Is Adonalsium really dead?

[AdonalsiumIsHoid]

So far we have seen shards splintered but not dead, the vessels die, power Don't, is it possible that somehow if someone could make vessel release their shards in a particular region, or perhaps in spiritual realm, it'll collide in itself or perhaps a vessel could draw them all in

And also, as we know Dawnshards can splinter Shards, as they did splinter adonalsium after all, is it possible they can remake a shard from it's splinter too..? Perhaps connect them again to become a whole shard, n if that is possible couldn't adonalsium be fixed again?

Dawnshards work on command and intent, what if there is a dawnshard to do this too, to not let shards completely annihilate the power of other shards and to remake a shard from splinters?

Can it be restored? The Splinters...

Brandon Sanderson

Um, Splinters, can they be restored to... So it is, that is a yes, but restoring them will not restore Honor, the Vessel of Honor, right. They would restore Honor the Shard if this were to happen, but a new Vessel would have to take it.

Questioner

Ok so, [Adonalsium] can be put back together?

Brandon Sanderson

Adonalsium? It is theoretically possible to put a Shard back into, you know, to meld Shards together. The fact that we have already seen someone meld powers, in Sazed. So yes, but the question is who or what was Adonalsium, and is putting it back together going to do anything? Or...

It would depend, if there was someone who was like a Vessel of Adonalsium, then they're just dead, so joining them together won't bring them back. If Adonalsium was the power itself, then would joining the Shards remake it, or would it create another new entity?

The Dawnshard mural does imply that they were used to Shatter Adonalsium, each of them pulling apart four Shards, but we have no solid confirmation from Brandon, nor any bigger hints in the books yet.

And also,

The Dawnshards supposably are basically the basic laws upon which cosmere and investiture is maintained, as said With Rysn the dawnshard was of change, the natural way by which things change in cosmere are ultimately the effect of investiture of dawnshard, and is it possible, Dawnshards irrespective of whose investiture (from all shards) can like use, as Ruin's and Preservation's power together is something with stable natural change, so is that dawnshard of change powered by harmony s investiture l?

N by the way it's mentioned, and as Ruin's body in Mistborn, is raysium the body/power of adonalsium
