I've been wondering recently about the Shattered Plains, more specifically about the Shattered part. From this quote:
Quote
“They blame our people
For the loss of that land
The city that once covered it
Did range the eastern strand.
The power made known in the tomes of our clan
Our gods were not who shattered these plains.” — 55th stanza
we can infer that the Shattered Plains were not always shattered. It raises another question though: who or what shattered it?
The Song of Wars states that it wasn't the Parshendi or their gods
Spoiler
(I assume this refers to Odium and the Fused)
who shattered Stormseat. A different theory I've seen is that the Knight's Radiant destroyed the area, but that doesn't explain how it's symmetrical. Another theory suggests that the Splintering of Honor caused a shockwave (based on the earthquake on Sel; I understand that the Splintering of Devotion and Dominion was ages before the earthquake btw), and Roshar has no tectonic plates (apparently).
So, to you brilliant Cosmere fans, do you know what shattered Stormseat? I have asked a couple of people, searched through the WoBs, and now I am here.
