Aona was the original Vessel of the Shard Devotion.[2] Sometime after the Shattering, she and Skai took up residence on Sel.[1] Edgli believes that, by doing so, they violated the original Vessels' pact to not settle on the same world as another Shard,[3][4] though the exact terms of that agreement are somewhat unclear.[5] They were both Splintered by Odium and their combined power forms the Dor. [1][6][7]
Abilities and Attributes
Aona was a Shard of Adonalsium, making her one of the most powerful entities in the cosmere. Prior to being splintered she was immortal, unaging, and incorporeal. The Dor is a fuels the magics AonDor, Dakhor, ChayShan, Forgery, and Bloodsealing.[8][9]
History
Nothing is known about Aona's origins and life prior to the Shattering, other than that she came from Yolen.[10] For unknown reason, she and a group of others broke cosmere's creator deity, Adonalsium, into sixteen pieces.[11] Of those sixteen, she took up Devotion, and departed alongside Dominion for Sel.[12]
Trivia
When Raoden enters the pool, he hears a voice, which may be that of Aona's Cognitive Shadow, though whether or not she even has a Cognitive Shadow is unknown.[13][14]
