So I just recently finished W&T, and have only recently discovered the Cosmere and started to dive in to it. I started with mistborn era 1 & 2 and immediately jumped into stormlight after. And in diving in over the past few months, I’ve loved hearing all of the theories, especially the Harmony/Discord theories, and I have one of my own, that probably has not standing, but I wanted to submit it here with you guys who have more knowledge of the Cosmere and how everything works.
Okay, I was thinking of Odium/Honor and how they make up Retribution currently, but how Retribution itself gets its identity/expression based on the observation of its vessel (similar to harmony) and what other ways those two powers could be expressed together.
obviously there’s the war connection with warlight, but I thought about how another expression of odium is passion, and he claims to be the god of passion, and passion paired with the oaths of Honor, is exactly what Adolin speaks about in W&T…. promise.
My very undeveloped idea/theory, is that if Adolin were to become the vessel for both shards, he would become Promise. Or maybe even the power of Honor itself (which has become aware and is learning) may evolve into Promise.
would love to see you guys pick this apart! I’ve had a blast reading these forums over the past few weeks.
