+Oltux72 Posted June 29, 2020 Report Share Posted June 29, 2020 That seems like a gigantic waste. In fact a bomb going of is a waste. If they wanted him dead a bomb with a timer or poison in his food would have done the job. So they needed him to die together with the Faceless Immortal. (Taldain) Spoiler Trell in White Sands predates the fusion of Ruin and Preservation. That makes me wonder whether that is the reason Endowment or Autonomy would strike at Scadrial. That and the exact wording makes it likely that the aim of the operation was twofold, first to silence Edwarn and secondly to turn him into a Cognitive Shadow. Now which world would require a physical presence of an agent for that? (Threnody) Spoiler That really makes me suspect that Trell is a splinter of Ambition and the Set's Faceless Immortals are Deep Ones. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honorless Posted June 29, 2020 Report Share Posted June 29, 2020 Hmm... I mean I kind of want it to be Autonomy at this point after all this hype... Oh are we still considering Endowment? That's the Shard that let Nightblood be created. And it is "let", because: Quote RandyD Can a Shard just smite someone? Like, "Boom, you're dead," and they die? Brandon Sanderson So, Shards can do this, depending on where they are. For instance, Odium can't, but Endowment could. Skyward Seattle signing (Nov. 10, 2018) And then there's her letter Quote You mustn't worry yourself about Rayse. It is a pity about Aona and Skai, but they were foolish--violating our pact from the very beginning. Your skills are admirable, but you are merely a man. You had your chance to be more, and refused it. No good can come of two Shards settling in one location. It was agreed that we would not interfere with one another, and it disappoints me that so few of the Shards have kept to this original agreement. As for Uli Da, it was obvious from the outset that she was going to be a problem. Good riddance. Regardless, this is not your concern. You turned your back on divinity. If Rayse becomes an issue, he will be dealt with. And so will you So she doesn't like two Shards on a single planet, and is willing to "deal" with anyone who becomes "an issue". It would've been fun, but sadly: Quote Questioner The spike at the end of Shadows of Self, does that have anything to do with Endowment. Brandon Sanderson That is not from Endowment, I can go ahead and let you know that. Shadows of Self Portland signing (Oct. 10, 2015) ... unless it is two Shards attacking Scadrial & Harmony, that is 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

datalaughing Posted June 29, 2020 Report Share Posted June 29, 2020 Maybe Ati and Leras hosted Shard board game nights or something back in the early days. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think Autonomy needs a reason to interfere. The second letter in Oathbringer states that there are "many realms" of Autonomy, so I'd guess that it's probably more notable when she didn't interfere. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree they may have done something to him(like turning him into a CS) and that would require the type of stuff that you wound not give to an ordinary human agent. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elsecaller_17.5 Posted June 29, 2020 Report Share Posted June 29, 2020 I'm sure the bomb going off was to send a message. And I very much doubt it killed the faceless one. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
