Blightsong he/him Posted October 27, 2018 Posted October 27, 2018 (edited) In the released Dragonsteel there is a scene where it is revealed that the Sho Del use silver sheathes. This stuck out to me as an odd material for a sheathe so I asked about it in the reddit AMA and here is the response: Quote Question: I noticed in Dragonsteel that the Sho Del use silver sheathes and that stuck out as an atypical material for an ancient technology scabbard, does the metal hold some kind of significance within Sho Del culture? Answer: This was done intentionally, and will probably still be a thing when Dragonsteel enters canon--but that's a LONG ways away, so don't read too much into it for now. Seeing as how Ambitions Vessel was a Sho Del, my latest crackpot is that perhaps silver being an important metal on Threnody is a result of Uli Da's culture being expressed in the magic. Really glad (and a bit surprised i was right there) to have gotten this confirmation, what do you guys think? Edited October 27, 2018 by Blightsong 7
+Extesian he/him Posted October 28, 2018 Posted October 28, 2018 (edited) Like the idea, like the WoB. I'll see your crackpot and raise a crazy. Silver is to fain magic as aluminum is to 'normal' magic. Threnody is so messed up because sho del are fain and a fain shard was damaged there. Edited October 28, 2018 by Extesian 1
