'''Skai''' was the original [[Vessel]] of the [[Shard]] [[Dominion]].{{wob ref|783}} Sometime after the [[Shattering]], theyshe and [[Aona]] took up residence on [[Sel]].{{epigraph ref|sa1|22}} [[Edgli]] believes that, by doing so, they violated the original Vessels' pact to not settle on the same world as another Shard,{{epigraph ref|sa3|37}}{{epigraph ref|sa3|39}} though the exact terms of that agreement are somewhat unclear.{{wob ref|10835}}
 
== Abilities and Attributes ==
Sometime in the distant past, [[Odium]] arrived on Sel and attacked both Skai and Aona, killing both of them and [[Splinter]]ing their Shards.{{epigraph ref|sa1|22}}{{au ref|Sel}} At the time, he was hunting [[Ambition]], but found them first,{{wob ref|1550}} and likely used their alleged violation of the Vessels' pact as justification for killing them.{{wob ref|8358}} After Aona and Skai died, Odium locked much of [[Devotion]] and Dominion's power in the [[Cognitive Realm]] to prevent them from gaining another Vessel, which makes the Cognitive Realm around Sel very dangerous.{{wob ref|2546}}{{au ref|Sel}}
Skai was a [[Shard]] of [[Adonalsium]], making her one of the most powerful entities in the [[cosmere]]. Prior to being splintered she was immortal, unaging, and incorporeal. The [[Dor]] is a fuels the magics [[AonDor]], [[Dakhor]], [[ChayShan]], [[Forgery]], and [[Bloodsealing]].{{wob ref|9830}}{{wob ref|4090}}
 
== History ==
On present-day Sel, while most of Skai's power remains trapped in the Cognitive Realm, some of it still influences the [[Physical Realm]]. The [[skaze]] are Splinters of Dominion,{{wob ref|4547}}{{wob ref|5540}} and some vestiges of Skai's power appear to be allowing [[Wyrn (title)|Wyrn]] [[Wulfden the Fourth]] to see the future.{{wob ref|4682}}
Nothing is known about Skai's origins and life prior to the [[Shattering]], other than that she came from [[Yolen]].{{wob ref|7939}} For unknown reason, she and a group of others broke the [[cosmere]]'s creator deity, [[Adonalsium]], into sixteen pieces.{{msh ref|3|2}} Of those sixteen, she took up [[Dominion]], and departed alongside [[Devotion]] for [[Sel]].{{au ref|Sel}}
