m (Should be capitalized in this context, due to being the start of a sentence, technically. Also changed "the name virtuosity" to "the word virtuosity", as I feel that is more accurate to the sentence, as the confusion over definition I have observed is far expansive than just discussions concerning this Shard.) |

Virtuosity is a Shard of Adonalsium who Splintered herself. The Vessel was an unknown female.[1]
Intent
Virtuosity's Intent concerns artistic intent, and artistic talent, and artistic appreciation.[2]
History
Like all Shards, Virtuosity was created at the Shattering of Adonalsium and picked up by an unknown Vessel.[3][4] In the millennia that followed, Virtuosity primarily spent her time exploring various artistic expressions throughout the cosmere, and consequently never settled in one location for very long.[5]
At some point, Virtuosity Splintered herself for unknown reasons in the UTol system, in the vicinity of Komashi.[1] Design asserts that the entire region is filled with Splinters of Virtuosity in the wake of this.[6] Hoid believes that her Splintering may have contributed to the odd way UTol is visible through the shroud on Komashi.[1]
Trivia
- The word "Virtuosity" is often mistaken to be related to the notion of "virtue". The term actually refers to the characteristics of a virtuoso: someone having outstanding talents or technical abilities, especially in the arts.
- Brandon considered naming the Shard "Artistry", but felt the name "Virtuosity" fit with other Shard names, like Odium, better.[2]
- A future book will explore Virtuosity's story.[7]
