== Harmony ==▼
Someone ought to add Harmony to the list of shards. <small>— Preceding unsigned comment added by [[Special:Contributions/76.186.236.186]] 00:30, 3 March 2014 (UTC)</small>
: My understanding was that Sazed held Ruin and Preservation, and wasn't able to unite them due to their opposed nature. Thus Harmony is just a nickname for Sazed-as-Ruin-and-Preservation, not an actual united shard. --[[Special:Contributions/198.41.238.101|198.41.238.101]] 13:33, 16 August 2015 (MDT)▼

== New Shard Dominion ==▼
:: I saw this while reading WoBs, and attempted to add this. However, I couldn't figure out how the references work. Could someone more experienced add this as an eleventh known Shard?▼
The sixth reference supposedly supports assertions about another shard being revealed (dominion). But the linked interview doesn't mention shards or dominion anywhere. <small>— Preceding unsigned comment added by [[Special:Contributions/98.206.140.226]] 04:44, 7 July 2014 (UTC)</small>▼

: Spren are part Honor and part Cultivation (Save Voidspren), so they are not entirely of Honor (except perhaps the Honorspren). <small>— Preceding unsigned comment added by [[Special:Contributions/192.107.136.154]] 14:52, 10 January 2023 (UTC)</small>

According to SoS, only Ruin can whisper. Preservation can only read mind. <small>— Preceding unsigned comment added by [[Special:Contributions/108.162.215.105]] 13:44, 18 January 2016 (UTC)</small>

Do the Patternspren get a shard? Could that explain epigraph 11 in Way of Kings? <small>— Preceding unsigned comment added by [[User:Mocpages]] 16:44, 29 June 2016 (UTC)</small>▼
▲:: He describes mingling them in HoA and all creatures on Scadrial are mingling so it is likely that they have been mixed into harmony
The article's suggestion that Domi is short for Dominion seems implausible, as Domi matches Devotion much more closely. (Jaddeth, on the other hand, is presumably based on Dominion.) Furthermore, it is explicit in the list of Aons that Domi comes from Aon Omi, meaning love. <small>— Preceding unsigned comment added by [[Special:Contributions/162.158.62.222]] 00:36, 18 December 2016 (UTC)</small>▼
:Yeah I just removed that line. That's just plain wrong, and never should have been added.--[[User:WeiryWriter|WeiryWriter]] ([[User talk:WeiryWriter|talk]]) 19:31, 17 December 2016 (MST)▼

▲Splinters and Spren: Didn't we have WoB at one stage that Spren are Splinters of Honour? They're currently not listed in this section, so I'll try to hunt down the relevant interview, assuming it wasn't pre 17th shard and unarchived. --[[Special:Contributions/198.41.238.101|198.41.238.101]] 13:33, 16 August 2015 (MDT)

: Ambition has been dead for a long time, so "world" should probably be N/A rather than Threnody. But I imagine that Threnody is listed because that's where Ambition fought Odium, and chunks of Ambition's power were ripped off and have probably had lasting effects on Threnody, and might still be lingering? --[[User:Shroom|Shroom]] ([[User talk:Shroom|talk]]) 18:37, 4 November 2017 (MST)▼

::: Threnody is listed due to the fact that portions of Ambition's power were ripped out and Invested into Threnody causing "Disturbing effects", likely referring to Shades and the Evil, and a perpendicularity of "morbid origin". I feel it is safe to say Ambition is basically invested into Threnody, albeit in a strange manner. --[[User:Firesong|Firesong]] ([[User talk:Firesong|talk]]) 01:21, 7 December 2022 (UTC)

:There's a lot of discussion going on with 'world' parameter at the moment as it has started causing some problems. Odium's page doesn't currently have this parameter on his infobox - at least for now, while we are figuring out how to proceed, it would be best to leave the page as it is (with the 'world' parameter blank). Although, if you have any suggestions about how we could improve the parameter and make it clearer/more efficient, please feel free to PM your thoughts through to myself or another Keeper on Discord (or on the Shard or a user talk page here).

== Possible new shard ==
I have a guess about one of the unnamed shards. This guess was inspired by a single sentence from "Tress and the Emerald Sea". I'll only quote the first half of the sentence to avoid any other story details that may be spoilers but the full sentence was found on page 347 of the pdf ebook. <s>I couldn't figure out how to put spoiler tags so, just in case, I'm going to put several returns so the sentence I partially quote will be far below:</s> I'm sorry if this is not the right way to go about sharing this information I've never edited a wiki or posted in a wiki discussion before. The sentence starts "But if ever there were proof that Fate herself had placed long odds against [...]" The reason I believe this to be evidence for a new unnamed shard is the fact that "Fate" was capitalized as if it is a proper noun and is immediately followed by the pronoun "herself" as well as the context of the story in which this quote is found. --[[Special:Contributions/204.113.253.63|204.113.253.63]] 06:14, 11 January 2023 (UTC)
: That is not enough to count as a new Shard, it is way, way too little. It also does not fit with the information we have of the other two. It is also, in context, clearly about Fate as a general concept, metaphorically embodied into a figure, rather than a Shard.--[[User:Firesong|Firesong]] ([[User talk:Firesong|talk]]) 22:20, 11 January 2023 (UTC)
:: I struck the bit about the quote being several lines down and placed a spoiler tag at the top of the page. Beyond that, while it's possible this is the finalized Intent for the Wisdom/Prudence/"hide and survive" Shard, I agree with Firesong that it's too thin a statement for us to consider it the canonization of a new Shard; there's lots of other things it could be (e.g., a personification of fate as a concept or some other non-Shard entity, like how Tress refers to "Death himself[, with] nails in his eyes"). --[[User:Stargazer|Stargazer]] ([[User talk:Stargazer|talk]]) 23:19, 11 January 2023 (UTC)
