Splinters of Odium are also present on that world, such as the [[Unmade]],{{wob ref|1672}} and other [[Voidspren]].{{book ref|sa2|3}} The Cognitive Shadows of ancient long-dead [[singer]]s, known as the [[Fused]], are also considered to be Splinters.{{epigraph ref|sa2|34}} Historically, these Splinters have been confined by the [[Oathpact]] to [[Braize]], a planet inhabited solely{{au ref|drominad}} by an entire ecosystem of self-aware Splinters,{{au ref|roshar}} except during [[Desolation]]s.{{book ref|sa3|38}} However, following the [[True Desolation]] and the appearance of the [[Everstorm]] on Roshar, they are present on both Braize and Roshar. It is unknown if any Splinters are present on [[Ashyn]], the third inhabited planet in the Rosharan system.{{au ref|roshar}} Splinters in this system are particularly vulnerable to the Unmade [[Sja-anat]], who is capable of corrupting Splinters with Odium's Investiture.{{book ref|sa3|97}}
Due to their strong Connection to the system, it is very difficult for spren to leave the Rosharan system,{{book ref|sa4|14}}{{book ref|yumi|21}}{{wob ref|9489}}{{wob ref|4956}}{{wob ref|15879}}{{wob ref|15986}}{{wob ref|8543}} though it is possible through currently unknown means.{{book ref|yumi|21}}{{wob ref|9489}}{{wob ref|15986}}

During the time of the [[Final Empire]], both Ruin and Preservation had no Splinters of themselves on [[Scadrial]].{{wob ref|4541}} This signifies that their [[Metallic Arts#The God Metals|God Metals]], [[lerasium]] and [[atium]]--despite existing as condensed Investiture of their respective Shards{{wob ref|6072}}--are not Splinters.{{wob ref|4541}} In fact, there are no Splinters of Ruin and Preservation in existence.{{wob ref|3020}} Three and a half centuries after the [[Catacendre]], [[Harmony]] still does not have any Splinters, but that does not preclude the possibility that one day he may have Splinters of his own.{{wob ref|652}} Any potential Splinters present on Scadrial would have to be brought there from another world,{{wob ref|3020}} a notoriously tricky process.{{wob ref|8757}} However, in the event that Ruin had been successful in defeating Preservation and destroying Scadrial, he would have Splintered Preservation.{{msh ref|6|4}} Somehow, Rosharan spren have entered and

The shard [[Virtuosity]] Splintered herself at some point in the past, in the UTol system.{{book ref|yumi|1}} On that system's planet of [[Komashi]], the Splinters are known as [[hijo]], or 'spirits'; they form a major part of the lives of people all over Komashi, and are the key to their survival on the planet.{{book ref|yumi|17}}
During the [[Torio]] period, figures known as the [[Yoki-hijo]] served to attract these, and bind them into various objects used by denizens.{{book ref|yumi|4}} At one point, a [[Institute of Mechanical Solutions|group of scholars]] discovered that hijo could also be attracted by mechanical means to produce a more general-use form of Investiture known as [[hion]]. Unfortunately, the [[father machine|machine]] they [[Awakening|Awakened]] to automate this was
The survivors wrested the hion to their own needs to persevere until, seventeen centuries later, the machine was finally defeated by [[Yumi]] and the hijo were freed again.{{book ref|yumi|41}} They then entered into a more amicable relationship with humanity, and provided hion freely.{{book ref|yumi|part=anotherepilogue}}
