“Many cultures speak of the so-called Death Rattles that sometimes overtake people as they die. Tradition ascribes them to the almighty, but I find too many of them to be seemingly prophetic. This will be my most contentious assertion I am sure but I think these are the effects of Moelach persisting in our current times. Proof is easy to provide: the effect is regionalized, and tends to move across Roshar. This is the roving of the Unmade. ”

—Hessi's Mythica, page 170

Death Rattles are a phenomenon related to the Unmade Moelach. His presence causes some dying individuals to experience precognitive events in the form of cryptic utterances, in the final moments of life. The emergence of the Death Rattles appears to coincide with the expedition of King Gavilar Kholin of Alethkar where the Parshendi were first encountered.

Uses

King Taravangian of Kharbranth keeps a record of Death Rattles taken from selected hospital patients (the terminally ill, the lowly, and the forgotten) who are slowly and intentionally bled to death solely for this purpose by the king's Silent Gatherers. He does so in order to supplement the Diagram, despite the Diagram itself calling Death Rattles and Moelach a distraction. The Diagram is aware of the possibility that Moelach, as Unmade servant of Odium may be feeding them bad information, but they believe the benefits of future sight outweigh the risks. They think the knowledge of what subjects the information contains is useful whether the information is correct or not.
