The merging of shards

[juggbigt]

I see a lot of people accepting the shard War comin into being. I've seen some guess that maybe Odium and Honor will create Justice instead. The more I think on it, the more I think that since Autonomy represents fascism, the "allied forces" would need a check for War to make sure that he doesn't just keep ... um ... war'ing. Would Harmony merging with War create Justice? I mean, wouldn't Wax be the perfect vessel for that?

Nah, trying to add War to the conflicted mess that Sazed holds would most likely push him over the edge into Discord, rather than bringing any additional sense of balance to him.

War is a form of self-fulfilling justice between societies in some sense...it's important to remember that shards are not legitimately immortal, they're just cosmically unmeasurable and difficult to kill.

War+Harmony would be like the spiritual marriage of a naval weapons expert of godlike genius and the universe's greatest composer. So...uh...maybe Catastrophe, Cataclysm, or Doom? I could also accept Nocturne or Requiem though since, strictly speaking, War would be dead for the new Shard to be present.

Edit: for the love of God please! Autonomy is not an act of fascism!
