'''Ambition''' is a [[Shard|Shard of Adonalsium]].{{au ref|threnodite}} The Vessel of Ambition was [[Uli Da]],{{17swob ref|post|636695|text=Is Uli Da Ambition?|date=Nov 17th, 20178398}} 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}}
 
== History ==
The Shard Ambition was created when [[Adonalsium]] was Shattered by a group of people on [[Yolen]].{{msh ref|3|2}} Uli Da took up Ambition and Ascended,; latershe then makingmade her way to the [[Threnodite]] system, where it is uncertain whether or not she Invested herself in the system.{{au ref|threnodite}} Ambition may have settled on the planet [[Threnody]] for some time, where some measure of Investiture was in existence, although its origin is unknown. Shortly after the Shattering, the Shard [[Odium]] arrived in the system. Ambition and Odium fought one another in the space between the planets, struggling in all three [[Realmatic Theory|Realms]]. Odium gained the upper hand, mortally wounding Ambition and tearing off chunks of her power, which altered the people of Threnody, as well as the planets in the system. Ambition managed to escape the system, but she was killed and [[Splinter|Splintered]] in another location, likely finished off by Odium.
 
Shortly after the Shattering, the Shard [[Odium]] arrived in the system.{{au ref|threnodite}} Odium desired to be the sole remaining Shard in the Cosmere and considered Ambition to be a dangerous rival; as a result, he had them as number one on his list of Shards to eliminate.{{wob ref|1550}} Ambition, Odium, and [[Mercy]] fought one another in the space between the planets, struggling in all three [[Realmatic Theory|Realms]].{{epigraph ref|row|27}}{{au ref|threnodite}} Odium gained the upper hand and mortally wounded Ambition by tearing off chunks of her power, which altered the people of Threnody as well as the planets in the system. Ambition managed to escape the system, but she was killed and [[Splinter|Splintered]] in another location despite fighting back.{{au ref|threnodite}}{{wob ref|1554}} This left a wound on the Spiritual Realm and affected Threnody in "disturbing" ways,{{epigraph ref|sa4|27}} as well as having far reaching effects elsewhere in the [[cosmere]].{{wob ref|8881}}{{wob ref|1662}}
 
== Influence ==
It is unknown what, if any, impact Ambition's power may have had on the planets Monody and Elegy.{{au ref|threnodite}}
 
At least one of the remaining ShardsEndowment believes that they are better off for herAmbition being dead.{{epigraph ref|sa3|40}}
 
== Trivia ==
* Ambition would be mono black in ''Magic: the Gathering''.{{wob ref|11057}}
* While technically fulfilling the requirement of not being on a planet, Ambition is not the Shard Brandon was thinking of when discussing a Shard that did not inhabit a planet.{{wob ref|2550}}
