'''Edgli''' is the Vessel of the [[Shard]] [[Endowment]].{{wob ref|6590}}{{wob ref|2106}} The [[Tears of Edgli]] are named after her.
== Intent ==
 
Endowment's intent is not entirely clear; it's likely related to giving or bestowing gifts or talents upon others. The intent does not seem to influence [[Edgli]] in all manners, as she is still capable of refusing giving aid to [[Hoid]].{{epigraph ref|sa3|41}} The prime example of the intent's influence is in the magic system of [[Awakening]], as [[Breath]] can only be given, and cannot be forcefully taken.{{book ref|wb|prologue}}

Edgli's appearance and even species are unknown; when speaking to the [[Returned]], she has a calm, comforting voice. To them, she is gentle and kind, offering the possibility of coming back without pressuring them into it.{{book ref|wb|57}} In private, however, she's a lot less personable. She's uninterested in meddling with the [[cosmere]] beyond [[Nalthis]], and dislikes the idea of [[Shard]]s interfering with one another; at the same time, she meddles with Nalthis itself extensively through the Returned.{{wob ref|7652}}{{epigraph ref|sa3|39}} She's said to be erratic, particularly when it comes to the manner in which she picks the people to Return.{{wob ref|3443}}
Nalthis' only known magic system is [[Awakening]] -- the use of [[Breath]], Endowment's [[Investiture]] in gaseous form, to enact a variety of effects, typically tied to animating inanimate objects. Every Nalthian is born with a single Breath, and can bestow it onto other people or objects. Giving away one's Breath makes one into a drab, which makes one prone to depression and sickness.{{wob ref|7340}} By contrast, holding more Breath bestows a variety of benefits, the number of which increases with the number of Breaths held; the tiers where one acquires new abilities are called [[Heightening]]s.{{book ref|wb|part=ars}}
 
   
  +
Though she calls [[Hoid]] "Dearest Cephandrius", she seems to dislike him quite heavily; she is frustrated with his visits to her territory, chastises him for refusing to become a Vessel, and generally tells him off for trying to interfere with the matters above what she perceives to be his weight class.{{epigraph ref|sa3|33}}{{epigraph ref|sa3|41}} She appears to be more amicable when speaking with [[Harmony]].{{epigraph ref|sa4|24}} While it might be due to both of them being Shards, she does not extend the same courtesy to [[Uli Da]], and is dismissive of [[Aona]] and [[Skai]]'s fate.{{epigraph ref|sa3|40}}{{epigraph ref|sa3|37}}
Breaths are bestowed upon others with [[Command]]s. The primary command is "My life to yours. My Breath become yours." However, hundreds of other Commands can be used to bestow Breath onto inanimate objects or dead bodies. Through this, they can be animated to perform a specific task. Commands can range from simple, such as "Hold when thrown" to complex, such as "Fetch keys".{{book ref|wb|46}} The more complex the Command, the more Breath it requires.{{book ref|wb|21}} Additionally, animating objects with Breath requires color; a nearby source of vivid color is required, and will be bleached, in order for the Command to take effect.{{book ref|wb|21}}

== Abilities and Attributes ==
Breaths can also be used to manipulate and store memories, although specifics of how are unclear.{{book ref|sa4|epilogue}}{{book ref|wb|49}}

As a Vessel of the Shard [[Endowment]], Edgli is immortal and immensely powerful; she can even bring the recently-dead back to life through bestowing her [[splinter]]s, Divine [[Breath]], upon them.{{wob ref|6724}}{{wob ref|143}} Like other Shards, she is capable of perceiving the future, though it's unknown how good she is at it.{{book ref|wb|57}} She does, however, rank higher than most in being able to spot [[Hoid]], as she declares herself perfectly capable of detecting his "intrusions" on [[Nalthis]] regardless of what disguise he uses.{{epigraph ref|sa3|35}} It's unclear whether this is some capacity granted to her by her particular Shard, or simply her own keen mind.
=== Divine Breath and the Returned ===
 
{{for|Returned}}
 
 
Endowment can create splinters of herself called Divine Breaths, and bestow them upon the recently deceased.{{wob ref|4486}} This brings them back to life; such people are known as the [[Returned]]. The Returned have little to no memory of their previous life, but they do retain any skills they've had while alive.{{wob ref|5062}}{{book ref|wb|30}} Their appearance also changes, in accordance to how they perceive themselves and the influence of local culture on their image of a "god". With some skill, the Returned can change their appearance to some extent, though it is no true shapeshifting.{{wob ref|5840}}
 
