This is the history of the Cosmere as it is known up to this point.
The Shattering
The Shattering of Adonalsium was the moment when it broke into sixteen shards. All of the currently known magic systems are a result of the shattering.
Arrival of the Shards to various worlds
The Shards found their way to the planets where they eventually settled at this point. It is unknown precisely which order they did this.
Aona and Skai, holding Devotion and Dominion, went to Sel.
Tanavast and Cultivation's holder, holding Honor and Cultivation, went to Roshar. They were later followed by Rayse, holding Odium, who landed on the nearest planet, Braize.
Ati and Leras, holding Ruin and Preservation, landed on Scadrial.
Creation of the Scadrian people
Ruin and Preservation made a temporary truce. As neither one on their own had the strength to make life, they agreed to work together, on the condition that Ruin could someday destroy it.
Imprisonment of Ruin
Preservation broke his promise to allow Ruin to destroy the Scadrian people, instead imprisoning him at the Well of Ascension. This may have happened before or after the Last Desolation.
The Last Desolation
The Breaking of the Oathpact. Nine of the Heralds broke their Oathpact, leaving only Taln, in the hope that the Oathpact would keep going. Due to uncertainty in the timelines, it is possible that this occured after the Splintering of Dominion and Devotion. [1]
Splintering of Dominion and Devotion
Odium visited Sel, roughly a few hundred years before the events of Elantris, and splintered Devotion and Dominion. The event caused the arrival of Seons and Skaze.[2]
Ascension of the Lord Ruler
Rashek took the power at the Well of Ascension and used it to remake Scadrial into the place it looked like during the Final Empire, in an attempt to destroy the mists. He left the Southern Continent of Scadrial untouched.
The Reod
The Reod was cause by "unnatural" means, and Brandon has implied that Odium was involved somehow, potentially via a second visit to Sel.[2]
Elantris and The Hope of Elantris
The events of Elantris and the Hope of Elantris happened at this point.
The Emperor's Soul
The events of the Emperor's Soul took places at this point. It is a short space of time after Elantris, not long enough for technology to advance.
The Recreance
The dissolution of the Knights Radiant.
Mistborn: The Final Empire
The events of the Mistborn take place here, several hundred years after Elantris.
The Well of Ascension
The events of the Well of Ascension take place here, roughly a year after the events of Mistborn: the Final Empire.
Freeing of Ruin
Vin is duped by Ruin's alterations of the prophecy, and releases the power at the Well of Ascension, rather than using it. By doing so, she releases Ruin. This takes place during the Well of Ascension.
The Hero of Ages
This takes place about a year after the Well of Ascension.
Death of Leras
Takes place during the Hero of Ages. Leras expends the last of his energy talking to Elend, and dies a few minutes later.[3]
Ascension of Vin
Vin becomes the holder of Preservation during her battle with the Steel Inquisitors. This takes place during the Hero of Ages.[4]
Death of Ati and Vin
Vin sacrifices herself in order to kill Ati.[5]
The Final Ascension
Sazed picks up the Shards of Ruin and Preservation. They merge to become Harmony.[6]
Remaking of Scadrial
Sazed remakes the world to his estimation of what it would have been like during the Classical Scadrial Era. This takes place during the Hero of Ages.

Reforming of the Knights Radiant
