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 are wandering around in Scadrial's [[Cognitive Realm]].{{wob ref|817}}
 
=== UTol System ===
On the UTol planet of [[Komashi]], the Splinters of [[Virtuosity]] take on the forms of the [[hijo]], which are a major part of the lives of people all over Komashi, and are the key to their survival on the planet.
 
Figures known as the [[Yoki-hijo]] serve to attract these, and bind them into various objects used by denizens.