 
The Divine Breath immediately grants the Returned the effects of the Fifth [[Heightening]]. However, the Returned must consume at least one Breath a week; otherwise, after their Divine Breath is consumed and, with nothing to support their existence, they die.{{book ref|wb|3}} They can also choose to bestow their Divine Breath upon others, which typically results in a massive feat of power, often tied to healing. This will, likewise, kill them.{{book ref|wb|12}} This act is often tied to the reason they were Returned in the first place -- a potential Returned is shown a vision of the future by Endowment, and chooses to come back based on that, although the memory of it fades away until it is needed.{{book ref|wb|57}}
 
 
=== The Tears of Edgli ===
 
{{for|Tears of Edgli}}
 
 
The [[Tears of Edgli]] are a special flower that grows only in [[Hallandren]], near Endowment's [[perpendicularity]].{{book ref|wb|22}}{{wob ref|13871}} They come in a variety of colors and make for extremely good dye; they are also more efficient when used as a source of color for [[Awakening]].{{wob ref|7969}} This is because, having grown near the perpendicularity, the Tears contain some of Endowment's investiture seeping out of the ground.{{wob ref|13871}}
 
 
=== Other ===
 
Endowment has some capacity to perceive the future and bestow those visions upon others; she communes with people as a disembodied voice to do so.{{book ref|wb|57}} She also has the capacity to smite people on her planet.{{wob ref|11815}} Perhaps related to this, she appears to have keen awareness of who enters and leaves her planet; she is capable of detecting [[Hoid]]'s presence where other [[Shards]] have trouble spotting him on their own planets.{{epigraph ref|sa3|35}}

Endowment wrote the [[Letters#First Oathbringer Letter|first Oathbringer letter]] to [[Hoid]]. She believes that [[Rayse]] is not a threat and is unsympathetic to the deaths of [[Aona]] and [[Skai]], as they had broken their pact.
 
 
Later she was contacted by [[Harmony]]. She responded favourably to his overtures.{{epigraph ref|sa4|24}}

—Edgli[1]

Edgli is the Vessel of the Shard Endowment.[2][3] The Tears of Edgli are named after her.

Appearance and Personality

Good riddance.

—Edgli on Uli Da's death[4]

Edgli's appearance and even species are unknown; when speaking to the Returned, she has a calm, comforting voice. To them, she is gentle and kind, offering the possibility of coming back without pressuring them into it.[5] In private, however, she's a lot less personable. She's uninterested in meddling with the cosmere beyond Nalthis, and dislikes the idea of Shards interfering with one another; at the same time, she meddles with Nalthis itself extensively through the Returned.[6][7] She's said to be erratic, particularly when it comes to the manner in which she picks the people to Return.[8]

Though she calls Hoid "Dearest Cephandrius", she seems to dislike him quite heavily; she is frustrated with his visits to her territory, chastises him for refusing to become a Vessel, and generally tells him off for trying to interfere with the matters above what she perceives to be his weight class.[9][10] She appears to be more amicable when speaking with Harmony.[11] While it might be due to both of them being Shards, she does not extend the same courtesy to Uli Da, and is dismissive of Aona and Skai's fate.[4][12]

Abilities and Attributes

As a Vessel of the Shard Endowment, Edgli is immortal and immensely powerful; she can even bring the recently-dead back to life through bestowing her splinters, Divine Breath, upon them.[13][14] Like other Shards, she is capable of perceiving the future, though it's unknown how good she is at it.[5] She does, however, rank higher than most in being able to spot Hoid, as she declares herself perfectly capable of detecting his "intrusions" on Nalthis regardless of what disguise he uses.[1] It's unclear whether this is some capacity granted to her by her particular Shard, or simply her own keen mind.

History

Like all Vessels, Edgli is a native of Yolen.[15] She participated in the Shattering of Adonalsium, and took up one of the Shards, Endowment.[16] Honoring the deal that the Vessels made, to each go their own ways, she set out of Yolen and eventually wound up on Nalthis, Investing herself in it and becoming its sole Shard.[7][17]

Trivia

  • Edgli is the author of the first of the letters in Oathbringer epigraphs.
  • The "E" in her name is pronounced as "eh", like in the word "echo".[18]
