But it was more of awareness of this as a possibility. Is it only because of the raw power of the two Shards? Or is he scared of what Harmony represents? (Meaning the possibility of merging two Shards.) Was he aware that this was possible?Ī. You've mentioned before that Odium is scared of Harmony. Has Odium interacted with any Shards other than Honor, Cultivation, Dominion, Devotion, Ambition, and Autonomy in a meaningful way post-Ascension. Given the Sibling, and the death rattle about how "Three of sixteen ruled, but now the Broken One reigns", was there a third Shard on Roshar with Honor and Cultivation prior to Odium's arrival? What if fighting the battle against Odium, or taking it to the next level of confronting him on Braize, is exactly what’s needed for him to break free? This could indeed create the dilemma Hoid mentioned to Dalinar, about letting Roshar burn if that’s what is needed to accomplish his purpose. Pattern, Shallan's liespren, tells Shallan when she is on her way to the Shattered Plains that all spren are made of Honor, Cultivation, or Odium, and he is terrified to mention Odium's name. Odium could break his deal, but if he did, it would be very dangerous to those who would seek to have advantage against him. But, Taravangian - who has a world view that is terrifying, elevates Taravangian-Odium to something more villainous. That he was defeated in a major way then, and that in Rhythm of War he was defeated again, this time by Kaladin, Rayse-Odium is no longer the threat he once was. That is a huge blow to Odium, Rayse-Odium. In Oathbringer, Dalinar does not fall to Odium. There are some subtle distinctions, but for the most part, being bound on Braize is the same as being bound on Roshar. Īlso according to Brandon, Odium's binding, and that of the Heralds/ Fused, encompasses Roshar and Ashyn. He is still, however, able to influence all 3 important planets in the Rosharan system: Roshar, Braize, and Ashyn. He is restricted to the Rosharan system of planets, seemingly due to something Tanavast did, and cannot at this time escape to destroy any more Shards. He now resides on Braize but his presence is still very much felt and experienced on Roshar. Odium is an interloper who moves between planets wreaking havoc and leaving devastation in his wake. Mercy was also there, but that Shard's involvement remains uncertain. He mortally wounded Ambition there, tearing off chunks of Investiture, twisting the system. Odium also chased Ambition to the Threnodite system soon after the Shattering with the intent of killing the Shard. Odium went after Devotion and Dominion partially because they were breaking the rules, and because he seeks out those that might be a challenge to him. It has been confirmed that Rayse was the original holder of the Shard Odium and it is suggested in the Letter that he had more than 'something' to do with what happened on Sel and the deaths of Aona and Skai of Elantris. Īccording to Brandon, Odium is not native to Roshar he arrived long after Honor and Cultivation arrived on the world possibly following humanity after they destroyed Ashyn with their Surgebinding as stated by Syl. His power is hatred, both felt and provoked, and is related to the Thrill that men feel in battle. He was your first god, before you turned to Honor." * I wasn't alive then, but I know this truth. He draws in emotion, and doesn't let it go. Why is there so much war? Must we always fight?. Subject: a cutpurse with the wasting sickness, of partial Iriali descent. –Collected: Chachanan, 1173, 84 seconds pre-death. "Three of sixteen ruled, but now the Broken One reigns." * Odium is not the only Shard to have been forced to leave their world after it was destroyed. However, possibly unknown to Odium, the conflicting Intents of Ruin and Preservation make it difficult for Harmony to act. He despises the fact that somebody (i.e., Sazed from Mistborn) has two Shards. I am the very thing that makes men men." I am lust, joy, hatred, anger, and exultation. So, he Splinters the Shards he destroys, thereby preventing anyone else from taking up those Shards - and each their power - to challenge him. In this, he feels that Odium matches him perfectly. Rayse doesn't want, in any way, to be influenced by the intents of other Shards. Ī Shard's intent is somewhat interpreted by its holder. He bears the weight of God's own divine hatred, separated from the virtues that gave it context. As a Shard, he is held by a man (Rayse) who benefits from his intent inasmuch as he was described as loathsome, crafty, and dangerous himself. Odium is pure hatred: that which one feels and that which one is provoked to feel. ![]()
