=== Legacy ===
The Shattering occurred longroughly before10,000 otheryears notablebefore the events inof the[[The cosmereStormlight Archive]].{{wob ref|1355}}{{wob ref|9683}}{{wob ref|2728}} In the centuries that followed, the Shards settled on other worlds and began using their new power to shape the cosmere in new ways. New magic systems were developed, and manifestations of Investiture which previously existed were changed in some small ways.{{wob ref|8357}}{{wob ref|3314}} Adonalsium's name was eventually forgotten in much of the cosmere,{{book ref|sa1|54}}{{epigraph ref|mb3|39}} though [[worldhopper]]s remember at least some of its history{{msh ref|3|2}} and [[Shalash]] appears to still revere it still as divinity.{{book ref|sa3|121}}

With access to future sight, Adonalsium may have actually anticipated the Shattering. While it apparently took no successful measures to prevent the attack, it may have laid certain plans in place which are still in effect.{{wob ref|8443}} It is also possible that a [[cognitive shadow]] of Adonalsium was left in its place following the Shattering.{{wob ref|8509}}
Scholars disagree as to whether Adonalsium could be reformed by reuniting the sixteen Shards of its power.{{wob ref|4762}} Though some theorize this may be possible, others argue that it would not restore that which was "killed"."{{wob ref|5993}} Other evidence suggests that uniting all sixteen Shards would prove impossible, or that any being attempting to do so would be destroyed.{{wob ref|5329}} Regardless of the possibility, some additionally believe that this should not be attempted for one reason or another.{{wob ref|5276}}
