Soul Shard
This item is needed for enhancing Aesir, learning secret Knowledge in the Oracle, training tier VIII warriors and improving their stats in the Valkyries' Citadel, upgrading buildings between levels 36 and 40, and for revealing slots in the schedule for the Kingdoms Battle: Fury.
You can get Soul Shards:

Don't try to obtain Soul Shards in ways that violate the game rules. We will remove all items that were obtained via cheating. If you've already spent some or all of them, your Soul Shard balance will become negative, and we will impose a restriction on your account. This restriction won't let you use Soul Shards until you've earned a sufficient quantity of them fairly and restored a positive balance.
