theSurgeOfPhysics Posted February 4, 2023 Report Share Posted February 4, 2023 (New to the cosmere here). When determining the terms of the contest of champions, Odium says Hoid (Cephandrius) could’ve been a god but chose otherwise. Did 16 mortals kill Adolnasium to become the vessels of the shards we know today? Not specifically humans, but mortals, as Cultivation is a dragon. Then again, if dragons are mortal, why is Frost considered functionally immortal? Is it because he’s just really old? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although in RoW you saw the vessel of Odium change to someone new that is not from the original 16 and Honor died in the past. There are few other shards that are not in the hands of the original vessel (I wont go into details to avoid cosmere spoilers). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alder24 Posted February 4, 2023 Report Share Posted February 4, 2023 16 (or more) people of different species, wielding Dawnshards as a weapon, took part in Shattering or planning of the Shattering of Adonalsium. Some wanted power, some believed it was a necessary action. Tbf we don't know much about it yet. Frost, as a dragon, is immortal, but recently gained some sort of second source of immortality. WoB Spoiler LewsTherinTelescope Why does Hoid in his letter to Frost say, "as you are now essentially immortal"? To our understanding, as a dragon Frost would have always been ageless. Is this understanding incorrect, or is there something else going on with him? Brandon Sanderson There is something else going on with him. That is a good question.

gremlin303 Posted February 18, 2023 Report Share Posted February 18, 2023 How new are you? How many books have you read? If you haven’t read many I’d suggest getting out of the Cosmere discussion area. If you’ve read most of them I’d suggest you spend some time reading the Coppermind to get up to speed on some of the basic aspects of the Cosmere. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honorless he/him Posted February 19, 2023 Report Share Posted February 19, 2023 The novella Dawnshard implies that the Dawnshards - some kind of super hyper ultra Commands of Adonalsium were used to tear Adonalsium into pieces. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
