Ripheus23 Posted August 4, 2019 Posted August 4, 2019 So my belief about Shardplate is that it is Honor and Cultivation's adaptation of the original Rosharan ecology, and that Yelig-nar is Odium's perversion of such a process. I also think sandlings and chasmfiends might be Connected but IDK... Anyway, let's say that in the long run, the Dor is sucking in other dead Shards (if slowly) and there is a plot to use Nightblood to solve the problem but that triggers a greater disaster... Anyway so suppose that Hoid wants to resurrect Aona, somehow, because for him, the first (of two firsts?) murder of a Shard was the beginning of what has been getting worse ever since... The death of Love and the rampage of Hatred. Although maybe the quasi-canon is that he wanted to bring someone back, before the Shattering even, IDK. Or maybe he changed his mind... Anyway, the idea is that a lot of Shards might get into the Dor, so that it does endanger the cosmere, but hopefully Honor is not one of the devoured Shards... Or it is but so is Odium and the Rosharans had no idea, they were sacrificing their magic to save their world?
Wandering Investor Posted August 5, 2019 Posted August 5, 2019 Gotta agree with @Karger, you might need to rephrase this... theory? I think its a theory. Also, you seem to have confused Shards(shardplate and shardblade) with Shards(Shards of Adonalsium). Also, why would the Dor suck up other dead shards? The other dead shards are presumably far away, and even then the Dor is filled to the bursting. Stuffing more investiture in the region would take a titanic amount of effort, and I'm not even sure if its possible. And even if it were, it might be dangerous to Sel, but the rest of the cosmere would be fine. 1
Ripheus23 Posted August 5, 2019 Author Posted August 5, 2019 I'm assuming long-term Cognitive gravity for the Dor, and I was trying to tie in a Shardplate theory instead of posting a separate thread about it haha
+TheFoxQR Posted August 5, 2019 Posted August 5, 2019 Coming from me, this might be a bit much, but mate, seriously. You might want to slow down a little bit. Or atleast give reasons for assertions.

RShara she/her Posted August 5, 2019 Posted August 5, 2019 I'd love to see the evidence that leads to this theory. 1

So would I this is what I get for theorizing after fainting EDIT: I just remembered, my theory, or the Shardplate part of it, involved a notion of spren 'evolution', like the common spren of Roshar are human-derived such that the ones like Cusicesh or the stormstriders are from the prior sprevolutionary epoch.
