Honorless

Some people have guessed Ingenuity to be the same Shard, some have also thought the Survival Shard is one & the same. That's it's the Shard not situated on a planet. Or all of them are different Shards. Or pretty much all possible variations of mixes. Opinion is currently divided. Eh, could you remove the quote box? It's bothering me because the question you asked doesn't have anything to do with what you quoted Edit: thanks & congrats!

I always interpreted that as referring to the Pantheon Isles of First of the Sun

'Expanse of Vibrance', remember? It's definitely colourful. Might have solid-liquid inversion like most other subastrals. People might have a stronger internal glow due to Breaths, minus the drabs, of course. Probably has some permanent structures since it apparently has a check-in

*hmms in agreement* Thanks for the attachment! I noticed that you used the term 'Unmagic' to describe them both in the file and the main/first? topic you posted regarding this idea. Is that to connect with the term 'Unmade' or do you have any theories connected to this one regarding the Voidish Surges?

Definitely not Harmony or Autonomy. No subtle guiding! I want a Shard who is overt in their existence, open about their nature and directly involved in the governance of a Shardworld

Huh, it did get sorta derailed, didn't it? Sorry @Oltux72! And this is the second time on your thread too, isn't it? The other time with Karger... In my defense, I did continue on with the topic in these posts, though almost completely concentrated on one fortress in particular

So are the gems only a requirement when using the Surge of Transformation using a Soulcaster?

@Quantus again, that comment was said half-jokingly and I extracted the meaningful parts from it when asked. I pointed out that I tried to be careful with the structure of the sentence to try to make it clear that it was half said in jest As for Kholinar, it did fall. It was designed to be a trap and Azure would have lost eventually, which she did. We don't even see the Fused using the more intensive Surges there, only Gravitation for flight. They clearly intended to take the city but their primary goal seems to have been taking down the Radiants Yeah, Urithiru was vital. That was what I was getting at. It's just that this entire thread is about a military coalition between Radiants & normies, talking about fortresses' role in warfare strategy. I thought the reference to a Urithiru and why it was necessary over many individual strongholds (though the Knights Radiant did have them) was apparent from the very beginning Don't let strangers on the internet rile you up, especially when they didn't even mean to in the first place. Sorry if I hurt or irritated you that much

1) Rogue Planet: full on rogue planet. Not planet part of which is in perpetual darkness or whose orbit &/or lifeforms were significantly different or affected to be different somehow. I repeat, I want a full-on rogue planet, wandering around without a host star, carrying divergent lifeforms that are not carbon-based or dependent on water or have starlight involved in any capacity in their biological process 2) A more involved god: A Shard who's chosen to be more accessible to people, directly involved in the management of the Shardworld. Honor or Preservation don't count because they're dead 3) Complete destruction of a Shardworld: Death Star meets Alderaan style, I would also settle for a planet being pushed into the Cognitive or Spiritual Realms 4) indication of life beyond the Cosmere: even if it's just a nudge or an open ending 5) other celestial bodies: neutron stars, nebulae and everyone's favourite: black holes!

I see you swapped the Primary Secondary of Pali, Ash, Battah & Kalak. Why merge honest/inspiring? Ah, Spiritual Perfect Self?

No? You're taking both of comments way too seriously Again, the point of that comment was 1) the Surges render mundane warfare tactics in this case entrenching and siege very difficult or downright ineffective without powers on your side 2) how important the Fortress of Urithiru was strategically

Uh, my point stands, the direct quotations are quite unnecessary, given both the phrasing used and the fact that I also put an exclamation mark to express how I wanted that statement to be taken: which is that I found imagining such a scenario very funny. The serious version is this: The powers seem designed to be a full counter to normal warfare. That's why Urithiru exists. Holding any other, less secure stronghold would be cost-intensive.

Can we have a separate breakdown of the Divine Attributes' thematic inversions? Hmm.. I assume with different synonyms for some of the attributes

Not quite the scenario I was going for. Agreed on the arms race part. The fortifications we've seen so far belonged to/were allied with the Knights Radiant. Besides, Odium's forces had access to the Surges too. And why would Knights Radiant be fighting Rosharan human forces? (aside from those select isolated incidents such as Alakavish) Just noting how horrendous fighting Surgebinders could be, especially on their home turf, with the destructive Highstorms necessitating fortress-shelters. A fortress without support by Surgebinders is very close to being sitting ducks

@Kelsier'sGodComplex, any luck yet?

Definitely no castles, so hilariously ineffective! You've got climbers, fliers, shapeshifters, teleporters, transmuters, earthbenders/elementalists, ...Dustbringers

Any luck with finding this WoB yet?

Can you go over your reasoning behind your prediction regarding the Sibling's nature?

none of the above

An in-world curse, as it happens Thanks!
