The Cosmere (Verse)

"Even now, I can barely grasp the scope of all this. The events surrounding the end of the world seem even larger than the Final Empire and the people within it. I sense shards of something from long ago, a fractured presence, something spanning the void.

I have delved and searched, and have only been able to come up with a single name: Adonalsium. Who, or what, it was, I do not yet know."

- Sazed

The Cosmere is a Fantasy Universe created by Brandon Sanderson, wherein various different series take place. The works share various underlying mechanics and possess a shared cosmology. 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.

For a detailed breakdown of the intricate Cosmology of the verse, please view The Cosmere Cosmology (Work in Progress)

Power of the Verse
The verse ranges wildly in power, and for the most part does not appear very powerful on the surface. With most characters resting in the lower end of Superhuman, the God-Tiers possess Planet-level destructive potential.

Most of the strength of the verse rests less in physical strength and more in hax or other such less physical abilities.
