Shortly after the Shattering, the Shard [[Odium]] arrived in the system. Ambition and Odium fought one another in the space between the planets, struggling in all three [[Realmatic Theory\|Realms]]. Odium gained the upper hand, mortally wounding Ambition and tearing off chunks of its power, which altered the people of Threnody, as well as the planets in the system. Ambition managed to escape the system, but it was killed and [[Splinter\|Splintered]] in another location, likely finished off by Odium. Over seven-thousand years before the True Desolation,{{book ref\|sa4\|14}}{{book ref\|sa4\|76}} the Shard [[Odium]] arrived in the system.{{au ref\|threnodite}} 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.{{wob ref\|1550}} Ambition, Odium, and [[Mercy]] fought one another in the space between the planets, struggling in all three [[Realmatic Theory\|Realms]].{{epigraph ref\|row\|27}}{{au ref\|threnodite}} 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.

On the other hand, this Investiture may have existed prior to the arrival of both Shards. It is unknown if this Investiture is still in existence or not after Ambition fled the system. There are several other notable sources of Investiture on Threnody that may be associated wholly or in part with Ambition.{{~~book~~au ref\|~~arcanum unbounded~~threnodite}} There appears to be excess Investiture in general, which infuses the spirits of some humans. 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. In addition to the shades, the [[Evil]] is also present on Threnody. 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. 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.
