==
Its members have a non-interventionist philosophy,{{wob ref|1735}} believing that the Shards were split up for a reason and that people shouldn't dabble in mixing them.{{wob ref|1564}} The organization's name was very deliberately chosen.{{wob ref|4439}} They watch the planets of the cosmere but do not approve of getting involved with or assimilating into another planet's society. They believe interfering will merely exacerbate the conflicts between the Shards.{{wob ref|1564}} While they have goals beyond chasing down [[Hoid]], those goals are not yet known.{{wob ref|7910}}

== Relationships ==
; Hoid
: The Seventeenth Shard has an antagonistic relationship with Hoid. Because of their non-interventionist policy, they do not approve of Hoid's actions on various planets.
