Ok I think that’s it so im calling an end to the vote Indulgence and corruption you are the winners 

Worth noting that @Lopens Tenth Cousin picked their own by mistake, while others did not. 
Lopens, who would you have picked next?

Depends apparently Lopens tenth cousin what’s to change there vote

[Hoid Slayer He/Him]

@Lopens Tenth Cousin are you thinking of changing your vote?

[Lopens Tenth Cousin he/him]

Whoops! Sorry! I would've picked Verity tbh

So I guess corruption and Verity win, and not Indulgence

Pity, I liked Indulgence. 

This will be an interesting polarization.

Since I have already declared indulgence as a winer and give it was only one vote off will simply have 3 shards

Any potential for a 4th Shard *looks hopefully with puppy eyes*

Seriously though, @Lopens Tenth Cousin already said the system had five planets, and some of these aren’t even full Shards. Why do we need to limit ourselves?

So what does this mean for the already established worldbuilding?

I could see Verity being self-isolationist - then sort of, entering the system they’ve defined.

Well pretty much every other one was one off, and I feel like I accidentally cheated the system... I don't want to cause problems.

I think we'd be fine making different RPs based on our shards, but I feel like if all of us did one we might clutter the RP a little much... maybe? (this is actually my first RP on the forum)

4 shards is alot- that means some 16 magic systems, roshar is already rare for having 3.

It probably would.

I think

perhaps

that the inclusion of Verity could be a device of plot rather than worldbuilding - I’ll take my ideas over to the other thread.

But I don’t think it would be too disruptive.

I get why we shouldn’t over clutter the RP… but why 16 magic systems? Not all the shards have to interact amongst each other that much.

It's just how we've seen it work- at least with any shards that together for a while, a magic system forms between them. Feruchemy, the knights radiant, Voidbinding, each suggest that even if they're mostly unaccessible, they do exist.

I think all of these shards have the potential to be cool but we should definitely keep it to 3. If we are going to include a shard its going to have to have a big impact and if we have more then 3 we are going to be diluting their impact. 16 magic systems definitely is not a given. That only comes from shards naturally worker together and getting along. Voidbinding isn't directly related to Surgebinding/KR they are just both derived from Microkinesis (At least I think you can correct me if I'm wrong). 3 is enough but I do really like Order's magic system and we can have that separate from it's shard if you want . Also the more shards we have the more complicated it becomes to explain why they are not killing each other. I think we can now move forward to fleshing out other parts of the world now that we have decided on shards.

Okay, that makes a lot of sense
