=== Arrival of Trell ===
The Shard he detected encroaching upon Scadrial turned out to be [[Autonomy]], who claimed the planet for themselves and their [[Shard#Creating Sapience|Avatars]].
Harmony is indirectly using [[Waxillium Ladrian]] by way of his [[Wax's earring|earring]] as a pawn, doing his work in the [[Physical Realm]]. He assigned the kandra [[Paalm]] to play the human Lessie and protect Wax during his time as a lawman in the Roughs.{{book ref|mb5|26}} Paalm eventually removed one of her [[Blessing|Spikes]] to avoid Harmony's control.{{book ref|mb5|7}} She took the alias of Bleeder and attempted to overthrow Harmony's control of mankind.{{book ref|mb5|6}}{{book ref|mb5|11}} She was stopped by Wax who fired a Hemalurgic bullet into her skull, allowing Harmony to regain control of her.{{book ref|mb5|26}} Wax learned of Harmony's manipulation and felt used.▼

Later on, the kandra [[VenDell]] and [[MeLaan]] implied that Harmony was getting distracted and were worried that something bad was happening on Scadrial. Sazed confirmed this to Wax during their conversation after his temporary death, showing him a red glow around the planet from some unknown hostile force. Wax confronted Harmony about his interference and lack of assistance. Harmony explained that he could not always intervene because mankind would only ask for more help and always be dissatisfied. He gave Wax the option of moving on to the Beyond or going back, and Wax chose to go back.{{book ref|mb6|28}}
At some point before this, he became unstable and his [[Intent]] began to shift towards Discord. This is shown through the manifestation of a shadowy reflection of Harmony which closely follows him.{{book ref|mb7|26}}{{book ref|mb7|71}}{{book ref|mb7|epilogue|4}} Telsin, a burgeoning Avatar of Automy, believed that Harmony choose Wax as his Sword because he knew that he would eventually become Discord, this suggests that he was starting to fall beforehand, as he began to look for a sword many years before.{{epigraph ref|sa4|29}}{{book ref|mb7|66}}
Around 348 PC, he was forcibly Invested by Autonomy, and through this blinded.{{book ref|mb7|19}} This, along with his knowledge of the harmonium-trellium bomb that the Set have discovered and the formation of an Avatar of Autonomy on Scadrial, led him to requesting Wax to once again become his Sword, a request to which he agreed.{{book ref|mb7|19}}
He spoke to and stood by Wayne as he tried to stop the Set's bomb from destroying Elendel.{{book ref|mb7|71}} Following Wayne's death from the explosion, he presented himself to him in the Cognitive Realm as he began to be pulled into the Beyond, having a conversation and answering his questions before he disappeared forever.{{book ref|mb7|74}}
