [[Roshar]], but to the cosmere at large. A reply from Frost to Hoid appears in the [[Words of Radiance/Epigraphs#The Second Letter\|''Words of Radiance'' epigraphs]].{{wob ref\|5301}} {\| class="infobox sortable" ==Jasnah's Notes== Since [[Gavilar]]'s assassination, [[Jasnah Kholin]] has dedicated a large portion of her time to finding out as much information as she can about the [[Voidbringer]]s and the city of [[Urithiru]]; this research appears to have been prompted by seeing [[Szeth]]'s [[Surgebinding]] on the night of Gavilar's death and her own developing [[Nahel ~~Bond~~bond]] with [[Ivory]].{{book ref\|sa2\|prologue}} The epigraphs for the chapters in Part 3 are excerpts from [[Jasnah's notebook\|her notebook]] that lead her to believe the parshmen are descended from Voidbringers. {\| class=infobox !38{{anchor\|Chapter 38}} \|"Born from the darkness, they bear its taint still, marked upon their bodies much as the fire marks their souls." \|I consider ~~Gashashson~~Gashash-son-Navammis a trustworthy source, though I'm not certain about this translation.
