Editing Shardpool

{{uncanonical}}

'''Shardpool''' is a non-canon term used to describe liquid Investiture of a [[Shard]]. The liquid is often collected into a pool of oddly colored water, these pools can appear on any planet that a Shard has stayed on for an extended length of time.

== Known Pools ==

;[[Well of Ascension]]

This pool is connected to the Shard of [[Preservation]] and was originally located high in the mountains, then later located under the city of [[Luthadel]].

;[[Pits of Hathsin]]

The [[Pits of Hathsin]] are not a true pool, the pool exists under the pits. This Pool Is connected to the power of the Shard of [[Ruin]]. The Pits feed off the pool located below them to create [[atium]], the solid form of Ruin's Power.{{qa ref|691|15|does Ruin have a shardpool?|date=May, 2010}} Before the [[Lord Ruler]]'s ascension, the pool was located above ground, as a black lake high in the Terris mountains.{{book ref|mb1|33}}{{twg ref|6655|129235|A manifestation of Ruin's gathered consciousness, much like the dark mists in book two.|date=2008-10-19|poster=EUOL}}

;[[Devotion's Shardpool]]

This pool is found near the city of [[Elantris]] and is a location for [[Elantrian]]s to go to die. This pool does not yet have a unique name associated with it and seems to have gained intelligence on its own. It is capable of dissolving people placed in it.

;[[Patji's Eye]]

Is a natural manifestation of Investiture and is much smaller than most others.{{qa ref|1116|9| What is the nature of the pool on Patji? |date=Mar 12th, 2015}}

;[[Horneater Peaks]]

Apparently the same as the Pool near [[Elantris]].{{qa ref|1092|1|Are the Elantrian pool and Horneater lake connected?|date=Nov 29th, 2014}} This pool will kill people if they are not a Horneater. This may be an oversimplification it maybe a Specific sub set of Horneaters that can swim there and live.

== Alternate uses ==

Shardpools can be used by some people to [[worldhop]].{{qa ref|1091|2|I've picked up in bits in pieces that it's possible, for some people at least, to use the Shardpools to worldhop...|date=November 29th, 2014}}

== Theories ==

{{Theory}}

It is also thought that there is a Shardpool somewhere underground near [[Hallandren]] in [[Nalthis]], which allows the [[Tears of Edgli]] to grow.
