Ashspren Posted March 28, 2018 Report Share Posted March 28, 2018 Quote "Some men, as they age, grow wiser. I am not one of those, for wisdom and I have always been at cross-purposes, and I have yet to learn the tongue in which she speaks." -- Hoid, Oathbringer We all know that Hoid has undoubtedly had some interactions with Shards... so when he refers to Wisdom as "she," is this just a coincidence? Or is there a Shard for Wisdom, whose vessel happens to be a woman? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoelyWoely Posted March 28, 2018 Report Share Posted March 28, 2018 It's up for debate, but since it's not capitalised like the other shards names I assume that he was just personifying the word. Much like how you'd call a ship a she or whatever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weltall Posted March 28, 2018 Report Share Posted March 28, 2018 Been asked before. I really don't think this is the case. Anthropomorphizing the concept of wisdom (and virtues generally) as female is a very old thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
