![]() ![]() Don't allow the chaos in that is orderly. He even says so.įrom what we understand of her actions she seems to want everyone everywhere to be free of restriction by anyone. He follows it because he finds the philosophy and organization appealing. This is mainly about multi-shard settings, but could have applications outside of those planets and hint at the nature of both Yolen beliefs and the nature of how the power was split. I think that there are clearly order shards, clearly chaos shards, and shards that lean more one way than the other while being a mixture or are equally one or the other, and those more dually aligned tend to clump with one another. It could be that shards more clearly on one side are drawn to shards more clearly on the other. Autonomy isn't paired with any other shard other than itself, and so could also be a combination, as could Endowment - Awakening is based on giving commands that are obeyed exactly as described, but who or what is given a breath and what commands are given are outside of ones control and are very flexible. I did mention Cultivation as a mixture in the first post, as a combination of order applied to chaos, or chaos and order combined. What about Hrathen? It is possible to be passionate without that passion being manifest as an outward display of emotion :-) Also what about Autonomy I could see arguments from both sides. This is interesting, isn't it? Are order and chaos ideas that will be explored more fully later, general structures that the different shards adhere to? What are your thoughts?īut what about Cultivation? She could be either depending on context. It is likely that alternative perspectives will be shown later. Please note that I am not saying each shard is good or evil, only how they are so far shown in the stories. ![]() Odium - passion, breaking the existing structures, lashing out, surrendering control Honour - swearing to and upholding ideals, hierarchyĬultivation - chaos in the service of order, or adding order to chaos while keeping both - cultivation is to shape something that is growing, to fertilise and to prune, to take delight in the order and the chaos present Roshar - interesting combination of three, with good order, neutral balance, and evil chaos, but hints that order isn't entirely good, or chaos entirely evil Ruin - explicitly about change and about damaging things, and as Ruin noted, what he does is about passion.ĭominion - obedience, hierarchy, government based on a single willĭevotion - love and cherishing, putting another before yourself, and likely also something of passion. Ruin noted that if Preservation had his way everything would become stuck in a frozen moment with no change I find it interesting that, on the main Cosmere worlds, with multiple shards, the shards tend to function in a duality based on the concepts of Order - sterility or fixed patterns and general serenity, and Chaos - change and passion. This is a quick observation based mainly on the main Cosmere books. ![]()
