'''Cultivation''' is one of the sixteen [[Shard|Shards of Adonalsium]].{{ref|b|twok|c|75}} It is unknown who holds the Shard, but Cultivation is female.{{ref|b|twok|c|75}} She is located on [[Roshar]], and originally came to that planet with [[Honor]], before [[Odium]] arrived there.{{17s ref|2383|post|42213|They came together.}} She is still alive,{{qa ref|?|985|4|Is Cultivation's holder still alive?}} and was romantically involved with [[Honor]].{{qa ref|?|985|5|Were Cultivation and Honor romantically involved?}}
 
== Abilities ==
[[Honor]] says that Cultivation is much better at seeing the future than he was.{{ref|b|twok|c|75}}
 
== Influence ==
[[Spren]] are either of Cultivation, of [[Honor]], or a combination of the two.{{17s ref|1999|post|35866|Spren composition}}
 
It has been theorized that Cultivation is the reason why [[Shinovar]] is so strange compared to the rest of Roshar.
 
== Theories and Speculation ==
{{theory}}
=== Old Magic and the Nightwatcher ===
With the lack of information on Cultivation, speculation runs rampant of what her influence may be. With Honor dead and Splintered, as well as Odium's influence in the [[Voidbringer]]s, it is possible Cultivation or one of her servants is the [[Nightwatcher]], and that she is responsible for the [[Old Magic]]. As the Nightwatcher is referred to as both male{{ref|b|twok|c|47}} and female,{{ref|b|twok|c|27}} its gender cannot be used to prove a connection to Cultivation.
 
=== Name of Holder ===
It has been thought that [[Reya]], who was said to have shed a single tear and had [[Tear|a star]] named after it, may be the name of Cultivation's holder.{{17s ref|6568|text=Cultivation's real name}}
