“ Yes, the Shards undoubtedly used humans from Yolen as a model in creating life. ”
Yolen is a planet in the Cosmere on which the books The Liar of Partinel and Dragonsteel are set.[2]
Yolen is home to three sentient races[3] (humans, dragons, and Sho Del[4]) and was the origin of all humans in the Cosmere, with the technical exception of Scadrial where life was created directly by the Vessels of Ruin and Preservation.[5] The original sixteen Vessels (as well as Hoid and Frost) come from Yolen.[6]
Cosmere scholars like Khriss consider Yolen as the cosmere standard when describing the properties of planets, like their size and gravitation.[1]
As of the Rosharan year 1174, Yolen is still inhabited and is home to Frost.[7]
Trivia
- Brandon Sanderson named Yolen after Jane Yolen who wrote Dragon's Blood, which was one of the early fantasy books he read.[8]
