WeiryWriter Posted July 31, 2016 Report Share Posted July 31, 2016 So last month for my birthday I ordered two signed books and they just recently arrived. Question: To what extent do the Shades of Threnody remember their lives? Silence’s grandmother appears to recognize her but on the whole Shades don’t really act like people. Kelsier however, the other main example of a Cognitive shadow, seems little altered from his living state. Answer: Shades of Threnody are not as self-aware as other shadows. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oversleep Posted July 31, 2016 Report Share Posted July 31, 2016 Huh. I suspect that Threnody Shades are fundamentally different from the usual Cognitive Shadows (I'm not implying that they're not Cognitive Shadows - just a different kind). BTW, what is this "Con Exclusive"? I can't find anything on it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yata Posted August 1, 2016 Report Share Posted August 1, 2016 Probably the "turning to a Shade" doesn't stop as the Shade's spawn... The turning have yet to be finalized and replaces the previous awares 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Zodiac Posted August 21, 2016 Report Share Posted August 21, 2016 As far as we know minor cosmere worlds get there power from shardpools. Proof of this is in sixth of dusk wherw the parisitites are in patji's eye. However shades create other shades, so even if the power origonally came from a shard pool, it has been diluted through generations of shades. That might be why the Threnody shades are less aware. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vissy Posted August 27, 2016 Report Share Posted August 27, 2016 The shades seem to be primarily driven by rage. My guess is that the Cognitive Shadows of Threnody have been influenced by a Shard... Odium? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farnsworth Posted March 15, 2017 Report Share Posted March 15, 2017 (edited) AU spoilers Spoiler So, ambition was here, maybe the Shades are a broken version of what used to be there. Maybe Ambition made sentient ghosts, or something. Edited March 15, 2017 by Figberts 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dyring Posted March 18, 2017 Report Share Posted March 18, 2017 Well, on Sel Odium killed 2 shards, and as an effect its difficult to use shadesmar. On Threnody Ambition got whacked(even if he managed to get away to have his final end elsewhere), could there be a block of some sort? (very)Loosely simular to the Hoed in Elantris, the shades could perhaps be cognitive shadows that dont quite get all the way into the other realm causing a bunch of different roblems, including being partly cut off from their self. And ofcourse, also causing them to be visible(and leathal) in the physical. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
