Odiums influence on Sel

[Jeffo]

Autonomy has created versions over herself to explore and influence other planets in the Cosmere, has Odium?

Did he do this with Wyen after killing Aona & Skai on Sel?

reading this WOB which (along with some earlier ones) got my mind racing as it's been a while since I read Elantris.

Josh
Is Aona's Shard name Devotion?

Brandon Sanderson
RAFO, but that's more of a "Email that question to me" because I would have to look at my computer to see which term I settled on, but you're basically there. I think it actually may be Devotion. So I'll have to look. It may be a synonym.

Josh
Is Skai Unity?

Brandon Sanderson
Um, RAFO.

Josh
Passion?

Brandon Sanderson
What? RAFO. I'm not going to tell you. You already kind of pulled out of me what Aona was.

[Calderis he/him]

He did not. He left nothing of himself behind.

It says that it's dangerous to travel to Shadesmar on Sel. Why?

Brandon Sanderson

It has to do with the Dor and the lack of an entity controlling much of the power Odium left in his wake on Sel.

Phantine

Woah, that's interesting. I had no idea Odium left little bits of his power on Sel... I guess it kinda makes sense for evil monks to be powered by pure hate, though.

Brandon Sanderson

Odium did not leave his power behind, one should note. He left several other powers which are now, to a large extent, mindless...

If you wouldn't mind answering, does Roshar have a similar problem, with Honor being Splintered?

Brandon Sanderson

No, Roshar does not have the same problem. There are some differences going on. (One reason being that the spren are far more extensive on Roshar, and provide something of a "release valve." The seons and the skaze on Sel are not numerous enough to fulfill a similar function. Though, of course, that's only one part of the puzzle. Raw power is dangerous.

It's one reason everyone should be thankful Kelsier was around on Scadrial.

Ah! Haven't got to that one yet, thank you

Weird that passion and Unity came up back in 2011 though, Josh must have shardic levels of future sight
