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}}
 
Elements of the cosmere are slowly being added to the books, and will eventually come to the forefront in the ''[[Dragonsteel]]'' series and the [[Mistborn Era 4|final ''Mistborn'' trilogy]].{{wob ref|6868}}
 
Current series in the cosmere are the [[Elantris trilogy|''Elantris'' trilogy]], [[Mistborn (series)|''Mistborn'' series]], ''[[Warbreaker]]'' (and [[Nightblood (book)|its eventual sequel]]), ''[[The Stormlight Archive]]'', and ''[[White Sand]]''. It does not include any books that reference [[Earth]], as Earth is not in the cosmere.{{ref|name=WhatIsCosmere}} For a complete list of books in the cosmere, see [[#Bibliography of the Cosmere|the bibliography section below]].
 
The shared "creation myth" of the cosmere revolves around [[Adonalsium]], the power of creation, which was broken into sixteen pieces called [[Shard]]s in an event known as the [[Shattering of Adonalsium]]. The Shards are effectively gods, and magic is derived from their power.{{msh ref|3|2}}
 
==== The Physical Realm ====
In the [[Physical Realm]], the cosmere is a star cluster of about 50 to 100 stars.{{wob ref|9284}} The laws of physics are the same as our own, except when the other Realms are involved.{{wob ref|6360}} Currently, there are ten known solarplanetary systems in the cosmere, which contain a total of twelve notable planets. The cosmere is also home to other celestial objects, including several dwarf planets, gas giants, and constellations.{{article ref|Physical Realm}} At least one person has tried to leave the physical bounds of the cosmere, with unknown results.{{wob ref|13336}}
 
==== The Cognitive Realm ====
}}
{{for|Physical Realm}}
While the cosmere has a wide array of planets, twelve are currently known that are relevant to the broader cosmere. Three of these planets—Ashyn, Braize, and Roshar—are in the same solarplanetary system.{{au ref|Roshar}}

=== Other Notable Worlds ===
The [[Drominad system]] is home to several planets, all of which have water as a dominant feature. Three of them are inhabited by humans, the most of any solarplanetary system in the cosmere. The innermost planet, '''[[First of the Sun]]''' has a [[perpendicularity]], though travel through it is incredibly dangerous.{{au ref|Drominad}}
 
'''[[Threnody]]''' is a planet with two principle parts: the [[Fallen World]], which is under the control of an unknown entity called the [[Evil]] that is so dangerous that everyone left, and the [[Forests of Hell]], which is home to dangerous [[Cognitive Shadow]]s known as [[Shade]]s. Perpendicularities on Threnody are unstable and have a morbid origin.{{au ref|Threnody}}

The cosmere sequence has a clear story that Brandon wants to tell and is fairly firmly outlined as 35 novels, plus a variety of novellas and other works, with the ''[[Dragonsteel]]'' series, [[Mistborn (series)|''Mistborn'' series]], and ''[[theThe Stormlight Archive]]'' forming the core of that story.{{wob ref|7744}}{{wob ref|13550}} ''Dragonsteel'' will tell [[Hoid]]'s backstory and the story of the [[Shattering of Adonalsium]];{{wob ref|13550}} ''Mistborn'' will have four series, following [[Scadrial]] from the [[Final Empire]] to the development of faster-than-light travel and the interaction between the various planets;{{wob ref|9005}}{{wob ref|5343}} ''The Stormlight Archive'' will be split into two arcs of five books each and is the story of the clash between the people of [[Roshar]] and [[Odium]].{{wob ref|3380}} Generally, knowledge of the cosmere as a whole will not be necessary until ''Dragonsteel'' and the final ''Mistborn'' trilogy, which are the beginning and the conclusion respectively of the cosmere sequence{{wob ref|6868}}
 
Brandon does not feel that the cosmere is restrictive to his writing.{{wob ref|6496}} Though cosmere novels are intensive, as they require more thorough planning and continuity maintenance, Brandon also has an internal wiki and people like [[Peter Ahlstrom|Peter]] and Karen Ahlstrom who help him keep the cosmere on track.{{wob ref|9015}}{{wob ref|9610}} When Brandon feels like he needs a break from the more stringent requirements of the cosmere, he'll turn to work on a less intensive novel or novella, which are almost always non-cosmere.{{wob ref|9015}} If there is a concept he really wants to write but doesn't fit in the limitations of the cosmere, he moves it into a non-cosmere book. For example, ''[[The Rithmatist]]'' started as a cosmere novel, and its magics take many elements from cosmere magics, but Brandon decided that he did not want a version of Earth in the cosmere, and so moved it to its own universe.{{wob ref|10860}}

=== Chronological Order ===
Brandon has 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}}
* ''[[Dragonsteel]]'' series{{wob ref|10502}}
* ''[[White Sand]]''{{wob ref|10502}}
