The Survival Shard is one of the sixteen Shards of Adonalsium. Virtually nothing known about this Shard, like its intent or the planet on which it resides.
The one hint to its existence is a cryptic quote that Brandon signed in a book. Responding to the question "Give us the name of a Shard's intent we have not seen before," he wrote, "there is one who just wants to hide and survive."[1] This is likely referring to surviving Odium's onslaught against the other Shards.
The Shard's intent is only tangentially related to its desire to hide. The desire comes from its knowledge of events in the Cosmere.[2] This desire to not be caught is "quite intelligent".[3]
Notes
- ↑ Give us the name of a Shard's intent we have not seen before
— 17th Shard forums - 09 December 2012# - ↑ That shard is well aware of what is going on in the Cosmere, and is smart enough to try and just get away from it all.
