I believe the Shard of Evil originated from the universe that the Obyriths destroyed and it was there intent for Tharizdun to find it so they can do the same to the setting universe.
Demonomicon says it was Pazuzu's idea to make the shard and lure Tharizdun to find it, which allowed the obyrith to escape their dying universe in an attempt to rule the World Axis cosmology. It says the obyrith wanted to reshape the universe to their whims by having Tharizdun place the shard in the Astral Sea, not destroy it (at least in this passage).
The obyriths done goofed though because Tharizdun, though driven mad by the shard, knew better than to put it in the Astral Sea and placed the shard in the Elemental Chaos instead which created the Abyss and the first demons before pulling the obyrith through. An empowered Tharizdun fought with the obyrith and utterly wrecked face so that only 12 obyrith survived (I assume meaning named obyriths since sibriex were still a thing?).
