\|books=[[Elantris (book)\|Elantris]] }} ~~{{update\|sa4}}~~ {{quote }} Very little is known about Devotion, as she was splintered amore ~~long~~than ~~time~~7700 ~~ago~~years before the [[True Desolation]].{{book ref\|sa4\|14}}{{book ref\|sa4\|76}} The Shard was created at the [[Shattering of Adonalsium]], along with fifteen others, and picked by [[Aona]].{{msh ref\|3\|2}} She and [[Dominion]], for an unknown reason, decided to strike out together to [[Sel]], where they passively influenced a number of local cultures, though ultimately decided to take on a more laissez faire approach to human development.{{au ref\|Sel}} At some point early on, [[Odium]] came along and, possibly with some assistance from [[Autonomy]], killed both Shards and [[Splinter]]ed them.{{book ref\|sa1\|22}}{{wob ref\|2614}}{{au ref\|Sel}} Once the [[Vessel]]s were dead, the remnants of the two Shards were pushed together into Sel's [[Cognitive Realm]] to prevent anyone from taking up the power or the powers themselves from achieving sentience; this created the [[Dor]].{{wob ref\|2546}}{{wob ref\|1473}} This plan was not entirely successful, as over time, the Dor has begun to attain self-awareness of its own.{{au ref\|Sel}} Due to her early death, Devotion is not particularly influential in modern-day [[cosmere]], but her corpse, in form of the [[Dor]], has made travel to and from [[Sel]] through the [[Cognitive Realm]] highly difficult.{{au ref\|Sel}} It's possible some remnant of her is still present within it, or at least within her [[perpendicularity]], [[the Lake]], as it speaks to [[Elantrian]]s thrown into it.{{book ref\|elantris\|61}} During the [[True Desolation]] on [[Roshar]], [[Harmony]] sends [[Letters#The Sixth Letter\|a letter]] to [[Hoid]], in which he expresses how troubled he is by Devotion's and Dominion's deaths, as he had not known that Shards could be [[Splinter]]ed in such a way.{{epigraph ref\|sa4\|26}} == Trivia == == Notes == <references /> {{~~partial~~Complete}} {{Elantris}} {{cosmere}}
