A '''Splinter''' is a specific type of fragment of Investiture ultimately derived from Adonalsium. These Splinters exist comprised of a single Shard's power or the Investiture of multiple Shards. They are present in many worlds of the cosmere, sometimes in abundant qualities or as self-aware personalities while other times they are absent altogether or exist simply as a chunk of raw power guided by something else.

 

At its core, a Splinter is a significant measure of a Shard's power that has been separated from the main body of Investiture. A Splinter has never been a person,{{wob ref|4541}} although it may serve to create a Cognitive Shadow, most of which would be considered Splinters.{{wob ref|8757}} It is worth noting that there is some difference between a physical manifestation Investiture such as [[atium]] and [[lerasium]] or prpendicularities and a Splinter. While a Shard's power is never truly separated as it is all connected through the Spiritual Realm,{{cite}} Splinters represent power that has been released or removed by a Shard.{{wob ref|986}} Splinters tend to not have much in the way of a Physical aspect, as a chunk of Investiture it tends to be more rooted in the Cognitive and Spiritual Realms.{{wob ref|4066}} One distinguishing factor of a Splinter is that it may often have an intent of its own, separate from that of the parent Shard.{{wob ref|10089}} While many Splinters are comprised of Investiture of a single Shard, in the case of some Splinters they may actually be comprised of the Investiture or two or more Shards.

 

 

 

 

There are other places where Splinters must exist that we know less about as of yet. The Shard Ambition is known to have been Splintered by Odium so it stands to reason that Splinters of that Shard exist somewhere in the cosmere. Another open ended question is whether or not the shades known to manifest on Threnody which are Cognitive Shadows contain a Splinter or not.
