Ashspren Posted March 28, 2018 Posted March 28, 2018 Quote "Some men, as they age, grow wiser. I am not one of those, for wisdom and I have always been at cross-purposes, and I have yet to learn the tongue in which she speaks." -- Hoid, Oathbringer We all know that Hoid has undoubtedly had some interactions with Shards... so when he refers to Wisdom as "she," is this just a coincidence? Or is there a Shard for Wisdom, whose vessel happens to be a woman?
JoelyWoely he/him Posted March 28, 2018 Posted March 28, 2018 It's up for debate, but since it's not capitalised like the other shards names I assume that he was just personifying the word. Much like how you'd call a ship a she or whatever.
Weltall Posted March 28, 2018 Posted March 28, 2018 Been asked before. I really don't think this is the case. Anthropomorphizing the concept of wisdom (and virtues generally) as female is a very old thing.
