Soul shards

Introduction
Apparently a major aspect of the world, the shards aren't fully explained. We know they're a major source of power, but different religions interpret them in different ways. Even Riala isn't very certain about them, only saying, "It really is a piece of a soul, or at least similar to one. Whose, I couldn't tell you."

When taken, the shards merge with someone's soul and grant them power, including sexual dominance. Riala says she couldn't use the one she found, but it's uncertain why. Given that all the holders seen so far are male, and that people are allegedly curious about Esthera, it seems likely that shards cannot be taken by anyone, possibly women or succubi. Under normal rules, anyway.

One thing to note about the shards is that their holders are unable to have any relationship other than confrontational. It is unknown why at the beginning of his stay in the Orgasmic Empire, Simon was able to engage in intercourse with Esthera without conflict but when participating with a threesome with Nalili and their hands came into contact, their improved relationship caused the shards nearly put his and Eshtera's souls at war.

Known Shards
There are roughly two kind of fragments: the major ones and the minor ones. Logically, the major ones give their hosts more power than the minor ones, but the latter shouldn't be underestimated because there are a high number of them and their owners have more probabilities to keep them under the radar.

Major Fragments
Not all pieces are the same size. Simon's is relatively small and Riala implies there are five that are substantially larger than the others. Exactly who possesses these five is still unknown but some of the holders above are likely among the seven and both the Lord of Blood and Skullcrusher seem like little fishes.


 * Estaven (Fucklord)
 * Esthera (Empress) - how she got/holds hers seems to be a mystery of some kind.
 * Incubus King
 * Lord of Blood
 * Lustlord
 * Skullcrusher - ex-owner now, presumably.
 * Xerces (The Anak)

Minor fragments
An owner of a small fragment can absorb others, increasing his/her power, but increasing the likelihood of being detected from the Major ones and be eliminated. Contrary to the information that was displayed here before:

That means that so far, there are only two minor fragments that have already appeared in the game:


 * Simon
 * Armor from the fortress - Riala says the armor was forged from a small fragment.
