I'm not as sure, though it depends on when Honor was splintered. Honor's splintering would have to predate the Iri.

I must admit, I've not really had a good look into what is known of Yolen, or really thought through the implications there. We don't really know why Adonalsium shattered. The assumption is that it was not voluntarily, but is that just inferred with the word 'shattered'? Most things don't spontaneously shatter, but if Adonalsium had some form of sentience? I suppose probably something more like 'split' would have been used if it consciously divided itself. I would ask the question however, why when it shattered did it form 16 shards of equal power, which, through their individual intent, sorta have a purpose? Or even just, why equal power? Do we know what happened to Yolen after Adonalsium shattered, and the shards left? Do we know if any shards remained? I'm curious, cos I'd like to know why the shards left to go throughout the cosmere, opposed to remaining on Yolen. On a side note, all this would put a different slant on what Hoid is doing, why he's opposing Odium, because Odium would be working to prevent Adonalsium reformed.

I don't know if this has been suggested or disproved yet, but I thought I'd put this out there. Ym describes his religion (the Iriali religion) to the boy he's fitting with shoes. He says talks about One, which was once One, but is now Many. The reason for being many was to gain experiences that could only be experienced by the Many being in different circumstances, some better, some worse. I was wondering if this has any link with Adonalsium. We know that Adonalsium split into 12 16 shards (Thanks Gamma), each which embodies a particular Intent, which were then went throughout the Cosmere, settling on planets, and investing themselves, sometimes even creating life/consciousness. They then (or as a result of the previous) influenced the world with their Intents, rewarding actions that resulted in particular ways. I believe it has been wondered what the point of Adonalsium would be before it split. Each shard has an intent, but add them all together and what do you get? Adding two opposing Intents (or their interpretations by their wielders) resulted in Harmony in the case of Sel(?) Scandrial. Is this not likely to also be the result of all intents being One? If I've missed something, or if this sounds like rubbish, or WOB has already ruled this out, please tell me! Thanks
