Verily

Adolin just needs to breathe a bit of breathe into Maya and then the magic will happen!

I sort of figured she was told not to bond a spren out of fear of it contributing to her discovery. Was there a line that specifically made you think it was out of fear of her using the Dawnshard?

Thanks for the welcome! I've been a lurker for far too long. Lol This link is great. I'd never read these WoB before. The fact that he's no longer a Dawnshard makes more sense, because I was confused about how he could interact with Preservation's bead and Elhokar's spren if Dawnshards can't/shouldn't be interacting with the investiture of different shards.

Why would Kelsier put the bands in a temple that already existed? They weren't just there to be hidden, but to be found. The writing is on the mural is definitely interesting, but why would he give up the Dawnshard of he found it? I'm also curious when it was confirmed that Hoid held a Dawnshard. My guess is that he has the one of Fortune, so would that make the opposite one chance?

I think Hoid is the Dawnshard of Fortune. He is the one who is different. He chose not to pick up a shard at the shattering of Adolnalsium, but I think he was required as one of the four Dawnshards to make it occur. Rsyn is the Dawnshard of Initiation, hence the command 'change.' Identity/ Intention are the other two if I had to guess & Intention was used to lock Odium away on Braize. Can't wait to see if I'm correct...
