Stonerward Posted January 10, 2023 Posted January 10, 2023 So now we've had our first in book appearance of a Dragon in TotES and learned that various parts, horns, teeth etc are made of actual Dragonsteel do we think that if we ever see Cultivation in her Dragon form that her horns & teeth would appear as Dragonsteel or would they be made of her god metal (Koravalliumium??)? I'm not sure if we'd be able to tell unless we ever see her god metal but I think it would be a cool touch if we were to ever see her in Dragon form. 1

Cultivation's vessel's name is Koravellium Avast, which sounds like a god metal already, since god metal are named by adding -ium onto a god's vessel's name. I wonder if Cultivation's god metal would be named something else. Avastium sounds strange and is too similar to Honor's god metal's name (Tanavastium?), and Koravellium also goes by Koravari, so maybe Koravarium? 2

The Sibling she/her Posted February 10, 2023 Posted February 10, 2023 It should probably just be called Koravellium. Might be a bit confusing but i feel like that makes the most sense.
gremlin303 Posted February 10, 2023 Posted February 10, 2023 God metals don’t have to be named after the shard bearer, Harmonium for example. Trellium as well, although it is referred to in passing as Bavadinium, it’s primarily referred to as Trellium
Aismeen Posted February 14, 2023 Posted February 14, 2023 According to Brandon, Sazed called his god metal Harmonium because he didn’t like the sound of Sazedium

Which would also make it an inappropriate root for her God Metal. Maybe try and find some other mineral suffix, like Koravellite. Or Koravellon. I suppose I need more knowledge on how minerals etymology works. Edited March 2, 2023 by Elder

If Dragonsteel is the material that hard elements of dragons are made of, I doubt it's a godmetal (Adonalsium's would be the only god metal pre-Shattering, obviously). I doubt if Kora were to appear as her dragon form that her hard material would be made up of anything other than Dragonsteel. She could, of course. She's a Shard and it's her godmetal. But unless she wants her horn(s) to be her godmetal, it'll just be Dragonsteel.
