“Sixteen people, together, killed Adonalsium, ripping it apart and dividing its essence between them, becoming the first who Ascended. ”
The Shattering of Adonalsium (or simply, the Shattering) was a pivotal moment in the history of the cosmere when Adonalsium was killed.[1] Prior to this, there were no Shards, which have been the dominant influence in the cosmere we've seen so far. Brandon has stated that he currently imagines it to be about 6,000 years before the Stormlight Archive Prelude, or 11,000 years before The Way of Kings, but he might change his mind in the future.[2]
Prior to the Shattering
It is not clear how different the cosmere was prior to the Shattering, but the Shattering did have an effect on the magic.[3] An example of a magic that changed dramatically is the highstorms.[4]
Events
The sixteen people who killed Adonalsium all had different motivations, including a desire for power and a belief in the necessity of the action.[1] Hoid was there at the Shattering and was offered a Shard, but he refused.[5] All of the sixteen Shards were created at once, and they all started with the same amount of Investiture.[6][7] All of the Investiture in the cosmere was divided between and became associated with a Shard.[8] It was not random which Vessel got which Shard.[9] It is possible for Adonalsium to have Shattered into different Shards.[10]
