Shardpool is a non-canon term used to describe liquid Investiture of a Shard. The liquid is often collected into a pool of oddly colored water, these pools can appear on any planet that a Shard has stayed on for an extended length of time.
Known Pools
This pool is connected to the Shard of Preservation and was originally located high in the mountains, then later located under the city of Luthadel.
The Pits of Hathsin are not a true pool, the pool exists under the pits. This Pool is connected to the power of the Shard of Ruin. The Pits feed off the pool located below them to create atium, the solid form of Ruin's Power.[1] Before the Lord Ruler's ascension, the pool was located above ground, as a black lake high in the Terris mountains.[2][3]
This pool is found near the city of Elantris and is a location for Elantrians to go to die. This pool does not yet have a unique name associated with it and seems to have gained intelligence on its own. It is capable of dissolving people placed in it.
Is a natural manifestation of Investiture and is much smaller than most others.[4]
Apparently the same as the Pool near Elantris.[5] This pool will kill people if they are not a Horneater. This may be an oversimplification; it may be a specific sub-set of Horneaters that can swim there and live.
Alternate uses
Shardpools can be used by some people to worldhop.[6]
Theories
It is also thought that there is a Shardpool somewhere underground near Hallandren in Nalthis, which allows the Tears of Edgli to grow.
