The '''cosmere''' is a fictional shared universe where several of [[Brandon Sanderson]]'s books take place. As a result books set in the cosmere share a single cosmology and underlying rules of magic, and some characters from one world will make appearances on other worlds. Despite the connections, Brandon has remained clear that one does not need any knowledge of the broader cosmere to read, understand or enjoy books that take place in the cosmere.{{url ref|name=WhatIsCosmere|url=https://brandonsanderson.com/what-is-the-cosmere|text=What Is The Cosmere?|site=[[Brandon]]'s website}}
The '''cosmere'''{{wob ref|5952}} is a fictional universe where Brandon Sanderson's adult epic fantasies (including [[Elantris (book)|Elantris]], [[Mistborn (series)|Mistborn]], [[Warbreaker]], [[The Stormlight Archive]], and [[White Sand]]) are all set.{{wob ref|4487}} It does not contain Earth.{{wob ref|4845}}
 
Brandon has said that you do not need any cosmere knowledge to understand the books, and that they can be enjoyed separately, but it will be necessary eventually to have a certain understanding of Realmatic Theory.{{wob ref|4778}}{{wob ref|9762}} Elements of the cosmere are slowly being added into the books, behindand thewill scenes, until theyeventually come intoto the forefront within the [[Dragonsteel]] series and the [[Mistborn Era 4|final Mistborn trilogy]].{{wob ref|6868}}
 
Current series in the cosmere are [[Elantris trilogy|Elantris]], [[Mistborn (series)|Mistborn]], ''[[Warbreaker]]'' and its eventual sequel, [[The Stormlight Archive]], and [[White Sand]].{{ref|name=WhatIsCosmere}} For a complete list of books in the cosmere, see [[#Bibliography of the Cosmere|the bibliography section below]].
The underlying mythology of the cosmere revolves around [[Adonalsium]], the power of creation, which was broken into sixteen pieces called [[Shard]]s. The Shards are effectively gods, and magic is derived from their power.

=== Odium's Quest ===
{{quote
| One need only look at the aftermath of his brief visit to Sel to see proof of what I say. In case you have turned a blind eye to that disaster, know that Aona and Skai are both dead, and that which they held has been Splintered. Presumably to prevent anyone from rising up to challenge Rayse.

| He bears the weight of God's own divine hatred, separated from the virtues that gave it context. He is what we made him to be, old friend. And that is what he, unfortunately, wished to become.

{{sidequote
|During my unpublished days I wrote thirteen books, only one of which was a sequel. ... But I wanted to be writing big epics. This is what I always wanted to do; something like the Wheel of Time. So I began plotting a large, massive series where all these books were connected, so I could kind of "stealth" have a large series without the editors knowing I was sending them books from the same series. It was mostly just a thing for me, to help me do the writing I wanted to be doing. And then when publication came I continued to do that, and told the story behind the story.

{{sidequote
| I hope that people will stick with me for all these books, because I'll do a lot of them. But they will fit together in some really cool ways once they are all done. I think you'll be very very impressed, but that's a while off.

== Trivia ==
=== Capitalization ===
The capitalization of the word "cosmere" is inconsistent at best from official sources. Generally, in the novels, like Stormlight Archive books, cosmere is uncapitalized,{{book ref|sa1|54}}{{epigraph ref|sa2|75}} but exclusively in [[The Alloy of Law]], its [[Ars Arcanum]] refers to it with a capital C.{{book ref|mb4|part=ars}} Adding to the confusion, these Ars Arcanum are written by the same person,{{wob ref|9875}} and [[Words of Radiance]]'s Ars Arcanum uses lowercase.{{book ref|sa2|part=ars}}
 
From interviews where Brandon types responses, Brandon sometimes capitalizes cosmere,{{wob ref|9015}} and sometimes leaves it uncapitalized.{{wob ref|1084}} [[Peter Ahlstrom]], Brandon's assistant, has said that generally, cosmere is uncapitalized in books, but capitalized outside of them.{{tweet ref|607208955069100032}}
