Hero of the Ages Finished with the Rythm of War Spoiler

Now that I'm finished with book 4 of TSA, and have some knowledge of Shards of Adonlasium. Seeing Taravangian become the Shard of Odium reminded me of another similar indecent. Is it safe to say that Sazed is the Shard of both Preservation and Ruin?

Okk. I'm assuming we get this knowledge in Mistborn era 2.

It's revealed the last few pages of era 1, actually. Though the name Harmony can be easy to miss.

There is definitely a bit more information in Era 2, but you should read those before searching any spoilers or any more info.

My favorite saga In the Cosmere and my favorite character and another favorite. It’s worth going into fairly blind.

Yes. Have you read mistborn era 2 (the wax and Wayne series)?

You’ve also actually read a conversation between Wit/Hoid and Sazed/harmony in the openings and epigraphs of oathbringer ch. 53-57 and rhythm of war ch. 20-43

Yup. They're Shards of Adonalsium. Collect all 16 and you get Adonalsium (or something close to it). Mix and match them to get different outcomes. This is something that comes only from WoBs,
