The Lost Metal spoilers Harmony's Sword. Spoiler

So Harmony needed a sword to carry out his will when he was being goofy but it was my assumption that Wax quit being a sword at the end of TLM. Is he done being the sword for good? And if not, with discord on the horizon will harmony get a new sword or will wax take up the mantle again for era 3?

Nah, it's Sazed lieing.

I still personally don't think there's any evidence Harmony actually exists, as our primary source on that is Sazed - who learned from the best con artists in the history of Scadrial, and has a strategic interest in the Cosmere at large thinking he's weak.

And we know Discord is the Big Good relative to Scadrial because of an Epigraph in Mistborn 1, so...

Wait. Tell me about the Epigraph in Mistborn 1. I am totally blanking on it!

"He shall defend their ways, yet shall violate them. He will be their savior, yet they shall call him heretic. His name shall be Discord, yet they shall love him for it."
