The first humans lived on [[Yolen]] and were created by Adonalsium.{{wob ref|5702}}{{msh ref|3|2}} Yolen was also home to [[dragon (cosmere)|dragons]] and [[Sho Del]].{{wob ref|9676}} At some point, a poorly-understood and parasitic ecosystem hostile to humans, known as fainlife, began to develop on Yolen. It began to spread and overtake the landscape, though the other inhabitants eventually learned how to keep it in check.{{wob ref|7825}} Plants and land overtaken by fainlife retain their shape, but turn bone-white and spill red liquid when crushed or snapped.{{wob ref|9518}} Information about fainlife remains accessible enough in the modern cosmere that [[Khriss]] was able to mention it to cosmere-aware people without need for explanation.{{au ref|Scadrial}} Prior to the Shattering, Yolen's technology was likely pre-industrial.{{wob ref|9882}}

Most of the other planets in the cosmere existed and were named prior to the Shattering.{{wob ref|7262}} During this time, Adonalsium created the entire [[Rosharan system]] and grew the supercontinent on the planet [[Roshar]]; as a result, the continent is shaped like the two-dimensional projection of a [[wikipedia: Julia set|Julia set]].{{wob ref|9283}}{{wob ref|3953}} Interestingly, [[fabrial]]s could have existed on Roshar during this time, if Adonalsium had allowed them, but he had some sort of limits on the system that would have prevented it.{{wob ref|13333}}

Eventually, a group of people that opposed Adonalsium came together and plotted its destruction.{{wob ref|4078}}{{wob ref|2539}} They created a weapon,{{wob ref|5602}} which was expended in its use;{{wob ref|2246}} though remnants of it are the cause of [[Hoid]]'s immortality.{{wob ref|10439}} The group consisted of people of all three sapient species on [[Yolen]]: humans. [[dragon (cosmere)|dragons]], and [[Sho Del]].{{wob ref|9676}} Possibly by using that weapon, in an event known as the [[Shattering of Adonalsium]], that group of people managed to destroy Adonalsium and split it into the sixteen [[Shard]]s of Adonalsium. They did so intentionally and,{{wob ref|4438}} byBy doing so, they became the first Vessels of the Shards.{{msh ref|3|2}} There was some sort of force or property of the cosmere that caused Adonalsium to shatter into the sixteen Shards that it did,{{wob ref|9956}} and the distribution of the Shards to the Vessels was not random.{{wob ref|5490}} The Shattering occured on Yolen, though there is some "weirdness" with regard to Yolen and location,{{wob ref|11602}} and occurred all at once.{{wob ref|1292}} As a result of the Shattering, all Investiture in the cosmere became aligned with one of the sixteen Shards.{{wob ref|8605}}

After the Shattering, the new Vessels made some sort of agreement to not interfere with each other,{{epigraph ref|sa3|39}} though the exact agreement was somewhat ambiguous and the Vessels who suggested it did not make sure to get a formal oath from the others.{{wob ref|10835}}{{wob ref|13144}} Regardless, the Shards allthen eventuallywent their separate ways.

Soon after the Shattering, or possiblepossibly even beforehand, the Vessel of Odium, Rayse, decided he wanted to become the strongest being in the cosmere.{{wob ref|6685}} However, Odium is, by its nature, selfish and Rayse did not want the intent of an additional Shard to make him into something else, so he instead decided to destroy the other Shards so that there would be no one left to challenge him.{{wob ref|6685}}{{wob ref|4130}} To do so, he developed a way to [[Splinter]] a Shard's power, which also results in the death of its Vessel.{{epigraph ref|sa1|22}}

Sometime after [[Honor]] and [[Cultivation]] arrived thereon [[Roshar]], Odium traveled to the [[Rosharan system]].{{wob ref|9934}} Odium never intended to Invest himself in a planet,{{wob ref|227}} but, at some point, he became Invested in the Rosharan system to the point where he would now have to leave some of his power behind or forcibly tear it out in order to leave.{{wob ref|9852}} At some point while he was in the system, Honor and Cultivation used their power to trap him in the system.{{book ref|sa3|38}}

Some time after the [[Recreance]],{{wob ref|8144}} [[Odium]] finally managed to [[Splinter]] [[Honor]],{{wob ref|9810}} even though [[Cultivation]] was assisting Honor in some way.{{wob ref|2729}} Honor, however, had prepared for this eventuality by, andamong hadother things, givengiving the [[Stormfather]] the power to create new [[honorspren]] and recordedrecording a series of visions for the Stormfather to show to potential [[Order of Bondsmiths|Bondsmiths]].{{book ref|sa3|28}}

