+Weux082690 Posted December 21, 2018 Posted December 21, 2018 The Ghostbloods' symbol is described in the books as "three interlocking diamonds", and I have always visualized that as three diamonds in a line, or chain. Imagine my surprise then, when I saw that exact same symbol in the list of Aons on the Coppermind. Specifically Aon Ati: "Hope", is three interlocking diamonds with a few dots added. This seemed like just a coincidence until I thought of the Ire. A group of Elantrians who seemed intent on taking up the power of a Shard. Could the Ghostbloods be the Rosharan arm of this organization? What do y'all think, is this just too far-fetched, or a possibility? (Also, is there a better description of the Ghostbloods' symbol I'm missing? That could support or disprove this.)
Calderis he/him Posted December 21, 2018 Posted December 21, 2018 (edited) The symbol actually appears in one. Of Shallan's drawings in the book It is not in a line. I'll try to find it and come back and edit it in. Edit: Edited December 21, 2018 by Calderis 2
RShara she/her Posted December 21, 2018 Posted December 21, 2018 Yeah it's basically the Mitsubishi logo 1
Quantus he/him Posted December 22, 2018 Posted December 22, 2018 I always thought it was a symbolic representation of the Three Realms, with the central intersection being a Perpendicularity. 3
+Weux082690 Posted December 22, 2018 Author Posted December 22, 2018 For reference, it is Shallan's illustration of Shadesmar Spren on page 1004 of Oathbringer. (I found it, hiding near the spine.)

That is a very good point, it might be. Seems like the kind of thing the guy with stuff from every Shardworld would do.
Ripheus23 Posted December 22, 2018 Posted December 22, 2018 I think there's some special Realmatic thing that happens in a tri-Shard scenario, and the Ghostbloods either know or at least suspect this thing, so they're gunning for it. That or Ambition is split into 3 big Splinters and the Ghostbloods are relevant to that situation. (Ghosts, Shades, who knows?)

Ha, I suggested that, minus the perp because we didn't know what it looked like, early 2017 On 4/15/2017 at 11:09 AM, Calderis said: Just speculation here, but we know that the Ghostbloods have world hoppers and are therefore somewhat Cosmere aware. What if the the three overlapping diamonds of their insignia represents the three realms? I'm curious if I'm to blame here 1
