Fallen Rope Posted February 21, 2016 Report Share Posted February 21, 2016 So we learned from hoid that the well and the pits were the only perpendicularities on the planet, so given that pits were destoryed, and the well probably isn't working anymore, what are worldhoppers going through now? The regrown pits? Harmony's shard pool? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VladJunior Posted February 22, 2016 Report Share Posted February 22, 2016 Wouldn't the Elantrian's have used a perpendicularity located in the ocean? That part of the cognitive realm with the fortress seemed like it may have been located on a perpendicularity. Or was it just someplace to hide while on the planet? We don't know much about the oceans on Scadrial. Maybe they are special. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teegs Posted February 22, 2016 Report Share Posted February 22, 2016 At the Seattle signing, someone asked about perpedicularities. We got a big RAFO on that one. FYI. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't know much about the oceans on Scadrial. Maybe they are special. I was under the impression that the Ire's fortress is located in the Cognitive Realm between worlds, and that it is very much a man-made structure, with cords going back to Sel (presumably) and powering it somehow. So not a Perpendicularity. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jazzy Kandra Posted February 22, 2016 Report Share Posted February 22, 2016 (edited) I think that it could be possible that there are in fact three now, reflecting Harmony, Ruin, and Preservation. Harmony is both two Shards and one Shard, and perhaps even three Shards (if you count stuff weird..., like by Intents instead of the actual number of Shards, hahaha).Anyway, I think that Harmony's pool (or Preservation's, doesn't matter), is the weird pool in that the masked-individual was spotted at in the mountains east of New Seran. Like, they are snow-covered mountains (like Sazed's homeland, it's authentic!), and oddly, the Sovereign's spearhead and crap is located near them. This could've been just the "test", but that just seems like it would actually be a really convenient location if Harmony' perpendicularity is nearby. (Snark: And now Harmony's servants have Kell's bands. I'm sure Kell will be completely "happy" with that...he can't just pick them up and mess things up worse, somehow, probably a good thing).

Yeah, the pool mentioned in the SoS broadsheet is almost definitely Harmony's shardpool. And the masked figure there...let's be honest. Probably Iyatil. Unless there are other worldhopping SoScadrians out there. I still don't think the Pits work as a perpendicularity, since there's no atium growing there anymore. In fact, I think Sazed would have to make a conscious effort to produce actual atium (maybe to keep Marsh going?). Either way, the Well definitely doesn't exist anymore, since the shardpool in the mountains exists (unless you want to count that as a new "Well of Ascension"). There's just no reason for there to be more than one perpendicularity for Harmony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skaa pirate Posted February 23, 2016 Report Share Posted February 23, 2016 I agree that the shard pool is the one in the mountains. But I don't think it's a new pool. The Lord Ruler moved the well of ascension from its original location when he ascended, so I'm thinking Harmony did the same. He moved the well to a new location, as close as he could get to where it was probably located originally. The shard pool is easier to access now, and without it being a prison for Ruin, I'm sure traffic via that perpendicularity has grown over the years. It's safe to use with Ruin gone. It is probably just like the other shard pools now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
natc Posted February 23, 2016 Report Share Posted February 23, 2016 The Well was white though, and Ruin's Perpendicularity black. The Well is also tied to the magnetic poles. I believe the lool we are discussing is blue? Not sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skaa pirate Posted February 24, 2016 Report Share Posted February 24, 2016 I guess I always just thought the well wasn't blue like other shard pools because it was saturated with preservation's power keeping ruin locked in. Now that Harmony has balanced the shards, maybe the pool returned and is blue now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Landis963 Posted February 24, 2016 Report Share Posted February 24, 2016 I guess I always just thought the well wasn't blue like other shard pools because it was saturated with preservation's power keeping ruin locked in. Now that Harmony has balanced the shards, maybe the pool returned and is blue now. Maybe it's perfectly reflective? Preservation's shardpool was pure white, Ruin's was pure black, merging the two would make it pure grey, and metal mirrors are silver? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PallonianFire Posted February 24, 2016 Report Share Posted February 24, 2016 blue like other shard pools I don't think all shardpools are automatically blue. I'm pretty sure Cultivation's is green, when it's mentioned in WoR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Preservation's shardpool was pure white, Ruin's was pure black, merging the two would make it pure grey, and metal mirrors are silver? Yeah IIRC it was a silver pool, one of the reasons I was sure it was Harmonys was for this reason black+white = grey, metallic grey is silver. EDIT: Nope, it is indeed blue, at the time I also speculated that it was reflecting the sky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh yes, you're right. I went back and checked and the Horneater lakes are emerald. Thanks for catching my mistake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
