{{image|Endowment by Heatherly.png|side=left|width=200px}}Despite being Nalthis' only Shard, the planet's inhabitants seem by and large unaware of her existence, even through religion. Of the known cultures, only the [[Pahn Kahl]] have any knowledge of her; and even then, she is known only as the voice that brings back the Returned.{{wob ref|4498}} While the people of [[Idris]] are monotheistic, their god, [[Austre]], is not based on Endowment.{{wob ref|6590}}
Regardless, she is capable of influencing Nalthis through her Returned. She communicates with select few dead as a disembodied voice, and presents them with chosen visions of the future before asking them to Return and act on this vision. Although the Returned come back amnesiac, their memories do come back when needed.{{book ref|wb|57}} Through this, Endowment can indirectly steer the course of history; most notably, Returning [[Vo]] caused the creation of [[Hallandren]] and Returning [[Shashara]] led to the creation of [[Nightblood]]. Endowment also had some additional level of involvement in Nightblood's creation, above simply her Investiture being used.{{wob ref|10871}}
