A Shardchair just feels demeaning for the poor spren lol

I'm probably biased BUT I feel like Final Empire Kelsier should be in the spot just above Vin. He's about equally as strong as she is and he has the advantage of being older with more experience and less emotional volatility.

My best guess is that Valor has been taken up by a different Vessel since the Shattering. We got this WoB confirming Harmony is not the only Shard who's held by a new Vessel https://wob.coppermind.net/events/370/#e11795 Most likely Medelantorious no longer holds Valor but was an actual dragon.

Oh yeah that’s a good point. Every Radiant spren except honorspren and cultivationspren would technically be dragonborn too. I think the original poster was talking about dragonborn as the biological children of a human and a dragon rather than spren though

I haven’t, what’s it about? I’m reading UnOrdinary and Hand Jumper right now

I have been summoned

Welcome to the Shard! Great to have you. If you could combine any two Shards what would they be?

Kal’s been training and wielding a spear since he first became a soldier so it’s the weapon he’s the most comfortable with which is why his Intent shaped it into a Honorspear. Kaladin’s manifesting as a spear while the Heralds didn't might have something to do with the fact Kaladin and Syl manifested his Honorspear together while bonded whereas the Heralds received their blades directly from Honor alone.

Hey! Next time you might want to have this in the Cosmere Discussion area just underneath Cosmere Q&A. Dragonborn are almost certainly possible as Cultivation’s Vessel Korevellium Avast was in a romantic relationship with Tanavast, Honor’s Vessel. Both were involved prior to Ascending and continued their relationship afterward as well. Cosmere dragons all have a human/very human like form as well as a classic winged dragon form. Anyways TLDR we’ve seen a human and a dragon in a relationship already so a dragonborn is almost certainly possible. Edgli/Endowment isn’t a dragon. Brandon confirmed there was only one dragon Shard, confirmed to be Koravellium Avast/Cultivation Dragonsteel Mini-Con 2021 (Nov. 22, 2021) https://wob.coppermind.net/events/452/#e14564 We know there were only three sentient species on Yolen; Sho Del, humans, and dragons. Given Sho Del naming conventions seem to be two short words (Uli Da, Jan Ven) and we know she’s not a dragon, Endowment is lost certainly human

I like the theory but we did see Gavilar die on screen. The book was pretty decisive with him “dying alone as all men must” or something along those lines. He could be a Cognitive Shadow since he’s was a kind-of Bondsmith at the time but I think he’d have faded like Eshonai did. I imagine his CS faded faster than hers did as well since the only power that could have extended the Cognitive Shadow’s existence was The Stormfather and he made it very clear he had no interest in associating with Gavilar after he realized what he was up to.

Ok after weeks of pondering I have come up with a potential solution. I still think Endowment is genuinely being high and mighty and does think Shards deserved death for breaking their oaths and I also think she's a bit of a liar and just wants Hoid out of everyone's business. As far as her relationship with Valor goes, we don't know when she helped Valor with whatever it was Valor wanted help with. It could have been millennia ago and since then Valor arrived on Roshar but Endowment doesn't know since Valor's hidden from everyone. My theory is that Endowment helped Valor due to her staying a solitary Shard at the time but since then Valor traveled to Roshar and Endowment just doesn't know. Still a bit of a stretch but I could see it happening.

We know Devotion is the same as Love Love is conspicuously absent since she's quite dead. Devotion was killed on Sel along with Dominion. Odium killed both early in his career and stuffed their "bodies" in the Cognitive Realm, forming The Dor and the basis of Selish magic. Here's the WoB confirming Devotion was Love https://wob.coppermind.net/events/205/#e4539

I think we have confirmation he doesn't try this already. We know Elantrian magic is incredibly sensitive and I imagine pulling The Dor out of the Cognitive Realm would make it go haywire and be catastrophic for Sel in general. Considering we still have stable Elantrians in the space age, I think The Dor will be probably be staying where it is. I don't think Heralds will still be necessary by the end of the series. The whole goal is to find a peaceful solution with human and singers living in harmony. Perpetuating a race war that's going to exterminate 90% of Roshar each time isn't a good ending. I'm not sure what could be done about the Fused but I doubt Desolations will continue post Stormlight 10 meaning the Oathpact/Heralds won't be needed either. They could disband which could be a cool full circle moment from book one where they disbanded in shame lying that they had won and abandoning Taln while this time they truly won and made sure future Desolations won't happen, disbanding with honor.

I think 4’s not of Preservation jt it is a general,y important number to the Cosmere. There’s 4 Dawnshards and it sounds like there were originally 4 Shards post Shattering before each was split into another four making sixteen. (Although it’s a bit dodgy the wording in Dawnshard is weird)

Thank you friend

Ah lol Ooh a fellow Sarene fan she’s really underrated imo I’d have to go with Sazed he’s just a nice guy who you could talk about anything from history to religion to philosophy with

Is this a thing you do to everyone lol

Hey welcome to the Shard! Great to have you! If you could have lunch with a character from the Cosmere who would you pick?

This always felt like a weird bit to me because of the Harmony thing. The Shards combining didn't make a new world. I mean it did but it wasn't a result of the combining itself. it was Sazed using the powers on purpose, the remaking of the world was intentional and separate.

It's a friend you make here on the Shard. Like asking if you want to be friends. Also welcome to the Shard! Great to have you! Red imported fire ants

The Five Scholars, Five Visions, and the five petals on the Tears of Edgli are the main ones I remember

Yeah it was confirmed that was Trellium she used and Trellium is her God Metal.

Yeah that one

Were there any hints in the books Tien had a Cryptic and would've become a Lightweaver or is that solely extra lore from WoBs?

Besides Autonomy's abominations we actually see a full on Kandra with red eyes in her employ. It seems like she did actually find a way to make her own fully functioning Kandra (unless she was somehow taking control of one of Harmony's)
