Yeah I lost my lone follower... RIP my popularity

Well, tinkering with the idea of a splintered Shard,(and I know this should not be here) could a splintered Shard form around another Intent? Odium may have been splintered at the end of Stormlight first half, and AoL is after book 5, so Odium may have reformed around Destruction... leading him to change his plans and desire the destruction of a planet instead of the splintering of its Shard. The way Harmony portrays the red haze seems to be more destructive than hateful, less human, and more pure evil.

22nd. Good idea, but I think that Khriss wouldn't be too interested in Earth. She seems to be a scholar mainly focused on Investiture, and since Earth has no conventional Investiture(excluding the Perpendicularity that is Brandon Sanderson) she would have minimal interest, unless to harness nuclear energy.

Well, this certainly is a problem... The Knights Threadkillers must rise again to stop the Evernecropost!

When you imagine the son of Spook being a worldhopping badass and cannot stop thinking about it.

47% Bondsmith damnation. I wish it was higher, but in all honesty, I am not that kind of person. Wish I was, hopefully I can be.

59%Edgedancer Edgedancers are renowned for their skills in and out of battle. Graceful, refined, and selfless, Edgedancers spread hope wherever they go--although they focus on the immediate and leave larger concerns to the Bondsmiths. They possess the surges of Abrasion and Progression. Their second Ideal is, "I will remember those who have been forgotten." 8%Truthwatcher Truthwatchers are among the most tactful and considerate of orders, taking care to think before they speak. They are private individuals, but insightful. Although not generally inclined toward combat, they are invaluable allies off the battlefield. They possess the surges of Progression and Illumination, and their second Ideal is unknown. 26%Lightweaver With their skill for the arts and their impressive memory, Lightweavers shine primarily outside of battle. They have a particular knack for encouraging their fellow Radiants and emphasize self-awareness and individuality above any well-defined Ideals. They possess the surges of Illumination and Transformation. 25%Willshaper Of all the Orders, Willshapers are the most varied. Often eccentric and adventurous, they defy any single definition but express a great love of the new and different. They are energetic and optimistic, if sometimes a little scatter-brained. Willshapers possess the surges of Transportation and Cohesion, and their second Ideal is unknown. 16%Stoneward Stonewards are loyal and dependable, the first to charge and the last to retreat. Stubborn to a fault but fiercely trustworthy, they make for unparalleled allies. They possess the surges of Cohesion and Tension, and their second Ideal is unknown. 13%Bondsmith Wise and trustworthy, Bondsmiths unite and lead the peoples of the world. They concern themselves with the big picture and coordinate other Radiants rather than fight on the front lines. They possess the surges of Tension and Adhesion. Their second Ideal is, "I will unite instead of divide. I will bring men together." 0%Dustbringer Also called Releasers to avoid association with the Voidbringers.

Their second Ideal is, "I will protect those who cannot protect themselves."

Hate me if you will, but I LIKE oatmeal-raisin cookies better.

I do remember hearing someone say that Braize, one of the planets, was Damnation. In fact, I can link you to it on the Coppermind. http://coppermind.net/wiki/Braize I don't think we have any information on the Tranquiline Halls yet.

Hey bud, you might wanna put a spoiler warning in the title or something, because I almost didn't scroll down far enough to give you a warning without seeing the text.

Lirin is the best man on the entire planet, no questions asked.

What's up Shqueeves! I'm Orderbound, and nothing goes better with a welcome than an upvote! All of us here are pretty strange, so mind our ways! (There are many hidden customs to be aware of) Anyways, welcome to the Shard and hopefully you become as weird as us!

Once the invocation is begun, it will not stop. The beast will rise, and death shall overcome the living. New threads, with the spark of life just ignited will fall to undead megathreads which refuse to give up the ghost. Resistance is futile.

Just gonna say before hopping into this firestorm, this was a very bad idea. I'm falling prey to it, and it will become very big. You may have just started a Manywar. I personally have no problem with feminists. They push for equal wages and desire equality. However, the femi-nazis are insane. Literally insane. Find some videos, and within you can find a simple fallacy in their logic. Similar to the Nazis for which they were named, they have a superiority problem. They believe that women are the superior gender. SUPERIOR, not equal. Feminism is reasonable up to a point, after which, it becomes redundant. However, Femi-Nazis are not only redundant, but counterproductive.

Well by the very properties of Lashing, I would have to say that it would win out. I think that in any situation, 10x gravity is far more powerful than a duralumin Push. I mean, falling off a building doesn't take that long, how about speed it up by ten times! Conversely, trying to catapult a coin up a building is going to take far longer.

Hey there Taln! (You mind if I call you Taln?) I am Orderbound, and for the first time, I was here first! A word of advice, take the cookie. The people who say they are spiked are crazy. Welcome to the Shard! Have an upvote! I guarantee you will meet some crazy people out here(myself included).

Damnation that is pretty good.

So I was inspired by @ShadowLord_Lith and his post about Shards. I wanted to ask this question in a broader forum area. If you were to be a Shard, what would your name be? Also, if you feel inclined, enlighten us on your magic system and world. I would be happy to hear! If I were to be a shard, I would be Affirmation. Magic in my world would be based upon strength of belief, being similar to Soulcasting. If you believe something, Investiture would affirm said thing, making it true. Also, another form of Investiture would be able to work upon the mind, Affirming certain beliefs inside of someone, similar to Soothing and Rioting. I could Affirm certain beliefs to make them stronger, while Dismissing others. In terms of a world, I would have several high mountains, which sat above a shadowed world covered by clouds. Below, your abilities would be far more powerful, due to the planet being undefined, while above, humans lived normally. There would be two types of magic, the mental Affirmations and Dismissals, and the physical Affirmations and Dismissals. As I said above, you can only truly change reality within the lower areas of the planet, the ones below the Godpeaks. So, this would prevent the destruction of humanity before it could develop a set of rules. The further one goes from the ground of the planet, the weaker their physical abilities would become. Conversely, those who possessed mental abilities would grow stronger the further you ascended. After all, creation is impulsive, while belief is built on already created ideas. Creation must come from something unformed, while honing something, that comes from what has been built. The Godpeaks were built by me personally, and as such, can not be affected by physical Affirmation. Someone could only destroy my Affirmation with intense amounts of Investiture, as to destroy an idea, you need a more powerful one.

Thanks! I guess I kinda copied Elantris a bit. I don't even know how I could create something like this.

While we are looking though... Could Epic Mickey be slightly similar to Warbreaker? I'm just thinking about colors, of course.

This pretty good. I feel like there are others which may be worth looking into as well. Could Skyrim be an analogue of Elantris? With the shouts being ancient words in the dragon language, it has a very similar feel to the Aons, allowing one to manipulate reality with words, just of a different kind.

Hey dead-moth! I'm Orderbound. Have an upvote! My name is funny because in Unkalaki language it means not funny. Airsick lowlander would not understand. But anyway, I like the Wit you display! I believe you will enjoy your stay here. However, I would disregard the warning about cookies, they are quite good.
