The Technovore Posted February 9, 2017 Report Share Posted February 9, 2017 Like the title says, why do we call it Harmonium, and not something like "Sazedium"? Because I know the other two God metals are named after the shard holders, like Atium is after Ati, and lerasium is after Leras, and Harmonium just seems like a big inconsistency. Idk if harmonium just caught on first, or if it came from a WoB, but I'd just like to know (and if it's just because harmonium caught on first, maybe make a movement to change it to "Sazedium" or "Sazedite"? ) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yezrien Posted February 9, 2017 Report Share Posted February 9, 2017 Sazed chose "harmonium." Here's the WoB. https://www.reddit.com/r/books/comments/2ytg2h/im_novelist_brandon_sanderson_ama/csuq5u3/?context=3 Maybe naming your own god-metal is one of his unique double-shard powers.

Spoolofwhool Posted February 9, 2017 Report Share Posted February 9, 2017 Sazedium does sound worse than harmonium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nervousnerd Posted February 10, 2017 Report Share Posted February 10, 2017 Also, we know Sazed is not really the self-centered type; he usually thinks of everyone else first. I assume that the metal was even born before the intent started to really control his actions too (like how Vin could fight with the shard Preservation) which is interesting because many of the long term shards seem to think of themselves and their intents as the same being.
