natc Posted March 22, 2016 Report Share Posted March 22, 2016 (edited) Spoilers bro. Just to be safe. But the time Vin spent holding Preservation might count towards "lawful". If Preservation is defining natural laws (because that power is what gave man sentience and a penchant for honor to begin with), and she sort of is Preservation for a time, then she can be considered the most lawful of all. If you can grasp what I'm trying to say. It makes sense in my head, at least. Preservation has nothing to do with law and order. If left to its own devices without Ruin it would try to turn Scadrial into a snow globe museum exhibit where nothing changes ever. It's no less harmful to society than Ruin was. It's Preservation, not Honor, we're talking about here. It provided enough investiture for sentience and allomancy, the rest was all on them.If anything ignoring one's own intent to Preserve all creation to straight up go and slay gods is as unlawful as they come.

Brightness Enna she/her Posted March 22, 2016 Report Share Posted March 22, 2016 Spoilers bro. Just to be safe. Woops, thanks. Guess I'll go change that. You make a good point. Preservation isn't Honor. I guess I got caught up in how Preservation is the "good" force and Ruin is the "bad", mostly ignoring intent. I can almost see why Vin was considered Lawful Good, but at the same time, someone else may have made more sense. Dalinar, maybe? Kaladin, kinda? Maybe Sarene or Raoden could count, too. Still, I pretty much wholeheartedly agree with the rest of the chart. (I can't decide - is chaotic evil Stormfather or Odium? Because Stormfather doesn't make much sense to me.) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormgate he/him Posted March 22, 2016 Report Share Posted March 22, 2016 It's Odium. I think. It's the best picture that popped up when I searched for Odium. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Sovereign he/him Posted March 22, 2016 Report Share Posted March 22, 2016 Cosmere alignment chart image.png Well done sir. Now to pick nits... I'd argue that any Vessel needs to be Lawfully aligned as they are all bound by the laws of their intent. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd argue that any Vessel needs to be Lawfully aligned as they are all bound by the laws of their intent.While that's true, some Intents are chaotic and disorderly by nature.Also, the Shards have some volition. Odium doesn't have to go around destroying Shards, he just does. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Citadel16 he/him Posted March 22, 2016 Report Share Posted March 22, 2016 actually there is a WoB that says that if honor and odium had been held by different people then they would have attracted each other. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shardholders are strictly following rules which make them disorderly... or something... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormgate he/him Posted March 23, 2016 Report Share Posted March 23, 2016 As far as they are concerned, they are following the rules of their natures. However, this occasionally leads to their resident Shardworld experiencing increased entropy as a result of their actions. You can argue that, as far as they are concerned, the Shards break no laws. But that's not how justice works. If you follow laws that only apply to you, you're not truly following the laws. Also, Szeth was bound by the laws governing Truthless. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sunbird she/her Posted April 1, 2016 Report Share Posted April 1, 2016 What goes through my head whenever I see this misspelling... You'd think Sharders, of all people, would take the time to spell it right. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
natc Posted April 1, 2016 Report Share Posted April 1, 2016 Unfortunately some of us (not me) are in the audiobook crowd and might not actually have seen the names written before coming here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunbird she/her Posted April 1, 2016 Report Share Posted April 1, 2016 Unfortunately some of us (not me) are in the audiobook crowd and might not actually have seen the names written before coming here. I don't even recall ever seeing the name of the planet written down in the Mistborn books, so this might be moot point. For me, at least, the first time I was ever aware that the Mistborn world was named Scadrial was when I went to one of Brandon's signings and he was answering questions from fans. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DreamEternal Posted April 1, 2016 Report Share Posted April 1, 2016 Scadrial isn't the only one . . . Exactly, but it is one. Everyone knows the right spelling is Sebarial. What? Did you think planetary princedoms won't be a thing after Alethkar discovers the Alcubierre Lashing? 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
