Through unknown means, Adonalsium was broken, in an event called the Shattering. Hoid was present, and due to Hoid being from Yolen, it is thought that this event occurred on Yolen.

 

Adonalsium split into sixteen pieces, referred to as Shards of Adonalsium, each taking a particular facet, or [[intent]], of the greater power of Adonalsium. Sixteen people took up those Shards, effectively ascending into godhood. Hoid and [[the Recipient]] knew these sixteen people prior to their Ascension. Some of these individuals and the Shard they took up are: [[Aona]] ([[Devotion]]), [[Skai]] ([[Dominion]]), [[Ati]] ([[Ruin]]), [[Leras]] ([[Preservation]]), [[Tanavast]] ([[Honor]]), [[Rayse]] ([[Odium]]). Another individual who took up a Shard was [[Bavadin]], though their Shard is not known, and there is another Shard, [[Endowment]], whose holder is not known.

 

It turned out that, though the power of a Shard required a mind to control it, the specific [[intent]] of the Shard would slowly warp the mind of those that hold it.{{book cite}} It is not known whether the Shardholders knew this would be the case. Eventually, the people who took up the Shards would simply be referred to as their Shard's name, and referred to as Shards.

 

At some point, some Shards traveled to other worlds. The Shards were now the primary source of magic in the Cosmere,{{cite}} and so they Invested some planets with their power,{{cite}} and in some cases, created humans and other species.
