There are sixteen Shards{{epigraph ref|TWoK|11}}, and they are the most powerful known entities in the [[cosmere]]. They are related to many, if not all, magic systems, and for practical purposes, they are gods. All Shards started at an equal power level.{{17s ref|post|42116}}
 
Nine Shards have thus far been mentioned in the novels, and an additional one by Brandon. They were either referenced by their Shard's name or their Vessel. Those known by intent are [[Ruin]], [[Preservation]], [[Honor]], [[Odium]], [[Cultivation]], [[Endowment]], [[Devotion]]{{qa ref|715|9}}, [[Dominion]]{{17s ref|topic|1175}}, and [[Autonomy]]. The tenth shard that Brandon told us about just "wants to survive"." It is unclear what the intent of this Shard is, as it could be Survival but also could be many other things. [trell[Trell]] may be one of the unknown shards, as it is an unknown being of great power worshippedworshiped by [[Miles "hundredlives"Hundredlives]], and served by [the set]Set.
