Cocoa he/him Posted December 9, 2024 Posted December 9, 2024 Has anyone figured out what was going on with the fiery color of the Unoathed armor? My gut feeling is that they were somehow tapping into the power of a Shard we haven't seen yet (most likely Valor, just based on the ambient sentiment of the moment and the vibes of soldiers keeping their promises to aid and protect even after death). The only one of the Rosharan Shards who you could stretch that description to fit is Oduim, but that both feels wrong for multiple reasons and that shade of his investiture is almost always specifically described as "red-gold." The only other explanation I can think of it that it has something to do with how shardplate shatters into molten metal when it breaks, but again, that just doesn't feel right to me.
Mack Posted December 9, 2024 Posted December 9, 2024 Personally I'm leaning away from the influence of another Shard angle. Perhaps since plate spren being a collection of the spren created by Adonalsium they are drawing on raw investiture instead of it being keyed to a specific Shard. Alternatively, if all plate spren since the founding of the Knights Radiant are considered "of Honor" perhaps this is one of the signs that Honor, the Shard, is starting to change and grow beyond the strictest of bonds and oaths.
