Friendshipspren Posted March 18, 2022 Report Share Posted March 18, 2022 So we now know that Virtuousity is or was a Shard . If so could it's inverse , Depravity be one. I've been rooting for Depravity to be a Shard since i learned about them so i hope so. What do y'all think ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honorless Posted March 18, 2022 Report Share Posted March 18, 2022 I think the Wisdom / Prudence / Survival / hiding Shard is the last one, and probably would only be revealed in era 4 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A sort of scientist vs artist ( Think jasnah vs shallan, Both brilliant but in very much opposite ways) 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AerionBFII Posted March 18, 2022 Report Share Posted March 18, 2022 I’m leaning towards wisdom/prudence as a lot of other people have stated there was a WOB on it. Reservation would be cool also 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IndigoAjah Posted March 18, 2022 Report Share Posted March 18, 2022 1) pretty sure it's "Prudence" or similar to Prudence. That one Shard had an intent like this was confirmed, no Shard so far seems to fit that closely at all, there's only one left, etc. Plus wisdom and omniscience are key attributes of God in every major religious dogma, which seem to strongly inspire the Intents of Adonalsium. I like Prudence, makes me imagine the Shard as a 70 year old lady drinking chamomile tea 2) there's no confirmation that, and I think reasonable suggestion against it, Shards are all paired with exact opposites. Soft opposites maybe, but the Intents we have seen are too complex to have exact opposites in most cases. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would see Cultivation as opposed to Invention. Cultivation is controlled growth, and one of the components of Science, I don't think it's opposed to Invention in any way. But yes, Virtuosity is likely to be the Shard the closest to Invention (at least in the sense Cultivation is the closest to Ruin) and not opposite to it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are WOBS pointing to a. Wisdom-ish b. Anguish-ish c. Prudence-ish d. Something that wants to survive IMO, Wisdom isnt a thing anymore since we have Invention and Virtuosity. We also ot the Anguish WOB in 2020, so that feels more likely. Edited March 19, 2022 by teknopathetic 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Oltux72 Posted March 19, 2022 Report Share Posted March 19, 2022 Misery is sort of Anguish. If you look from the right angle. Is that answer pre-RoW? I would assume that Brandon wil keep a last cartridge in his magazine, just in case he really needs it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Lotus Posted March 20, 2022 Report Share Posted March 20, 2022 I think that Wisdom is too close to Invention, personality. Prudence or misery is my guess 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iceblade44 Posted March 21, 2022 Report Share Posted March 21, 2022 Yeah my personal vote would be the references of a shard of wisdom and knowledge was referring to Invention. Anguish or Despair would be something that be interesting 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or, for a word that's less connected with whiny teens these days (rightly or wrongly), Worry. Despair sounds a bit too similar to The Endless, of which I'm sure Brandon is aware and probably wants some separation from given both groups are eternal, transcendent entities anthropomorphising aspects of consciousness Edited March 21, 2022 by IndigoAjah Added a bit 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
basement_boi Posted March 21, 2022 Report Share Posted March 21, 2022 I think the last Shard could be the Survival Shard, with its Intent being something similar to Caution. I would like to think of it as being a sort of the inverse of Whimsy, with Whimsy being, “I take all sorts of risks without thinking, I just do whatever the heck I want,” and Caution being, “I need to think about this, I need to make sure I keep myself alive.” 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
