Interview #1182: Harold Washington Library Center-AU Tour, Entry #64

Argent

I want to take us back to some Shards before we skip me for the fourth time. So there were a few of the Shards that Rayse Splintered, included Ambition, Dominion, and Devotion.

Brandon Sanderson

Yes.

Argent

And those were all way back in history. So, we know that the Shard’s personality overrides the Vessel’s personality over time?

Brandon Sanderson

Strongly influence, and depending on the Vessel, override.

Argent

So, did Rayse choose those Shards because–

Brandon Sanderson

He went after Ambition first, but didn’t find Ambition until after going after Devotion and Dominion. But Ambition was number one on his hit list.

Argent

Was it because of the Shard or because of the Vessel, or the person.

Brandon Sanderson

In this case it was the Shard primarily. He was afraid that this was a Shard that would rival him. But, he then got trapped in the Rosharan system.

Argent

Which is segue to Shards Investing in Shardworlds. So is it kind of a…passive…the more a Shard stays on a world, the Investiture kind of seeps…

Brandon Sanderson

Yes, it does. Once you’ve got a Perpendicularity, you are starting…That’s trouble for going other places. But you’ve gotta remember, going other places means multiple things to someone actually holding a Shard. They can exist in the Spiritual Realm, where all things are one. And they can even kind of comprehend it.
