Mythica

The Mythica is a book written by Hessi.
It is a book on the Unmade, and Shallan says that the book wasn't received well. It is a new book, and mentions Jasnah at least once, to disagree with some of her work and questionings. This book is not in many bookstores, and the few that had it in Kholinar were stolen. This book does not contain the information from the events of Urithiru.
Hessi talks of most of the Unmade, such as Sja-anat and Ashertmarn. Hessi's Mythica advises the reader on how to tell the signs of some of the Unmade, and what to do if these signs are found. This usually involves running. She has found that Sja-anat was the most feared by Radiants, for her ability to corrupt spren--though it only spoke of "lesser spren" which she did not understand the meaning of--and was often referred to as an individual, when others were seen as forces instead. She can only speculate on the ninth Unmade, but has firm beliefs on the other eight. Hessi holds fast to the idea that the Unmade were spren imbued with vast powers, and as such are manifestations of concepts and divine forces as much as individuals. In the last section of this book, Hessi speculates on the ninth Unmade, going over anything she does not know enough about, or could have confused into another Unmade. She theorizes on whether the ninth is Dai-Gonarthis, and whether their actions could have truly caused the destruction of Aimia. Many Unmade she does not know much about, such as Ba-Ado-Mishram and Chemoarish. She cannot find any speculation on their powers or effects, only to say that Ba-Ado-Mishram was a commander of the enemy forces, and that Chemoarish is not the Nightwatcher.
In this book, Hessi attributes personalities to the Unmade, and describes how they ran wild during the Desolations, the nine Unmade. She also claims not all of them were destroyed in Aharietiam, and insists that some are alive today. Hessi gives a brief description of the known unmade, saying what they do and what they are called. She believes that the three mindless Unmade are still around, Nergaoul as the Thrill, giving battle rage to both sides, and visions of red mist and dying animals, as said in the legends. Moelach as the Death Rattles, because they seem to be regional, moving about across Roshar; Moelach was said to give their visions most commonly in the transition point between realms, when a soul is nearing the Tranquiline Halls, and the Death Rattles seem oddly prophetic, too much so to be cast away as not a possibility. Hessi speculates that Moelach is the reason why predicting the future is of the enemy, as that telling the future is believed to originate from him. The third great mindless Unmade is Ashertmarn, Heart of the Revel. There is not much she can find that might come from this Unmade, but she speculates that the great debauchery of Bayala in 480, leading to dynastic collapse, may have been the influence of Ashertmarn.
Shallan finds the book while in Kholinar. She uses it to discover that there are two Unmade inside Kholinar: Sja-anat and Ashertmarn.
