Difference between revisions of "Cosmere"

The '''cosmere''' is a fictional shared universe where several of [[Brandon Sanderson]]'s books take place. As a result, books set in the cosmere share a single cosmology and underlying rules of magic, and some characters from one world will make appearances on other worlds. Despite the connections, Brandon has remained clear that one does not need any knowledge of the broader cosmere to read, understand, or enjoy books that take place in the cosmere.{{url ref|name=WhatIsCosmere|url=https://brandonsanderson.com/what-is-the-cosmere|text=What Is The Cosmere?|site=[[Brandon]]'s website}}

 

 

The shared "creation myth" of the cosmere revolves around [[Adonalsium]], the power of creation, which was broken into sixteen pieces called [[Shard]]s in an event known as the [[Shattering of Adonalsium]]. The Shards are effectively gods, and magic is derived from their power.{{msh ref|3|2}}
