Scriptorian Posted September 12, 2013 Report Share Posted September 12, 2013 So, I'm new to the 17th Shard, but I've been a huge Sanderson fan for a couple years now. I was completely blown away when I first learned of the Cosmere, Hoid, and the spooky connections in all of his books. (Hoid was my favorite character even before I knew he was everywhere.) Anyway, when I got Cosmere-savey, I thought to myself, If I had a Shard, what would its intent be? After some deliberation, it struck me (in a rather serendipitous fashion) that Serendipity should totally be one of the Shards (hence my username). I'm thinking a person would gain access to this Shard's magic system essentially by complete luck. I picture the shardholder interpreting the intent to mean "doing as much good in the most bizarre and unexpected way possible". Thus, he/she gives random people magical abilities to allow them to help others, and also to test them with responsibility. Think Hoid with a Shard. Please reply to either call me an idiot, or acknowledge my genius! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scriptorian Posted September 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2013 Another thought, Serendipity could be the 17th shard! Bu-dum-bum... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Argent Posted October 9, 2013 Report Share Posted October 9, 2013 I am here just to say I like your avatar and signature banner. Kind of makes me want to go back to the days when I used to spent hours making myself a matching combination of avatar/banner for each forum I registered for...

Scriptorian Posted October 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2013 (edited) Thanks Argent! Edit: I wonder how many people actually get what my avatar is of. I know this a site for people who catch obscure connections, but... P.S. (It's the Allomantic and Feruchemical symbols for Electrum. I'm a nerdy Twinborn!)
