It is not known what [[Adonalsium]] is, whether it be a person or a great power. Since Shards have been called pieces of the power of creation{{ref|?|727|45}}, it is theorized that Adonalsium is in fact the power of creation. Regardless of its nature, Adonalsium was [[Shattering|Shattered]], and thus the Shards of Adonalsium came into being. [[The Way of Kings]] heavily implies there are sixteen Shards.{{ref|b|TWoK|e|11}}
These Shards are named after their respective [[intent]], which represents the driving force of the power{{ref|
When a person takes up a Shard, the extreme power vaporizes the body, allowing the person’s mind to expand.{{ref|?|727|45}} From then on, the person’s consciousness feeds on the power of the Shard to remain alive{{ref|
