Pagliacci he/him Posted October 25, 2018 Report Share Posted October 25, 2018 Let's pretend Middle-Earth/Arda resides in the cosmere. How would it all fit in with Brandon's word? Just a silly little idea. List any connections you can think of! I'll get the ball rolling. Hoid = Tom Bombadil Perpendicularity = Mount Doom Splinter = The One Ring (Which also allows travel into the Cognitive Realm) Cognitive Shadow = Ringwraith Servants of Shard (like a Kandra or Spren): Istari (wizards) Sliver: Maiar (Balrog, Sauron, Valar, Wizards) Shard: Eru Illuvatar? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nathrangking he/him Posted October 25, 2018 Report Share Posted October 25, 2018 (edited) Eru would be Adonalsium. Odium would be smeagul/gollum. Dalinar is Aragorn. Edited October 25, 2018 by Nathrangking 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quantus he/him Posted October 25, 2018 Report Share Posted October 25, 2018 (edited) Hmm, Eru Illuvatar = Adonalsium (obscured in myth) Shards/Vessels = 15 Ainur (obscured in myth) Odium = Melkor (obscured in myth) Cant decide if elves are Spren or just more of a hereditary Elantrian style augmentation package. Unfortunately Dragons cant be Dragons, as they cannot shapeshift that I recall. Very sad about that. Silmarils/silma = Splinters/godmetal Eagles=Spren? I think Tom isnt active enough to be Hoid, he's kinda camped on his home. More like Frost, perhaps? 4 minutes ago, Nathrangking said: Eru would be Adonalsium. Odium would be smeagul/gollum Nah, Smeagul/Gollum is more of a Moash analog. Certainly not a full vessel, though Id describe him as a savant warped by the overuse of a Splinter artifact's realmic capabilities like those soulcasters.

TruthlessofShinovar she/her Posted October 25, 2018 Report Share Posted October 25, 2018 The 17 Valar seem quite similar to the 16 Shards in some ways. And the Hoid = Tom Bombadil connection is so incredible that it'll be my head-canon next time I pick up LOTR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toaster Retribution he/him Posted October 25, 2018 Report Share Posted October 25, 2018 Rock is Legolas. Ishar is Saruman. Taln is Gandalf. Bridge 4 are the Eagles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slimy_Slider Posted October 27, 2018 Report Share Posted October 27, 2018 (edited) But how can we have LOTR in the Cosmere when the Cosmere already has Tolkien? Does he get to go visit Middle-Earth in person? Edited October 27, 2018 by Slimy_Slider Spelling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
