Ripheus23 Posted March 10, 2019 Report Share Posted March 10, 2019 Sort of kind of not really maybe? Imagine the logical shenanigans involved in making that postulate work out... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karger Posted March 11, 2019 Report Share Posted March 11, 2019 Devotion is confirmed to be splintered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ciridae Posted March 11, 2019 Report Share Posted March 11, 2019 Does Trell have to be only one shard? I could see a scenario where one of Autonomy's Avatars absorbed a piece of Ambition for example, in which case the red color of the haze attacking Scadrial would make more sense, since it would be investiture of mixed origins. I'm generally on board with the idea that Trell is in some form Autonomy since we have the WoB saying that what we've named Trellium is from a Shard we know, but I think theres something more to Trell than that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now that's a really intriguing idea. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quantus Posted March 12, 2019 Report Share Posted March 12, 2019 Per WOB if you leave a mass of Investiture alone long enough it has a way of eventually becoming Sentient all on it's own (even if nobody picks it up). I think that means it's theoretically possible that Trell could be one of the bigger chunks of Ambition, Devotion, or Dominion that has begun acting on it's own. My money is still on an Avatar of Autonomy, but I do think that Splintered doesnt necessarily mean Out of Play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RShara Posted March 12, 2019 Report Share Posted March 12, 2019 Devotion and Dominion are all crammed into the Cognitive Realm, so I really don't think that it could be either of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teknopathetic Posted March 12, 2019 Report Share Posted March 12, 2019 I am not saying it is true, but I would love if the big bad were Ambition. Spoilers All Series Spoiler 1) Ambition was splintered, but we have seen that Ambition likely is connected to necromancy magic (Threnody, and Brandon WoB saying Ambition would be mono-black in Magic the Gather). 2) Of all the shards, who might make a plan to die (while wounded) and resurrect? 3) Ambition had time to see Devotion and Dominion go down, so she had time to learn and make an ambitious plan. 4)The other Shards seemed somewhat relieved Ambition was splintered and saw her as a potential threat (perhaps villain). 5) While Autonomy makes sense as the new villain, Brandon seems to care very little about making that word a novel and something people need to read. 6) Ambition being back makes for a cool story; who knows if Ambition also grabbed some of the Dor, too. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chromium Compounder Posted March 15, 2019 Report Share Posted March 15, 2019 I doubt it, but it is an interesting idea. I agree that Autonomy is the most likely, but it would be interesting if it was from a Splinter of something else instead of a fully intact Shard.
