Scadrial is home to two Shards, [[Ruin]], and [[Preservation]]. The physical forms of Preservation could be found in the beads of [[Lerasium]], and the white mists. Ruin's physical forms were the beads of [[atium]], which formed in crystals in the [[Pits of Hathsin]] and the black mists.{{wob ref|5786}}
Prior to [[Sazed]]'s ascension both Shards had [[Perpendicularity|Perpendicularities]], though it is unclear if they were changed or removed by Sazed. Preservation's Perpendicularity was the Well of Ascension, previously located at the north pole of Scadrial, but moved to under [[Kredik Shaw]] in [[Luthadel]]. Ruin's Perpendicularity was a black lake, beneath the Pits of Hathsin. This was destroyed by Kelsier, presumably rendering it useless.{{wob ref|5525}} The Pits of Hathsin were also used as the gate to Scadrial in a large system of interplanetary trade, before they were destroyed.{{msh ref|3|2}}{{wob ref|1514}}
After Sazed took the power of both shards the powers "intermingled", becoming [[Harmony]].{{wob ref|4115}} Harmony is referred to as a shard, despite it being made of two shards, for the same reason that a king of two countries is still a king.{{wob ref|6486}}
An interplanetary, Shard-related threat known as Trell is currently encroaching on and influencing Scadrial during the events of Mistborn Era 2.{{book ref|mb6|28}}{{epigraph ref|sa4|28}}{{wob ref|11251}}{{wob ref|8631}}
For some reason, Scadrial was visited by "several" Shards before the events of ''Mistborn'' (the era of which is unknown).{{wob ref|9386}} Odium has influence on Scadrial.{{wob ref|6141}}
