'''Bavadin''' is the original and current Vessel of the [[Shard]] [[Autonomy]].{{wob ref|7266}}{{wob ref|7641}} She is the only Shard of [[Taldain]], where she's invested in one of the local suns.{{wob ref|4021}}{{au ref|Taldain}}{{wob ref|6875}}

Though she herself is female, Bavadin has a habit of taking on multiple forms and appearances. She has several male and female personas, and will often
Bavadin's interpretation of Autonomy lends itself to strict isolationism; she forbids travel to and from [[Taldain]], to the detriment of worldhoppers from that planet.
▲Bavadin's interpretation of Autonomy lends itself to strict isolationism; she forbids travel to and from [[Taldain]], to the detriment of worldhoppers from that planet. However, she is willing to meddle in the affairs of other worlds.{{au ref|Taldain}}{{wob ref|2571}} She is fond of creating avatars, sapient entities which hold a portion of Autonomy's power but are independent of her.{{wob ref|9385}} Their personalities are carefully shaped by Bavadin. At least one of them is haughty and self-assured, although it seems it is not a trait shared by all others, and thus it's unclear if Bavadin herself is like this.{{book ref|sa3|47}}
== Abilities and Attributes ==
{{image|Autonomy by zoethatcher.jpg|side=right|width=250px|Bavadin and her avatars}}
Bavadin is a Vessel of a [[Shard]], making her ageless, incorporeal and incredibly powerful. Whether Autonomy grants her any unique strengths or abilities is unknown, though she has the capability to bar people from accessing [[Taldain]] through the [[Cognitive Realm]].{{au ref|Taldain}} She seems to be a skilled and keen actor, capable of assuming dozens of made-up personas; there are entire pantheons of gods where every deity is actually Bavadin in a different disguise.{{wob ref|3974}}
== History ==
Like all original Vessels, Bavadin came from [[Yolen]].{{wob ref|7939}} She and a number of others killed the creator-god, [[Adonalsium]], and split up his power into sixteen pieces.{{msh ref|3|2}} Bavadin herself picked up the piece which became Autonomy and departed Yolen, eventually winding up in [[Taldain]], where she [[Investiture|Invested]] herself in the local sun.{{au ref|Taldain}}

▲Bavadin seems to have had some alliance with [[Rayse]], the prior Vessel of [[Odium]], although whether this alliance still stands with Taravangian, Odium's new vessel, is unclear. She assisted Rayse in splintering the shards of [[Devotion]] and [[Dominion]], though the extent and nature of this assistance is unknown.{{wob ref|2614}} [[Hoid]] holds a deep grudge against both Bavadin and Rayse, for unknown, but related reasons.{{wob ref|10630}} Bavadin herself doesn't seem to be overly fond of Hoid either, though they two have had a prior relationship of some nature.{{epigraph ref|sa3|42}} In the present, her avatars deeply dislike Hoid, and at least one of them -- the [[Obrodai]] avatar -- has been instilled with deep dislike of him as a precaution.{{epigraph ref|sa3|50}}
== Trivia ==
* Among the original Vessels, [[Brandon]] is very fond of Bavadin.{{wob ref|6874}} Part of the reason he regrets moving on from ''[[White Sand]]'' is that he cannot properly introduce Bavadin in-story just yet.{{wob ref|3974}}
