Honorless he/him Posted February 12, 2020 Posted February 12, 2020 (edited) The Drominad System has four planets in the habitable zone, we see one of them, First of the Sun in Sixth of the Dusk . Khriss says that Second of the Sun & Third of the Sun have human beings as well. But what about Fourth of the Sun? Quote The system, nicknamed Drominad, has a remarkable three planets inhabited by fully developed human societies. There is also a fourth planet in the habitable zone. This is unique in the cosmere; only the Rosharan system can rival it, and there one of the planets is inhabited solely by Splinters. All four of these planets have water as a dominant feature. Is it only in the habitable zone but remains uninhabited? Does it have "primitive" rather than "fully developed" human societies? Does it not have humans at all - Does it have other intelligent lifeforms? Or does it contain life but no lifeforms that have achieved sapience? Does it only have microbial life? The first and the last options seem most plausible to me As @Eternal Khol notes, it might not necessarily be Fourth of the Sun that's the exception in the Drominad system which doesn't harbor a "fully developed human society". Khriss never stated which ones did, only that three of them did. First, Third and Fourth of the Sun have green splotches on them, marking presence of land and vegetation. Second of the Sun appears to be entirely blue without any visible landmasses. Edited March 13, 2020 by Dreamer 1
Aon Tia she/her Posted February 12, 2020 Posted February 12, 2020 Which one is inhabited solely by splinters? Fourth?

That's referring to the Rosharan System, not the Drominad System Spoiler That's Braize, inhabited by Odium, Voidspren, the Fused, Thunderclasts, the Heralds in-between Desolations, possibly some of the Unmade at some points Edited February 12, 2020 by Honorless

Just some of them, at some points, must've visited Braize as it is the HQ of Odium's forces Besides, that's getting off-topic, PM me if you want to talk about this more

But now with everstorms, they don’t need to any more.
+Harrycrapper Posted February 14, 2020 Posted February 14, 2020 Could be just like Mars, planet in the habitable zone but didn't have life whenever Khriss visited. Maybe life was there but died out, might be it never had it, or might be that it could start developing in the future. The Drominad system seems like it will develop interplanetary trade when the various civilizations there start getting space faring tech, they might colonize it later in the Cosmere timeline. I could see Brandon making a short story or something where the characters go to colonize a new planet using one or more of the various magic systems. 1

Cosmere terraforming, sounds kinda scary but also very neat

I just do not associate ringed planets with planets that could harbor life due to the various articles, videos, etc I've read or heard on the subject Edited February 27, 2020 by Dreamer

This isn't necessarily indicative of anything, but 1st, 3rd and 4th of the sun all have the colors blue and green like the oceans and land 2nd of the sun only has the color blue like it doesn't really have land, which would most likely be needed for a "fully developed human society" It's almost nothing, but it's what I'm hanging on to. 2

Eventually our moon could become a ring. Also with cosmere rules about making planets this is not a problem.

About habitable zone & resulting impossibility of ice rings, how vital the moon & resulting stronger tides were to life, how dangerous ring formation could be for any extant life, etc. Yeah, it's not as big a concern in Cosmere settings 6 hours ago, Eternal Khol said: Ohhh....

That's a good observation!
Hen she/her Posted June 7, 2020 Posted June 7, 2020 Maybe there is life and Kriss missed it? Something like an underground society? (Or, if it’s the Second of the Sun, an underwater society)

Not fully developed human societies? No sapient life? No life? It's a bit unclear but probably not the first two since she compares it with the Rosharan system & mentions that the Drominad has four planets in the habitable zone

It's a bit unclear but probably not the first two since she compares it with the Rosharan system & mentions that the Drominad has four planets in the habitable zone i think whatever planet it is, its gotta have life, maybe not humans, but definitely life. i feel like in the space age cosmere, that Fourth Planet will be colonized.
