Narcoleptic Axolotl Posted January 13, 2021 Report Share Posted January 13, 2021 So. I was going through the "Hero of Ages" prophecy and I found the line, "That which has been sundered must again begin to find its whole." (here's a link: https://coppermind.net/wiki/Terris_Prophecies#Prophecy_quotes) Now, supposedly the prophecy is only referring to Sazed, but let's think about it for a bit. "That which has been sundered . . ." (by the way, sundered is a synonym for split.) Well, Harmony wasn't sundered. Adonalsium was sundered. So presumably, this line should be referring to Adonalsium. Which means that "[Adonalsium] must again begin to find its whole." Whole??? Yeah, we saw Ruin and Preservation combine into Harmony. But Harmony isn't whole. Harmony is 1/8th of whole. 12.5%. Therefore, I predict that all the shards of Adonalsium will eventually be collected and fused back together. Seems like a cool way to end the story of the cosmere. I went through the other lines from the prophecy, but those all talk about the Hero directly, and most of them do sound like they refer to Sazed. Although, wouldn't this be fun, what if Sazed isn't the Hero of Ages? He just fits the prophecy well enough that nobody's looking for the Hero anymore. They think it's him, Harmony. When really, it's somebody we haven't been introduced to yet so we can't compare them against the prophecy. I don't know. For now, I'll assume that Sazed is the Hero of Ages, but I am confident that Adonalsium will eventually become Adonalsium again. I mean, Odium already did a good portion of the work. How many shards has he splintered so far? It's at least, like, five. Somebody just needs to go collect the splinters. If Sazed did that, maybe his Intent would change enough to let him be more useful. Anyway, that's all I got. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since I think part of Kelsier’s era 3 plan involves conning multiple Shards so Harmony can acquire enough others to act... this fits quite nicely. To add: I am very much of the opinion that the ending of Era four Mistborn is hidden in Era 1.

StanLemon Posted January 14, 2021 Report Share Posted January 14, 2021 Personally I don't believe Preservation planned past Sazed, but if you account for the possibility that Ruin changed a few things well... *puts on tinfoil hat* Spoiler Other than the specific Terris references, a case that Dalinar could fit them 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Halyo_Alex Posted January 14, 2021 Report Share Posted January 14, 2021 One of my minor crackpot hypotheses is that Adonalsium itself will not be reformed as we understand it to have been formed before the Shattering. I believe it may be that the Shards will be recombined into two, maybe 4 "gods" that have a specific mix of the 16 Shards split between them to balance them in particular ways. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you know what role he'll be playing in the future books? Brandon Sanderson When I wrote it? When I actually wrote Mistborn, no, by the time I’d done revisions and finished the series, then I knew. Mistborn was very exploratory, the first book, once I finished it then I build the outline to fit it, that’s very common for me that I write a first book without an outline and then I build the outline around it. Questioner Will Nalt, brother of Trell <inaudible> Brandon Sanderson The brother? So there’s something very weird happening with Trell, very very weird, that I’m not going to explain quite yet, so that’s a RAFO. Brandon has foreshadowed Era 3 in Mistborn Era 1... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
