The '''Shards of [[Adonalsium]]''', or '''Shards''' for short, are pieces of the power of creation itself.<ref name='allomancy'>{{twgref|6655.msg129205#msg129205?|TWG Hero of Ages}} {{wotdb727|66245|24|Q 24.3}} Allomancy is fueled by Preservation's body?</ref>}}
They are named after a specific action or ideal, called an [[intent]]. A mind must control a Shard. When a person holds a Shard, they are imbued with its power, but they also become the Shard.<{{ref name='goodreads_shards'>[[Brandonology#Goodreads 2.0|Goodreads 2.0]] Q: ?|672|21|Barring the Almighty(Honor), did we seensee aany ShardholderShards (like Sazed) in this book[TWoK]?</ref>}}
Despite this, fans have created the term '''Shardholder''' to refer to the person who holds a Shard (not to be confused with [[Shardbearer]]), but this term is not canonical.
 
There are sixteen Shards<ref name='TWoK_e11'>{{brefref|b|TWoK|e|11}}</ref>, and they are the most powerful known entities in the [[cosmere]].
They are related to many, if not all, magic systems, and for practical purposes, they are gods.

|Even now, I can barely grasp the scope of all this. The events surrounding the end of the world seem even larger than the Final Empire and the people within it.<br><br>
<br />
I have delved and searched, and have only been able to come up with a single name:
'''Adonalsium'''. Who, or what, it was, I do not yet know.
|the [[Hero of Ages]]<ref name='THoA_e39'>{{brefref|b|THoA|e|39}}</ref>, emphasis added
}}
 
It is not known what [[Adonalsium]] is, whether it be a person or a great power.
Since Shards have been called pieces of the power of creation<{{ref name='allomancy'/>|?|727|45}}, it is theorized that Adonalsium is in fact the power of creation.
Regardless of its nature, Adonalsium was [[The Shattering|Shattered]], and thus the Shards of Adonalsium came into being.
[[The Way of Kings]] heavily implies there are sixteen Shards.<ref name='TWoK_e11'>{{brefref|b|TWoK|e|11}}</ref>
 
These Shards are named after their respective [[intent]], which represents the driving force of the power<{{ref name='THoA_a58B'>[http://www.brandonsanderson.com/annotation/329/Mistborn-3-Chapter-Fifty-Eight-Part-2 THoA Annotation |b|mb3|a|58, Part Two]</ref>}}--an aspect of creation.
However, after the Shattering, the Shards were left with no mind to control the power.
For [[Realmatic]] reasons, a mind--Cognitive power--must be attached to the Spiritual power of the Shard. People eventually took up these Shards, like [[Rayse]] and [[Bavadin]], who share some history with whoever wrote [[the Letter]].
 
When a person takes up a Shard, the extreme power vaporizes the body, allowing the person’s mind to expand.<{{ref name='allomancy'/>|?|727|45}}
From then on, the person’s consciousness feeds on the power of the Shard to remain alive<{{ref name='THoA_a58B'>[http://www.brandonsanderson.com/annotation/329/Mistborn-3-Chapter-Fifty-Eight-Part-2 THoA Annotation |b|mb3|a|58, Part Two]</ref>}}, but the Shard’s intent is the driving force of the power.
Over an immense time--centuries, perhaps millennia--a Shardholder’s mind begins to change, slowly molding to the Shard’s intent.<{{ref name='THoA_a57'>[http://www.brandonsanderson.com/annotation/326/Mistborn-3-Chapter-Fifty-Seven THoA Annotation |b|mb3|a|57]</ref><ref name='may2010_q17'>}}{{17sref|614?|691|May 2010 Q&A, Question 17}}</ref>

It is not clear who the original Shardholders were, or where they came from.
Over time, Shardholders begin referring to themselves as their Shard’s name (though they do remember their original selves<{{ref name='Europe-names'>[[Brandonology#Europe Tour|Europe Tour]], Q: ?|700|5|Do they(Shards) still remember their original namenames?</ref>}}
They eventually scattered throughout the cosmere, taking residence on several different [[Shardworlds]] and influencing events on their given planet.
Ruin and Preservation made a pact to create life on Scadrial,<ref name='THoA_e53'>{{brefref|b|THoAmb3|e|53}}</ref> and constructed humans in the form which they have seen before<ref name='THoA_c76'>{{brefref|b|THoAmb3|c|76}}</ref>--presumably on the planet where Adonalsium and these Shardholders came from.
Judging from humanity on other Shardworlds, the Shards on those worlds probably created humanity there, too.
However, the Shardworlds existed before the Shards arrived there<{{ref name='Europe-names'>[[Brandonology#Europe Tour|Europe Tour]], Q: ?|700|3|Who names the planets?</ref>}} so there is a case to be made that humans already were present during the Shards’ arrivals.
 
Often, a Shardholder’s original name is mentioned in some form on their world.
Atium is named after Ati, lerasium after Leras, and those condensed essences of their Shards’ power.
AonDor is derived from Aona, a Shardholder on Sel.<ref name='TWoK_e22'>{{brefref|b|TWoK|e|22}}</ref>
 
At this point, all known magic in the cosmere is related to a Shard.
It appears that the bond between human and Shard is permanent.
The only evidence of Shards changing hands after the original Shardholders are when a Shard dies.
When that dies, the person’s original body rematerializes and falls to the ground as a corpse.<ref>{{brefref|THoAb|mb3|e|56}}</ref>
 
Ruin and Preservation were drawn together because they were such perfect opposites<ref name='May2010_q9'>{{17sref|?|614691|May9|Are 2010all Q&A,Shards Question 9paired?}}</ref> (though not all Shards have pairs like those ones do<ref name='May2010_q8'>{{17sref|614?|May 2010 Q&A, Question 8691|9}}</ref>).
Direct confrontation between their two powers was excruciatingly painful, and they eventually destroyed each other.
It is not clear whether if any two Shards collided, they would both die, or if this was simply an effect of Ruin and Preservation having such opposite intents.
 
It is implied that not all Shards are equal.
Rayse is said to hold the most dangerous of the sixteen, Odium.<ref name='TWoK_e19'>{{brefref|b|TWoK|e|19}}</ref><ref>{{brefref|b|TWoK|c|46}}</ref>
It is unknown what makes Odium inherently so dangerous, whether it is due to the intent, or because Odium actually has more power than other Shards.

|One need only look at the aftermath of his brief visit to Sel to see proof of what I say. In case you have turned a blind eye to that disaster, know that Aona and Skai are both dead, and that which they held has been Splintered. Presumably to prevent anyone from rising up to challenge Rayse.
|[[The Letter]]<{{ref name='TWoK_e22'/>|b|TWoK|e|22}}

It is unknown if Odium is special in his ability to Splinter a Shard, but regardless, the person who wrote [[the Letter]] is terrified of Odium’s power.
 
If Brandon were to do a novel where different magic systems collide as the focus of the book, he refers to it as a '''conflux''' book.<{{ref name='conflux'>[[Brandonology#17th shard|17th Shard Interview]], Q: ?|692|12|Will you ever write a book or series where different magic systems come into the same world?</ref>}}
 
The [[Seventeenth Shard]] are not a Shard of Adonalsium, but rather an organization of people who hop between worlds.<ref name='17S_intro'>[http://www.17thshard.com/forum/topic/6-welcome-to-17th-shard/ Welcome to 17th Shard]</ref>
