(→Primary Worlds: Massive fix to wording on the Disease Magic, as it isn't "anyone who has a disease gets magic" but moreso "some bacteria give magic".) |
(→Planets: Added the number of total planets, and erased the comment on Roshar having three planets, I feel that is kinda pointless as it is said below, and also, most systems have more than one planet in them. Three systems of which have more than one known habited planet (UTol and 2, Drominad at 3, and Roshar at 2 or 3 depending on how you count things), so doesn't feel notable enough to include there.) |

While the cosmere has a wide array of planets, fifteen are currently known that are relevant to the broader cosmere
{{image|Cosmere constellation map.jpg|A star chart of the cosmere in the Physical Realm|side=right|width=350px}}
'''[[Scadrial]]''' is the most technologically advanced planet and the most similar to [[Yolen]].{{au ref|Scadrial}}{{wob ref|6732}} Its [[Metallic Arts|three magic systems]] all use metal to store and access [[Investiture]].{{book ref|mb6|part=ars}}
'''[[Sel]]''', also known as '''Seol''', is a large planet with three great domains.{{au ref|Sel}} It has many magic systems, which are tied to the user's location and are accessed by creating shapes in the proper form, rather like programming.{{wob ref|1768}} It orbits a single star named Mashe.
The planet '''[[Taldain]]''' is tidally locked between two stars, a blue-white supergiant named AisDa, and a white dwarf named the Eye of Ridos. The side of the planet facing the former, [[Dayside]], is a vast desert where Investiture arrives from the light of the star. [[Darkside]] faces the white dwarf and is in perpetual twilight, and many things there fluoresce in ultraviolet light. Its [[Shard]], [[Autonomy]], keeps the planet isolated from the rest of the cosmere.{{au ref|Taldain}}
