Terrisman Posted April 17, 2025 Posted April 17, 2025 We see that there are numbers associated with each Shard. Honor calls 10 ”his” number, 9 seems to be Odiums number, 16 is preservation, 13 was Virtuosity’s number. https://wob.coppermind.net/events/493/#e15498 how many of the rest of them can we figure out, and how do you think this fits into the potential groups of four?

Not many. 5 seems to be of Endowment as it's everywhere in Warbreaker, 7 might be associated with Autonomy, but we have next to nothing on the rest of the Shards. I also think 3 is of Cultivation as there were 3 people touched directly by her and this number appears a lot in the SA, but that's a stretch. 1

It’s been a while since I read it

Terrisman Posted April 18, 2025 Author Posted April 18, 2025 Could be preservation is 4 https://wob.coppermind.net/events/432/#e14017

There’s 4 Dawnshards and it sounds like there were originally 4 Shards post Shattering before each was split into another four making sixteen. (Although it’s a bit dodgy the wording in Dawnshard is weird)

Brandon has said that some Shards are not associated with any number. https://wob.coppermind.net/events/47/#e677 Spoiler The Only Joe (paraphrased) Do all shards have a number they're associated with? Brandon Sanderson (paraphrased) Some do, (most/some) don't. Firefight Portland signing (Jan. 16, 2015)
