'''Moelach''' is one of the [[Unmade]],{{epigraph ref|sa3|101}} an ancient and terrible spren of [[Odium]].{{epigraph ref|sa3|62}} He is one of the great Mindless Unmade, like [[Ashertmarn]] and [[Nergaoul]],{{epigraph ref|sa3|104}} more a force or a creature of instinct than a conscious being.{{epigraph ref|sa3|98}} Moelach is the source of the [[Death Rattle]]s, visions of the future experienced by people on [[Roshar]] during their final moments of life.{{book ref|sa2|i|14}}{{epigraph ref|sa3|103}} Most recently, Moelach has taken up residence in the [[Horneater Peaks]].{{book ref|sa3|107}}

|Moelach is close. I can hear his wheezing, his scratching, his scraping at time like a rat breaking through walls.

Moelach's origin is unknown, it is uncertain when he came into being. He likely was involved in the past [[Desolation]]s, although it is uncertain what if any role he played in them. After [[Aharietiam]], Moelach seems to have remained active on Roshar, roving from place to place. It seems that over the centuries Moelach has slumbered at times, during which the Death Rattles cease.{{book ref|sa2|i|14}} They were noted to have returned around around the year 1166.{{book ref|sa1|71}} By that time Moelach was somewhere near [[Kholinar]], as [[Jezrien]] sensed his proximity.{{book ref|sa3|88}} By 1173 or so, Moelach was in the vicinity of [[Kharbranth]], where King [[Taravangian]] was systemically killing ill and insignificant people and collected their Death Rattles.{{book ref|sa1|71}} By late that year, Moelach had begun to move westward, drastically reducing the number of Death Rattles Taravangian could collect.{{book ref|sa2|i|14}} It had settled in the Horneater Peaks by early 1174,{{book ref|sa3|107}} where it possibly has had some deleterious effects on the [[Unkalaki]].{{book ref|sa3|37}} [[Joshor]], one of Taravangian's [[Silent Gatherer]]s{{book ref|sa1|endnote}}, was pursuing it, attempting to gain access to the Death Rattles.{{book ref|sa3|107}}

|Moelach was said to grant visions of the future at different times—but most commonly at the transition point between realms. When a soul was nearing the [[Tranquiline Halls]].
▲| There is one you will watch. Though all of them have some relevance to precognition, Moelach is one of the most powerful in this regard. His touch seeps into a soul as it breaks apart from the body, creating manifestations powered by the spark of death itself. But no, this is a distraction. Deviation. Kingship. We must discuss the nature of kingship.

Moelach is strongly associated with precognition; he is said to grant visions of the future at various times.{{epigraph ref|sa3|101}}{{epigraph ref|sa3|102}} The most typical of these visions are known as the Death Rattles, wherein people on their deathbed are granted a brief vision of the future,{{epigraph ref|sa3|102}} often speaking aloud in their final moments to communicate what they are seeing.{{book ref|sa1|71}} Moelach's touch seeps into a person's soul as they separate from their body, powering the vision with their death.{{epigraph ref|sa2|82}} This effect is directly associated with proximity to Moelach, the Death Rattles occur only when he is in the region,{{epigraph ref|sa3|103}} although it is uncertain how far this effect extends. Traditionally, these Death Rattles have been ascribed to the [[Almighty]], although some such as [[Hessi]] have figured out their true origin. It has been indicated that he may cause precognition to occur at other times,{{epigraph ref|sa3|102}} but these are as of yet unknown.
