When someone in the cosmere dies, their body remains in the Physical Realm and a [[Cognitive Shadow]] forms in the Cognitive Realm.{{msh ref|1|1}}{{book ref|mb6|28}} For most people, this Cognitive Shadow quickly moves on to the [[Beyond]] and their [[Investiture]] returns to the Spiritual Realm.{{msh ref|1|1}}{{book ref|mb6|28}} The more Investiture someone held in life, the longer they can linger before being drawn to the Beyond,{{msh ref|1|1}} but only [[Sliver]]s—those who once held a significant portion of a [[Shard]]'s power—can resist the Beyond forever, though they can still choose to go if they so desire.{{msh ref|6|8}} Before the person passes to the Beyond, however, they can still be restored via Investiture healing{{book ref|mb6|28}}{{book ref|sa2.5|8}} or be infused with enough Investiture to become a more permanent Cognitive Shadow, usually as a result of a Shard's action.{{msh ref|1|1}}{{book ref|sa4|15}} Those killed by [[Nightblood]]{{wob ref|10440}} or [[anti-Investiture]]{{book ref|sa4|97}}{{wob ref|14623}} or consumed by [[Yelig-nar]],{{wob ref|15139}} however, cannot be resurrected in any way, as nothing remains of their soul.

==== The Physical Realm ====
Hoid was loosely involved in the plot to Shatter Adonalsium and was present at the Shattering.{{wob ref|10868}}{{wob ref|6470}} He also had the opportunity to take a Shard, but turned it down.{{epigraph ref|sa3|38}}{{wob ref|3337}} He and [[Frost]] both knew the original Vessels personally.{{epigraph ref|sa1|23}}{{book ref|sa2|epilogue}}
After the Shattering, the new Vessels made some sort of agreement to not interfere with each other,{{epigraph ref|sa3|39}} though the exact agreement was somewhat ambiguous and the Vessels who suggested it did not make sure to get a formal oath from the others.{{wob ref|10835}}{{wob ref|13144}} Regardless, the Shards then went their separate ways. Most settled on a planet, though
=== Odium's Quest ===
Many of the other Shards are aware of Odium's actions, though most do not seem to consider him a problem, as long as he remains bound to the Rosharan system.{{epigraph ref|sa4|30}} [[Endowment]] is currently indifferent to him and thinks he was justified in Splintering the Shards he did;{{epigraph ref|sa3|37}}{{epigraph ref|sa3|40}} she also believes she could "deal" with him if he becomes an issue.{{epigraph ref|sa3|41}} One of [[Autonomy]]'s avatars, [[Patji (being)|Patji]], also expressed indifference,{{wob ref|12761}}{{epigraph ref|sa3|46}} though he did indicate that a different avatar might be more receptive.{{epigraph ref|sa3|47}} There is also a [[Survival Shard|Shard who just wants to survive]] that is aware of Odium's goals and is "smart enough" to stay away,{{wob ref|326}} though they have realized over time that may not be the best course of action.{{wob ref|12684}}{{wob ref|13231}} [[Harmony]], who only became aware of the threat around the time of the [[True Desolation]], is deeply concerned about Odium,{{epigraph ref|sa4|31}} but is unable to do much because of the conflicting nature of his powers.{{epigraph ref|sa3|55}} In a letter to [[Hoid]], however, he did suggest that [[Valor]] might share some of his concern.{{epigraph ref|sa4|25}}
