Ripheus23 Posted November 12, 2018 Report Share Posted November 12, 2018 This theory relies on some assumptions, like, "An avatar is not equivalent/identical to a Shard per se (not even a Vessel)," but is a corresponding projection therefrom. This would have to be so if the theory were true since Quote Sweetness Since the evil on Threnody isn't a Shard... source Now, my reason for thinking that Ambition, like Autonomy, has had avatars, is due to my assumption that Uli Da was doing something similar to what Bavadin has done in going out and "igniting" her assigned Investiture-blobs throughout the Cosmere. Beyond this, it's just a guess, and I think technically my argument is fallacious ("affirming the consequent" or some such thing) except in some vague, "Deductive logic can get weird betimes," sense.

RShara she/her Posted November 13, 2018 Report Share Posted November 13, 2018 I'm not sure how that would work with the timeline, though. SfS is pretty far ahead in the cosmere timeline, iirc, and Ambition was killed before Odium got trapped on Roshar, so at least 6000-10,000 years ago. And Silence's grandmother was one of the first in the Forests, wasn't she? The Evil took over the Homeland just a few generations ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ripheus23 Posted November 13, 2018 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2018 I guess my guess is that the Evil "woke up" at some point. Maybe it's like how the landscape of Sel is becoming conscious. Imagine that, the Evil is a Shade... not of a person, but the entire continent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
