Nothing is known about any interaction Adonalsium may have had with mortals, beyond its work as a creator. Sapient beings were apparently aware of Adonalsium's existence and power, at least, and some worshiped Adonalsium as a deity.{{book ref|sa3|121}} Despite this, or perhaps because of it, some individuals grew to oppose Adonalsium.{{msh ref|3|2}} Their number included humans, [[dragon (cosmere)|dragon]]s, and [[Sho Del]],{{wob ref|9676}} and their motives were diverse; while some sought power for themselves, others simply believed that Adonalsium presented some manner of threat.{{msh ref|3|2}} And so, this opposing force developed a mysterious weapon for use against Adonalsium. Possibly an awakened weapon.{{wob ref|5602}}
At least one plot to destroy Adonalsium failed, though the details of this remain an enigma.{{wob ref|2648}} It is possible that the weapon failed to accomplish the task it was designed for, and that the Shattering was forced by some other means. On the other hand, it may be that the weapon was developed as an alternative approach after some prior strategy failed. Though unlikely, given the thirst for power that motivated some conspirators,{{msh ref|3|2}} it is even possible that the Shattering itself is the aforementioned failure--that the results of the Shattering, whether caused by the weapon or otherwise, were not intended.{{wob ref|721}}
