The '''Ones Above''' is the colloquial name for a spacefaring group that regularly visits the [[Eelakin]] people on [[First of the Sun]].{{book ref|sixth}} Their name references the fact that they arrived in the sky above First of the Sun in spaceships.
 
Some version of the Ones Above was seen in the [[cosmere]] prior to the publication of ''Sixth of the Dusk''.{{wob ref|2665}}{{wob ref|1390}}{{wob ref|12294}} Since no other works take place on First of the Sun, this means that they have been part of the storyline on another planet.{{wob ref|4795}} It is implied that the Ones Above travel to First of the Sun only through space, and not by [[worldhopping]],{{wob ref|3295}}{{wob ref|1782}} partly because the [[perpendicularity]] on the planet is in an exceptionally dangerous location.{{wob ref|5772}}
{{theory}}
Chronologically, ''Sixth of the Dusk'' occurs near the end of Brandon's overall plans for the cosmere.{{book ref|sixth|part=postscript}}{{wob ref|1782}} Brandon has mentioned that his long-term plan for the ''[[Mistborn (series)|Mistborn]]'' series includes books in a sci-fi setting that include FTL (faster-than-light) space travel.{{wob ref|1476}}{{wob ref|9005}}{{wob ref|10012}} Based on these factsthis, it has been theorized by manymay readersbe that the Ones Above are travelers from a future version of [[Scadrial]], buthowever Brandon has declined to confirm this.{{wob ref|9320}}{{wob ref|7590}}{{wob ref|8479}} Scadrians are not the only option, as there are other societies that would be capable of space travel by that time.{{wob ref|11002}}{{wob ref|3520}} Dusk is also known to have tried food that originated on [[Roshar]].{{wob ref|2261}}
