+Child of Hodor Posted May 9 Report Share Posted May 9 There is only one unnamed Shard and evidence is mounting that it is something along the lines of Wisdom or Prudence or a similar concept. https://wob.coppermind.net/events/535/#e16590 The Shards we've encountered in the books get a flowery description of their intent "it was a perfect musical note held forever" "it was the most intimate embrace of lovers" etc. That got me thinking how Prudence / Wisdom might be a little lame in a funny way and that it would be fun to riff on what the unmet shards like Whimsy's flowery descriptions are. Prudence: I am the knowledge gleaned from the mistakes of others, I am the meditating hermit on the mountain top, I am looking both ways before crossing the street, I am waiting an hour after eating before getting in the pool! Whimsy: I am commitment to the bit ... until I don't feel like it anymore, I am every shout of "YOLO" ever uttered, I am the sock that catches the wind, I am the flower that waters you, I am so EXTRA!! Invention: I am the curiosity of every scholar, I am the urge to tinker just a little more, I am boredom with the same old thing, I am always in the garage working you know this is my "me" time how am I supposed to get any work done with these constant interruptions I am on the verge a breakthrough here I can feel it. No that's not a colander on my head it's a special device!!! Btw in my head these are all read by Don Pardo the longtime SNL opening credits guy https://youtu.be/_6YXwShVi04?si=m7-GEQeFD2PeiEnf 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Child of Hodor Posted May 12 Author Report Share Posted May 12 (edited) 16 hours ago, bmcclure7 said: Prudence is not a shard That’s why I said “along the lines of” it’s a synonym of Wisdom which the WoB I linked to said is thiiiiiis close to the last shard name. Also this WoB says Prudence sounds an awful lot like a Shard. https://wob.coppermind.net/events/398/#e13231 Edited May 12 by Child of Hodor 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
