Scadrial is home to two Shards, [[Ruin]], and [[Preservation]]. The physical forms of Preservation could be found in the beads of [[Lerasiumlerasium]], and the white mists.{{epigraph ref|mb3|14}}{{epigraph ref|mb3|76}}{{epigraph ref|mb3|77}} Ruin's physical forms were the beads of [[atium]], which formed in crystals in the [[Pits of Hathsin]] and the black mists.{{epigraph ref|mb3|19}}{{epigraph ref|mb3|78}}{{wob ref|5786}}
 
Prior to [[Sazed]]'s ascensionAscension both Shards had [[Perpendicularity|Perpendicularitiesperpendicularities]], though it is unclear if they were changed or removed by Sazed. Preservation's Perpendicularityperpendicularity was the Well of Ascension, previously located at the north pole of Scadrial, but moved to under [[Kredik Shaw]] in [[Luthadel]]. Ruin's Perpendicularityperpendicularity 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}}
 
It is likely through this interplanetary trade that various creatures from other planets entered into Skaa folklore, such as shades and spren.{{book ref|mb3|27}}
 
After Sazed took the power of both shards the powers "intermingled", becoming [[Harmony]].{{book ref|mb3|82}}{{wob ref|4115}} Harmony is referred to as a shardShard, despite it being made of two shardsShards, for the same reason that a king of two countries is still a king.{{wob ref|6486}}
 
[[Autonomy]] began to encroach on and try to take over or destroy Scadrial in the 4th century PC, having the Set to do her bidding on Scadrial.{{book ref|mb7|19}} Millennia before, she brought about the founding of the faith of [[Trelagism]], as a seed to help her gain control of the planet later, if she deemed it necessary.{{book ref|mb7|20}} After the premature detonation of the harmonium bomb, stopping the destruction of Elendel, and the destruction of her nascent perpindicularityperpendicularity, she retreated from the planet, with full intention to return.{{book ref|mb7|epilogue|4}}
 
Scadrial is one of the centres of the Ghostbloods, an organization that has spread all across the cosmere.{{book ref|mb7|39}}{{book ref|mb7|40}}{{book ref|mb7|47}}{{book ref|mb7|epilogue|1}} This has mainly been seen on Roshar, with the Ghostbloods seeking a way to carry Investiture off of Roshar, due to how easily accessible Investiture is on Roshar compared to other planets,{{book ref|sa4|13}} and to gain knowledge from the Heralds to try and find out how to help Kelsier escape his bonds to Scadrial.{{book ref|sa4|82}} This all likely connects to the Ghostbloods focus on protecting Scadrial at all costs.{{book ref|mb7|47}}
