Solarserpent Posted September 14, 2018 Posted September 14, 2018 Is a Shardholder actively aware of someone using his/her power on other planets where its not invested (like Hoid or a feruchemist on Roshar)? Would this allow Sazed to become somewhat aware of other worlds and the other Shards? Is there some other limitation to Shardholders awareness (actively investing in a planet is necessary maybe). 1
Bigmikey357 he/him Posted September 15, 2018 Posted September 15, 2018 According to one WOB, agents are purposefully trying to restrict Sazed's information flow. How they are doing so I have no idea. 1
Ambitions Avatar she/her Posted September 15, 2018 Posted September 15, 2018 Also I'm not sure you get a user manual when you pick up a shard. That makes sense they would try to restrict his knowledge since Sazed is now the most powerful shard(probably) because he holds two. As far as we know that had never happened since the shattering.
Solarserpent Posted September 16, 2018 Author Posted September 16, 2018 Thanks for the reply. I figured that atleast Autonomy is working against Sazed. Hopefully we will find out the extent of this when we read about to the southern continent in The Lost Metal.
Calderis he/him Posted September 16, 2018 Posted September 16, 2018 I honestly don't think that a Vessel is aware of their power being drawn on outside of their sphere of influence. If they were, I think natural processes would make things much easier for What Autonomy is doing to have happened.
Bigmikey357 he/him Posted September 16, 2018 Posted September 16, 2018 When a new Vessel picks up a Shard they do not get a user manual. They do however get a history lesson. The Shard sends a download to the Vessel that shows how it's power was used previously. From there a Vessel can extrapolate their capabilities. For a multi-Shardholder like Sazed this download is of limited utility because the combination of Shardic Intents likely grants additional abilities that need to be explored and experimented with. And if another Shard, a more experienced Shard begins messing with information flow then it makes it very difficult to do the necessary experimentation to explore the extent of the expanded power set.
goody153 Posted September 17, 2018 Posted September 17, 2018 Fairly certain that Harmony is aware of the other shards and even keep tabs with them through his own worldhoppers(some Kandra serving him and Marsh being confirmed as worldhoppers). He might not just not wanna involve himself in their business similar to Endowment is doing

He wants more information not involve himself. He is just citing his own limitations to Hoid
