Endowment was the one Shard who traveled to [[Nalthis]].{{qa ref|428|59|The Voice is, indeed, one of the Shards of Adonalsium|date=Jul, 2009}}{{qa ref|689|25|There's just the one system in Warbreaker, and it's also a world with only one Shard on it|date=Nov 8th, 2011}} At some point during the history of Nalthis, Endowment began intentionally splitting its power, creating what are called Splinters, that turned into [[divine Breath]], which made the [[Returned]].{{citeqa ref|428|59}}

Honor and Cultivation went to [[Roshar]] together.{{citeqa ref|985|6|Were Cultivation and Honor romantically involved?|date=May 22nd, 2013}} Later, Odium went to the [[Greater Roshar]] system,{{qa ref|836|49|Is Odium native to Roshar?|date=Sep 22nd, 2012}} ending up particularlyon [[Braize]].{{citeqa ref|1041|4|Odium's presence is felt on Roshar, but he is on Braize, the 3rd planet in the system|date=Aug 8th, 2013}} Devastating wars called the [[Desolation]]s were fought over Roshar, between Odium's [[Voidbringer]]s and Honor's [[Herald]]s and [[Knights Radiant]].{{book refcite}} Cultivation's role in the Desolations is not clear, but Honor and Cultivation were a romantic item.{{citeqa ref|985|6|Were Cultivation and Honor romantically involved?|date=May 22nd, 2013}}

Odium wanted to become the strongest being in the cosmere.{{qa ref|1011|7|Odium wants to be the only Shard|date=Mar 16th, 2012}}{{qa ref|675|12|His goal is to destroy them all and be the only one left at his power level|date=Dec 15th, 2011}} He realized that if he ever took up another Shard, that Shard would change him, and Odium preferred his own.{{citeqa ref|944|8|Rayse knows this, and prefers to leave behind destroyed rivals as opposed to taking their power and potentially being overwhelmed by it|date=March 2013}} So, in his quest to become god of the cosmere, instead of absorbing all the other fifteen Shards, he decided to destroy the other Shards.{{citeqa ref|1011|7}}. He developed a way to Splinter a Shard's power, and in the process, killing its holder.{{bookepigraph ref|sa1|22}}

Odium briefly traveled to Sel to attack Devotion and Dominion, and Odium Splintered them.{{bookepigraph ref|sa1|22}} This left a lot of energy on Sel, with nowhere to travel outwards, and so this is why Shadesmar is incredibly hazardous on Sel.{{cite}} The Dor was created, and Selish magic itself changed.{{cite}} Odium left Sel after this event, and theredid isnot no other knownInvest evidenceany of his timepower on the planet.{{cite}}qa Thisref|944|7|Odium isdid perhaps because if he were tonot leave ahis lastingpower impactbehind, heone wouldshould havenote|date=March needed2013}} to Invest a part of himself there.

Odium also killed Honor using this same method.{{citebook ref|sa1|75}} However, Honor was crafty, and even though Honor perished, Odium was then trapped on the Greater Rosharan System.{{citeepigraph ref|sa2|69}} Cultivation survived Odium, and is still alive.{{qa ref|985|5|Is Cultivation's holder still alive?|date=May 22nd, 2013}} Odium killed another Shard in addition to Devotion, Dominion, and Honor.{{qa ref|1091|3|Odium has killed at least one more Shard than the ones we know about|date=Nov 29th, 2014}}

Hoid was deeply concerned about Odium's involvement on Sel, and thought that his war would lead to devastate the whole cosmere.{{epigraph ref|sa1|28}} He sent a letter{{cite}} to a [[The Recipient|person]] (possibly a dragon{{epigraph ref|sa1|19}}) to call off his "friends of the [[Seventeenth Shard]]" and help join Hoid.{{epigraph ref|sa1|26}} The recipient of Hoid's original letter did not see things as Hoid, and said that the reason these events have occurred is because of their involvement.{{epigraph ref|sa2|66}} As such, he advocated nonintervention,{{epigraph ref|sa2|74}} where Hoid meddled a great deal, on all main worlds.

The Seventeenth Shard are a group of [[Worldhoppers]] moving between planets using various magics, and are perhaps led by the Recipient.{{epigraph ref|sa1|26}} Their members are from many worlds, including Scadrial, Taldain, and Sel. They searched for Hoid on Roshar shortly before the [[Everstorm]] was summoned.{{book ref|sa1|i|1}} They may also be nonintervenionists, due to their possible relationship with the Recipient.{{epigraph ref|sa1|26}}
