Coppermind:Welcome
Welcome to the Coppermind, the comprehensive wiki about Brandon Sanderson, his novels, and the cosmere, by the official Brandon Sanderson fansite, 17th Shard. Want to know more about the Stormlight Archive, Mistborn, Elantris, Warbreaker, the Skyward series, and everything else Brandon? You've come to the right place! We have 4325 articles and we're expanding frequently!
Discovering us for the first time? Did you know that almost all of Brandon's adult fantasy works are all set in the same universe? It's true! They are all in a universe called the cosmere, sharing the same mythology, rules to the magic, and more. As such, there will likely be spoilers for other series in the articles you read, since a lot of it is connected! If you'd like to learn about the cosmere, check out:

While she visited them, she told them stories of other people she had met, their loves, their losses, and how they had come to find one another.
