'''Scadrial''' is a planet of the [[Cosmere]] and is the setting of the [[Mistborn (series)|Mistborn series]]. It contains several other planets in its system. Scadrial has no moon, but there is an [[Starbelt|extremely bright patch of stars visible in the night sky]].{{wob ref|6089}} People from Scadrial are called Scadrians.{{wob ref|1075}}
The people to the south are highly advanced. This is mentioned by [[Harmony]] himself several times, as he ponders over whether he has made life too easy for those living in the Basin, thus stunting their need to advance to survive. They are capable of using metalminds without any identity to them, which can then be used by anyone.{{book ref|mb6|21}} They also have access to large numbers of flying craft. Their mining is extensive, as [[Allik Neverfar]] mentions that it is common knowledge that they managed to dig down deep enough into the mantle for temperatures to increase greatly, even on a frozen continent full of ice.{{book ref|mb6|24}} Furthermore they also have access to a strange metal known as "ettmetal", which is capable of storing pure invesiture in it to use as a fuel source for allomancy. This metal is somewhat similar to alkali metals in that it reacts fiercely with water, leading to combustion, and thus is used by the southern peoples in their bombs.{{book ref|mb6|21}}
=== Calendar ===

Millenia ago, the [[Shard]]s [[Ruin]] and [[Preservation]] arrived on Scadrial. Since they were paired Shards with opposite intents, nothing could be created or destroyed, as they wished it could be. They were locked in an eternal conflict. But then a pact was struck. Preservation offered Ruin a bargain. If Ruin would help him create life on Scadrial, to make plants and animals, Preservation would eventually allow him to destroy the whole planet. In addition to his word, Preservation offered him proof that Ruin could destroy everything. Preservation's greatest wish was to create sentient life, humans patterned after the other humans [[Ati]] and [[Leras]] had once known. In order to create humans with a spark of intelligence, it would require a small amount more of Preservation's power than Ruin's. This made Preservation slightly weaker, meaning Ruin would eventually overcome his opposite, and destroy Scadrial. However, Preservation decided to break the agreement, in order to save the world. He couldn't overcome Ruin with his power, he was too weak. So Preservation decided to trap Ruin's mind in a prison, where Ruin would be practically powerless. In order to trap Ruin's mind Preservation used his own mind to forge the prison, sacrificing his cognition for the greater good.
