I currently have a pet theory--
Brandon Sanderson
Oh yeah? What is it?
Questioner
That... there's a-- That there was-- Whatever the fourth Shard that Odium [Splintered]-- People-- The people who founded Threnody were--
Brandon Sanderson
So you should read Khriss' introductions to the worlds in the Cosmere Collection.

Does the Shard of Ambition have anything to do with the Bondsmith?
Brandon Sanderson
Shard of Ambition have anything to do with the Bondsmith, no, good question. Oh! I see what you guys are getting at. Who's the third Bondsmith... So, uhh, this is a RAFO. I will eventually start talking about the third Bondsmith. I'm gonna RAFO all questions about it for a while though. So just warning you guys.

Does Ambition factor into Sel, either in the events we've seen on-planet or in terms of where Uli Da was ultimately spintered?
Brandon Sanderson
I'll RAFO this for now. Suffice it to say that this specific splintering has had far-reaching effects.

Is Uli Da Ambition?
Brandon Sanderson [PENDING REVIEW]
Yes... That one's pretty obvious, though, right?

Some of the few Shards Rayse Splintered included Ambition, I believe, Dominion, and Devotion.
Brandon Sanderson
Yes.
Argent
And those were all way back, in the history. So, we know that the Shards' personalities overrides the Vessel's personality over time?
Brandon Sanderson
Strongly influence, and depending on the individual, override.
Argent
Okay. So did Rayse choose those Shards because--
Brandon Sanderson
He went after Ambition first, but didn't find Ambition until after going after Devotion and Dominion. But Ambition was number one on his hit list.
Argent
Was it because of the Shard or because of the Vessel? Like did he hate the person?
Brandon Sanderson
In this case it was the Shard, primarily, that drove him--
Argent
Oh, he was maybe afraid the Shard would grow too powerful and take over--
Brandon Sanderson
He was afraid that this Shard that would rival him. And so he's like "This one is number one on the hit list. We're taking down Ambition." But then he got trapped in the Rosharan system.

Is Uli Da a Sho Del?
Brandon Sanderson [PENDING REVIEW]
Yeah.
Chaos [PENDING REVIEW]
Can we post that?
Brandon Sanderson [PENDING REVIEW]
Yeah you can go ahead and post that. That's fine.
Chaos [PENDING REVIEW]
I figured that from the...
Brandon Sanderson [PENDING REVIEW]
Right, the naming convention makes it really obvious.
Chaos [PENDING REVIEW]
But that's not posted on the Dragonsteel sample so...
Brandon Sanderson [PENDING REVIEW]
Right. But that's canon. It's pretty obvious to me... And so it's fine with me canonizing it. I mean, I've been coy with it for years. But when I say there are Shards that aren't human. There are three races on Yolen... Adding the math together is going to get you a pretty obvious answer.

Ambition, the Shard *inaudible*. Is that the one you previously referred to as not on a planet?
Brandon Sanderson (paraphrased)
Ambition would fulfill that requirement, but that's not the one I was referring to.
