WOR Signing Table Q&A (Verbatim)Question
The Seventeenth Shard--is their purpose limited solely to tracking down Hoid? Or is it something grander than that?Brandon Sanderson
No, they have other stuff. It is something grander than that.
Question
He's just one of many priorities?
Brandon Sanderson
Yes. They are very worried about what he's going to be doing.
Question
But there's others they're worried about as well?
Brandon Sanderson
Yes. [...] So they have a task, they have goals, and they are worried that he is going to be at cross purposes to them, so they are trying to hunt him down.

Brandon Sanderson RAFOlympics at JordanCon 8 (Verbatim)Question
In Secret History, is Khriss working with the 17th Shard at that time?Brandon Sanderson
Khriss works with anybody who is interested in the information that she has. She is a...no, not a freelancer, really, she is a...She’d get along with Edward Snowden, right? She is for the good of the Cosmere in her opinion, she is providing this information. She thinks it’ll be useful for everyone. So if the 17th Shard comes to her and says “We want to know this” and she knows it, she will tell them. If Hoid comes to her and says “I want to know this”, she would tell him. So Khriss will work with anyone who she thinks their motives are...are for the good of the Cosmere in general.Question
Not strictly a mercenary…?
Brandon Sanderson
No, not a mercenary, she’s kind of a freedom of information type person.

Interview: Dec 6th, 2016
Harold Washington Library Center-AU Tour (Paraphrased)Question
Are there requirements to join the Seventeenth Shard, and would they accept, for lack of a better term, a non-enhanced member?Brandon Sanderson
Yes and yes. Well, um, Baon is not Invested.Question
Well, what would they not like? We know they don’t like Hoid, and what he’s doing, but…Brandon Sanderson
They do like what Khriss is doing, alright? This is an acceptable thing to them.Question
What about when people start integrating themselves in [a] culture, is that gonna make problems?Brandon Sanderson
They would prefer that people didn’t do that.Question
So not Vasher?Brandon Sanderson
Vasher is very far from being the Seventeenth Shard! VERRRY far. [laughter]Argent
Is it fair to say that they are a community of scholars?Brandon Sanderson
They are a community-- well they are not all scholars, so I wouldn’t say that. I would say they are interested parties who do not want any planets to get destroyed.Question
So they’re the Apocalypse Guard?Brandon Sanderson
They aren’t really able to prevent these sorts of things. They’re like...Oh what are they called in DC...But those guys are powerful though, so it’s not like that, but you can imagine it’s something like that, right? We’re watching, studying, we’re investigating and we’re trying to prevent... They’re like Starfleet right? They’ve got some Starfleet stuff right? We’re gonna go research and study these people, but we shouldn’t be involved. It’s less about Prime Directive, and more about what it’s something to do that it exacerbates the conflict between the Shards. The Shards split up for a reason, is what they think, and they should continue to be split up, and we should not dabble in bringing them back together.Tags
