Episode notes
Sephandrius Signals Ancient Shard Perspective
- The name 'Sephandrius' suggests the sender is ancient, likely a shard or vessel who knew Hoid at the Shattering.
- That framing implies shard-scale perspectives can dismiss events mortals treat as huge.
Shard Attitude Reframes Odium's Threat
- The letter's tone dismisses Odium's victims as foolish and treats Odium as one among equals.
- This raises the possibility some shards view Odium as not uniquely evil, altering the moral framing of the Cosmere.
Letters Hint At An Original Shard Pact
- The letters claim an original pact: 'No good can come of two shards settling in one location.'
- That implies deliberate coordination among vessels after the Shattering and a lost rulebook for shard conduct.
