⚫ | The Shard Ambition was created when [[Adonalsium]] was Shattered by a group of people on [[Yolen]].{{msh ref|3|2}} Uli Da took up Ambition and Ascended, later making her way to the [[Threnodite]] system, where it was uncertain whether or not she Invested herself in the system.{{au ref|threnodite}} Ambition may have settled on the planet [[Threnody]] for some time, where some measure of Investiture was in existence, although its origin is unknown. Shortly after the Shattering, the Shard [[Odium]] arrived in the system. Ambition and Odium fought one another in the space between the planets, struggling in all three [[Realmatic Theory|Realms]]. [[Mercy]] was also part of the conflict.{{epigraph ref |row|27}} Odium gained the upper hand, mortally wounding Ambition and tearing off chunks of her power, which altered the people of Threnody, as well as the planets in the system. Ambition managed to escape the system, but she was killed and [[Splinter|Splintered]] in another location, likely finished off by Odium.{{au ref|threnodite}} This left a wound on the Spiritual Realm, and affected Threnody in "disturbing" ways.{{epigraph ref|sa4|27}} |
