Naah

I meant

like

Voting for my own would be redundant, bc if everyone voted for their own, it would just be a stalemate.

 

My Shard is Verity, yes. (As well as Madness, but that idea was a bit less… I dunno.)

5 way tie already. Surprising.

[Hoid Slayer He/Him]

Maybe we should each get like two guesses?

We could always just try to integrate all the Shards into a combined world.

You totally should be able to vote for your own.

I didn't propose any shard!

You can’t change it. Just let @bmcclure7 which one you wanted to vote for.

[Argenti he/him]

My ranked list of shard is:

1: Indulgence- though only if not on threnody 

2: Conquest- I enjoy the magic system

3: Corruption- Necromancy god?

4: Verity- an obsession over truth is interesting

5: Order- we have Honor and Dominion already, a perfect order shard seems unnecessary

6: Madness- I killed her already. 

7: Hunger- ???? They're not anywhere on the shard??? @Through The Living Glass WHO DID YOU VOTE FOR????

Hmm… you’re right… would it help if I created a magic system for Order?

Probably, spice it up a bit.

As much as I like my own shard (Conquest) I voted for Corruption as I think that is a super neat intent that you could have a lot of fun with. Maybe you could create some nightwatcher style hags or warlocks as a magic system for that.

I feel we should have a evil, good, and neutral shard so that they can balance each other out and give ourselves more opportunities to make magic systems. Indulgence Corruption and Order seem like they could balance each other out very well or could do Indulgence, Corruption, and Conquest and have a system with the 3 mostly evil shards for more drama.

Okay, here we go

First some backstory: Order’s vessel, Vasor,  was present at the Shattering and was the first - and only - to ever hold the Shard. Basie’s mental health was already falling apart before the Shattering; ascending to a Shard caused him to snap, and he went completely insane not long after. Eventually, the rest of the Shards saw him as a threat and created his prison, where he still resides. The prison is partly psychological; Order could leave whenever he wants, but he doesn’t think there is anything out there.

Now for the magic: Meet sonomancy. Order’s magic system works through manipulation of the Perfect Tones, a collection of sounds, similar to the pure tones of Roshar. A practitioner of sonomancy must play the tones to create an effect; for this reason, sonomancy requires a space where sound can travel. It doesn’t matter how you make the tones, so long as they are pure.

The main users of sonomancy are the Acolytes of Order, a shadowy group that sacrifices their self to serve as servants of Order. They share a sort of hive mind, but can still think a little individually, similar to the steel inquisitors. The Acolytes are Vasor’s eyes and fists in the world, regulating most activity from above. When one undergoes the ritual to become an Acolyte, a shadowy substance seems to grow over them until it envelops their skin completely. Through this substance they are able to play multiple tones at a time and create great effects.

Anyone could practice sonomancy, so long as they have a connection to Order (can be hemallurgically stolen) and a way to play the tones.

I like your idea of balance, although right now, Order is also kind of an evil shard, in that it’s super authoritarian.

Remember that no shards are really good, per say.

Mk sweet... I can see a world where corruption and indulgence sort of fight for followers, but by their intent they kind of accidentally work together.

Yea, that’ll prob happen. I can also see them coming to some sort of shaky alliance.

Yeah. We're moving discussion back to the other thread, yes?
