LadyLameness (talk | contribs) (Thank you for adding the table, it is helpful to have a list of participants, though it should only really have information relevant to this page. I've cut down the table to just list the Shard/Vessel that was present - the other information is more appropriate for the Shard page itself.) |

The people who killed Adonalsium on Yolen{{wob ref|11602}} all had different motivations, including a desire for power and a belief in the necessity of the action.{{msh ref|3|2}} [[Hoid]] was there at the Shattering and was offered a Shard, but he refused.{{book ref|sa4|99}}{{wob ref|3337}} Hoid participated in the plan to kill Adonalsium.{{book ref|tress|39}}
All of the Investiture in the cosmere was divided between and became associated with a Shard,{{wob ref|8605}} with some exceptions like the [[Aether|Aethers]] and the Dawnshards.{{book ref|mb7|42}}{{book ref|sa3.5|19}}{{wob ref|15933}} All of the sixteen Shards were created at once, and they all started with the same amount of [[Investiture]].{{book ref|mb7|20}}{{wob ref|1292}}{{wob ref|5313}}
It was not random which Vessel got which Shard;{{wob ref|5490}} some chose Shards that they were particularly Connected with, while others chose Shards that they believed they could control well.{{wob ref|15953}} It is possible for Adonalsium to have Shattered into different Shards than the Shards currently in existence.{{wob ref|6634}}
Following the Shattering, the Vessels spread across the Cosmere, Investing into various planets, with Ruin and Preservation themselves creating the planet of [[Scadrial]].{{au ref|scadrian}}
Various Shards fought amongst themselves for various reasons, leading to the death of Vessels and Splintering of the Shards. In particularly, this applies to Devotion, Dominion, Honor, and Ambition.{{book ref|mb7|20}}{{book ref|sa1|75}}{{au ref|selish}}{{au ref|Threnodite}} All of these Splinterings had strong and lasting effects upon the planets they were Invested within, and are also largely the result of Odium having gone to kill every Shard he could.{{book ref|mb7|20}}{{au ref|selish}}{{epigraph ref|sa4|27}}{{wob ref|8881}}{{wob ref|1662}} Ruin and Preservation were also later fused into one Vessel after the death of their previous holders, creating the hybrid Shard, [[Harmony]].{{book ref|mb3|82}}
