RawToast225 he/him Posted December 16, 2014 Posted December 16, 2014 (edited) If you could pair up any two shards together, what would be the outcome? For example, Ruin and Odium would be the single most destructive force all of the universes have ever seen. It would probably be called Destruction, too.

sanderfan she/her Posted December 16, 2014 Posted December 16, 2014 (edited) I imagine if you combined Honor and Odium you might get something along the lines of Revenge. And I imagine you could alter Preservation in a way that instead it becomes Survival. A dash of Ruin, perhaps, rather than mixing in the entire shard? Now it sounds like I'm coming up with shard recipes... Edit: I just realized I stole Moogle's idea when it comes to combining Honor and Odium. It wasn't on purpose I promise.

Jo and the Bush all/any Posted December 17, 2014 Posted December 17, 2014 Cultivation and Ruin would become Entropy perhaps. Devotion and Dominion would become Nationalism. Honour and Ruin would become Batman. 16
Lindel he/him Posted December 17, 2014 Posted December 17, 2014 Preservation + Endowment = Provision, perhaps? I'm thinking Cultivation + Ruin is more along the lines of Refinement. Get rid of the bad, pruning the tree, etc. Maybe something in relation to the "Harvest". Honor + Devotion = Loyalty? I like Honor + Odium = Revenge/Vengeance! 4
WeiryWriter he/him Posted December 17, 2014 Posted December 17, 2014 Preservation + Dominion = Final Empire 10
hoidhunter he/him Posted December 17, 2014 Posted December 17, 2014 (edited) Dominion + Odium = "Odium Reigns"...but seriously...maybe = Tyranny? By the way...everyone in this thread right now gets an up vote for being awsome Edited December 17, 2014 by hoidhunter 8
Lindel he/him Posted December 17, 2014 Posted December 17, 2014 Endowment + Cultivation = ...Nourishment? I don't think that's quite the word I'm looking for. 1
Lindel he/him Posted December 17, 2014 Posted December 17, 2014 Dominion + Odium = "Odium Reigns"...but seriously...maybe = Tyranny? By the way...everyone in this thread right now gets an up vote for being awsome Ooh, I like that! Honor + Dominion could be... Justice, perhaps? 1
gjustice99 she/her Posted December 17, 2014 Posted December 17, 2014 Devotion + Preservation = Obssession maybe? 2
RawToast225 he/him Posted December 17, 2014 Author Posted December 17, 2014 Devotion + Preservation = Obssession maybe? Maybe Loyalty? 1
Lindel he/him Posted December 17, 2014 Posted December 17, 2014 Yeah, I think Loyalty works for Preservation + Devotion, while Honor + Devotion might be something more like Duty. 2
RawToast225 he/him Posted December 17, 2014 Author Posted December 17, 2014 Odium+Honor+Dominion = Tyranny Maybe. 2
Incheoul Posted December 17, 2014 Posted December 17, 2014 (edited) Honor + Devotion = Reverence Dominion + Ruin = Conquest Endowment + Devotion = Diligence Devotion + Dominion = Lannister Ambition Endowment + Cultivation = Generosity? Edited December 17, 2014 by Incheoul 4
Slater he/him Posted December 17, 2014 Posted December 17, 2014 I wonder what happens if you throw the Shard that just wants to survive into the mix? Like, If you combined that with Ruin would it destory everything in order to protect itself? Maybe go after the other Shards like Odium but driven by fear instead of hate. Or if you combined it with preservation it would try even harder to preserve itself then it already is at the cost of everything else. Like a more selfish Preservation. 2
Slater he/him Posted December 17, 2014 Posted December 17, 2014 Honour and Ruin would become Batman. More like the Punisher....I REALLY doubt the Ruin part would follow a "no killing" rule. 2
Paragrin she/her Posted December 17, 2014 Posted December 17, 2014 Endowment + Odium = Calamity. Seriously, it would lead to Steelheart. 8
gjustice99 she/her Posted December 17, 2014 Posted December 17, 2014 Ruin+Odium=Total Annihilation and Devastation Honor+Devotion=A world without adultery and cheating Honor+Cultivation=Darwinism?
Incheoul Posted December 18, 2014 Posted December 18, 2014 Ruin+Odium=Total Annihilation and Devastation Honor+Devotion=A world without adultery and cheating Honor+Cultivation=Darwinism? I think Darwinism is closer to Cultivation + Preservation
sanderfan she/her Posted December 18, 2014 Posted December 18, 2014 But part of Darwinism is the weak die, right? (I honestly don't remember it's been so long. Don't be afraid to say I'm wrong) So maybe Harmony and Cultivation would be better for a Darwinism shard.
Incheoul Posted December 18, 2014 Posted December 18, 2014 (edited) Darwinism is about natural selection and passing on traits to the next generation to help survive and reproduce. To me, the passing of traits to the next generation seems like Cultivation and the favorable traits being those that help to survive seems like Preservation. Since Harmony is Ruin and Preservation, that could work since I guess there would be killing involved in surviving. Of course there is no right answer. This is merely my opinion. Edited December 18, 2014 by Incheoul 1
sanderfan she/her Posted December 18, 2014 Posted December 18, 2014 Of course. I didn't mean to bash your opinion, I was just presenting my own. I wonder what Odium and Harmony would be. I want to say hating everything equally, but that doesn't sound right.
Jo and the Bush all/any Posted December 18, 2014 Posted December 18, 2014 Endowment + Devotion = Santa. 4
Dawnshard Posted December 18, 2014 Posted December 18, 2014 Ruin + Dominion + Odium = Total Destruction!
