'''Scadrial''' was a planet of the [[Cosmere]] and was the setting of the [[Mistborn series]].

▲==Geography and Ecosystems==
▲===Pre-Ascension Scadrial===
Scadrial before the Lord Ruler took the power at the [[Well of Ascension]] was extremely Earth-like.
It had a blue sky, with clouds, a yellow sun, flowers, green plants, and animals, like horses.
=== The World of Ash ===
At the time of the [[Final Empire]], the planet was characterised by its ashfalls and nightly mists.
When Scadrial was moved closer to the sun by Rashek, the temperature on Scadrial increased dramatically
To counter this Rashek created the [[ashmounts]] in the northern hemisphere nearby the pole, to pump ferromagnetic ash and gas into the sky to reflect some of the heat back into space.
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.{{cite}}
The Final Empire existed in the northern hemisphere, but life managed to survive elsewhere as well.
He left some of the humans on Scadrial unaltered, as a control, and moved them to the southern hemisphere, in the other cooler area in the southern hemisphere.
He gave them an unknown method to survive there.
Rashek also created some entirely new animals.
He designed new plants that could break down the falling ash, and microbes that broke it down as part of their biological processes.
The most notable new animal however was the [[mistwraith]], a creature that was made mostly of muscle, and used the bones of other deceased animals to create unique skeletal structures for itself.
They were created from all the living Feruchemists at the time of the Lord Ruler's Ascension.
Rashek also used Hemalurgy to design [[koloss]], made from humans, and [[Inquisitors]].
=== Post-Final Ascension Scadrial ===
He
He used the knowledge of his copperminds to return the geography to its original form, and restored all the animals that were extinct.
However there was one difference, the Elendel Basin.
==== The Elendel Basin ====
In the northern hemisphere of Scadrial, Sazed created an basin of fertile lands, that could never be over-farmed, and ringed it with Seran, Faleast, and Channeral mountain ranges.
The [[Originator]]s named it the [[Elendel Basin]], and built the city of [[Elendel]] in the center, on the coast of the [[Sea of Yomend]].
*Alendel▼
Most of the population of the northern hemisphere live within the Elendel Basin.
*Bilming▼
Around the edges of the Basin many people farmed the land.

The cities in the Elendel Basin include:

==== The Roughs ====
The regular lands around the Elendel Basin
Due to the bountiful nature of the basin, there were few reasons to live in the Roughs.
The cities in the Roughs include:

Scadrial
Ruin's physical forms were the beads of [[atium]], which formed in crystals in the [[Pits of Hathsin]] and the black mists.{{cite}}
Prior to Sazed's ascension both Shards had [[shardpool]]s, though it is unclear if they were changed or removed by Sazed.
Preservation's shardpool
Ruin's shardpool is the black lake, beneath the Pits of Hathsin.
