Maybe a spren of Andolisium.....became unmade

Not sure if this was shared before but I believe the Knights broke their oaths on purpose to be able to arm the future residents or Roshar. They knew the Desolations were getting closer and close in such a way that civilization had a hard time catching up between. They decided to break their oaths knowing they would leave behind lots of Shardblades and Plate. They probably assigned a certain group to collect and hide them until the "time is right." Now the True Desolation is upon us and once that cache is found I think it will be a big help to the allied forces of Roshar. Also look up the opposite of the word Recreance, alot of words like Bravery and Courage, and Honor!

That coin, something about it.....maybe he just gained connection to Odiums investure. Another one off the list now how-to utilize it? Hmmmmmm

The og was the Lord Ruler!!! Kelsier infiltrated and took over the name in the new era.

I've been thinking this also, love me some Spook!!!

Here goes a crazy one, Kriss. She has an undercover ardent who could place the gem. She finally decided to start to doing something instead of sitting back and taking notes. Crazy handwriting is from writing fast and it not being her native language. But really I think its the sibling with help from who knows getting pissed that Navani is about to mess up its slumber and awaken it. Eventually leading to their bonding.

I think the ultimate lead up to the cosmere will be a epic battle between shards. Towards the end I think a lot of the shards will have new vessels, making them able to "use" their "powers." In the end, the only way to reform Ando would be to have all shards shattered from this battle. Hopefully the last one alive is "good" and sacrifices themselves to make it a complete shattering of all shards. The shards combine into one, with no one vessel, just gaining consciousness over time, and I think Ando will have its memories back. I think Andos investure was enough that he has plenty of identity left in the cosmere to reform, maybe with some memory lapse kinda like the kandra and how they lose memory when their spike isn't in them for a period of time. Then of course u would need people to protect this combined investure until it can "mature" back into Ando. Those would be cool stories, people trying to gain that investure for themselves while team guards it. Guardians of the Cosmere anyone!!!

Journey....

Off topic but this comment made me think of shardplate! What if thats what shardplate is, the spren making a suit of armor out of themselves, kinda like an Iron man and Jeeves (I'm not sure if that was the computers name in his suit lol)scenario. I think it's exactly like that, and since it's a suit there would be enough spren investure left over as a sword or spear, so u dont need multiple spren for blade and plate, u just have to reach the level of, idk how to explain it, mental telepathy with your spren? The next idea leads to that? Had to get the idea out fast else id forget!!! Sorry!!!

@Yata u r correct. I confused the "lost metal" with "trellium". And era 2 does happen then correct, but aren't there people from Scandrial already on Roshar. Maybe Ftl isnt the answer but maybe some sort of cognitive realm travel....and they meet earlier...and why isnt Cultivation @Weltalla possible candidate? Kandra have been known to world hop

Just throwing it out there but what if the lost metal in era 2 is a metal Honor or Cultivation spiked the Kandra with as a way of sending a message of assistance. In the final mistborn they reach space travel and maybe show up in the later arc of the Stormlight Archive! Crazy i know but thats kinda my thing lol!!

My bad guys i thought i read a WOB recently saying something along those lines, after a long search ive realized im mistaken! So thank you! Besides me trying to start false facts lol how bout that theory, cause I know you didn't come here just to correct me! Lol

The Parshendi predate humans and shards. Soo...native!

Thanks for the quick response! I dont think what the KR is doing is wrong not do they, it's the problem with believes. People have different believes and sometimes those conflict and neither party thinks what they are doing is wrong. I think that's part of the problem here and i hope what leads to the solution. Both sides team up after they realize they are pawns in a game of god chess and really kick some serious Odium butt. And i believe they will use some of their powers both Parshendi and KR for a planet exodus cause no way the planet survives, plus it's on 1 step on the Path. Isnt this 4 or something out of 7.
