== Overview ==
AsThere the cosmere impliesare a simultaneous existence of theten ten"core" [[Shardworld]]s, meaning (planetsworlds with mentionable"significant Shardic Influence)influence", that feature in the over-arching story of the cosmere.{{qa booksref|718|8}} There are connectedalso byseveral anminor overarching storyShardworlds.
 
Once there was the mysterious power [[Adonalsium]], whose true characteristic is still unknown. Due to unrevealed happenings in the cosmere the [[Shattering]] took place, which splintered Adonalsium in - suggested{{epigraph ref|twok|11}} - sixteen [[Shard]]s, each one of them holding a part of the original power of Adonalsium. They then inhabited the ten [[Shardworld]]s across the Cosmere inter alia being responsible for the several magic systems on each planet.
In addition to the ten core worlds, there are also untold number of other inhabited worlds in the cosmere, with either no Shardic Influence, or only a Splinter of a Shard. While the cosmere has the same structure as our universe, with galaxies, solar systems, and the like, all of the Shards and Shardworlds are located within the same compact dwarf galaxy, so there are much fewer stars and solar systems than in our own.{{17s ref|post|42426}}
 
Time flows the same on all Shardworlds unless it is being manipulated by an external force such as [[Bendalloybendalloy]] or [[Cadmiumcadmium]].{{ref|name=yalive}}
 
Note that there is no need to know anything of the Cosmerecosmere to enjoy the Cosmerecosmere books and series separately, since its story is told in background.
 
== Other Relations ==
The structure of the Cosmere is explained by the [[Realmatic Theory]].
 
The character [[Hoid]] and the organization [[Seventeenth Shard]] are speculated to be integral part of the Cosmerecosmere's narrative beside the story of the [[Shard]]s and [[Shardholder]]s.
 
== Planets ==
There are currently ten known Shardworlds. Two of these, Threnody and First of the Sun, are minor Shardworlds.
Up until now, nine of confirmed ten planets of the main story cycle are known{{qa ref|718|8}} and connected to published and announced books. There are several other worlds now known.
