JauntyJames Posted November 14, 2017 Posted November 14, 2017 Chapter 122: "'Taravangian!' Odium said. 'This is remarkable.... You did this without access to Fortune, or the Spiritual Realm?'" Could Fortune be the name of a previously unknown Shard? Taravangian is clearly one of the more Realmatically aware players on Roshar, so it's not too big a stretch to think he might know the names of Shards on other worlds, or that Odium would guess that. 1
Agent34 Posted November 14, 2017 Posted November 14, 2017 Spoiler "Drawing on Fortune" was mentioned in Secret History and chromium stores fortune when used feruchemically.
Salkara Posted November 14, 2017 Posted November 14, 2017 Spoiler I think there's also a WoB that Hoid uses Fortune in order to know when and where he needs to be.
The One Who Connects he/him Posted November 14, 2017 Posted November 14, 2017 6 hours ago, JauntyJames said: Could Fortune be the name of a previously unknown Shard? Given that this is the second time "access to Fortune" has come up, and IIRC, the first one being a shard idea got shut down hard by Brandon, I'm inclined to think this is the same. Fortune is a Spiritual Atttribute, like Connection and Identity, to name a couple. Feruchemical Chromium stores Fortune, Hoid's "know where to be sense" is rooted in the underlying principle that F-Chromium works on. I imagine that the implication here is the same. This would be little different from say.. a Scadrian learning to speak Alethi and you'd go: "You did all this without access to Connection? That's amazing!" 1
Shadowmancer he/him Posted November 16, 2017 Posted November 16, 2017 So yet again we see that there are multiple ways to do something. Lightweaving is done on Roshar and Yolen, Fortune can be manipulated via Feruchemy and another unknown magical system, you can create a shardblade without using a spren, and so on.
