'''Odium''' is a [[Shard|Shard of Adonalsium]], held by [[Rayse]].{{ref|?|700|7|He did however confirm that Rayse is Odium}}. The author of [[The Letter]] calls Odium the "most frightening and terrible of all the Shards."{{ref|b|twok|e|19}} Odium is currently located on Roshar, though arrived on Roshar later than its other two Shards, [[Honor]] and [[Cultivation]]. Unlike many Shards, which usually stay on their own worlds, Odium moves through the [[cosmere]], causing havoc. Odium had been on [[Sel]] a short time, and the results were devastating.{{ref|b|twok|e|22}}
 
The Shard's [[intent]], Odium, means two things: the feeling of strong hatred, and that which provokes hatred from others.{{ref|17s|2383|post|42190|Some dictionaries list two meanings for the word "odium"}}
The meaning of the Shard's [[intent]], Odium, is:
 
# intense hatred or dislike, especially toward a person or thing regarded as contemptible, despicable, or repugnant.
# the reproach, discredit, or opprobrium attaching to something hated or repugnant: He had to bear the odium of neglecting his family.
# the state or quality of being hated.<ref>http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/odium</ref>
 
Of these, the first is most likely. Odium is about spreading hatred and discord.
