“It is when the soul is pushed to the limit that true exceptionalism manifests. And so, there must be a consequence—as final and terrible as death—for failure. ”

—Autonomy[2]

Autonomía es una Esquirla de Adonalsium, actualmente poseída por Bavadin.[1] Está localizada en Taldain e Investida en uno de los soles locales, aunque posee varios avatares en otros mundos a lo largo del Cosmere.[3][4][5]

Intención

“Autonomy is driven to divide off from the rest of us, go her own way. She pushes her followers to prove themselves, and she rewards those who are bold, who survive against the odds. She respects big plans and big accomplishments. ”

Autonomy wants to remain alone; she does not wish to be corrupted by other Shards and thinks that all Shards are better off on their own.[6] She strives to become the most powerful, most untouchable Shard; to achieve this, she spreads her influence throughout the cosmere.[7] For her followers, she seeks those who are capable of surviving on their own and defying the odds.[1] Her philosophy is very much focused on the survival of the fittest. Under Autonomy's world order, one must earn their right to keep existing.[8]

However, this doesn't stop Autonomy from meddling in affairs of others.[4] On the micro scale, she dictates how exactly people are allowed to express their individualism, requring that each of them fit in her major plan in the way she, rather than they, have decided.[7] On the macro scale, she often intervenes with her fellow Shards, up to and including indirectly attacking them and plotting invasions of their worlds.[1][9]

Maestría de la arena

Para más información, ver Maestría de la arena.

La maestría de la arena es el sistema de magia del Lado Diurno de Taldain. La investidura de Autonomía viaja a través de la atmósfera y es absorbida por un pequeño liquen que vive en la arena local; esto causa el efecto de volver la arena blanca.[4] Los maestros de la arena pueden utilizarlo para dar órdenes a la arena, haciendo que se mueva a su alrededor. La arena se controla en cintas, la fuerza de un maestro de arena se define por cuanta cantidad de cintas son capaces de invocar.[10] Esto lo hacen a cambio de las reservas internas de agua de uno mismo.[4]

No están claras las condiciones necesarias para convertirse en maestro de arena. La habilidad parece ser una combinación de naturaleza y nutrición, y debe ser alentada para aparecer en una persona; esto puede llevar semanas de entrenamiento antes de que uno pueda controlar la arena. A su vez, parece ser innato al mismo tiempo, ya que algunas personas tienen distinta fuerza y en otras el poder no aparecerá nunca.[11]

La misma Investidura utilizada en la maestría de arena puede ser utilizada por gente de otros sistemas planetarios, si el sol de Taldain es visible desde su localización.[12] Los Potenciadores podrían absorber Investidura de la luz solar.[13]

Aviares

Para más información, ver Aviar.

Los aviares son un tipo de aves del planeta Primero del Sol. Son conocidos por sus habilidades sobrenaturales; cada especie de aviar tiene la suya propia, un regalo específico. Ganan esos talentos comiendo frutas del dedo de Patji, un árbol nativo de la isla de Patji. Esta fruta contiene gusanos que se vinculan con los aviares para garantizarles sus poderes. Las habilidades del aviar incluyen ocultar la mente de uno para aquellos que son capaces de percibirla y enseñar a otros su posibles muertes.[14] Dado que la mente de Patji es un avatar de Autonomía, es altamente probable que los aviares hagan uso de la Investidura de Autonomía.[15]

Avatares

Avatars

por Heatherly
Pantheon, home of the aviars and the avatar Patji

“Autonomy is trying to outcompete the others by filling the cosmere with versions of herself. Crowd out the competition, so to speak. ”

Like all Shards,[16] Autonomy is able to create avatars -- semi-autonomous entities that wield a portion of Autonomy's power without being wholly separate from Autonomy herself. Autonomy creates two types of avatars. One type are pieces of Autonomy that have been allowed to gain their own sentience, becoming effectively alternate identities of herself. The other are Physical beings that have been granted the use of a portion of Autonomy's power.[1] Physical avatars benefit from becoming Invested, granting them immortality, as well as incredible healing and resilience.[17] However, they require a Connection to Autonomy herself in order to benefit from their status as an avatar; interrupting and cutting off that Connection leads them to lose the power.[18] While they are connected, they also begin to take on Autonomy's intent, similar to full Shard wielders.[2]

