In this Cosmere explained video we will cover the basics of Brandon Sanderson's massive universe (a.k.a the Cosmere) explained for beginners.
Take this as a Cosmere 101 where we'll be talking about the basics of Investiture, the story of the Shards, and of course we'll get a bit deep into the Realms (Realmatic theory) as well!
Getting to understand what it's the Cosmere will allow you (hopefully!!) to enjoy even more Brandon's worlds and stories!
Massive thanks to the content that I relied on to create this video (and helped me out resolving my endless spiral of doubts!):
