(unless Brandon's said something (in which case I apologise) the almighty being honor is just a fan speculation related to "honor-spren".)

The '''Shards of Adonalsium''', or ''''Shards''' for short, are aspects of the power of [[Adonalsium]] in the cosmere. Adonalsium was at one point a single, unified power with unknown abilities (though based on what the Shards can do, they are assumed to be quite spectacular). However, in a manner that we do not yet understand, Adonalsium was shattered, and various people became somehow bonded to the various pieces of the whole.
==Known shards==
It is widely believed that there are sixteen Shards. Though this has not been confirmed, there are several passages in cosmere books that hint at there being sixteen Shards. Each Shard is associated with an emotion or idea, and over time, the personality of the [[Shardholder]] changes to more closely match the concept that their Shard embodies. For example, in [[The Way of Kings]], we are told that Ati, the holder of [[Ruin]], was once a kind and gentle man. However, when we see him in the [[Mistborn]] Trilogy, he is known only as Ruin, the essence of destruction, and is currently attempting to destroy the world.
