I think ambition could have empowered his/her peeps to advance their technology the fastest out of all the shards. Wit noted when ambition died, several worlds were destroyed in the process. Also, Odium has a great way of inciting civilizations to self destruct. So it seems likely that Ambition was in the lead of the tech race, had already established space travel as well as the production of "anti-light" and Odium snuck in and tricked people to push all the wrong buttons and blow everything up. Couple of questions this begs: 1. Is the graveyard of ambition a place to find remnants of advanced technology? 2. Is the power of ambition going to coalesce and find a new host? 2.1 if so, will the power remember what had happened? 2.2 if so, could ambition easily assimilate the leading tech of other shards civilizations and then become the biggest threat to the cosmere again? 3. If not, could automony assimilate the power of ambition?

When Odium claimed Jezzriens honor blade, he corrupted it with his own investiture. I believe this logically turned the blade into a "Blade of War" Or a "Retribution Blade", fitting for the guy who sought retribution against the late king Elokar. Regardless, the oathpact functioned because the ten heralds had combined investiture of shards 9 and 10, but the blades were of only honor. Honor said this makes them work as a sort of lock. Hypothetically, if the oathpact was reforged with an honor blade corrupted with that "big-mad-feeling-alloy" of odium, then Odium could potentially say "lol" and unlock his prison lock from the inside. Also, fun fact: - five is the number of endowment - endowment is the investiture of nightblood - endowments sword was used to kill Mraise (old daddy odium) - this was then a "gift" or an "endowment" of odium's shard from one host to another, thanks to series of cultivating events : p - endowment and cultivation, you cheeky shards.
