Hahaha, hoovering up shards is so funny to me. now I need fanart of an enourmous figure vacuuming up power from various planets. I also wanted to say, of all the shards, I agree this seems most likely. Taravangian would also see his predecessors actions in stuffing them into the CR as fortuitous and like stashing a weapon in a room before you enter it for a party where you plan to assassinate someone, or "No Russian" the whole party, as is his way. Past Odium setting those shards aside for future Odium. I would be fascinated to see what happens to the Elantrians if this happened though. would they just die? Would Fjorden politically subsume all of Sycla? All of Sel? Would the monks of Dakhor fall too without the Dor? Too much chaos, too many great characters dying. For that reason alone, I don't think this could happen because I don't think Brandon would write it. Plus, what would we call a being with four shards? TetraShardic? PolyShardic? Both are a mouthful to say.

I think this was because Radiants are dangerous. Just usually only to evil people, or people doing evil things. So I don't know if that fact implies that the Scadrian scientists believe that oathed Rosharans are dangerous to everyone. Alternatively, I think it implies that the scientists knew their non-intervention was inherently wrong, and therefore a Radiant bearing witness to their uncaring attitude towards the suffering of canticle's people would make that Radiant a danger to them specifically.

Wow, a herald as a shard would go hard. They are already a step removed from godhood as it stands, and it wouldn't be broken, it would be nice to have honor fill the obvious cracks in Taln's Spiritweb, as well as heal some of his brokenness. He would have the experience of multiple lifetimes, and an indellible hatred for Odium, or at least for what Odium put him through on Braize. If Honor is properly affected by Dalinar's involvement, then the combination would make Honor a formidable opponent. Maybe then, Adolin could take up Taln's spot as a herald. Then, maybe, and unfortunately, Brandon could write it so that Chana dies and Shallan could also become a herald and their marriage could last FOREVER. This is what happens, I'm calling it now. Even if it is only because I love them both so much, plus Kal needs his friends most of all.

Funny enough, he was successful. The king died of laughter

I was perusing the WoB's for my own enjoyment and stumbled across this question and wow...just wow. I love the style of the question, the question itself, the spirit of the question. I love it so much that I want it to happen in canon. we DESERVE an awakened, blood golem that can recombine like t-1000. maybe let it congeal so it is thicker, then awaken... That is all

Yes, thank you! most of that was just me trying to be humorous, while also asking for the link. thank you again for being willing to help answer questions for so long now. very much appreciated!

Okay, I have been meaning to ask you this since last week when I was so thoroughly schooled on the nature of shards, their vessels, and any potential power struggle between dishards. HOW do you find WoB's so quickly? Have you read them all and can just remember them using the index in your head, like you're the merriam-webster of WoB's? or is there a site where you can search through them? or some unknown third thing, like you're actually Brandon Sanderson and you've been playing games with us this whole time? follow-up questions: If its the first one, can you teach me how? If its the second one, can you share a link? If its the third one, can I have your autograph in exchange for keeping your secret, lord spirit?

ahh that makes sense. I get why too. Hard to swear yourself to opposing ideals....just ask moash. although after doing some reading on this topic here, I realized that we have technically already seen this. Since Shallan now has a bond with a Seon and Pattern at the same time.

woah, a windrunner/lightweaver/edgedancer would go so hard. same with a skybreaker/elsecaller/edgedancer or any combination really. good to know, ill be on the lookout for unkillable radiants with wwwwaaaaayyyyy too many powers in the next 5

oh, wow. that is interesting. With Taravangian's current plans and his historical tendency toward lighting the world on fire just to to keep humanity warm, because that is the burden a king bears or whatever his excuse may be. I don't think he would last long with just honor as the one shard, especially with honor growing and learning what true honor is. but I dont know who would take it up after that. maybe rlain, szeth or navani. I don't know, no one makes sense for the power right now. At least not to me. but a part of me wonders if cultivation planted a seed in lift that makes her a candidate for the shard later on? otherwise I would root for szeth to take up honor if that ever happened, dude deserves it way more than taravangian. I agree that Adolin would be a great vessel for honor, but i hate the idea for two reasons. one, because he turned down the throne, he would do the same with the shard. second, because I don't want to see him or Shallan have to struggle in their relationship. they have both been through enough and him having to live long enough to watch her grow old and die would be an injustice. vice versa, Shallan does not need to lose her husband to godhood.

could you explain a bit about why the dor is not included? in your first paragraph? wow, that makes so much more sense, at least about the nature of rasharan and nalthian investiture. I find it interesting that he almost acts as if putting adonalsium together is a fruitless endeavor. Yes, this is very enlightening and helpful. Thank you!

I think that last statement alone is enough to condemn him, definitively, as an asshole.

IKR!? i should have guessed this, but apparently I am the most recent in a long, long line of people to have attempted to find a canonical reading order. If anyone finds this and is similarly curious, see this helpful post for more info
