@Tesh Kholin I saw this in one of your most recent posts and wondered what I world be. So I got thinking...
My name is Mathis, and I was born on Scadrial as a Steel Mistling. I became a Worldhopper when I first met Nazh, who introduced me to the 17th Shard. Nazh and I became great friends, and he was the one that first introduced me into the greater world and the Cosmere.
However, I wasn't as interested with the 17th Shard's extensive work on keeping the Shards apart and their even bigger research, so I abandoned them. I took the knowledge that I gained and wanted to find as much artifacts from the other Shards and hold them for myself.
I first went to Nalthis and achieved the 5th Heightening and Agelessness. It was annoying trying to find enough Breaths with Vasher and his Damnation sword stealing breaths from those with their high breath count. I vowed that was one artifact that I would not want to lay my hands on...
I returned to Scadrial after Sazed fixed the Shard and searched for the Lord Ruler's Palace. I didn't want find the Well, and there wasn't any use of it because of Vin. I did however follow shortly after Wax found the entrance to the cave where the palace lay, hoping I could find any Larsium, but to no avail. So I went to plan B.
I followed Wax a bit longer, hoping to find the Kandra he was hunting. After he killed her, I took her Steel bands and ran. I already knew of Nicrosil, thanks to the 17th Shard. After I got my hands on some from the Southern Scadrians, I fused it into the swollen bands. These I one placed on each arm, granting me extreme speed with my compounded steel Allomancy, allowing unparalleled speed. From my sources, I've concluded it's like using Bendalloy without the restriction of the speed bubble.
But I didn't know that I was stealing from Wax's love... Sorry Wax...
After that long hunt on Scadrial, I then Worldhopped to Roshar, where I'm currently trying to become a Radiant, but it's Storming hard. I did manage to take the other Honorblade for the time being (the other one Szeth and King Taravanast were speaking of in Jah Keved). But once I do figure out how to become a Radiant, fingers crossed I'll be a Windrunner, I'll probably remain on Roshar, as taking a Spren off world is extremely tricky.
Besides I've got everything I wanted here... Except the Everstorm. I might begin to make my way to Urithiru. @Tesh Kholin , we should meet up there!
Your humble servant...
Mathis
