So, correct me if im wrong, but Ado seems to have created the Dawnshards to be of use to Humans(or people in general. They were eventually used to Shatter him into 16 pieces “And then eventually, they were used to undo Adonalsium itself.” “ The four primal Commands that created all things” To make such Commands(to use the godly surgebinding), youd need to be able to understand things the way Ado didĪnd for mortals to be able to understand/“experience?” things the way Ado did, he made the Dawnshards. “ To make such Commands, one must have the reasoning-the breadth of understanding-of a deity“ “ Demands on a level no person could ever manage alone”ĭoing this was too much for a mortal to manage.

To utilize this “godly” surgebinding to its fullest, Intent and a Command are necessary. “ All their greatest applications require Intent and a Command.” The most powerful forms of Surgebinding rise above normal, mortal ways of seeing things ”“ The most powerful forms of Surgebinding transcend traditional mortal understanding,”

If the crew cannot uncover the secrets of the hidden island city before the wrath of its ancient guardians falls upon them, the fate of Roshar and the entire Cosmere hangs in the balance. With the help of Lopen, the formerly one-armed Windrunner, Rysn must accept Navani's quest and sail into the perilous storm from which no one has returned alive. Now Rysn's pet is ill, and any hope for Chiri-Chiri’s recovery can be found only at the ancestral home of the larkin: Akinah. Shipowner Rysn Ftori lost the use of her legs but gained the companionship of Chiri-Chiri, a Stormlight-ingesting winged larkin, a species once thought extinct. Knights Radiant who fly too near find their Stormlight suddenly drained, so the voyage must be by sea. When a ghost ship is discovered, its crew presumed dead after trying to reach the storm-shrouded island Akinah, Navani Kholin must send an expedition to make sure the island hasn't fallen into enemy hands. Taking place between Oathbringer and Rhythm of War, this tale (like Edgedancer before it) gives often-overshadowed characters their own chance to shine. From Brandon Sanderson-author of the #1 New York Times bestselling Stormlight Archive and its fourth massive installment, Rhythm of War-comes a new hefty novella, Dawnshard.
