The '''Mythica''' is a book written by [[Hessi]].{{book ref |sa3 |77}}
It is a book on the [[Unmade]], and [[Shallan]] says that the book wasn't received well.{{book ref |sa3 |77}} It is a new book, and mentions [[Jasnah]] at least once, to disagree with some of her work and questionings.{{epigraph ref|sa3|93}} This book is not in many bookstores, and the few that had it in [[Kholinar]] were stolen.{{book ref |sa3 |73}} 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.{{epigraph ref|sa3|98}} 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
In this book, Hessi attributes personalities to the Unmade, and describes how they ran wild during the [[Desolation]]s, the nine Unmade.{{epigraph ref|sa3|91}} She also claims not all of them were destroyed in [[Aharietiam]], and insists that some are alive today.{{epigraph ref|sa3|92}} 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.{{epigraph ref|sa3|100}} [[Moelach]] as the [[Death
Shallan finds the book while in Kholinar.{{book ref |sa3 |77}} She uses it to discover that there are two Unmade inside Kholinar

|My research into the [[Unmade]] has convinced me that these things were not simply "spirits of the void" or "nine shadows who moved in the night." They were each a specific kind of [[spren]], endowed with vast powers.

|Of the Unmade, [[Sja-anat]] was the most feared by the Radiants. They spoke extensively of her ability to corrupt spren, though only "lesser" spren--whatever that means.

|Lore suggested leaving a city if spren start acting strangely. Curiously, Sja-anat was often regarded as an individual, when others--like [[Moelach]] or [[Ashertmarn]]--were seen as forces.

|I am convinced that Nergaoul is still active on Roshar, The accounts of the [[Alethi]] "[[Thrill]]" of battle align too well with ancient records--including the visions of red mist and dying creatures.

|[[Moelach]] is very similar to Nergaoul, though instead of inspiring a battle rage, he supposedly granted visions of the future. In this, lore and theology align. Seeing the future originates with the Unmade, and it is from the enemy.

|[[Chemoarish]], the Dustmother, has some of the most varied lore surrounding her. The wealth of it makes sorting lies from truth extremely difficult. I do believe she is not the [[Nightwatcher]], contrary to what stories claim.
