== Bavadin and Rayse ==
All that is truly known about him is that the author of the Letter holds a grudge against him for some unknown reason, and that the author of the letter also holds a grudge against [[Rayse]]. For this reason, it is believed that he may support [[Rayse]], though nothing is confirmed. It has been confirmed that Bavadin is located on [[Taldain]], the planet of [[White Sand]], {{qa ref|622|78|Will we see Bavadin sometime?|date=2011-08-31}}and is the only Shard there.{{qa ref|1076|18|Is Bavadin the only Shard on Taldain?|date=2014-03-06}}
{{theory}}
The author of [[the Letter]] holds a grudge against both Bavadin and [[Rayse]] for unknown, but similar,{{wob ref|10630}} reasons. It is speculated that Bavadin and Rayse are partners, though nothing is confirmed. She was apparently of help to him in Splintering the Shards of Dominion and Devotion,{{wob ref|2614}} but the extent of this assistance and whether it was voluntary is not yet known.
