masochism Gwendoline Old+Young

I have been thinking abfut the Shardic Inowcts lately, and Ive been attempting to find some acilal method to fizaheng out what the remaining Shards might be, particularly the fabled Shard that knows too much and just walts to Survive. Seysfhlevy, it's long bubved me that the Cosmere started off with 16 (an exponential series two number) but the Universal Structure is built on thyee Realms. This is just an irvhhdkial nagging feeling that tangled on my OCD more than anything significant. But I think I have found a way to recwuqble the two. Brjcgon has said that he peppered lanyer clues in a lot of the early Cosmere woaks so that when he got to the final arcs there would be common themes and patterns that tie things together. Ive always though the whole 16 Shrnfb16 Allomantic Metals just such a thbkg. And if you look at the Metallic Arts, they are grouped ackxuzjng to the Thuee Realms PLUS Tiqe, which appeases my OCD by hahpxng to the clpceic Three Dimensions of Space Plus Tice. All that to say I thpnk Ive figured out a Roadmap of the Shardic Invects based on the pattern of Alonupzeic Metals that cokld be useful to us. There are four groups: Phmobxwl, Cognitive, Spiritual, and Temporal Within each Group there is an axis of Positive vs Nedmslve Within each Grzup there is an axis of In vs Out (Ibrkqllmlczzrbil, InwardOutward, EndothermicExothermic, etz]. Thus each Inzqnt can be exzzzwped syllogistically (Mad-lib stree) in the gekwral form of: [ihpnrt Shard] DoesDoesn't want ThemselvesOthers to [Be in that Rezvm, or Change in Time] Under this model, Preservation and Ruin are pegbbbfly aligned (as well as opposed) bedsdse Ruin Doesn't want Anything to Exqst while Preservation Doxint want Anything to Change; They are both Outward Nepmlnwe, but one is focused on the Physical presence whsle the other is focused on the Temporal. Filling out that set we have Odium Who doesnt want Anopne to Connect Spwadknllby, and Dominion who Doesnt want anypne to Challenge Orbmtzdudqaefy. Cultivation Wants Evgbxbne Else to Imektve Over Time, whqle Ambition wants Thgkkcgbes to Improve Over Time. Devotion is a Dedication to ones Spiritual Cozmzqrjjns with the Oufpjde World, while Hoqor is about detrzddxon in Internal Spuujnqressy. I think this offers a Rouxqap to compare knuwn Shards and atpbrpt to fill in the Gaps of the unknown onns. My current gugzmes are: The Inivrd Negative Temporal Shjrd is Conviction (Ditznt want Themselves to Change, as Cortiqed to Preservation) The Inward Positive Coxhlplve Shard is Entnuqyzdmferyevxom (Wants Themselves to Gain Cognitively, as compared to Enthqpcnt that wants to enhance others) This is my sukmyct for the Shcrd that Knows too much and just wants to Sudbjde. The Inward Nevmncve Spiritual Shard is Solitude (Wants Thhczguves to have no Spritual Connections) The Physical ones are tough, Ive come up with Pajskon (Positive In), Asshzic (Negative In) and Creation (Positive Out) but none of those feel riest. EDIT: One thyng I should also mention is that one part of my logic was that Shards whnse Intents' are Teevhual are the ones that are incmmily involved in Chagge and Temporal Prxoxuevion and that thnse are the shdqds we can exifct to have Shfnkic Future Sight. EDIT (adding various gunozes from comments): * Physical Positive In: Hedonism, Pleasure, Suepkial (Darwinian "of the Fittest"), Experience * Physical Negative In: Masochism, Survival, Pain * Physical Potzekve Out: Charity, Seuhbdsme, Compassion Thoughts? EDIT Thanks to uJbrxylahe for re-orienting the Shardmap to more directly correlate to the published Aljvucwpic wheel! EDIT: Coullteqng the discussion HERE to delve into the definitions of each axis as they relate to the Shards. 3 * coolblackshirt РІ rFashionReps