Some people who are aware of the broader cosmere have learned how to travel between planets and are known as worldhoppers. Since space in the Cognitive Realm is linked to how people think about that region, most of outer space is extremely compressed in the Cognitive Realm.{{wob ref|1392}} Therefore, if one could shift from the Physical to the Cognitive Realm, he or shethey could quickly travel between planets. The most common method for transfer to the Cognitive Realm is by going through a [[perpendicularity]], though it is also possible with the [[Surgebinding#Transportation|Surge of Transportation]].{{wob ref|1525}} Travel is also possible through the Physical Realm, though it takes a long time without faster-than-light travel,{{wob ref|12901}} which isall expectedplanets tocould bedevelop, developed inthough [[MistbornScadrial]] (series)#Erais 4|Mistbornexpected Erato 4]]take the lead on.{{wob ref|90053543}}{{wob ref|3912}}

Hoid is a mysterious worldhopper who has been alive since before the Shattering of Adonalsium and was present for that event.{{wob ref|5077}} He has collected a variety of Invested items from around the cosmere and gained access to multiple Invested Arts.{{wob ref|5077}}{{article ref|Hoid#Abilities}} His objectiveslong-term goals are rather unclear, thoughbut he can use [[Fortune]] to know the right place and the right time to be.{{wob ref|2567}} He is an adamant opponent of Odium's attempts to become the sole god of the cosmere,. andHe has written to [[Frost]], [[Endowment]], [[Autonomy]], and [[Harmony]], hoping to enlist their help in dealing with Odium, but to no avail.{{article ref|Letters}} He has some ability to mainpulate [[Fortune]], which lets him learn where and when he needs to be to advance his goals, though he often doesn't know why being somewhere is important.{{wob ref|2567}}{{book ref|sa2|67}}

[[Silverlight]] is a city in the [[Cognitive Realm]] with both worldhoppers and long-term residents, as well as at least one university.{{wob ref|2555}}{{wob ref|3310}} The researcher [[Khriss]], the most knowledgeable person in the cosmere and author of the [[Ars Arcanum|Ars Arcana]],{{wob ref|5623}}{{wob ref|6873}} is associated with Silverlight and at least one university there;.{{wob ref|8342}} herHer employee, [[Nazrilof|Nazh]], who, among other things, draws and annotates maps, and collects other things for Khriss likely has ties there as well.{{wob ref|5623}}{{wob ref|5341}} They are researchers,{{msh ref|3|1}} like the Seventeenth Shard, though their relationship with that group is unclear.

The [[Ire]] is a group of worldhopping [[Elantrian]]s. They existed prior to the [[Reod]] and were off-world when it occurred, which mymay have played a role in allowing them to weather it.{{wob ref|10476}} Their objectives are unclear, though they did attempt to Ascend one of their members as the Vessel of Preservation after Leras died.{{msh ref|5|2}} At that time, they were at least associated with a group whose forces were containingkeeping the [[Shade]]s of [[Threnody]] contained in the [[Threnodite system]].{{msh ref|5|2}}

When Brandon was beginning writingto write and trying to get published, he loved gigantic epic fantasy series. He knew, however, that starting with a big series might not be the best idea. If he wrote four books in a series, and the first one didn't get published, he couldn't submit his sequels, so he decided instead to focus on standalone stories. However, he still loved the idea of a huge epic series, so he decided to create a "hidden" epic to link his novels together. Brandon had seen other authors who made a single universe for all their books, like Isaac Asimov, but didn't like how Asimov had to retcon and shoehorn things together to connect theirhis books, and so wanted to build the cosmere from the beginning, so it would always be consistent.{{wob ref|9813}}

Some ideas that came into the worldbuilding of the cosmere came from Plato's theory of forms, which contributed to the development of [[Realmatic Theory]]. In this, the distinction of what is perceived as "ideal" and what is the true ideal is important: true ideals have much to do with the Spiritual Realm, while people's perception of ideals deals with the Cognitive Realm. Another influencesinfluence is Spinoza, with the idea that God is in everything.{{wob ref|4051}} Brandon also incorporated the idea of a "unifying theory of everything" from physics tointo the magic in the cosmere. All magics have underlying rules, and are derived from a single unified theory of magic.{{wob ref|9007}}

Brandon washas been somewhat evasive about the order of cosmere stories, so that the timelines remains flexible for future books that he writes.{{wob ref|10273}} He has estimated the time from the Shattering to the breaking of the [[Oathpact]] at around 6000 years, but that number is non-canonical and may change greatly.{{wob ref|1355}} Brandon has, however, provided some answers and has stated that books have mostly been released chronologically, which allows a rough timeline to be constructed:{{wob ref|10502}}
