Diferencia entre revisiones de «Cosmere»

Debido a que el Reino Espiritual existe más allá del espacio y el tiempo, éste, junto con la propiedad asociada de '''Fortuna''', puede ser utilizado para ver eventos en otros lugares o incluso el futuro,{{wob ref|730}}{{wob ref|10298}} aunque esto es generalmente muy difícil.{{wob ref|6304}}{{book ref|sa1|75}}

Just as there is an equivalency between mass and energy, in the cosmere these things can also be exchanged with a magical power known as [[Investiture]]. When Investiture is accounted for, the cosmere adheres to the ordinary laws of conservation and thermodynamics.{{wob ref|3544}}{{wob ref|1649}} Investiture mostly exists in the Spiritual Realm, though it is more precisely understood as transcending the Realms.{{wob ref|5610}} However, it can also exist in a "condensed" form in the Physical Realm as solid, liquid, or gas.{{msh ref|6|7}}

{{quote

When a sufficient amount of Investiture coalesces in one place in the Physical and Cognitive Realms, it creates a junction between all three Realms known as a [[perpendicularity]]. Most stable perpendicularities form from the presence of a [[Shard]] on a planet and the massive amount of Investiture they bring with them.{{au ref|Drominad}}{{wob ref|9665}} Sentient beings can use perpendicularities to travel between the Physical and Cognitive Realms, which in turn facilitates easier travel on and off a planet for those with the knowledge to use them.{{au ref|Drominad}}

=== Adonalsium ===

{{quote

}}

When the cosmere began, there was an entity known as Adonalsium; this entity is widely believed to have created the cosmere.{{wob ref|4850}} Perhaps for this reason, Adonalsium is sometimes referred to as "the power of creation."{{wob ref|6072}} Investiture was Adonalsium's power,{{wob ref|5799}} which has led cosmere scholars to conclude that either Investiture seeks intelligence because it used to be Adonalsium or that Adonalsium came into being because Investiture sought intelligence.{{wob ref|9324}}

During the [[Shattering of Adonalsium|Shattering]], Adonalsium split into sixteen pieces, referred to as [[Shard]]s of Adonalsium. Each of these Shards has an [[Intention|Intent]] that represents a particular facet of Adonalsium. Sixteen people involved in the Shattering then took up those Shards, becoming the first Vessels and effectively ascending to godhood.{{msh ref|3|2}} There was some sort of force or property of the cosmere that caused Adonalsium to shatter into the sixteen Shards that it did,{{wob ref|9956}} and the distribution of the Shards to the Vessels was not random.{{wob ref|5490}} The number sixteen has some significance to the mechanics of the cosmere,{{epigraph ref|mb3|71}}{{wob ref|1678}} though, as Adonalsium could have split into some other number of Shards,{{wob ref|11037}} it may have only become significant after the Shattering, and indeed may arise more from the beliefs of sapient creatures than a greater underlying property.{{wob ref|9428}}

=== Before the Shattering ===

{{quote

}}

At some point, the [[Dawnshard]]s were used to create the cosmere.{{book ref|sa3.5|19}}

Eventually, a group of people that opposed Adonalsium came together and plotted its destruction.{{wob ref|4078}}{{wob ref|2539}} This group included people of all three sapient species on [[Yolen]]: humans, [[dragon (cosmere)|dragons]], and [[Sho Del]].{{wob ref|9676}} To achieve their goal, they created a weapon{{wob ref|5602}} that utilized the [[Dawnshard]]s.{{book ref|sa3.5|19}} In an event known as the [[Shattering of Adonalsium]], the weapon was used to "undo" Adonalsium,{{book ref|sa3.5|19}} splitting it into the sixteen [[Shard]]s;{{msh ref|3|2}} the weapon was expended in the process,{{wob ref|2246}} though remnants of it exist in the Physical Realm and are responsible for Hoid's immortality.{{wob ref|10439}} As part of the Shattering, sixteen of the people who had opposed Adonalsium took up the new Shards and became the first Vessels.{{msh ref|3|2}} There was some sort of force that caused Adonalsium to shatter into the Shards that it did,{{wob ref|9956}} and the distribution of the Shards to the Vessels was not random.{{wob ref|5490}} The Shattering occurred on Yolen, though there is some "weirdness" with regard to Yolen and location,{{wob ref|11602}} and occurred all at once.{{wob ref|1292}} As a result of the Shattering, all Investiture in the cosmere became aligned with one of the sixteen Shards.{{wob ref|8605}}

=== Odium's Quest ===

{{quote

}}

Soon after the Shattering, or possibly even beforehand, the Vessel of Odium, Rayse, decided he wanted to become the strongest being in the cosmere.{{wob ref|6685}} However, Odium is, by its nature, selfish and Rayse did not want the intent of an additional Shard to make him into something else, so he instead decided to destroy the other Shards so that there would be no one left to challenge him.{{wob ref|6685}}{{wob ref|4130}} To do so, he developed a way to [[Splinter]] a Shard's power, which also results in the death of its Vessel.{{epigraph ref|sa1|22}}

{{quote

}}

Hoid is a mysterious worldhopper who has been alive since before the Shattering of Adonalsium and was present for that event.{{wob ref|5077}} He has collected a variety of Invested items from around the cosmere and gained access to multiple Invested Arts.{{wob ref|5077}}{{article ref|Hoid#Attributes and Abilities}} His long-term goals are unclear, but he is an adamant opponent of Odium's attempts to become the sole god of the cosmere. He has written to [[Frost]], [[Endowment]], [[Autonomy]], and [[Harmony]], hoping to enlist their help in dealing with Odium, though only Harmony has responded positively.{{article ref|Letters}} He has some ability to manipulate [[Fortune]], which lets him learn where and when he needs to be to advance his goals, though he often doesn't know why being somewhere is important.{{wob ref|2567}}{{book ref|sa2|67}}

==== The Seventeenth Shard ====

{{quote

}}

The [[Seventeenth Shard]] is a group of worldhoppers that seeks to research and study the various worlds of the cosmere without interfering in existing cultures. They believe the Shards separated for a reason and want to minimize the risk of conflict between the Shards.{{wob ref|1564}} Frost may have some influence over them, either formally or informally.{{epigraph ref|sa1|26}} They are worried about Hoid, as they fear his actions on planets will exacerbate Shardic conflict and, from at least {{rosharan date|1173}} to {{rosharan date|1175}} on the [[Roshar#Calendar|Rosharan calendar]], unsuccessfully tried to hunt him down,{{epigraph ref|sa1|26}}{{wob ref|14949}} though they have larger objectives as well.{{wob ref|7910}}

==== The Ire ====

{{quote

}}

The [[Ire]] is a group of worldhopping [[Elantrian]]s. They existed prior to the [[Reod]] and were off-world when it occurred, which may have played a role in allowing them to weather it.{{wob ref|10476}} Their objectives are unclear, though they did attempt to Ascend one of their members as the Vessel of Preservation after Leras died.{{msh ref|5|2}} At that time, they were at least associated with a group whose forces were keeping the [[Shade]]s of [[Threnody]] contained in the [[Threnodite system]].{{msh ref|5|2}} They have some method of storing and transporting Investiture, which they use to sustain themselves and trade with others, such as the [[honorspren]] of [[Lasting Integrity]].{{msh ref|5|3}}{{wob ref|1542}}{{wob ref|200}}{{book ref|sa4|87}}
