So we see harmony say this . So is he seeking a champion or a successor to his Shard ?? My friends say he's looking for a champion /agent. I say he's looking for a successor. Now , if he wants a champion or an agent . He can choose from so many worthy candidates. Wax, Wayne , Marasi , Marsh , ten soon, re luur, Me laan, and perhaps others we haven't seen. There's really no reason for them to embody both preservation and ruin equally. Afterall Odium's choice of Champions in Dalinar and Kaladin seems strange since both needed to give up thier emotions and to be emotionless zombies to give thier willing consent to be his champion. It seems it's not very important that the Champion be of the same mindset as the Shard. Also , leshwi and the heavenly ones are Odium's agents even tho they are very honorable and not odious in any way. These are the reasons which make me believe Harmony's looking for a successor. Like both Rayse and Taravangian fit Odium but Tod is more cunning and dangerous and perhaps more efficient at channeling the shard. Similarly I believe Sazed now finds himself to be locker into inaction due to being Connected to the shard but in the wrong way. He needs someone who will interpret the shard as Discord or well atleast someone who's like him but not locked into inability. I believe we will see Sazed give up the Shard in Era 3 to someone who he deems more worthy of it. Someone who can channel it more efficiently at war without becoming a tyrant like Rayse. Someone who like Taravangian or dalinar is better at planning and strategies. Someone who can kill to protect. Whatchu think ?
