The Allomantic Metalhead Posted September 29, 2017 Report Share Posted September 29, 2017 I'll start off by apologizing for being inactive for so long, I just kind of got distracted then forgot about this site for awhile. This site is awesome, though. WARNING: THE REST OF THIS POST HAS UNMARKED SPOILERS, so take care. We all (except the peepers who ignored my warning) witnessed (inside our heads, not literally witnessed) the awesome moment when Sazed took on the shards of Ruin and Preservation, thus becoming Harmony. This is what inspired me to ask the community these questions: what hypothetical shard combination would you find interesting? What would the combined shard be called, and what would he/she/it be like? Someone's probably asked this question before, but I would like to see you guys' opinions without doing a complicated search. Although this is not a competition, I would appreciate it if people limited their shard combinations to a maximum of three different shards pushed together. I also would like to point out that this is in no way canonical, and we can do all sorts of crazy stuff without asking how the listed shards would combine. Here's my contribution: Ruin + Cultivation = Decadence (discuss) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Preservation + Odium = Incarceration (best I could think of) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Allomantic Metalhead Posted September 29, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2017 @Agent34 Yeah, but I mean cultural excess, like the kind that slowly builds up over time and leads to the collapse of civilizations. Incarceration sounds like a cool combination shard, i wonder what a world under the control of Incarceration would be like. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I figured Incarceration works as maintaining the same thing for negative reasons. As for a world... we know how access to a magic system is obtained depends on Intent of the Shard or Shards so maybe users need to be trapped against their will? Or perhaps they have to want to do that to others. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Allomantic Metalhead Posted September 29, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2017 (edited) @Agent34 Probably. I'd think that a world ruled by Incarceration would be a hellhole either way though. Edited September 29, 2017 by The Allomantic Metalhead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farnsworth Posted September 29, 2017 Report Share Posted September 29, 2017 Autonomy + Ruin = Anarchy Endowment + Honor = Heroism Ambition + Autonomy = Rebellion Autonomy + Ambition + Unknown Survival Shard = Kelseir! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weltall Posted September 29, 2017 Report Share Posted September 29, 2017 There's been a couple of threads on the subject, here's the big one with a spreadsheet of the various combinations. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
