I want to tell people about it.
But I have been forcing myself to be vague. Grrfrhfauh
This project is friggin lit.

"It never was," Calano says, his voice trailing from nowhere, "The clinic was always a place of medicine. A place of healing. It has been some time since I have walked its halls. Is it still a place of comfort?"

I'm running it through GPT rn GOT IT!!! It's a Playfair Cipher. Took a few different methods, but GPT got the first line with Playfair and said it would take a bit to do the rest, but I had it do it. It only took like 45 seconds. THE BEGINNING OF THE END IS NOW UPON US MY FRIENDS, AS WE ENTER A NEW ERA OF TRUTH AND UNDERSTANDING. DO NOT FEAR, FOR THE FUTURE IS BRIGHT WITH POSSIBILITY. WE WILL RISE ABOVE ALL CHALLENGES AND OVERCOME EVERY OBSTACLE THAT COMES OUR WAY. THE POWER TO CHANGE THE WORLD LIES IN OUR HANDS, AND WE SHALL USE IT WISELY. TOGETHER, WE WILL ACHIEVE GREATNESS AND BUILD A FUTURE OF PEACE AND PROSPERITY. THE JOURNEY WILL BE LONG, BUT WE SHALL PERSIST. NEVER FORGET THE LESSONS WE HAVE LEARNED, AND NEVER LET GO OF THE HOPE THAT GUIDES US FORWARD. THE END OF THE BEGINNING IS JUST THE BEGINNING OF SOMETHING FAR GREATER. @Ookla the Bacon

Much like Ruin and Preservation became Harmony, I feel like Devotion and Dominion would become something like Monarchy or Sovereignty. Perhaps something fancier like Fiducia. I'm curious if Rysn could do something like this using the Change Dawnshard... Use it somehow to give the Dor back it's connection to the SR.

Didn't Shai do this with a soulstamp in TLM?
-
I believe so. I think I mentioned it after we passed that milestone, because that was when we became the biggest RP on the Shard. it still boggles my mind that that RP did that.
-
Not too many, only a couple. Three at most.
-
ha. real. clinic was uh... yeah clinic took up a lot of time.

I see you and say that TLT is in "Forum Games and Random Stuff," whereas Insanity Clinic is an official Shard roleplay

Shoutout to @Ookla the Dreamer, and @Ookla the Rich, for dueling with me at Dragonsteel '23 with foam Shardweapons. that was dope. Also shoutout to @oOkLa ThE fEmALe cHeEsE for being an awesome friend and sending me videos of the crazy weather where you live. Shoutout to @The Wandering Wizard for that one time we made/carried/birthed the Shard's biggest RP ever (i think). That was also dope.

This is new information to me; despite my many reads of both Stormlight and other cosmere novels, I always have failed to read between the lines. And yet somehow, when it's revealed to me, it always makes sense. It also makes click in my head the reasons that Koravellium was so chatty/tutor-y right after Taravangians Ascension. Every time I think I understand something... and then it turns on my head. Of course this makes sense, and of course I didn't see it before lol. I wonder, though: What if Taravangian had been having an intelligent day? Unlikely as it is, what with the smart days dwindling in frequency as time went on. Would the memory of his more emotional moments have been enough? Or is Ascension more spur-of-the-moment thing? For example: A coward couldn't pick up Valor. But could he if he had suddenly had a powerful bout of confidence brought on by a loved one saying something positive? An anarchist couldn't pick up Dominion. But humans are constantly changing (assuming the new Vessel is human), could they Ascend if they suddenly realized the power that was in their grasp? Someone who didn't appreciate or understand art, could they pick up Virtuosity if they suddenly understood a certain piece of art, if they suddenly realized the power behind creativity? I imagine yes, because it's making that Connection with something similar to the Shards Intent.

So here's a thought I just had. In Secret History, when Leras dies, Kelsier (as a Cognitive Shadow) Ascends to Preservation. However, the power doesn't... suffuse/infuse with him as a Shard normally would during a new Ascension. The Coppermind says it's because he wasn't intended to take it. In the story itself, it states: However, in Rhythm of War, when Taravangian ascends, it's also somebody who was never intended to take it. Who intended who to take what Shards is obviously impossible to quantify or qualify, but I can imagine that it was at the very least unexpected. But with Taravangian, he easily Ascends, taking up the mantle of Odium much easier than Kelsier did. The Coppermind, using RoW as a reference point, cites that it's because it was one of his less intelligent/more emotional days. This communicated to the Shard that this new Vessel had the proper Intent to Ascend. Even still, Taravangian would have had that Connection to the Nightwatcher and to Cultivation, right? Would that have not gotten in his way, that seeming disconnect or separation from the Passion that allowed him to Ascend? This is mostly word vomit, I think I mostly understand the mechanics of what Taravangian Ascended fully, and Kelsier did not, but I'm curious about other peoples views on this.

Hey folks!! So, we know of 15 Shards. Just 15. The other one is.... unknown. It's been hinted that the Intent is something like Wisdom or Prudence. I deviated from that a little, and decided to make my own. Here's the LINK to it. Let me know what you think- commenting is on :)))
