I was rereading Way of Kings, and I came across one of those Blank Seconds Before Death messages. It said something like "Where is the Almighty, why has he forsaken us," etc. There was one line that spoke out to me. "Shard of my Soul, where have you gone?" I saw the word Shard, and started thinking, but I couldn't think of any theories that worked, so I took to the forums. Any theories? I'll edit this post soon to include the paragraph; I don't have my book right now.
