    Gives like +10,000,000 aura. The bear confuses me though, but I guess that's kind of ironic.
  8. ThroughTheLivingIlliterate
    I don't think that that would be advisable. Should I microwave my aluminum foil?

    Welcome to the 17th Shard. I'm not really a well known figure here, but I'm happy that I can be the first to welcome you. Honestly, I was drawn to this place for the same reason as you, except I really just come here when I'm bored with my online classes. Yumi is a great book and I find that it does get quite confusing at some points. Anyway, If I had to ask a question What planet would you want to win an all out cosmere war?

    I'm feeling severely outmatched by your people's knowledge. I'm getting rather confused now. But I did reread Dalinar's POV during the actual contest, and what stuck out to me was 1. During Dalinar's vision, Nohadon had a strange connection with child Honor 2. Technically, Honor as a shard is now influenced by the human idea of honor, but not as with spren, more as observing and forming his own opinion on it 3. Gavinor's character arc in this story is strangely reminiscent to Honor (as a sentient being). I could explain this view point more, but I don't know if it has been discussed before. 4. It is also shown that Honor had some sentience while Tanavast held it. The book mentions that the power had tried to work along with him, but Tanavast was too far out of line. That's all I can really remember right now

    It still changed. Time isn't really a constraint to shards though so it doesn't really matter how long it takes. What I really care about are the interesting circumstances that lead up to Dalinar's ascension to the shard and, ultimately, him abdicating.
  16. ThroughTheLivingIlliterate
    Thanks, that helped. Honestly, I was just putting the question out there, but this has given me some new insight.

    Ruin was able to change, and it wasn't sentient.
  18. ThroughTheLivingIlliterate
    But it can change. Entropy, am I right? (Pun Intended) I wanted to know what defined the intent. Human ideas or something else?
  19. ThroughTheLivingIlliterate
    But sentience that has literally just been stewing in its inherent distrust of humans?
  20. ThroughTheLivingIlliterate
    Well, I did not know that. But still, something can be said about the way that Dalinar was able to accomplish that, especially after only holding the shard for such a short time. Considering that the Ruin to Entropy took many years.

    Speaking of stripping people naked after killing them, I believe we forgot to include Bridge Four's ruthless treatment of Parshendi's bodies in the trenches. In fact, they did it in front of another Parshendi, I mean that's brutal. Also guess what race is represented in Bridge Four, the Herdazians. In fact, not just any Herdazian, but THE LOPEN. Honestly, these people have got to be stopped.

    Actually, that would be quite interesting, especially if the Nohadon being Adonalsium Theory has any merit. I don't know how to quote specific topics, but ultimately Nohadon has taken specific interest in Dalinar, and so far the only person to have altered a shard's intent has been Dalinar. Again, expounding on the Nohadon theory, maybe Nohadon has realized that the intents are too strict, and need to allow for more wiggle room.
  23. ThroughTheLivingIlliterate
    There are definitely some connections here, but Brandon consistently ties in those specific traits in most of his magic systems. I think that it may not be foreshadowing, but more probably the bonds of the spren deal with those same intents because they are such a big part of the cosmere. Nice find.
  24. ThroughTheLivingIlliterate
    I mean it probably helped as much as Brandon wanted it to.
  25. ThroughTheLivingIlliterate
    Well since we are talking about the nature of the intents of shards, how exactly were these intents formed? We know that spren are based off of people's view of the values they represent, but shards seem not to quite match up with this. I mean the human idea of honor is much different than the forming of bonds between people. So how exactly were these intents formed?
