Newan he/him Posted January 15, 2015 Posted January 15, 2015 Does everyone who holds a shard put their name into their world somewhere? Scadrial Ati-Atium Leras-Lerasium Nalthis Edgli (maybe)-Tears of Edgli Sel Aona-AonDor Skai-Skaze Braize Rayse-Braize Roshar Tanavast-unknown unknown-unknown Can anybody think of any other examples of this? Also, why isn't harmonium called sazedium? Is Sazed too humble for that, or have the people of the Southern Continent been using it before he ascended? 3
Jo and the Bush all/any Posted January 15, 2015 Posted January 15, 2015 My personal theory is their name is related to their planet's focus. I'm betting on Cultivation being named something close to Nahel. 2
vineyarddawg Posted January 15, 2015 Posted January 15, 2015 I think there's no such thing as harmonium because ruin and preservation still exist as two separate shards in Sazed's control. It's Sazed who perceives them as "Harmony." Also, since we know Preservation's investiture is partially consumed by the humans on the planet (just by the fact that they exist), it means that Ruin still has the upper hand unless Sazed does something to "burn off" the extra Ruin. In fact, there's a WoB on this where Sanderson teases that point a little bit: RAGSHow is Harmony balanced when a part of Preservation's power is expended on human sentience? Isn't that what caused all the trouble to begin with? BRANDON SANDERSONIndeed. Hm... What could Sazed be doing with that extra power... Some people have theorized that the Pits of Eltania, where it's said that the Koloss have discovered some "previously unknown metals" could be a place where Sazed has regrown a stock of Atium. 2
WeiryWriter he/him Posted January 15, 2015 Posted January 15, 2015 I think there's no such thing as harmonium Ahem. 2
vineyarddawg Posted January 15, 2015 Posted January 15, 2015 Ahem. Well, poop. All these WoB's are starting to make me go cross-eyed.
