Welcome to the Coppermind, the comprehensive wiki about Brandon Sanderson, his novels, and the cosmere, by the official Brandon Sanderson fansite, 17th Shard. Want to know more about the Stormlight Archive, Mistborn, Elantris, Warbreaker, the Alcatraz series, and Brandon's numerous short stories? You've come to the right place! We have 3,347 articles and we're expanding frequently!

Discovering us for the first time? Did you know that all of Brandon's adult fiction entries are all set in the same universe? It's true! They are all in a universe called the cosmere, sharing the same mythology, rules to magic, and more. Some reading you might want to check out as an introduction:

Oathbringer Is Out + Spoilers

Oathbringer, the third Stormlight Archive book, is out. There's so much to do with it and stuff to update. It's hard to know where to start!

First up, remember if you make an edit adding Oathbringer information, add spoiler tags! Use this tag at the top of your article you are editing.

{{spoilers|book=sa3}}

What can you start with in updating stuff? Main characters like Kaladin and Shallan will need a lot of help; maybe work on their history sections! There's lots to do on the Oathbringer Summary page.

Here is a list of articles that need to be updated with Oathbringer stuff!

Lastly, come on our Coppermind Discord if you want guidance on what to edit, or if you have questions on how to edit, come in there! (If you'd like to nerd out about Oathbringer and general chatter, come into the 17th Shard Discord.)

Featured Article: Feruchemy

Feruchemy is one of the three prime manifestations of Investiture on Scadrial. The natives of that world consider it one of the three Metallic Arts.

Lore & Background

Feruchemy came into existence contemporaneously with the other Metallic Arts, Allomancy and Hemalurgy, as a result of the interactions between the Shards, Preservation and Ruin, and the planet Scadrial itself. Unlike Allomancy and Hemalurgy however, which are each closely attuned with one of the Shards, Feruchemy is equally attuned to both and represents the balance between them. Feruchemy was also the only art in widespread use prior to the Ascension of the Lord Ruler. The ability to use Feruchemy emerged among the Terris people but due to their insular nature and reluctance to interbreed never spread to the general population of Classical Scadrial. During this time there was a holy order of Feruchemist scholars known as the Worldbringers, who served as teachers bearers of knowledge throughout the world.} Not every Feruchemist was a member however, with many having much more mundane vocations, such as being herders or mountain guides.

During the Ascension of the Lord Ruler every living Feruchemist (although not those with recessive Feruchemical genes), with a few notable exceptions, were transformed into mistwraiths by Rashek, a Terris herdsman and Feruchemist.} Rashek, having discovered Allomancy and transformed himself into a Mistborn and claiming to be the Hero of Ages, declared himself a god and launched a campaign to consolidate the world under his control. As part of this Rashek instituted policies to heavily restrict the Terris people which eventually grew into a breeding program designed to exterminate all genetic traces of Feruchemy. He did this specifically because he feared the prospect of the genes for Feruchemy intermixing with those of Allomancy and potentially creating a rival of comparable power to himself. Despite this the Terris resistance worked tirelessly to thwart the efforts of Rashek, then known as the Lord Ruler, in a variety of ways. The two main avenues of this were tricking the breeders into including people with hidden Feruchemical talents, in order to ensure their continuation in the population, and the formation of the Keepers an order of Feruchemists dedicated to finding and securing knowledge from before the Lord Ruler's rise to power.

Coppermind News

For news related to the Coppermind see the official blog. Very old news can be found here.

Would you like to help the Coppermind to get better? There's plenty of room for improvement, but where to start?

Many pages on book pages themselves could use serious expansion. The Mistborn trilogy's book articles are serious stubs, as well as Warbreaker and Elantris. When editing book pages, a couple sections you may want to consider:

Avoid pure lists, give each of these sections some meat! :)

On these articles, it'd also be appropriate to include some information about Brandon's process of writing the books (similar to many Wikipedia articles on movies having a "Production" section), if you know some fun factoids.

Main Characters

Of character articles, there are some pretty serious holes. Think about expanding main characters, as those should probably be the most extensive of all character articles. The Stormlight Archive main characters are okay, but think about editing Vivenna or Sarene. In addition, Mistborn characters like Kelsier, Vin, Elend, and Sazed could use some section breaks for clarity.

References

If you are editing for the first time, don't worry too much about adding citations for every fact--content always comes first. That said, if you're one of those people who stares at Arcanum a lot, you might want to help adding citations to the many articles in need of citations.

General Tasks

Check out articles requiring urgent attention, articles that should be a top priority in expanding or fixing.

There are a great deal of wanted pages--that is, those wiki links that are in red instead of blue, which represent articles that don't exist. Check out the page of all wanted articles.

And, if you want to enter the realm of torment, you could always expand one of many, many stubs.

I need some help!

Not to fear! We have some guides to help you through the editing process. Our New Editor's Guide has information on editing for people of any experience level. We also have more in-depth pages explaining style, article structure, discussion, and speculation.

Happy editing! Feel free to talk on our Coppermind forums or our Discord if you have additional questions.

Hey, all. If you've been following along, you know that my next big project is a book series called Skyward. This is my next YA project with Random House (though, like Steelheart, it walks the line between YA and adult-and is being published in my adult line with my other books in the UK.) I Read the full article...

Adam here. In this week's new Writing Excuses episode, Character Nuance, Brandon, Mary, Amal, and Maurice talk about characters who have conflict built right into them; characters whose attributes and attitudes might seem to contradict one another; characters who like, y'know... actual people. Last week, in Tor.com's continuing reread of Oathbringer, we jump back in Read the full article...

Adam here. I saw a ton of questions about Subterranean Press doing a limited edition hardcover printing of the final Stephen Leeds book, Legion: Lies of the Beholder, that would match the first two Legion books. In case you missed the announcement that went out earlier this week, Subterranean Press has started taking pre-orders on Read the full article...

Dragonsteel art director Isaac here. If you follow me on Twitter, you've probably seen me post about the maps for the latest Osten Ard books by Tad Williams: The Heart of What Was Lost and The Witchwood Crown.
