It is likely that this is a complete list of all the Shards for the published [[Shardworlds]].
Some worlds have more Shards than others.<{{ref name='B&N_shards'>[[Brandonology#Barnes and Noble|Barnes and Noble Q&A]], Q: ?|428|59|Could you tell us the numbers per book?</ref>}}
 
Ruin and Preservation are the only Shards on [[Scadrial]] at the moment.<{{ref name='THoA_t_sazed'>[[Brandonology#HoA Thread|Hero of Ages Spoiler Thread]], Q: With all the talk about action and reaction and whatnot, will?|727|19|Will some force form to counter Sazed's new Ruin/Preservation mix?</ref>}}
By the time of the Hero of Ages spoiler thread (before the Way of Kings release), Brandon mentioned that there were four Shards other than Ruin and Preservation that have been seen:
 
One is a tough call. You've never met the Shard itself, but you've seen its power.<br>
The other one you have not met directly, but have seen its influence.
|Brandon Sanderson<{{ref name='THoA_t_shards'>[[Brandonology#HoA Thread|Hero of Ages Spoiler Thread]], Q: ?|727|31|Have we met these four by name, or just by influence[shards]?</ref>}}
}}
 
Endowment was confirmed to be the Voice from [[Warbreaker]],<{{ref name='B&N_shards'>[[Brandonology#Barnes and Noble|Barnes and Noble Q&A]], Q: Could you tell us the numbers per book?</ref>|428|59}} which Lightsong interacts with.
[[Raoden]] interacts with a second voice when he jumps into the [[Shardpool]] in [[Elantris]] (presumably Aona’s).
Before the release of [[The Way of Kings]] it was not clear what the other two Shards were.
However, Hoid was not a Shardholder on that list.<ref name='May2010_q12'>{{17sref|614?|May691|12|Does 2010Hoid Q&A,hold Questiona 12Shard?}}</ref>
 
With the Way of Kings, [[the Letter]] demystifies the other two unaccounted for Shards: we had not directly met Skai’s Shard, but his power on the planet of [[Sel]] has been seen (and, presumably, his related magic, with the [[Dakhor]]).
And [[Odium]] traveled to Sel, killing Aona and Skai, so by default his influence is pervasive on Sel.<{{ref name='TWoK_e22'/> So, all the |b|TWoK|e|22}}
So, all the Shards on Scadrial, Sel, and Nalthis are accounted for.
 
There are three Shards on Roshar<ref name='May2010_q13'>{{17sref|614?|691|13|MayHow 2010many Q&A,Shards Questionhave 13existed on Roshar?}}</ref> and they are confirmed to be Honor, Odium, and Cultivation<{{ref name='17S_Cultivation'>[[Brandonology#17th Shard|17th Shard Interview]], Q: ?|692|21|Is CultivationCultvation a Shard on Roshar?</ref>}}.
Therefore, for all Shardworlds that have been seen, all Shards are known.
 
Still, that leaves eight additional Shards that have not been seen, and the only reference to any of them is that Bavadin is a Shardholder.<{{ref name='Europe_Bavadin'>[[Brandonology#Europe Tour|Europe Tour]], Q: ?|700|7|Does Bavadin hold a Shard?</ref>}}
The last seven Shards are unknown.
