The underlying mythology of the cosmere, so far, revolves around [[Adonalsium]], the power of creation, which was broken into sixteen pieces called [[Shard]]s. The Shards are effectively gods, and almost all magic is derived from them.
 
==Physical Properties and Forces==
 
The structure and physics of the cosmere are the same as our own, but the main story of the cosmere occurs on a compact dwarf galaxy, meaning it has many fewer stars and systems than our universe.{{17s ref|post|42426}} Time flows the same on the cosmere (except under special magical effects, such as [[Allomancy|Allomantic]] [[cadmium]] and [[bendalloy]]).{{ref|name=yalive}}
 
There are ten primary worlds in the cosmere, called [[Shardworld]]s, as the Shards of Adonalsium play major roles there.{{qa ref|718|8}} There are also minor worlds, where Shards have little influence, but may have lesser powers, like [[Splinter]]s on them.{{cite}} Magic on these planets are called [[Investiture]], or manifestations of Investiture,{{citebook ref|mb4|part=ars}} and all magic we've seen has been derived from the Shard's (or Adonalsium's) power.{{qa ref|979|160|Are there any magic systems in the cosmere that aren't shard based?|date=Apr 15th 2013}}
 
The physical universe of the cosmere only tells one part of the story. In fact, there are [[Realmatic Theory|three Realms]] of existence: the Physical Realm, the Cognitive Realm, and the Spiritual Realm that all coexist simultaneously.{{cite}} Investiture transcends all three of these Realms.{{qa ref|1069|3|What is the Realmatic composition of Investiture?|date=Mar 11th 2014}} There is also something beyond the Three Realms, where people "pass on," but Brandon does not wish to reveal anything about it.{{cite}}
 
There are also other forces outside of things derived from Adonalsium. One is a force that opposes Adonalsium, which still exists{{qa ref|979|85|Before Adonalsium shattered, was it consciously opposed by something, be it people or another cosmic force? Is whatever opposed it still around?|date=Apr 15, 2013}}, and some say there are "subtle forces" being manifest, separate from Adonalsium.{{qa ref|836|44|There are those who would say there are other subtle forces being manifest|Sep 22nd, 2012}}{{cite}}
 
==Planets==
Humans existed on worlds before this time,{{qa ref|1115|5|Were any of the central cosmere worlds inhabited by humans?|date=Jan 17th, 2015}} though how many is unknown. At the very least, there were humans on [[Yolen]], as [[Hoid]] is from there,{{cite}} and was there before the [[Shattering]].{{cite}} Magic ([[Investiture]]) also existed prior to the Shattering, though its form was different.{{qa ref|977|51|Before Adonalsium was shattered, was there magic in the Cosmere and what form did it take?|date=Sept 2012}}
 
There iswas a force that opposes Adonalsium, and it still exists.{{qa ref|979|85|Before Adonalsium shattered, was it consciously opposed by something, be it people or another cosmic force? Is whatever opposed it still around?|date=Apr 15, 2013}} Adonalsium's opposition alsowhich created a weapon,{{qa ref|1103|1|There was a weapon created by the opposition of Adonalsium|date=Mar 4th, 2014}} but important specifics, such as if it is still around, or if it had played a role in Adonalsium's Shattering, are unknown. There was once a plot to destroy Adonalsium, which had failed.{{qa ref|1104|1|Long ago there was a plot to destroy Adonalsium. It failed|date=Jan 6th, 2015}}
