    Because of all the avatars. I exaggerated a bit, but the power is clearly having sections become more autonomous than others.
  2. Qianweilian
    Autonomy. It's arguably already doing that, but the intent of the shard seems most likely to split itself.

    You're literally on a forum dedicated to creating fan theories about fantasy books and we're all discussing which fictional god people would choose to become
  4. Qianweilian
    I'm not saying that the god metals are made of atoms, just as an example to how Harmonium is not an alloy of Atium and Lerasium. Though that does beg the question, what would a Lerasium-Atium allow do? It would probably actually be called Taravangium or Taravangianium

    I think it's something similar to how something like Iron is not a mixture or solution of Helium or Hydrogen, but if you broke it apart, you could use the individual components (protons and neutrons) to make Helium and Hydrogen. My theory is supported by the fact that Trellium-induced splitting of Harmonium causes a reaction similar to a nuclear explosion.

    Even harmony is maintaining the status quo

    Mercy-Ruin would be such a terrifying shard combo. Kill everyone so they can't suffer more later.

    I picked Devotion because I think it would work with me. Invention I also liked, but I rejected it because being pushed to invent at all costs I don't feel is great. Reason I like more, but it also feels unemotional. I think it would transform a bearer into something a bit like Taravangian, but without emotion. Mercy is my least favorite of the most popular because I feel it would be prohibitive when something needs to be done. It would force you to continuously give people second chances and not hold people responsible. Of course the other direction is bad, but absolute "Mercy" seems worse

    Preservation is like the shard where you don't exactly want it, but it is much preferable to Ruin or Odium
  10. Qianweilian
    Interesting, the shard people would like to possess is fairly varied, but everyone is pretty much against having Ruin/Odium/Dominion
  11. Qianweilian
    Devotion and Reason both feel like they would work with my temperament and also both feel like they would not be super evil.

    My opinion is: Does Vin hold preservation? Y->Vin wins N->Vin gets old and dies
  13. Qianweilian
    Do we know if they actually died or were just teleported to the SR?

    The only interesting part of AJATPOE (wow, that's a terrible acronym) is the annotations
  15. Qianweilian
    I feel the same way, except Bands of Mourning was really good.

    I mean, Rashek originally made 16 inquisitors.
  18. Qianweilian
    Isn't Yumi and the Nightmare Painter chronologically much later then WaT?
  19. Qianweilian
    Still though, Kelsier giving up the shard ia very relevant to the discussion they're having.
  20. Qianweilian
    That makes it sound like there was an Ascension. I think it's probable that the only people who know Kelsier ascended are himself, Sazed, and maybe Spook
  21. Qianweilian
    I wonder what Hoid would think of Kelsier if he knew that, considering that he was the only one besides Hoid who gave up/turned down a shard that didn't immediately die.
  22. Qianweilian
    How often have we seen Hoid straight up lie?
  23. Qianweilian
    Why would they even have a supreme court? I don't believe anything like this has ever been mentioned by Jasnah or in other governments. If there is anything like it, I suspect it might be like Finland, where the Parliament is explicitly superior to the court. I'm fairly sure the concepts of three branches or checks and balances past the monarch don't really exist on Roshar.

    Recommendation: Add forests that block archers and make cavalry slower there.

    I'm not sure if that's the fault of the authoritarian regimes being more recent, but instead of the global backsliding in democracy. As an American, we've had democracy for a while, and we're about to inaugurate a rapist and a fascist...for the second time....
