After a re-read of Sixth of the Dusk (and thinking about the recent reading of the sequel to SofD), I came to a bit of a theory. Well, perhaps more of a hunch. With Dusk seemingly striking out to find allies against the Ones Above and the other ones who were also from above, it had me thinking.

Could perhaps the avatars of Autonomy be preparing their planets to become a quasi-federation to maintain their independence? Instead of being a cosmere big bad, Autonomy is working to prevent the spread of colonialism from (probably) Scadrial and Roshar. Non-shard worlds joined in mutual defense.

Now, admittedly, this may not fit with the theory that Trell is an avatar of Autonomy. 

What do you guys think? Am I just nuts?

there is a theory that autonomy is trying to keep shardworlds to themselves, and that tell is meant to stop travel through shadesmar. Same for the white sands planet.

Interesting theory. Can you provide any link to the discussion thread? 
@Criggleworth welcome to the shard! I like the idea.

We know Autonomy has definitely blocked travel to Taldain. I think my theory is different in regards to motivation. Instead of trying to keep all worlds to themselves, Autonomy is trying to allow them to develop without being exploited. Basically, more altruistic and less conquest.

That was the theory's motiv for here. For worlds to develop on her own.
