Cosmereuniversumi

Cosmereuniversumi is a fictional universe created by author Brandon Sanderson, serving as the setting for a interconnected series of fantasy and science fiction novels and short stories. This universe is characterized by its complex magic systems, diverse worlds, and ongoing themes of power, morality, and redemption.

The Cosmere encompasses multiple planets and regions, each with distinct cultures, technologies, and magical phenomena. Key planets include Roshar, known for its storm-wracked environment and advanced magical system called Surgebinding; Scadrial, the setting for the Mistborn series, where allomancy allows individuals to ingest metals to gain powers; and Sel, home to the Elantris and the secrets of the Aons. Other notable planets include Threnody, Taldain, and Nalthis.

One of the defining features of the Cosmere is the existence of a shared cosmology, including a complex pantheon of gods, shards of divine power known as Shards of Adonalsium, and various mystical entities. The universe’s magic systems are often interconnected through these shards, which influence the worlds in unique ways. The narrative structure of Sanderson’s works often reveals the underlying connections and overarching mythos of the Cosmere.

Brandon Sanderson plans to gradually reveal the full scope of the Cosmere through future novels, with a central narrative thread that ties the individual series together, including the Stormlight Archive, Mistborn, and others. The universe has garnered a dedicated global fanbase and is considered one of the most ambitious shared universes in contemporary fantasy literature.
