The fact that Hoid was a Dawnshard at some point {{wob ref\|14300}} is related to his title as Bearer of the First Gem {{wob ref\|14355}}. It is possible that the Gem held the Dawnshard much like the mural in the cavern at Akinah. {{book ref\|dawnshard\|16}} Once he wore the Gem, he would have "became" the Dawnshard, hence rendering the stone worthless. == Notes == {{complete\|[[User:Big Smooth\|Big Smooth]] ([[User talk:Big Smooth\|talk]]) 09:49, 24 June 2019 (MST)}} {{cosmere}} [[es:Primera Gema]]
