'''Scadrial''' was a planet of the [[Cosmere]] and was the setting of the [[Mistborn series]]. It contains several other planets in its system. Scadrial has no moons, but there is an extremely bright patch of stars visible in the night sky. <ref>{{wotdb|727|60}} Hero of Ages Q&A 2</ref>
== Geography
=== Classical Scadrial ===
Scadrial before the Lord Ruler took the power at the [[Well of Ascension]] was extremely Earth-like.
This decreased heat near the north pole but unfortunately, the thicker atmosphere raised the temperature of the rest of Scadrial, turning it into an uninhabitable desert, known as the [[burnlands]].
Rashek also radically altered the geography of Scadrial, rotating the crust of the planet further south, and flattening mountain ranges, and creating new ones elsewhere, all to hide the location of the Well of Ascension.
The magnetic and geographic poles of Scadrial used to be the same, but when Rashek moved the Well south from the north pole, the magnetic pole followed it.<ref name='hoa76'>{{
The Final Empire existed in the northern hemisphere, but life managed to survive elsewhere as well.
So he altered the physiology of humanity, changing them so that they were more capable of living in this new world.
He also created the Balance; he made the noblemen taller, stronger, more intelligent, and less fertile, and change everyone else, except the Terrismen, into the race that would be known as the skaa.
They were shorter, hardier, and had many children.<ref>{{bref|hoa|e|25}}</ref>
Rashek was worried that his changes to humanity would result in some unseen complication that would cause humans to become extinct.
He decided to move a portion of the population to the south pole, and leave them unchanged, giving them some other unknown method of survival.

== History & Mythology ==
By this point Alendi was in control of most if not all of Scadrial.
He was also no longer entirely his own master.
Alendi had the prophesied "piercings of the hero" which were actually Hemalurgic spikes, which allowed Ruin to subtly influence him.<ref>{{wotdb|727|30}}</ref>
===The Ascension of the Lord Ruler ===
He would grant them immortality, in exchange for their Feruchemy and humanity.
Rashek's packmen accepted his proposal, but Kwaan refused saying it was a betrayal of who the Terris were as a people.
Using the power of Preservation Rashek changed his friends and every other living Feruchemist into a mistwraith, but he attempted to destroy Kwaan, which he couldn't do with the power of Preservation, so Kwaan remained the same.<ref>{{wotdb|727|27}}</ref>
Using the secrets of Hemalurgy, Rashek returned his companions to sentience, using spikes to change them from mistwraiths into kandra.
After this, the last of Rashek's power faded, and he returned to his regular state of existence, although he was now a Sliver of Preservation.
=== The [[Battle of Luthadel]] ===
Sazed was wise enough to realize that Straff Venture was wily enough to simply feign a retreat, allowing the koloss to overthrow Luthadel.
Then Straff himself would return, destroy the weakened koloss, and be proclaimed as the city's savior.
Sazed knew that it was only a matter of time until their destruction, and realized that he had to save Elend and Vin.
With the help of the remainder of Kelsier's crew he hatched a plot.
Sazed tricked Vin into believing that he knew the location of the Well of Ascension, and sent her Elend, and Spook on a journey following a false map to what she believed is the only hope of Luthadel's salvation.
After Vin and Elend leave the koloss fell on the city in attack.
Clubs is killed fleeing from his gate with Breeze.
Dockson and Tindwyl also fall to various groups of marauding koloss.
Sazed in control of Iron Gate manages to hold off the koloss with the help of his Feruchemical powers.
Just as his metalminds lost the last of their chares, Vin returned to help him fight.
Spook had confessed that they were being tricked to Vin so she had gone back to Luthadel to try to stop the koloss.
Unfortunately her Allomantic reserves were low, and before long she was out of pewter, which she had been dragging on for months.
Just before the koloss overwhelm her, Vin burns [[duralumin]] and [[brass]] simultaneously, managing to take control of the koloss through their Hemalurgic spikes.
She used her new found power to quickly turn the tide of the battle, by taking control of all the rest of the koloss.
The next day the koloss and the remnants of Luthadel's army attacked Straff's army.
Cett's army joined in to attack Straff as well, he had been convinced to do so by his daughter [[Allriane]], who was in love with Breeze.
Vin personally split Straff Venture in half with a massive koloss sword, and proceeded to utterly destroy Straff's troops.
She then made Penrod, Cett, and Staff's sole surviving general [[Janarle]] to swear allegiance to Elend as their emperor.
=== Ruin's Escape ===
After Elend returned to Luthadel, Vin came to a realization.
She finally was able to pinpoint the Well's location through it's pulses.
It was located underneath Kredik Shaw, with it's entrance in the Lord Ruler's sanctuary.
As she and Elend went to the Well to give up the power as the prophecies said, Sazed was visited by the remainder of Leras's mind in the form of the mist spirit.
It made him understand that Vin should not give the power of the Well up, and then Sazed went to try to stop her.
When Sazed arrives at Kredic Shaw he is ambushed by Marsh who was being controlled by Ruin, who would have done whatever it took so that Vin would giv up the power.
Marsh and Sazed fought and along with Ham's help, Sazed beat Marsh.
They were too late to stop Vin though.
She and Elend had reached the Chamber of Ascension when the mist spirit appeared, and slashed Elend in the gut, dealing him a mortal wound in an attempt to get Vin to use the power to save him.
Vin tearfully takes up the power, and hears a voice whispering too her, telling her to give it the power, so it can save the world.
Believing that she had done the right thing, Vin gave it the power, and as she returns to her regular form she hears a scream of "I'm Free!"
Vin realized that she had somehow made the wrong choice, the voice, Ruin's voice, was an evil thing and she had inadvertently released it.
Vin went to the dying Elend's side, and the mist spirit showed her a bead of metal, Lerasium, in the chamber, and made her understand that Elend should swallow it.
She washed it down his throat with a vial of her metals, and Elend became a full Misborn, and was able to burn pewter, making his wound survivable.
