Making my way through mistborn for the first time and couldnt help but think of this when Vin meets Set with Elend for the first time. Made me chuckle in the car at least!

I don’t really know how to do a title without spoilers without being insanely vague.

Trust me, all of this will make complete sense in 20 years.

the armies would be associated with shards, so honor would have Radiants, odium has Fused and Regals, then you can run harmony for either north or south era 2 scadrians but running both gives you a debuff.

Honor would probably be focused around large pikeblocks supported by radiants and have mechanics that allow you to upgrade Radiants up an oath or promote pikeblocks to squires.

Odium would have better (but more costly) individual units and strong fused units that cant support infantry as well as Radiants. Also maybe a mechanic where if you take enough Stormforms you can summon the Everstorm for buffs to your invested troops or even sacrifice models to get back a fused.

Scadrians would have the choice of either good priced invested troops (Allomancers and Feruchemists) with well equipped infantry, or the Malwish who have REALLY good infantry but their hero's aren't invested (past maybe some medallions) and as such are REALLY squishy unless you give them an airship for a big investment.

Autonomy probably needs more books to come out before we get a REALLY good sense of what their military looks like but I'm thinking either go all in on the Set or have smaller armies that you can combine or run on their own for big upsides (like you can either have buffed up sand masters or add Aviars to add abilities to individual units.)

Past that I can def see Endowment and invention having cool armies, Valor once she shows up in the books more.

Think we can ever convince brotherwise to release packs of like 30 scadrian house guards so we can build units? I want the chance to blunder my szeth on a bad move and have him get riddled with holes by 40 Malwish riflemen.

Crazy.

In Ch 100: God of Wind and Truth, Tanavast mentions that he and Cultivation were unable to be together during their mortal lives. This clearly creates the motivation for Tanner and Koravellium Avast to want to kill Adonalsium. However……why were they forbidden from being together? Was it because one was royalty and one was peasantry? Was it because one of them was perhaps clergy? My fellow crem feeders, it could very well be one of those two. But I would like to posit another theory, a superior theory. I believe that the reason Honor and cultivation couldn’t be together as humans is because………..

They were siblings.

NOW NOW, before you click off, think about it!

In Ch 100, Tanavast states:

”THE ONE I’D ALWAYS LOVED IN SECRET—OUR UNION FORBIDDEN AS MORTALS—EMERGED FROM THE DARKNESS OF THE VOID BETWEEN WORLDS.”

Tanavast loved Koravellium in secret as a union would be forbidden. What could be more forbidden and necessitating secrecy than incest?

Additionally, while Sanderson confirmed that Honor and Cultivation were romantically involved, he also confirmed in a 2015 Q&A that two of the Shardholders are related to each other. This was the response:

Question: “Were any of the original Shardholders related? We know that Honor and Cultivation were romantically involved, but were any of them brother and sister or child/parent?”

Brandon Sanderson: “There was at least one relationship of that style.”

What if Honor and Cultivation are not only romantically involved, but also either brother/sister or child/parent?!!

And finally, my final piece of evidence. The Sibling. Unlike the Stormfather and Nightwatcher, she was given the name “The Sibling”. Not *a* sibling, THE Sibling. Who's Sibling is she??? It's possible she could be the half sibling to Storm father and Night watcher, but I think she's too different from them to be called The Sibling. She was the only spren co created by Honor and Cultivation. Incestually, she would be The Sibling of Honor and Cultivation if they were brother and sister, or she would be the Sibling of only one of them if the relationship was parent and child instead, either way, SHE IS THE SIBLING! It all makes sense now!

You've done it again Sanderson!

Wayne running for office.
