Farnsworth Posted March 9, 2016 Posted March 9, 2016 From what we've seen, the Dor on Elantris is very unified. The Seons are mostly Devotion, and the Skaze is mostly Dominion, but the Aons, the Dakhor monks, and Forging use the Dor as a whole. Is it possible that the Devotion and Dominion are bonded like Preservation and Ruin? Hemalurgy is mostly Ruin, and Allomancy is mostly Preservation, kind of like the Skaze an the Seons. It's a very similar situation. Could this have something to do with the Ire?

Well they've both been Splintered, it's just their raw power that powers Aons, etc. Much like Ruin could power Allomancy if he wanted the power of Dominion could power Aons even if it wasn't fused with Devotions power.

You are not the first to think somethin like that (And for example I too think that the Dor is actually a "new shard" but Splintered)...but you have to know something is very different between the Metallic Arts and Selish's Magic.... The Metallic Arts are three distinct Magic Systems, the Selish's Magic is an unique Magic System that express itself different in any Sel's region.
Farnsworth Posted March 9, 2016 Author Posted March 9, 2016 The two magic systems are certainly very different. However, if you think about the fact that each shard is essentially a splintered Adonalsium, and Adonalsium could have easily splintered some other way, then if you bonded two shards, then splintered them, in the case of the Dor, then wouldn't you get splinters that are a combination of the two shards? For example, if you splintered Harmony, you wouldn't get splinters of Ruin and also splinters of Preservation, you would get splinters of Harmony.
