'''Cultivation''' is one of the sixteen [[Shard|Shards of Adonalsium]].{{book ref|sa1|75}} She resides on [[Roshar]], having originally come there with [[Honor]] before [[Odium]]'s arrival.{{wob ref|1169}} ItsHer Vessel's name is [[Koravellium Avast (Koravari)]],{{book ref|sa4|73}}, andthough [[Hoid]] has referred to her as '''Slammer'''.{{wob ref|9472}} Cultivation’sCultivation's [[Investiture]] is typically associated with the color green.{{wob ref|13074}}
 
== Appearance and Personality ==
 
=== Lifelight ===
Cultivation has her own form of gaseous Investiture, Lifelight, that is comparable to the Scadrian [[Mistmist]]s{{wob ref|12207}}, [[Stormlight]], and [[Voidlight]].{{wob ref|10578}} When visiting the [[Nightwatcher]], Dalinar sees Cultivation surrounded by green mist,{{book ref|sa3|114}} which is likely Lifelight.{{wob ref|12207}} It can both be captured in gems and serve as a power source much like the other two Lights. In fact, [[Lift]]'s Investiture that she generates by transmuting consumed food is Lifelight and not Stormlight.

=== Shattering and ancient Roshar ===
KoravariCultivation's is theoriginal Vessel, of[[Koravellium CultivationAvast]], who was present at the [[Shattering of Adonalsium]]. She appears to greatly dislike [[Hoid]].{{book ref|sa2|55}} The Shard itself was created during the Shattering, and was subsequently taken up by the KoravariKoravellium Avast. She and [[Honor]], with whom she was romantically involved, departed the site of the Shattering, [[Yolen]], and ended up on Roshar.{{wob ref|2786}} There, they became the gods of a local sentient species known as the [[singer]]s. However, following [[Odium]]'s arrival in the [[Rosharan system]], the two Shards ended up siding with human newcomers instead.{{book ref|sa3|111}}
 
Although Cultivation assisted Honor in fighting Odium, Honor still perished.{{wob ref|2729}} Following his death, Cultivation withdrew in grief, and appeared to have lost all interest in aiding mankind any longer.{{book ref|sa2|i|9}} This was not entirely correct, however -- rather than hiding, she was planning.{{wob ref|8669}}
