'''Adonalsium''' is a mysterious term used in the [[cosmere]], which could refer to the power of Creation or a god. It has not been revealed what Adonalsium explicitly is, but its power is seen in the [[Shards]] of Adonalsium, which act as imperfect gods in the cosmere. It is heavily implied there are sixteen Shards, but this has not been explicitly confirmed.{{Cite}}
Who or what '''Adonalsium''' is unknown but there is evidence that at one time it was the god of the [[Cosmere]] until it (Adonalsium) shattered.
 
[[Hoid]] and possibly the original [[Shardholder]]s were present at the shattering and may have influenced the events leading up to it.
[[Hoid]] has been confirmed to be there when Adonalsium Shattered.
Its essence is currently in pieces known as (the?) [[Shard]]s of Adonalsium.
There is evidence that there are 16 shards but no concrete proof.{{Cite}}
 
== Shards of Adonalsium ==
After Adonalsium shattered into its present form, the pieces were given to or taken by individuals that then had the powers of the aspect of the Shard of Adonalsium. These people tend to act like imperfect gods, capable of creating and destroying worlds. Many of these "gods" give specific magical powers to the people on their worlds, and most of Brandon Sanderson's novels take place in one of these planets. The nature of the common people's powers is modeled after the power of the Shard in question. For example, the Mistborn series has powers based on metal, since the two Shards used to create the Mistborn world are physical in nature ([[Ruin]] and [[Preservation]]).
