Matias he/him Posted July 21, 2018 Posted July 21, 2018 I finish OB today and i finally deep reading about the cosmere and its sooo many information, so, question, who are the 17th shard and what is their goal?
The Harlem Worldhoppers he/him Posted July 21, 2018 Posted July 21, 2018 They are a worldhopper organisation that preach a policy of non-interference to other worldhoppers. They attempt to prevent worldhoppers from meddling in the affairs of different Shardworlds, seemingly unsuccessfully as shown by the prevalence of worldhopper interference on Roshar. In case you didn't know there were some 17th Shard members searching for Hoid at the Purelake in an interlude in Way of Kings. Ironically, those same 17th Shard members ended up infecting some of the Purelake residents with the common cold so they have made as much of a negative impact as someone like Hoid who they are trying to stop. 1

A group supposedly dedicated to non-intervention with goals of their own. We see three of them in the Purelake interlude of tWoK. Galladon as Grump, Baon as Blunt, and Demoux as Thinker. Iyatil was a former member. We also know that Demoux's wife Aslydin is a member, and per Hoid's letter to Frost, they are somehow associated with the Dragon. There goals are not known.

Matias he/him Posted July 21, 2018 Author Posted July 21, 2018 (edited) Is Khriss involved? @The Harlem Worldhoppers how do you know they infected that place? Edited July 21, 2018 by Matias
The Harlem Worldhoppers he/him Posted July 21, 2018 Posted July 21, 2018 It is mentioned (in OB I think) that there has been an outbreak of disease at the Purelake. 1

Calderis he/him Posted July 21, 2018 Posted July 21, 2018 16 minutes ago, The Harlem Worldhoppers said: It is mentioned (in OB I think) that there has been an outbreak of disease at the Purelake. Was near the end of WoR. Quote Beyond that, there were sudden and unexpected reports, coming via spanreed, of Kholinar rioting. No straight answers there yet, either. And what was this he heard of a plague in the Purelake? Storms, what a mess this all had become. People asked Brandon about it and we got our answer of it being from worldhoppers, and being the common cold. And seeing as we saw a group of worldhoppers in the Purelake at the beginning of tWoK... There you go. 1

There you go. There's the fabled memory of an Arcanist. Your ranking says Elsecaller but maybe you should be a Lightweaver with those mnemonic abilities Cal
Calderis he/him Posted July 21, 2018 Posted July 21, 2018 Just now, The Harlem Worldhoppers said: There's the fabled memory of an Arcanist. Your ranking says Elsecaller but maybe you should be a Lightweaver with those mnemonic abilities Cal I'm not nearly that creative, and I'd like to believe that I don't lie to myself that much... But who knows. I definitely treat the Cosmere as a scholarly study though. I picked Elsecaller for a reason. It's memorization through a frankly unhealthy amount of study.

I don't know about you not being creative. It takes creativity to come up with good theories. Ironically, your self awareness regarding why you would fit as an Elsecaller is also an attribute of the Lightweavers. The orders are next to each other on the surgebinding chart I believe. Maybe you could be bonded to two spren as Brandon has stated it is entirely possible
