|As for [[Uli Da]], it was obvious from the outset that she was going to be a problem. Good riddance.

'''Ambition''' is a [[Shard|Shard of Adonalsium]].{{au ref|threnodite}} The Vessel of Ambition was [[Uli Da]],{{wob ref|8398}} but she was killed shortly after the [[Shattering]]. She at one point visited the [[Threnody|Threnodite]] system.

 

It is uncertain whether or not Ambition once had a system of [[Investiture]] associated with her.{{au ref|threnodite}}

 

 

 

The Shard Ambition may have had a local manifestation of Investiture at one point in its past.{{au ref|threnodite}} [[Nazh]] gave [[Khriss]] records from the [[Homeland]], which indicate that there used to be some sort of Investiture present on the planet prior to Ambition and Odium's fight. On the other hand, this Investiture may have existed prior to the arrival of both Shards. It is unknown if this Investiture is still in existence or not after Ambition fled the system.

 

There are several other notable sources of Investiture on Threnody that may be associated wholly or in part with Ambition.{{au ref|threnodite}} There appears to be excess Investiture in general, which infuses the spirits of some humans. The spirit of these people imprints upon this power, and when the person dies, the power remains behind in the form of a [[shade]], a [[Cognitive shadow]] with a low level of consciousness. In addition to the shades, the [[Evil]] is also present on Threnody. This force of darkness destroyed an entire continent, sending people fleeing from the Homeland and other regions of the [[Fallen World]] to the [[Forests of Hell]] for safety. Khriss indicates that she believes that this may be the product of a chunk of Ambition's power, twisting the people and the planet itself. There is no stable [[perpendicularity]] on Threnody, although there are some unpredictable and unstable perpendicularities that are of morbid but unknown origin.

 

It is unknown what, if any, impact Ambition's power may have had on the planets Monody and Elegy.{{au ref|threnodite}}
