@LivInTheLookingGlass out of curiosity where is the speculation about Autonomy coming from? Has she been mentioned in the stories thus far and I don't remember, or is this coming from Brando Sando statements outside of published works?

@MattP Largely from the coppermind. We know that she has a presence on at least 3 worlds covered in the short stories, and apparently there is also a character named Trell in White Sands. This world is tidally locked, so it also fits in with the whole night and day motif that Trellagism has going on. There are also strong reasons to suspect the other Shards aren't involved. Odium is trapped, Cultivation seems only locally interested, like 5 others are Splintered in some form, and Sanderson directly eliminated some others

Trellium doesn't match the description of Raysium, which I find to be compelling evidence against this.

@Forrest mostly agreed, but alloys can take on weird properties, and AFAIK we have only seen one variety of Raysium, and there should be at least two

Yeah, I'd thought of alloys as a possibility but it still seems unlikely

@Forrest It's also possible that Raysium looks different from Taravangianium.