Avatars, both made and Invested, can be of any gender, race and species, including fully inhuman ones.[19] They are considered to be Shards of Adonalsium, in a way.[5] Autonomy can create avatars on different planets in the cosmere without physically visiting them.[20] Avatars can also form without a direct and conscious decision on Autonomy's part, but she will always be aware of this happening.[21]

Through this process, Autonomy has created several personas, both male and female; she has more female personas than male ones, though the latter are also quite popular. She prefers to make her avatars rather than herself the center of attention.[19]

Known avatars

  • Patji, located on First of the Sun; the origin and amount of its Investiture is unknown.[15][5] It wrote a letter to Hoid where it dismisses his concerns over Odium.[22][23][5]
  • Sand Lord, on Taldain; Taldain is also home to many other, unnamed personas of Autonomy, though it's unclear if they're all avatars or if they are all different "faces" of the Sand Lord.[24][19] He apparently manifested himself at some point to Elorin, leading to an attempt to destroy the sand masters, though whether driving sand mastery to extinction was his goal remains uncertain.[25]
  • Obrodai avatar, younger than either of the above. She has been instilled with a great dislike of Hoid in order to prevent him from returning there.[26]
  • Telsin Ladrian, the leader of the Set. Telsin was invested by Autonomy in order to facilitate either control or destruction of Scadrian society. In this function, both Telsin and Autonomy herself are occassionally referred to as Trell.[7][2]

Trellium

Para más información, ver Trellium.

Trellium, more rarely called bavadinium, is the God Metal of Autonomy.[27] While its Allomantic and Feruchemical properties are unknown, when used as a Hemalurgic spike, trellium can grant other Allomantic or Feruchemical abilities, and hide the bearer of the spike from Harmony's vision and control.[28][29] Additionally, trellium repells other forms of Investiture, particularly harmonium. [30]

When trellium is brought into contact with superheated harmonium, it causes a massive, exceptionally destructive explosion, capable of levelling entire cities.[30] Moreover, in the aftermath of the blast, small quantities of lerasium and atium can be found.[27][31]

Faceless Immortals

“They didn't understand, couldn’t understand. The Set had Faceless Immortals of its own. ”

Autonomy appears to have the ability to take control of living bodies, even as far as on Scadrial. It is unclear what her limitations are, or if there is any requirement the person must fulfill before Autonomy can use them; it is likely that it requires Connection to Autonomy, and possibly the presence of trellium. When people are under Autonomy's control, she can make them move to their wish and speak what she wants; they can be recognized as hers by red glow in their eyes.[2] The Set calls them their "Faceless Immortals"; they do not appear aware of the Immortals' true nature.[32] It's unclear if Autonomy can return the body under the control of its original owner, or if the person is still aware of themselves while Autonomy is in control.

History

Bavadin
Para the history of Bavadin prior to taking up the Shard, ver Bavadin#History.

Early History and Isolation of Taldain

“Autonomy's policy of isolationism in recent times (in direct contrast to her interference with other planets, I might add) has prevented travel to and from Taldain for many, many years. ”

Autonomy was created in the aftermath of the Shattering of Adonalsium, and taken up by Bavadin, who carried it away from Yolen.[33] Eventually, she settled in Taldain system.[4] Someone altered the system into its current, unnatural shape, though whether this was Autonomy or some other force is unknown.[34]

Eventually, Autonomy began to enforce a policy of strict isolationism for the planet, preventing people from leaving and travellers such as Khriss from returning.[4] She also began to take a more active role in Taldain's affairs, teaching her people about advanced physics and technologies she has forseen with her powers, leading to the planet's meteoric rise as a technological powerhouse.[27] Throughout this time, however, Taldain remained isolated from the rest of the cosmere.

