Okay okay okay
So
I know Dawnshards have been discussed over and over, but I brought something up in a thread and I thought it was significant enough that it needed a thread to itself.
The theory:
Microkinetic/Common manifestation of investiture (no I shall not be abbreviating!) stem from the nature of Dawnshards
It’s a pretty common theory now that I see that Ado was shattered twice, and that the intent of the Dawnshards were combined to form 16 unique intents.
I agree with this
Ruin is sometimes pointed to as Change-Change intent, which
i utterly disagree with, given Sigzil and Hoid’s torment.
The Dawnshards I propose are
Move, from Elsecalling (Elsecalling is a very common MoI). This makes sense to me - it would be like, a robot isn’t truly a robot until it moves. Unless it acts, it isn’t really alive.
Break (word I got for this is awkward, but it should be a bit more about becoming independent), from Division (Division is what makes Microkinesis boom boom). This makes sense to me as well - a child is not the same as the parent, and breaks away to their own path. Where change is the following of this path, this would determine the path. Move would be embodying their path.
The order I’m thinking these words would be:
Exist, Break, Change, Move
(Become Something), (Separate [that may be better word choice] from me), (Evolve/Change/Progress), (Live)
So imma expand on this in a spoiler
