Hilfandor Posted September 9, 2020 Report Share Posted September 9, 2020 Hello all, Been a fan of Brandon's for several years now, and finally decided to join the community here. I've been a long-time lurker on multiple subreddits. Read almost all of the Cosmere works (behind on White Sands), and love the theories and growing understanding of the universe Brandon created. Studied print media in a previous life, and I work as a lab tech now. Long time RPG player and GM, and have been working on a DnD Surgebinder class. Looking forward to chatting with ya 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hilfandor Posted September 9, 2020 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2020 Just now, I Used To Be A Fish said: Hello and Welcome to the Shard! Who's your favorite Sanderson character? Kaladin. I can relate to his struggles all too well. After that, probably Renarin and Sazed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koloss17 Posted September 9, 2020 Report Share Posted September 9, 2020 Which two shards would you want to merge into a new shard, and who would you want to be the vessel? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is a tough one. Endowment mixed with Autonomy would be fascinating. Carried by Jasnah, the Shard of Awareness would become the source of Free will. Endowment is about gifting ability to others, and Autonomy wants to remain unique, the two combine would make to instill personal freedoms free from the influence of others. Like how Harmony could potentially become Discord if the opposing shards in Sazed are not directed properly, Awareness could become Anarchy if not constrained by Jasnah's internal need for stability. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Read almost all of the Cosmere books at least once. Didn't quite absorb all of the Arcanum Unbound info, and I've only read the first White Sands comic. Read SA 1-3, Mistborn eras 1 and 2, Elantris, and Warbreaker two or three times each. Read all of the novellas at least once as well. (Don't remember Shadows of Silence very well) I've also read Reckoners, Rithmatist, Skyward series, Legion, and Perfect State. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd want to do a combination of exploring unknown worlds, meeting new people on different planets and working with/learning from them. Or, battle through crazy monsters on other planets with crazy steam tech. As a pastime, play with the machines of the worlds similar to Navani and the artifabrians. I would know/understand it to an extent, but I'd be a layman creator instead of a true engineer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
