Shards and Keys

#alex 4-6-25: Eclipse(s) are likely related to the cult's attempts to free Seradez. Tommen's words after transformation might imply that the Wandering Shard meens to crash land on the material once freed.

A God - or a godspawn, like a Dragon - and willing keys would be able to undo the seal holding back 8th god (Seradez).

There are 8 keys, one for each temple to Serades - one in conjunction with each of her fellow gods, and one dedicated to herself.

The Cult of the Wandering Shard, who cella themselves the Revealers, know these locations because they stole them after seceding from The Ruby Disciples.

Shards are introduced to (kids?) by the cult
the shard (and kid) are then transformed by the ritual we interrupted
the outcome is then what? A key?

In Ravik's vision with Sardior, the god specifically says that "Tural deserves his shard back, even if the key was lost."

Shard --> Kid --> Ritual --> Key --> Godhater
(Maybe not because of what Sardior says here

Pink Mote

(Sardior)

"...have failed to take the shard, but they have taken the key."

Shard --> Kid --> Ritual --> ? --> Godhater

Gemdragons were created to be protectors? of the shards.
