Geopolitical and Historical fan theories for Roshar
Hi All,
I'm currently running a game on Roshar and am using this as an opportunity to implement one of my favorite fan theories. The theory has been around before and I'm sure it's one that a lot of people have heard, but I'm "canonizing" the Shin Wars Shard collection theory. Essentially, that the Shin Wars were a cover for the Shin to collect as many shards as possible to prepare for their future plans.
I'm currently working to try and find similar fan theories or Headcanons that I might like to incorporate but I'm having a lot of trouble filtering for what I want. The vast majority of fan theories are about characters and magic systems rather than "history". So I turn to you. Do you have or have you seen any interesting theories regarding alternative fictional history for Roshar?
On a related note, we have over four thousand years of history during the Era of Solitude and I have yet to see a solid timeline of all the little scraps we get throughout the series of different historical events. If any of you lucky folks have succeeded where I failed, I would appreciate it if you could share it with me.
