There remain two Shards that have not been named, nor referred to explicitly in text.
 
One of these two Shards has an intent similar to Wisdom or Prudence.{{wob ref|12684}}{{wob ref|13231}} [[Hoid]] and this Shard seem to be antagonistic towards each other,{{book ref|sa3|68}}{{wob ref|13239}} though this appears to be a common thread in his relations with the original Vessels.{{epigraph ref|sa1|23}}{{epigraph ref|sa3|41}}{{book ref|sa2|55}} There is a Shard that "[[Survival Shard|just wants to hide and survive]],"{{wob ref|2788}} though it has realized over time that that may not be the most desirable course of action; it is implied that this may be the "wisdom" Shard.{{wob ref|12684}}{{wob ref|13231}}
In his second letter to Hoid, Harmony mentions the existence of Shards that are hidden to him and encroach upon Scadrial{{epigraph ref |row|27}}; this seems to be a reference to [[Trell (Trellism)|Trell]], a mysterious entity which [[Waxillium Ladrian]] saw during his conversation with Harmony{{book ref|mb6|28}}. This would confirm that Trell is both a Shard, and is not Odium, as Harmony seems to treat them as distinct.

In addition to these unknown Shards, Harmony believes there are Shards that are hidden to him that are encroaching on Scadrial.{{epigraph ref|sa4|27}} This likely refers to the entity [[Trell (Trellism)|Trell]], which is associated with one of the nine Shards that were known when [[trellium]] first appeared,{{wob ref|6261}}{{wob ref|8554}} likely Autonomy.{{article ref|Trell (Trellism)#Theories & Speculation}}
What is known is that there exists a Shard with intent similar to Wisdom, that once sought to hide and survive, but has over time realized that this isn't the most desirable course of action.{{wob ref|12684}}{{wob ref|13231}} [[Hoid]] and this Shard seem to be antagonistic towards each other, though this appears to be a common thread in his relations with all Vessels.{{book ref|sa3|68}}{{wob ref|13239}}
 
Prudence was suggested to be a very Shardic name, however, this has not been confirmed as a Shard.{{wob ref|13231}}
