You can store a Dawnshard in a mural or in people. Why do you care that it will not longer fit into a specific gemstone to that extent? 3 minutes ago, mathiau said: Unless Brandon changed his plan, he was probably already called Topaz before the Shattering Indeed. But are you absolutely sure human habitation of Ashyn postdates the Shattering? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can store a Dawnshard in a mural or in people. Why do you care that it will not longer fit into a specific gemstone to that extent? That's why I'm assuming it's the one that's different from the other, my hypothesis that the others are normally stored in the mind of the bearer while this one is stored inside an object carried by the bearer. Which would be why Hoid is "the bearer of the first gem" while Rysn is "the Dawnshard of Change" Quote Indeed. But are you absolutely sure human habitation of Ashyn postdates the Shattering? I suspect human were a nearly monoplanetary race before the Shattering and a lot of them left with the Shards 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taln steps up for the job and the rest his history. An interesting note on this topic: The chapter arches have various faces representing eleven characters. Ten of them represent the Heralds. Can you guess who the eleventh is? Yeeeeeep, it's ya boi, Cephandrius Maxtori.
