So, the powers of Devotion and Dominion make up The Dor in the cognitive realm, yes? Could someone come along and claim those shards, or have they been splintered, and the investiture that made them up now creates The Dor?
So, we know that Honor's Heralds are the strongest fighting force in the cosmere (sourced from The Sunlit Man) and i was just wondering if there was any other known instances of a shard creating similar forces?
Ok so this is. Admittedly a wee bit stupid, BUT.
Is Wits new flute a shardflute?? Is Design his flute now?
So, a little bit ago i put up a theory around thinking that perhaps a Unite Dawnshard might have been what was calling to Dalinar to Unite them.
After rereading wind and truth, i no longer wholly belive that it was a dawnshard, but i do have proof that it wae most likely NOT the shard or remnants of Tanavast / Honor.
In one of the middling chapters of WaT (i dont remember specifically which, sorry, but i know its day 6 / 7) Dalinar states that he still occasionally hears a voice telling him too "unite them" and that he believes that its not Honor, but rather a remnant of Ado.
While that does play into the theory that "Unite Them" actually refers to the shards, rather than the kingdoms of roshar. This definetly could be the case, its a distinct possiblility, but im not sure if Ado would have a voice that could act in that manner (does anyone know if theres any other instances that might point towards a lingering voice of Adonalsium?)
My belief is rather that theres a different shard in the cosmere, if not in the Rosharan system, that was calling to Dalinar - most likely the same one that claimed him after his sunmakers gambit shenanigans, but im not sure which possible shard that could be. Some folks have pointed out that Dominion could fit dalinar but im not sure about that
So, of the four tones of Roshar we know of, unless ive missed something we only know the origin of three: Honor, Odium, and Cultivation.
My theory, is that the fourth Tone isnt for a fourth shard, or one of the old gods, but rather, a remnant left behind from Adonalsium creating Roshar, something that he spent a rather large amount of time on, i believe.
It mightnt be A Tone of Adonalsium or anything, but a remnant of the time he spent there / the effort he put into the rosharan system?
Of course, it could very easily be a direct tone from one of the old gods (most likely the stones, i would think, as the others have sort of had their territory co-opted by one of the shards - the nightwatcher to cultivation, the wind to honor, etc) but we know that Adonalsium directly influenced Roshars creation, so
It doesnt seem unreasonable to say that the fourth tone might be a remnant of his presence
Ive seen around a couple of posts now the theory that hoid was once the vessel for adolnalsium, and im just wondering if theres any proof or substance to this theory? Id love to hear both sides, for and against
Could the Unite dawnshard (going off of the theory that Unite is one of the dawnshards) be on Roshar? Brandon has said that we have seen the holders of the other two dawnshards somewhere, and so far we've heard the most about Uniting people on Roshar, with Dalinars visions and Tanavasts command being to "Unite Them"
Obviously thats very flimsy evidence, and i dont really have anything more to say, but two Dawnshards were already on Roshar at one point or another, so it doesnt seem completely unreasonable that a third may have ended up there
So from the events of mistborn era two, we know that other shards can / do create God Metals, outside of Preservation and Ruin, obviously, the shards on roshar havent obviously done so, giving gifts in other forms, namely, the Nahel Bond, and the Spren.
When spren turn into shardblades (and plate) the blades are obviously made out of their essence, which is the whole thing about why radients / radient prospects cant use normal shardblades, right?
But, inert shardblades being fixed in their form, would they be equivelant to the god metals found on scadriel?
The same thing could be asked about the Honorblades, as they (as far as i know) were never spren in the first place?
Im unaware if this question has already been asked / answered, so please let me know!
Ive lost a fic i read ages ago and wanted to reread/ check up on, i cant remember what it was called but it was a critical role vox machina / oc fic where the two ocs were called crit and roll i think? As nicknames, at least. It followed pretty closely to the main plot and last i checked was left just before the briarwood arc? The two characters ARE NOT members of vox machina but end up traveling with the group / maybe joining just before i stopped reading
