'''''Sixth of the Dusk''''' is a [[cosmere]] novella by [[Brandon Sanderson]] set on the [[Cosmere#Planets|planet]] [[First of the Sun]].{{sots ref|2013}} The novella was created as part of the [[Writing Excuses]] podcast, where Brandon, [[Dan Wells]], [[Howard Tayler]], and [[wikipedia: Mary Robinette Kowal|Mary Robinette Kowal]] each brainstormed a story, and gave feedback to each other. These stories were released together as ''Shadows Beneath'', which detailed the process of taking the drafts they each wrote, and editing them with the feedback given.{{ref|name=6otd}}

== Setting ==
This book takes place in the [[cosmere]], on a planet known as [[First of the Sun]]. Most of the story takes place on and around Patji, the largest island in an archipelago called The [[Pantheon]]. Patji is considered the father of the islands of the Pantheon, being the largest and the one that all Aviar must go to to get their talent. It is treacherous, with creatures such as Meekers, which are mice that can be trained to harm others, trees that attract different animals so after they kill each other their soil is made rich from the blood of the dead, and nightmaws, which are terrifying birdlike creatures which hunt by finding somebody's cognitive signals.
''Sixth of the Dusk'' takes place chronologically near the end of the stories set in the cosmere, sometime during the space travel sequence.{{wob ref|1782}}
