Fallen_Jedi09 Posted September 26, 2022 Report Share Posted September 26, 2022 Hello, I was reading the new Mistborn: Secret History copy and noticed some allomantic symbols I did not recognize. Does anyone know what they are? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quantus he/him Posted September 26, 2022 Report Share Posted September 26, 2022 I dont think we know yet. They arent in the Coppermind listing yet at least. The one on the left is fundamentally different than all the rest with the extra-spiky bits, which makes me think it's entirely foreign and thus is Trellium. Though the same can be said about the one on the right since it's the only example with multiple dots, so who knows. https://coppermind.net/wiki/Steel_alphabet 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Little_Dagger she/her Posted September 26, 2022 Report Share Posted September 26, 2022 I think at this point in the Cosmere, it could be any of the godmetals. For example, in the secret history, Kelsier gets a glimpse of Sel and Ire technology. I would not be surprised if those symbols referred to Dominion and Devotion metals for that reason 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one on the right looks almsot identical to Aon Ire: https://coppermind.net/wiki/Aon#Ire 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bookwyrm he/him Posted September 26, 2022 Report Share Posted September 26, 2022 The second one is definitely a version of Aon Ire stylized after the Steel Alphabet, and considering the group Kelsier meets is called the Ire and the part of the story is titled "Ire", I'm guessing they just did this for aesthetic purposes. The first one is the symbol for Kredik Shaw, I'm pretty sure. These are just symbols in the Steel Alphabet, and don't represent any new metals. I don't think that Brandon Sanderson is going to break the rule of sixteen by adding any more, except for God Metals and their alloys, which are a special case. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesnt have to be actual new mundane metals, the steel alphabet has always had more symbols than just the actual metals, including at least 5 whose meanings are unrevealed (and 4 of which Im guessing correspond to the Dawnshards, but that's probably off-topic). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odiumiumium he/him Posted September 27, 2022 Report Share Posted September 27, 2022 On the Coppermind page for Ire, it says that the symbol on the left is the steel alphabet-style symbol for Ire. As for the other one, I have no clue. It could be Trellium, or Kredik Shaw. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fallen_Jedi09 Posted October 2, 2022 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2022 The spiky one is in fact the lord ruler’s symbol or the symbol for Kredik Shaw. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firesong she/her Posted November 3, 2022 Report Share Posted November 3, 2022 As an answer, left is just Kredik Shaw, you can see it on maps and the official coins. Right is a Steel Alphabet version of the Aon Ire, due to the Selish Ire showing up in the Part. It isn't anything particularly deep or complex. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
