A '''Splinter''' is a specific type of fragment of a Shard's power. Though Brandon has not stated the complete definition of what a Splinter is, 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.{{ref|?|699|8|How is a Splinter different from a Sliver?}} One distinguishing factor of a Splinter is that they often have an [[intent]], separate from their Shards'.{{ref|?|552|<!--TODO:FIX when transcribed-->|Do Splinters have their own Intent, in addition to the Shards'?}}
Examples of Splinters are [[Honorspren]]{{ref|17s|4254|post|66703|Are Honorspren Splinters, or do they hold Splinters?}}, the divine Breath that [[Returned]] hold, which are Splinters of [[Endowment]]{{ref|?|680|13|If a returned gives away his/her breath they die right?}}, and the [[Aon]]s inside of [[Seon]]s are Splinters of [[Devotion]].{{ref|?|949|5|Are the Aons at the heart of Seons shards of Devotion?}}
[[Lerasium]] and [[atium]]--despite being condensed essences of their Shards--are not Splinters.
