Odium eventually killed Honor, using the same method as he did with Devotion and Dominion.{{book ref|sa1|75}} However, Honor was crafty, and even though Honor perished, Odium was then trapped on the Greater Rosharan System.{{epigraph ref|sa2|69}} At some point, Odium ended up being on Braize, which he is currently located, prior to the [[True Desolation]].{{qa ref|1041|4}} Cultivation, on the other hand, survived Odium, and is still alive.{{qa ref|985|5|Is Cultivation's holder still alive?|date=May 22nd, 2013}} Odium has not killed another Shard after this point.{{epigraph ref|sa2|70}}
 
Before Odium's confinement on Greater Roshar, at an some unknown time, he also 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}} There is also a [[Survival Shard|Shard who just wants to survive]], presumably against Odium's onslaught.{{17s ref|topic|2652|Give us the name of a Shard's intent we have not seen before|date=09Dec December9th, 2012}}
 
===Hoid and the Seventeenth Shard ===
 
====Ruin's Plan for Freedom====
On Scadrial, the [[Well of Ascension]], that power that came from Preservation's mind, could be utilized by humanity. For much of Classical Scadrian history, a person called the [[Hero of Ages]] by the [[Terris Prophecies]] would take up the power and become a protector of mankind. They would live the rest of their lives blessing people with the power of Preservation, renewing Ruin's prison, and watch over the world.{{qa ref|727|43|What was Vin supposed to do at the end of Well of Ascension?|date=October, 2008}} The power did not vanish, instead returning every 1024 years.{{qa ref|691|3|The well refills every 1024 years|date=May, 2010}}
 
Ruin was keenly interested in the Well of Ascension. If he could get a person to hold the power there, but instead of utilize the power, release it, then the prison on Ruin's mind would vanish, and he would then be free to finally destroy the world.{{epigraph ref|mb3|46}} To do this, Ruin manipulated the Terris Prophecies over a long period of time. He made it so the Hero of Ages would include the "sacred piercings," actually [[Hemalurgy|Hemalurgic]] piercings, so he could influence the Hero.{{qa ref|727|30|Alendi's "Piercings of the Hero"?|date=Oct 16, 2008|asker=VegasDev}} More importantly, Ruin changed the Prophecies extensively so that the Well and the Hero's purpose was obscured.{{qa ref|727|43|What was Vin supposed to do at the end of Well of Ascension?|date=October,Oct 2008}} Now the Hero was supposed to take the Well's power and release it.
 
Then, Ruin drove the world into desperate straits so that people would believe in a hero of ancient prophecy. If he fought Preservation, the mists--the Shard of Preservation's direct essence--which still protected the land would oppose him. So, he used Preservation to his advantage: the mists Snapped [[Allomancy|Allomancers]], and people misinterpreted the mists as a negative thing. Instead of fighting against the mists' action, Ruin enhanced them, bringing the death of plants, and causing the threat that became the [[Deepness]].{{epigraph ref|mb3|81}}
Some ideas that came into the worldbuilding of the cosmere came from Plato's theory of forms, which contributed to the idea of [[Realmatic Theory]], and the idea of the Physical, Cognitive, and Spiritual Realms. In this, the distinction of what is perceived as "ideal" and what is the true ideal is important: true ideals have much to do with the Spiritual Realm, while people's perception of ideals deals with the Cognitive Realm. Another influences is Spinoza, with the idea that God is in everything.{{qa ref|979|11|[Do] you think it is necessary to use philosophy to make a good fantasy world?|date=Apr 15th, 2013}} Brandon also incorporated the idea of a "unifying theory of everything" from physics to the magic in the cosmere. All magics have underlying rules, and are derived from a single unified theory of magic.{{qa ref|622|142|Do you have all the rules for them written down somewhere?|date=Aug 31st, 2011}}
 
There is a distinct beginning, middle, and end to the cosmere sequence, and a clear sequence Brandon wants to tell.{{qa ref|1052|52|there's a beginning, middle, and end to the shattering of Adonalsium and the involvement there.|date=Mar 21st, 2014}} There's about 36 main cosmere books, and Brandon has three "core" cosmere series: [[Dragonsteel]], [[Mistborn (series)|Mistborn]], and [[the Stormlight Archive]],{{qa ref|1077|17|How many series in the cosmere?|date=Mar 7th, 2014}}{{qa ref|112|30|Is it safe to say The Stormlight Archive will become the backbone series of the story of the cosmere?|date=Apr 16th, 2014}} which are well-planned out.{{qa ref|622|120|How much of the Cosmere and its story would you say you already have a plan for?|date=Aug 21st., 2011}} Dragonsteel is the start of the cosmere sequence that will tell [[Hoid]]'s backstory{{qa ref|689|5|When will we see a Hoid book?|date=Nov 8th, 2011}} and, presumably, the Shattering of [[Adonalsium]]. Mistborn will have three big trilogies, its last one being science fiction, deals heavily with the cosmere{{qa ref|977|206|When will be see the whole Cosmere-concept (Shards, the plans of Hoid) at the level of the books?|date=Sep 2012}} and has travel between the different planets of the cosmere.{{qa ref|1076|8|Will you ever have characters use the different systems of magic openly in front of each other?|date=Mar 6th, 2014}} Stormlight Archive is set in the middle of the cosmere sequence.{{qa ref|988|4|What time period do they all fit in, do they all fit in time- at the same time?|date=Dec 6th, 2012}} Generally, the cosmere will not come into the forefront until Dragonsteel or the final Mistborn trilogy,{{qa ref|1076|7|Are you going to expand on the cosmere in its own book?|date=Mar 6th, 2014}} and the final Mistborn trilogy is one of the last cosmere series, if not the last. Brandon has said it will all fit together, and thinks we'll be impressed.{{qa ref|675|5|Do you ever feel stifled?|date=Nov 14th, 2011}}
 
{{sidequote|I hope that people will stick with me for all these books, because I'll do a lot of them. But they will fit together in some really cool ways once they are all done. I think you'll be very very impressed, but that's a while off.|Brandon on the cosmere{{qa ref|675|5}}|left|300px}}

*[[The Silence Divine]], a novella{{bws ref|state-of-the-sanderson-december-2014|State of the Sanderson: December 2014|date=2014-12-18}} that will take place on [[Ashyn]],{{17s ref|post|62280|Q&A at Spokane Barnes & Noble|date=09 August 2013}} a planet on [[Greater Roshar]].
