Just watch. Tia will turn out to be an epic, and her weakness will be cola.

It's entirely possible that it is, but here's my reasoning for it. I was thinking the shards bear human like qualities instead of what I consider "nature" like qualities. By nature, I mean the atypical, Earth, Wind, Fire, Water, Heart (Captaaain Planet!). I don't consider Honor to be a part of nature, instead, I think it's a purely human creation, but I digress, I'm rather new to the Cosmere so I could be off base completely. Hopefully, I'm explaining myself clearly, because it's a rather abstract thought even in my brain, and I can't back it up with anything.

Could Cultivation Shardholder have changed hands?

I wonder if we've met Cultivation yet. I'm with the group that believes she is Shin, but I wouldn't be surprised if she was a minor character somewhere that's "cultivating" someone's personality to become better? I'd like to say Dalinar's wife but that kind of blows the Shin theory out of the water. -
Lol that must have cost a FORTUNE. Do you know how much a platinum wedding band costs?! Also, I like the new series, even if I am 28 . It's not as "new" as the last airbender, and it's lacking a little in the comedy area. I still like it, and it's set to my DVR every Saturday. I think it'll pick up a bit when they finally reveal Korra's avatar state, and she unloads a butt whooping (and subsequently gets blamed/banished for the destruction wrought) Of course, I hadn't ever heard of Avatar until I randomly came across it on Netflix a couple of years ago. 1 week, that's how long it took to watch ALL 61 episodes.

Could be. I would think it's simpler than that though. Mar: to damage or spoil to a certain extent; render less perfect, attractive, useful, etc.; impair or spoil: Shadesmar reminds me of The Ways in The Wheel of Time in a way, but that will most certainly change as we learn more about it.

Hi all, I'm new. I just finished WoK, and read the mistborn trilogy a few months ago. I had NO idea about the wide cosmere universe, and if I had, I think I would have enjoyed mistborn a good deal more. I was actually leary about reading WoK because Mistborn kind of dragged along for me, but I'm glad I did. WoK is in my top 10 books of the past decade now, and it's sparked a whooole new interest in Sanderson. Also, the title was what I was thinking when Preservation fell from the sky in Mistborn. Sang to "It's raining Men" of course haha.

No worries dood. I had no idea about the greater world of Sanderson until I finished WoK. So, I've basically only been studying this stuff for about a day. This was just my first random shot in the dark. I was hoping it was something simple, and predictable as complete opposite, but oh well.

Hey all, new here and just finished reading WoK. I was just wanting to point out that we're missing a critical piece of information in regards to these shards. Purpose. What is the finished product when all of these shards come together? I have a hard time believing that it's the power of "Creation". I don't see Honor playing a big role in Creation, but if we break down the word Adonalsium I think we get a better picture. Let's break it apart Adon which means: "a beau," 1620s, from Gk. Adonis, name of the youth beloved by Aphrodite, from Phoenician adon "lord," probably originally "ruler," from base a-d-n "to judge, rule." Adonai, an O.T. word for "God," is the Heb. cognate, with pl. of majesty. I get "lord, ruler, to judge, rule" as the primary descriptors. The last part -ium is the typical naming convention for elements. So basically, The Ruler's Element. It may not mean a hill of beans since it's pure specualtion, but I think it defines one major point. It's a God/Supreme Being, and as such, I believe these "shards" are "human-like elements, which just brings up another point. The shards will be human qualities. I think this fits with what we've seen so far. Cultivation, Honor, Odium (hatred), Ruin, Preservation, Endowment, Devotion, Dominion are all humanlike qualities. Now, I believe Honor's equal and opposing shard is Duplicity, as shown by Sadeas. That's just pure speculation again. Another wild guess would be to Dominion's opposite: Submission. So my list goes: Ruin-Preservation Honor-Duplicity Dominion-Submission Cultivation-Reap(I believe this would be the one Odium would absorb since it's the closest to a destruction like shard) Odium-(I almost believe Odium has absorbed more than 1 shard like Sazed has because what could be scarier than a big bad guy with multiple shards? Also, since Harmony is now composed of TWO shards, there has to be an opposite force to equal him out right? So I guess I could enter Harmony here as Odium's opposite.) Endowment- Devotion-
