The '''Scadrian system''' is the name given to the planetary system containing the [[ShardworldCosmere#Planets|planet]] of [[Scadrial]]. In addition to Scadrial, the system includes two gas giants, two dwarf planets, and a comet belt.{{au ref|scadrian}}

;[[Scadrial]]
The [[Mistbornfirst series]]planet isfrom setits onsun. thisThis planet. It was created entirely by the Shards of Preservation and Ruin, who made their home here.{{au ref|scadrian}} The planet's orbit has changed multiple times. At the onset of the [[Final Empire]], [[Rashek]] used the power at the [[Well of Ascension]] to bring the planet nearer the sun in order to burn away the [[Deepness]].{{epigraph ref|mb3|4}} This necessitated the creation of [[ashmounts]] to block out the too-close sun. [[Harmony]] corrected the orbit to its current position upon his [[Ascension]].{{book ref|hoa|82}}

== Astronomy ==
In physical space, [[Rosharan System | Roshar]] appears to be the nearest solar system. Its star is part of the "AwakenerThe Giver" constellation.{{file ref|Cosmere constellation map.jpg|Cosmere constellation map}}{{wob ref|8089}}{{wob ref|8091}} The Scadrian [[Cognitive Realm]] is known as [[Expanse of the Vapors]], and can be accessed from [[Roshar]]. It is close enough to the [[Threnody | Threnodite Cognitive Realm]] that [[shade]]s appearing at its borders are a legitimate concern.{{msh ref|5|2}}
 
== Inhabitants ==
Over centuries, several people have held the power of the Well of Ascension.{{wob ref|6070}}{{wob ref|3531}} A number of civilizations have developed during that period, and the technological advancement had almost reached the steam age. The penultimate of those holders was a Terrisman named [[Rashek]], who moved the planet closer to the sun in an attempt to burn away the [[Deepness]] while holding the power, and folded all the existing states into the [[Final Empire]] under his rule. The last holder, [[Vin]], chose to release the power - releasing Ruin as well - due to the Shard's misdirection. The following events saw Ruin and Preservation merged into [[Harmony]], who restored the system to its previous orbit and rejuvenated the land in an event known as the Catacendre.
 
In the Fourth-century [[Catacendre|PC]], [[Autonomy|Autonomy]] attempted to invade the system, however this attempt was foiled by [[Marasi|Marasi]], [[Wax]], [[Wayne]] and [[Ghostbloods|the Ghostbloods]] in {{date|348|FA}}.
While the civilization on Scadrial has since recovered from this ordeal, in recent years the system appears to be invaded by an [[Trell (Trellism)|unknown power]].{{book ref|mb6|28}}
