Is Ingenuity a Shard?

Is Silverlight that place that is not a planet where there is a Shard?
RAFO.
And... Fortune and Autonomy are Shards? Yes, no?
RAFO.
Ambition, the Shard *inaudible*. Is that the one you previously referred to as not on a planet?
Ambition would fulfill that requirement, but that's not the one I was referring to.
I heard a quote that talked about a Shard we haven’t seen yet that only wants to be left alone.
Yes.
I have a guess but you’ll probably give me a read and find out.
I probably will but you can go on record.
Isolation, I guess.
You are officially on record. I will give you your RAFO card.
*Laughing* Thank you, very much.
What's the most RAFOd question that you're asked?
These days, it's about probably the sphere that Gavilar gave Szeth. That's probably the most commonly RAFOd one. But I'm not 100% sure. No, no, it's names of Shards that I haven't named yet. That's gotta be it.
Is Wisdom a Shard? If so, how bad does it want to survive?
There is a Shard with a similar intent. The Shard has realized that survival might not be the most desirable/important.
What made you decide to canonize not one, not two, but FOUR new Shards? A whole quarter of Adonalsium in this book?
It had been long enough. I had been coy with them long enough. I had worked out enough of the outlines moving forward that I knew what Shards I needed and things like that, and they had gotten locked in enough that I could just do it. And they would mention it. We're getting to the point where if I didn't start mentioning them I'd have to do verbal gymnastics in the stories to not.
When Harmony is trying actively to figure out what happened, and who they all are, and where they all are. It was time for me to go ahead and stop dribbling that. The reason I was dribbling is there were still a few I was still deciding upon. And now that they're all locked in. There's no reason to hold it back.
I don't hold things back from you guys out of glee. I hold things back because narrative drama, and because things are not locked in yet.
So there's still two [Shards] we don't know. Do you have those locked down or are those still...?
Those are a little more vague, like I haven't picked the words for them. I look for the right word, and sometimes I have the word that's the wrong synonym. Odium in this case would be Hatred. Calling the villain Hatred doesn't work in the same way that calling the villain Odium works. I'm looking for those right words.
