Arterix he/him Posted February 2, 2021 Posted February 2, 2021 If this seems like a repeat of someone else's post, please let me know. I am new here and couldn't find anything on this topic. I believe that the Shards we know and (sometimes) love mostly represent the Spiritual part of Adonalsium, while the Dawnshards mostly represent its Cognitive aspect. The only thing missing would be a representation of Adonalsium's Physical aspect. I say mostly for both cases because it is clear that the Shards contain at least a partial Cognitive aspect in the case of their intent and their understanding of their power, and the Dawnshard has a Spiritual aspect that granted Rysn heightening-like effects. The Shards have been described as infinite in the Spiritual Realm, but only have a limited scope for actually cognitively noticing things. An example of this can be seen in the Sja-Anat interlude, where she distracts Odium by sending Touched Windspren to make him ignore the Touched Radiant Spren who was heading to Urithiru. Both Rysn and Nikli describe the Dawnshard as "being inside her mind" and she experienced thoughts that were not her own when she approached the mural that contained it. They are described as "Commands... The will of a god." It was also mentioned that Rysn would not be able to use its power. I believe that she cannot use the power because she had not had any abilities prior to becoming the Dawnshard, and thus cannot direct its Command on any of her own investiture. If what I think is accurate, than what is missing would be a physical representation of Adonalsium. Each Shard has different physical manifestations in each state. The "Body of Ruin" was the cache of Atium that the Kandra kept. So would Adonalsium have left a god metal? I do not even have the slightest clue what it might be, or what its unique properties would be. I just believe that there would be one. 1
highvelocitypineapples Posted February 2, 2021 Posted February 2, 2021 I am very interested in Ado’s godmetal. I have no idea what it is, but I have a feeling we’ve seen it onscreen and just don’t know it yet... which would be a classic Brandon trick. 1
Honorless he/him Posted February 2, 2021 Posted February 2, 2021 I mean, solid Investiture would still have been a thing before the Shattering, right? And combined Godmetals are possible. So yeah, I think Adonalsium did have a godmetal. I think it was Dragonsteel. 5
Theoryspren Posted February 4, 2021 Posted February 4, 2021 I know it’s been disproven by stuff a billion times but I think Aluminum is Adonalsiums god metal.
