Alas, I am no longer authorized to answer such a question. Perhaps ChipsAHoid could answer more definitively. -
They’ll be a complete non-issue, I promise. Iairandeshi-as-Ruin wanted to make singers, right? That’d be pretty neat. In my imaginings of singer biology, I had come to the conclusion that they, as adults, naturally exist in a drab-like state. Their gemhearts would serve as a physical way to enable the easy attachment of foreign Investiture into their soul, thereby giving them an above-minimum level of Investiture and altering their physicality and cognition according to whatever type of Investiture they drew in. On Roshar, free flowing Investiture comes in the form of spren, with highstorms providing extra power to facilitate transformation. I’m excited to see how such a phenomena might be exhibited by Ruin/Devotion’s singers. (Also, don’t singers have to take in certain minerals from cremwater to grow a gemheart? They better start eating rocks.) Gasp!

I suppose that Preservation would need assistance to actually make things, yeah. I was imagining, however, that if Preservation made their own people in the Threnodites system (with Endowment’s assistance), that those people would primarily be under Preservation’s care. With Threnodites being primarily under Endowment’s. Messing with pre-existing Threnodites was a special case, cause their inherent shade-Investiture is very neato.

twas specifically for any humans or sentient species created directly by Shards, so they’d have an inkling of extra passion. I was going to message all those people, but now that’s your burden to bear. I think those would be Honour/Autonomy, Ruin/Devotion, Cultivation/Invention (maybe), Ambition. Might also apply to Preservation and maybe Reason in future, depending on what they’re doing.
-
That’s a good reason. But, it really only applies if that player was planning on doing such. Coder, theoretically, could just make a random goober on Cultivation’s world, and have nothing to do with Cultivation at all (minus being a magic user, I guess, but Cultivation would have bunch of those to use.
-
I, too, don’t completely get it. If a Shard wanted a loyal servant, finding a suitable candidate on their planet would take no time at all, really. It wouldn’t affect much if this person was also a fleshed out being created by the Shard’s player, as far as I know. They’d be loyal either way. If that player wanted to make a Shardic champion in the first place, that is.
-
As clarification, do you mean not in service to that players’ Shard? Like, Coder couldn’t make a servant of Cultivation. A planetary requirement is kinda not a restriction for Worldhopper-types.
-
Well, that very much is something Shards and their champions do anyway, right? Like, theoretically, Encephelous or whoever can go up to Mercy and say ‘Yass queen, slay. I shall be your loyal servant,’ and it’d be the same, right?
-
Personally, I don’t see much problem with it, inherently. It would come with less baggage than a person playing two Shards.

Don’t worry, mein freund, tis merely an expression to mean ‘a really long time’

“Noted,” Reginn replies. “Hopefully, such a measure should prove to not be necessary.”
-
True, but that doesn’t preclude it from becoming subject to outside effect.
-
Theoretically, one could do a mega time dilation acceleration thing until Hawking Radiation turns it to nothing, but that’s probably like a thousand year commitment, along with other notable scruples.
-
Here’s what I remember:
-
All Shards are a mode taken to the extreme. All Valor cares about is Valor. You can justify retreat pretty easily, and no Shard is going to rebel so soon against one of the Shatterers, but it will still have gripes, which might easily be swayed by other means. (Like, Virtuosity could be fine with desecrating the work of Adonalsium if it means new artistry takes form) Like continually working to oppose Virtuosity, pursuing him even as he flees from the supernova, or perhaps workings to contain the blast or resultant black hole.

“Bah!” Reginn grumbled. “Call it what you like. We have a job to do.” With that, he begins the journey to the chosen sewer entrance, completely ignoring all other interruption.
-
“Carefully. Making note of what we find so that we may deliver a more decisive blow later,” Reginn answers.
-
“As of this moment,” Reginn answers, “our knowledge of the enemy’s number and position is minimal. To begin, we shall methodically run through the sewers, investigating any locations which might serve as a nest. Once we had identified those locations, we would exterminate them thereupon or retreat and recover, as necessary.” He motions towards Teshan. “It has been suggested that we might later collapse such locations from above, if we find such a strategy to be worthwhile.”
