Pagliacci he/him Posted October 14, 2018 Report Share Posted October 14, 2018 Thousands of years before any of Brandon's published works a being known as Adonalsium was shattered into 16 distinct entities. My understanding is the Shards are manifestations of various abstract concepts. We know of 11(?) so far. So what potential Shards would you like to see? I'd personally love to see how Perception and Divinity would work in the cosmere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ixthos he/him Posted October 14, 2018 Report Share Posted October 14, 2018 Assuming those are two of the remaining six, their interactions with planets would manifest as powers. Again assuming they settled on planets, those powers might manifest as a strong ability to make objects in the cognitive realm, and possibly make them manifest physically (for Perception), and possibly make those who are thought of as deities on the planet able to perform magic, so the only people with abilities would be those who are already thought to have abilities. I don't think those are shards though ;-) Shards are probably better described as drives - so the drive to ruin or to preserve or to cultivate; hatred and the desire to commit to something, the desire to control and the desire to retain or see autonomous actions, the desire to keep promises and the desire to give gifts, and the desire to achieve goals. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
