16 shards

[LeondeBowa]

I saw a thread here talking about the 4 dawnshards being used to divide adonolsium into the shards and the influence of the four dawnshards causing the various intents of the shards.

The idea the intents only came from the dawnshards didn't seem right to me and I noticed in W&T honour referred to the "4 aspects of adonolsium" as a holy number.

Could the intents of the shards be based on a combination of the dawnshards and adonolaiums 4 aspects?

It's possible - especially since we do not yet have the full "story" yet. Most Shard/Dawnshard theories are (at least partially) based on this section of the Dawnshard novella:

Ch 16:

Quote

That mural . . . it was circular and—inlaid with golden foil—it seemed to glow with its own light. The writing on parts of it was unfamiliar to Rysn; she hadn’t seen the script during any of her travels. It wasn’t even the Dawnchant.

The peculiar letters were art themselves, curling around the outside of the exploding sun—which was divided into mostly symmetrical pieces. Four of them, each in turn broken into four smaller sections.

Her spear slipped from her fingers and clattered to the floor. She swore she could feel the heat of that sun, burning, washing over her. It was not angry, though she knew it was being ripped apart like a person on some awful torture device.

She felt something emanating from it. Resignation? Confidence? Understanding?

 

Hope that helps
