| + | Endowment's magic system is [[Awakening]], which matches its intent: [[Breath]] can be gifted (endowed) to others, and also used to impart "life" to inanimate objects. |
||
| + | Endowment is responsible for the [[Returned]].{{wob ref|5943}} A [[Splinter]] of Endowment known as a [[divine Breath]] is what resurrects the Returned and grants them their abilities.{{wob ref|4486}} |

||
| + | The Shard of Endowment was created, like all others, at the [[Shattering]] of [[Adonalsium]], and picked up by [[Edgli]].{{wob ref|2106}} Eventually, she settled in [[Nalthian system]]. |
||
| + | === Letters to Hoid === |
||
| − | Edgli's appearance and even species are unknown; when speaking to the [[Returned]], she has a calm, comforting voice. To them, she is gentle and kind, offering the possibility of coming back without pressuring them into it.{{book ref|wb|57}} In private, however, she's a lot less personable. She's uninterested in meddling with the [[cosmere]] beyond [[Nalthis]], and dislikes the idea of [[Shard]]s interfering with one another; at the same time, she meddles with Nalthis itself extensively through the Returned.{{wob ref|7652}}{{epigraph ref|sa3|39}} She's said to be erratic, particularly when it comes to the manner in which she picks the people to Return.{{wob ref|3443}} |
||
| + | Endowment wrote the [[Letters#First Oathbringer Letter|first Oathbringer letter]] to [[Hoid]]. She believes that [[Rayse]] is not a threat and is unsympathetic to the deaths of [[Aona]] and [[Skai]], as they had broken their pact. |
||
| + | Later she was contacted by [[Harmony]]. She responded favourably to his overtures.{{epigraph ref|sa4|24}} |
||
| − | Though she calls [[Hoid]] "Dearest Cephandrius", she seems to dislike him quite heavily; she is frustrated with his visits to her territory, chastises him for refusing to become a Vessel, and generally tells him off for trying to interfere with the matters above what she perceives to be his weight class.{{epigraph ref|sa3|33}}{{epigraph ref|sa3|41}} She appears to be more amicable when speaking with [[Harmony]].{{epigraph ref|sa4|24}} While it might be due to both of them being Shards, she does not extend the same courtesy to [[Uli Da]], and is dismissive of [[Aona]] and [[Skai]]'s fate.{{epigraph ref|sa3|40}}{{epigraph ref|sa3|37}} |

| + | {{theory}} |
||
| − | {{for|Endowment#Associated Magic|the powers of Endowment}} |
||
| + | The [[Tears of Edgli]] are a special flower that grows only in [[Hallandren]]{{book ref|warbreaker|22}} that come in a variety of colors and are more efficient when used as a source of color for [[Awakening]].{{wob ref|7969}} They are related to Endowment,{{wob ref|5515}} and their connection to Awakening suggests they may contain some of her Investiture. |
||
| ⚫ | |||
| − | As a Vessel of the Shard [[Endowment]], Edgli is immortal and immensely powerful; she can even bring the recently-dead back to life through bestowing her [[splinter]]s, Divine [[Breath]], upon them.{{wob ref|6724}}{{wob ref|143}} Like other Shards, she is capable of perceiving the future, though it's unknown how good she is at it.{{book ref|wb|57}} She does, however, rank higher than most in being able to spot [[Hoid]], as she declares herself perfectly capable of detecting his "intrusions" on [[Nalthis]] regardless of what disguise he uses.{{epigraph ref|sa3|35}} It's unclear whether this is some capacity granted to her by her particular Shard, or simply her own keen mind. |
||
| + | * She is fine with her Breath being used to feed the [[Returned]].{{wob ref|3312}} |
||
| + | * The Shard of Endowment is the one Hoid would have taken if he wanted a Shard.{{wob ref|9845}} It might also be the one [[Brandon Sanderson]] would take.{{wob ref|8935}} |
||
| + | * In the Well of Ascension's original ending, Endowment was one of many Shards which saved [[Sazed]] from [[Marsh]].{{wob ref|1492}} |

| + | == Notes == |
||
| − | Like all Vessels, Edgli is a native of [[Yolen]].{{wob ref|7939}} She participated in the [[Shattering]] of [[Adonalsium]], and took up one of the Shards, [[Endowment]].{{msh ref|3|2}} Honoring the deal that the Vessels made, to each go their own ways, she set out of Yolen and eventually wound up on [[Nalthis]], Investing herself in it and becoming its sole Shard.{{epigraph ref|sa3|39}}{{wob ref|1120}} |
