Can the survival Shard hide in a person?
RAFO
Could I have you write the name of-- or the intent of the Shard that's hiding on it's uninhabited world away from everybody?
Mostly because I don't want to canonize these things and so I get locked into it and the decision is absolutely made. I haven't changed many of them, but I have tweaked them before. I've tweaked like how I wanted to represent the intent, so...
Give us the name of a Shard's intent we have not seen before.
There is one who just wants to hide and survive.
So I think [Kelsier] will ever get the Shard of Survival?
Uh, That's definitely a big uh... We'll find out eventually.
I've heard about a Shard that just wants to survive, hiding off-- it doesn't have a planet it doesn't--
Right.
--out there in space, trying to survive. Does it have the intent of like Fear, or something like that?
The intent is related but only tangentially. Mostly it just knows what's going on and is smart enough to get out of there.
Can you give us the intent of the hide and survive Shard, or as an alternative give us the name of another Shardholder?
No. I gave you something good, you got a good one.
The Letter in Part 2 of The Way of Kings, is that written to the Survival Shard?
To the what?
The Survival Shard.
No.
In May, in Germany, you told me that... or I asked whether Wisdom was a Shard, and you said it was or something like it, and that wisdom was close to an intent of a Shard, and you also told me that it has realized that survival isn't necessarily the most important thing for it. I wanted to ask whether it has realized that over time or was it from the get go?
Over time.
Okay, so then naturally, my next question: Is it the survival Shard?
RAFO.
And then somebody actually came up with another good probable name. Is Prudence close?
Prudence sounds an awful lot like a Shard name. That's some excellent theorizing there.
What happened with the Shard that just drifts in the space, the one that wants to hide and survive?
What about that Shard? They want to hide and survive.
Huh, something more?
I think I will RAFO that for right now.
Any hints on Shard "that hides and wants to survive"?
Nope.
