== What are Splinters? ==
Brandon has not stated the complete definition of what a Splinter is. The most he has said is that it is a term used by certain people in the Cosmere for a power of Adonalsium which has no person holding it, which has attained self-awareness.{{wob ref |10563 |Steelheart Seattle Signing |date=2013-10-14}} In a way they are qualitative opposites of [[Sliver]]s. Whereas Slivers are people who have been influenced by Shardic power, a Splinter is a thing that has never been human.{{wob ref |4541 |Vericon 2011 |date=2015-04-12}} One distinguishing factor of a Splinter is that they often have an intent, separate from their Shards'.{{qawob ref|618|53|Do Splinters have their own Intent, in addition to the Shards'?|date=Aug 4th, 201110089}} Splinters are a blend of more the spiritual and cognitive and less the physical.{{qawob ref|979|68|Are Splinters primarily Spiritual?|date=Apr 15th, 20134066}}
 
== Known Splinters ==
Examples of Splinters are [[Honorspren]] (Splinters of [[Honor]]){{17s ref|post|66703|Are Honorspren Splinters, or do they hold Splinters?|date=05 October 2013}}, the [[Unmade]] (Splinters of [[Odium]]){{wob ref |1672 |/r/books AMA 2015 |date=2013-10-14}}, the Divine Breath that [[Returned]] hold (Splinters of [[Endowment]]){{qawob ref|680|13|If a returned gives away his/her breath they die right?|date=Jan 18th, 20106724}}, and the [[Aon]]s inside of [[Seon]]s (Splinters of [[Devotion]]){{qawob ref|949|5|Are the Aons at the heart of Seons shards of Devotion?|date=Jan 18th, 20104679}}.▼
 
 
▲Examples of Splinters are [[Honorspren]] (Splinters of [[Honor]]){{17s ref|post|66703|Are Honorspren Splinters, or do they hold Splinters?|date=05 October 2013}}, the [[Unmade]] (Splinters of [[Odium]]){{wob ref |1672 |/r/books AMA 2015 |date=2013-10-14}}, the Divine Breath that [[Returned]] hold (Splinters of [[Endowment]]){{qa ref|680|13|If a returned gives away his/her breath they die right?|date=Jan 18th, 2010}}, and the [[Aon]]s inside of [[Seon]]s (Splinters of [[Devotion]]){{qa ref|949|5|Are the Aons at the heart of Seons shards of Devotion?|date=Jan 18th, 2010}}.
 
This indicates that there are Splinters on [[Roshar]], [[Sel]] and [[Nalthis]]. Whether or not there are more, on other Shardworlds, is unknown.
 
== No Splinters on Scadrial ==
[[Lerasium]] and [[atium]]--despite being condensed essences of their Shards--are not Splinters, so there are no Splinters in ''[[Mistborn (series)|Mistborn]]''.{{qawob ref|699|8|How is a Splinter different from a Sliver?|date=Mar 19th, 20114541}}
 
== Creation ==
It is not clear how Splinters are formed, though it appears a Shard must actively create one. Endowment seems to be able to form them at will for [[Returned]]. [[Odium]] traveled to Sel and Splintered [[Devotion]] and [[Dominion]].{{article ref|The Letter}} Since [[Odium]] killed [[Tanavast]],{{book ref|twok|75}} the holder of [[Honor]], Honor was Splintered as well.{{qawob ref|755|27|Is Honor splintered?|date=Apr 17th, 20129810}}
