Staterus he/him Posted June 18, 2017 Report Share Posted June 18, 2017 We know that there is a Survival Shard out there, but does anyone have an idea as to what the official name might be in the future? One of my friends suggested Cowardice, another just said Survival, I thought Instinct. Any ideas would be appreciated! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any ideas would be appreciated! The Intent is only tangentially related. Quote I asked if the Shard that just wants to survive has something like the intent of fear. Brandon replied that that shard's intent is only tangentially related to what's going on. That shard is well aware of what is going on in the Cosmere, and is smart enough to try and just get away from it all. We can't make any real guesses on the Intent, because we have hardly anything to go on. Edit: I do, however, support the possibility that the Intent is Wisdom, as it is aware and smart.

Calderis he/him Posted June 18, 2017 Report Share Posted June 18, 2017 Totally unsubstantiated speculation, but I really want it to be Subtlety. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Extesian he/him Posted June 18, 2017 Report Share Posted June 18, 2017 I think it will be something like Caution, or Wisdom, basically an Intent that reflects a philosophy of inaction until action is demanded and the need for it is proven. And that Shard isn't cowardly, it sees that many Shards could be splintered before the end, or at least diminished, and believes It must survive with Its full power intact for the Final Battle 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zmaray he/him Posted June 18, 2017 Report Share Posted June 18, 2017 Endurance, continuity, Life? Something opposed to change I would imagine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kered he/him Posted June 18, 2017 Report Share Posted June 18, 2017 (edited) We also have realize that so far the Shards have had somewhat powerful literary names, they read very well. Honor, Ruin, Dominion, etc. They kinda pop out at you. That's how it is in my head anyway. My two ideas for the intent have already been said, Instinct and Wisdom. We think back to the letter which has the quote "He bears God's own divine hatred". I've honestly used that as a touchstone, as stupid as it sounds. Just replacing the word hatred with other intent names. For example, God's own divine wisdom or subtlety sound a lot better than God's own divine itchyness Edited June 18, 2017 by Kered Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catfish he/him Posted June 23, 2017 Report Share Posted June 23, 2017 Continuity? As an immortal omnipresent godlike entity, adonalsium would have that as part of his aspects. Would explain well as shardholders take on their shards intent. By surviving it would continue on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiteLeeopard she/her Posted June 23, 2017 Report Share Posted June 23, 2017 Common Sense . Pity the two words likely make it an impossibility, that would likely be a strong Shard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
