Their Investiture—their power—was Splintered, their minds ripped away, their souls sent into the Beyond. }} Though the two ~~Shards~~[[Shard]]s of [[Sel]] weren't directly involved in the human civilizations of the planet, the discovery of their powers drove their development regardless. The magic systems they inspired were fundamental in the development of local writing systems and languages, and heavily impacted the local cultures.{{au ref\|Sel}} In the present times, this influence is most pervasive in the form of [[Shu-Dereth]], the state religion of [[Fjordell]], though its god [[Jaddeth]] is also slightly inspired by [[Devotion]].{{wob ref\|783}} Though it's unknown how much -- if anything -- of Devotion and Dominion's original self remains, they continue to have magical effects on Sel. As [[Dor]], they make the Selish [[Cognitive Realm]] exceptionally dangerous to travel through.{{au ref\|Sel}} Their [[splinter]]s, the [[skaze]], continue to have political power over Fjordell.{{wob ref\|6167}} 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}}