Avatar Creation and Alliance With Odium

Even as Taldain grew inaccessible, Autonomy started to nurture avatars of herself on various worlds, including First of the Sun.[35] At some point during this time, she has seeded the religion of Trelagism on Scadrial, presumably with the intent of later activating it and raising her own avatar on the planet.[7]

It is possible that Autonomy aided Odium in killing Devotion and Dominion in an unknown way.[36] The two Shards appear to have some form of alliance or pact preventing them from attacking each other. Odium intended to eventually break it and double-cross Autonomy, killing her off; however, he was trapped in the Rosharan system before that could happen.[37]

Millennia later, Hoid sent a message to Autonomy asking for aid with Odium and the ongoing True Desolation. The message was intercepted by her avatar on First of the Sun and the request denied, although Patji indicated that other avatars may be more inclined to assist.[38][39] At the same time, Autonomy was manifesting another avatar on Obrodai, and Patji demanded that Hoid does not return there.[26]

Trell

The Set

“One day, the men of gold and red, bearers of the final metal, will come to you. And you will be ruled by them. Worship. Worship Trell and wait… ”

At some point following the Catacendre, Autonomy decided that Scadrial's advancing technological development would be detrimental to her own goals.[1] Autonomy's initial plan for dealing with this was the creation of Set, a secret society that resurrected the long-dead religion of Trelagism as Trellism. The leaders of the Set were not aware of Autonomy's true nature and intentions, knowing her as the male Trell and interacting with her through Trell's "Faceless Immortals".[32]

While this was happening in the Physical Realm, Autonomy began the process of Investing herself into Scadrial, taking advantage of Harmony's conflicting intents to infiltrate the planet. Harmony could not understand it at the time, albeit he knew enough to visualise it to Wax as choking, pressing red haze.[41]

Set's original purpose appears to have been a takeover of the Elendel Basin, installing themselves -- and, by extension, Trell -- as the rulers of Scadrial.[42] However, the discovery of Southern Scadrians and their vastly more advanced technology led them to attempt to accelerate the timeline. Autonomy, on the other hand, decided to forego the plan to control Scadrial and opt for its complete destruction instead.[32] For this reason, she eliminated Set's then-leader, Edwarn Ladrian, and began to move her men of gold and red into Scadrian subastral of the Cognitive Realm, intending a full-blown invasion.[43]

Before this could happen, however, Telsin Ladrian somehow managed to convince Autonomy to give the Set a chance to take over the planet again. Autonomy, ever appreciative of bold, ambitious actions, responded by Investing Telsin as her avatar. However, she also granted Telsin a deadline before which the world would have to find itself under Set's control, as on a specific date, the artificial perpendicularity she was creating to let her armies in would be opened.[44]

At some point during this time, Autonomy's actions came under attention of the Ghostbloods, who began their work to stop her.[45]

Bilming

“It is not the bomb you should worry about. It is the destruction I have sent if that bomb fails. ”

—Autonomy[2]

Over the six years following the death of Edwarn Ladrian, the Set fully took control of the city of Bilming on behalf of Autonomy, up to developing it with accordance to Autonomy's philosophy and using Taldain architecture, particularly the brutalist style.[7] At the same time, they conducted underground tests in order to create a trellium-harmonium bomb.[1] The key part of the plan -- and the part of it meant to impress Autonomy -- was the delivery device: a self-propelled rocket, something that Autonomy herself was yet to figure out.[18]

During this time, Autonomy finished the process of Investing herself into the planet. About a year before her deadline, she communicated with Harmony, attempting a compromise: she would let Harmony peacefully depart Scadrial and Invest himself elsewhere, while she took control of Scadrial. Harmony rejected her offer, and was subsequently bound by Autonomy, blinding his future-sight. In response, Harmony sent his agents -- primarily Waxillium Ladrian -- to Bilming.[1]

