The_Milkgod Posted February 5, 2023 Posted February 5, 2023 (edited) Kinda confuses me cause on Spoiler Scadrial we know the shards there created humanity on that planet so did Honor and Cultivation create the Dawnsingers or did they naturally develop? I tried looking it up but couldn’t find a thread that even asked that. Do we even know? Edited February 5, 2023 by The_Milkgod Spoiler
lacrossedeamon Posted February 5, 2023 Posted February 5, 2023 It's implied they existed before the Shattering or at least naturally developed from stuff put in place before the Shattering I believe. 1

Interesting. Is that stated in any of the books (been a minute since I read them) or Dawnshard?

Frost's letter to Hoid Quote The worlds you now tread bear the touch and design of Adonalsium. It does require some speculation on what exactly that means. I think Zahel's conversation with Kaladin in RoW also states or at least implies Roshar being one of the older planets in the cosmere. 1

The Bookwyrm he/him Posted February 5, 2023 Posted February 5, 2023 We know that Adonalsium created the Rosharan system before the shattering, and thus all life on it, though the planet and system have become heavily influenced by Honor, Cultivation, and Odium by the present time. So it would make sense that the Dawnsingers developed on Roshar in the same way humans developed on Yolen. Scadrial is a special case because it was created directly by Ruin and Preservation, and was based physically and biologically on Yolen. 1

From the Coppermind and WoB: Spoiler Quote On Roshar, Honor and Cultivation became the gods of the singers, a native Rosharan species. Quote Lance Alvein Did Cultivation come to Roshar with Honor, or was she already on Roshar when Honor arrived? Brandon Sanderson Good question. They came together. Quote (I don’t know if that should be marked as a spoiler) It should. Easiest way to remember for long-established books is in a Subforum - all unrelated items are tagged (this is Stormlight Archive, so any reference off-Roshar gets a tag). 1
