This was not entirely correct, however - rather than hiding, she was planning.

Following his death, Cultivation withdrew in grief, and appeared to have lost all interest in aiding mankind any longer. Īlthough Cultivation assisted Honor in fighting Odium, Honor still perished. However, following Odium's arrival in the Rosharan system, the two Shards ended up siding with human newcomers instead. There, they became the gods of a local sentient species known as the singers. She and Honor, with whom she was romantically involved, departed the site of the Shattering, Yolen, and ended up on Roshar. The Shard of Cultivation was created during the Shattering, and was subsequently taken up by Koravellium Avast. Ĭultivation appears to have the ability to kill or at least seriously wound Odium, as he refrained from killing the Stormfather out of fear of leaving himself exposed to her counterattack. Until the True Desolation, where it was overtaken by the Fused, it was the main way for worldhoppers to travel to and from Roshar. Ĭultivation's Perpendicularity is located in the Horneater Peaks, and forms either one or all of the Horneater Oceans, the giant lakes at the top of the mountains. Something about her presence on Roshar, whether intentional or otherwise, makes it easier for animal life there to attain a degree of sentience, with both Ryshadium and santhidyn being far more intelligent than their peers for this reason. Cultivationspren are also likely tied to Cultivation herself, as they refer to her as "Mother". This being said, the Nightwatcher is not very humanlike, and so Cultivation keeps her in the Valley to hold court, and grants her the use of the Old Magic. She is capable of creating spren of herself, the chief example of this being the Nightwatcher. While certainly one of the better users of future sight in the cosmere, she herself admits that she cannot truly predict everything. Please help The Coppermind by expanding it.Cultivation is capable of seeing the future, with Honor mentioning that she is much better at it than he ever was.

This article is still missing information. While technically fulfilling the requirement of not being on a planet, Ambition is not the Shard Brandon was thinking of when discussing a Shard that did not inhabit a planet.Ambition would be mono black in Magic the Gathering.Įndowment believes that they are better off for Ambition being dead. It is unknown what, if any, impact Ambition's power may have had on the planets Monody and Elegy. There is no stable perpendicularity on Threnody, although there are some unpredictable and unstable perpendicularities that are of morbid but unknown origin. Khriss indicates that she believes that this may be the product of a chunk of Ambition's power, twisting the people and the planet itself. This force of darkness destroyed an entire continent, sending people fleeing from the Homeland and other regions of the Fallen World to the Forests of Hell for safety. In addition to the shades, the Evil is also present on Threnody.

The spirit of these people imprints upon this power, and when the person dies, the power remains behind in the form of a shade, a Cognitive shadow with a low level of consciousness. There appears to be excess Investiture in general, which infuses the spirits of some humans. There are several other notable sources of Investiture on Threnody that may be associated wholly or in part with Ambition. It is unknown if this Investiture is still in existence or not after Ambition fled the system. On the other hand, this Investiture may have existed prior to the arrival of both Shards. Nazh gave Khriss records from the Homeland, which indicate that there used to be some sort of Investiture present on the planet prior to Ambition and Odium's fight. The Shard Ambition may have had a local manifestation of Investiture at one point in its past. This left a wound on the Spiritual Realm and affected Threnody in "disturbing" ways, as well as having far reaching effects elsewhere in the cosmere. Ambition managed to escape the system, but she was killed and Splintered in another location despite fighting back. Odium gained the upper hand and mortally wounded Ambition by tearing off chunks of her power, which altered the people of Threnody as well as the planets in the system. Ambition, Odium, and Mercy fought one another in the space between the planets, struggling in all three Realms. Odium desired to be the sole remaining Shard in the Cosmere and considered Ambition to be a dangerous rival as a result, he had them as number one on his list of Shards to eliminate. Shortly after the Shattering, the Shard Odium arrived in the system. Uli Da took up Ambition and Ascended she then made her way to the Threnodite system. The Shard Ambition was created when Adonalsium was Shattered by a group of people on Yolen.
