Actually, wait, Roshar is cool as well. I can't choose!!

We could make an Autonomy/Honor Scadrial and then check out Roshar after Scadrial’s been established

What if we found a really cool rock and terraformed it instead of making it from scratch?

That still significantly Invests it. You can create an Avatar though. I'm not going to stop non-Autonomy Shards from doing that too.

Ah ok 

What do we think eating Autonomonium and Honorium would do?

Like the God Metals

We'll... figure that out.

It's Gadronium and Tarshonium. Maybe.

Atium and Lerasium are just the Vessel’s full names so would it be Gadrisium and Tarshinium?

Tarsheamonium? Because it's Tarsh-Eamon.

But we don't know what Cultivation's (Koravallium's) metal is called so longer names may be different.

What kind of spren is Oathbringer, the Shardblade?

Brandon Sanderson

Oathbringer is not technically a spren. Why I call these things the Honorblades, kind of where the whole Shardblade concept fits in, is that these are literally pieces of Honor's soul that he Splintered off and formed weapons out of for the Heralds. These didn't actually have sentience, in the same way that the spren forming most of the Shardblades are. They're literally a piece of the god who ruled this world turned into weapons. And the spren, who are also pieces of the same divinity, saw what was happening, and this kind of became a model by which Shardblades came about.

So Oathbringer doesn't have a spren. If you wanted to call it something, call it a sliver of Honor that has been manifested in physical form. That does mean the blade would actually be made of Tanavast's god metal, so tanavastium, if you want to call it that.

Brandon Sanderson

Yeah, that's just me hearing what I wanted to hear, not what was actually asked. It happens more often than I'd like; I get into this groove of answering questions, and start answering what I'm thinking about rather than what actually gets asked. A lot of times, I'm expecting a question (often because it's one that gets asked a lot, like what are Shardblades made out of) and my brain defaults to the answer I've prepared. I think it might be because I've trained myself to answer questions while doing other things.

Oathbringer's not an Honorblade. It was a Stoneward's blade a long time ago, with the corresponding spren.

That was… supposed to send like a link not… oops

Anyways Tanavast is a fairly long name and we know it’s Tanavastium

I bet autonomy could leave. Honor is most definitely stuck.

Why? Scadrial would be too Invested for Autonomy to leave.

The intent, mostly. All the shards have their own special powers, and the ability to un-invest very easily seems on brand.

I don't get why it would be Autonomy though.

Bavadin never left Taldain as far as I know. Of course, it could be a matter of Taldain being the planet she wants to progress and she is content to leave her Avatars to deal with other worlds.

Well... Autonomy loves seperation. Stands to reason it wants to be autonomous to the bound of its own system.

I'll have to think about it. 

If this is the case though, then Autonomy cannot do much to the planet unless he (Gadris) Invests it.

Seems fair.

My interpretation of this would be that, generally, Intent cannot overpower general Investiture mechanics. Like, if an Autonomy made a Scadrial equivalent, a significant amount of their Investiture is going to be tied to the planet.

Perhaps one could argue that their Intent would let Autonomy more easily escape such bindings, as the power would more readily perform such a task, but it wouldn’t make their Investiture immune to binding, inherently, I’d think. It’s still Investiture, the only thing changed about it is what it likes to do, by my reckoning.

To clarify, it’s not that Intent should not play a large role in a Shard’s capabilities, but it would be more a consequence of… inherent skill? talent? on the Shard’s part.

Like, I think Autonomy would be very resistant to being bound to a planet, because their Intent would resist it greatly and inherently. It would not grant its Investiture inherent properties (theoretically) not possible to achieve by other Shards. (Or, how Ruin would be incapable of creation on their own, but it’s not that their Investiture is unable to, but the Intent attached to their Investiture refuses to do so, to appear as if Ruin is incapable of it.)

Though, this interpretation is probably taking too many liberties.

I'll make Scadrial with you, so long as I can figure out a way to go to Roshar as well. (I don't mean to Invest Roshar as well as Scadrial though)

Eamonium would be my choice

In my character description it says his nickname is Eamon

Sounds good

He said we could make Avatars so you could probably make one and send it to Roshar