While in Bilming, Wax and his team, as well as a group of Ghostbloods, began to unravel Set's plan. Autonomy eventually chose to speak with Wax through a dying body, warning him about the impending invasion and encouraging him to prove his desire to protect Scadrial to her.[2] Later that day, when Wax confronted Telsin, Harmony briefly disrupted Autonomy's link to her, causing Telsin to fall unconscious.[18] When Telsin came to, Autonomy abandoned her willingly, having apparently given up on her and her plans.[17]

After Wax and Wayne destroyed the Set's bomb, while Marasi destroyed the perpendicularity intended for the men of gold and red, Autonomy begrudgingly withdrew from Scadrial, acknowledging their victory.[46] However, this was only temporary -- she fully intended to regroup and return in the future.[27]

Influence

Religions

por Fritz Casas
The Sand Lord of Taldain

“Ker'Reen Philosophy, the religion of Kerztians, calls the sun the manifestation of the Sand Lord, the source of man's autonomy and independence. ”

Autonomy is widely worshipped by many of cosmere's worlds and cultures. She -- or, sometimes, he or they -- appears in various forms and under various names throughout her many religions. In some places, there are entire pantheons of gods where every member is actually a different persona of her.[7] Religions worshipping Autonomy include Ker'Reen Philosophy of Taldain, which worships her under the male persona of Sand Lord, the Eelakin faith, which considers the island of Patji, the site of the Patji avatar, one of its gods, and the Scadrian faiths of Trelagism and later Trellism, in which she is known as the god Trell.[47][14][7]

Autonomy will often seed these religions on various planets -- including those already Invested by other Shards. These are seeds of influence she can later reactivate in order to exert her influence on the planet; for example, reactivating Trelagism as Trellism with the Set.[7]

Technological and Cultural Control

“She claims she wants everyone to be individual. Gives them each a little house that is distinctive from the others, but only in a way that fits her plan, her desires. It's fake individualism. A corporate uniqueness. Like an advertisement telling people to go their own way, be their own person—by buying this product like everyone else. ”

Autonomy has consistently shared her Shardic knowledge of advanced physics and technology with her people. This has led to Taldain becoming one of cosmere's most technologically-advanced worlds, and the fastest to advance.[27] However, Autonomy has at the same time insisted on stopping Taldain from developing further than she desires, and has meddled in the planet's cultural and political development from ancient times, including manipulating specific individuals in an attempt to destroy the Diem.[25]

Presently, Autonomy has effectively isolated Taldain from the rest of the cosmere. As such, off-world travel to and from the planet has all but ceased.[48][49] This also had the result of cutting Taldain worldhoppers off from their own homeland; people like Khriss and Baon are virtual exiles.[33] Autonomy is not, however, opposed to exporting Taldain's culture -- or rather, the version of it she approves of -- to other worlds. Places under Autonomy's control, like Bilming, will eventually come to look similar to cities of Taldain, mimicking aspects such as layout and architectural style.[7]

Interplanetary Conflicts

“Autonomy has access to … some very specialized troops. Hard to control. Dangerous to unleash. ”

Autonomy herself interferes directly in a number of cosmere's worlds.[51] She might have aided Odium in killing and splintering Devotion and Dominion among other Shards.[52][36] She has been taking over multiple worlds through her avatars, with First of the Sun, Obrodai and Scadrial being known to host her avatars at one point or another.[47][14] On Scadrial in particular, through her persona of Trell, Autonomy can outright blind Harmony and attempt to bring destruction to the planet as part of her plan to prevent the rise of Scadrial as an interstellar power.[7] She appears to be influencing Roshar to an unknown degree.[53]

When subterfuge proves insufficient, Autonomy has access to more forceful methods, as she commands an army known only as the men of gold and red.[9] They are humanoid figures with golden skin and red eyes that give them their appellation, equipped with advanced firearms.[43][8] Their full capabilities are unknown; while they specialize in widespread destruction, they are reportedly difficult to control, making unleashing them an irreversible act.[50]
