Ruin is of destruction, without malice, but intent on reducing everything to the molecular level. Preservation could not keep things perfect and unchanging and Ruin could not destroy completely. Preservation and Ruin agree to a pact, with an initial stalemate between them, each aware that only together could they create and achieve their separate goals while knowing they would never gain complete final satisfaction. They are described as Shards of Adonalsium, and are fragments of the power of creation. Preservation and Ruin are the two opposing gods of the Mistborn world, Scadrial. The events of Era One primarily take place in Classical Scadrial, specifically within the Final Empire, while Era Two and beyond take place in Post-Catacendre Scadrial. The series primarily takes place in a region on the planet of Scadrial. After some confusion, Sanderson decided to refer to the overall series in terms of four eras, with Era One being the first trilogy, Era Two being the four books starting with The Alloy of Law, and Eras Three and Four being the other planned trilogies. However, this structure changed with the release of The Alloy of Law, which began a new series set between the first trilogy and the planned second trilogy. The original trilogy published by Sanderson was the first in what he used to call a "trilogy of trilogies." Sanderson planned to publish multiple trilogies all set on the fictional planet Scadrial but in different eras: the second trilogy was to be set in an urban setting, featuring modern technology, and the third trilogy was to be a science fiction series, set in the far future. After writing two early iterations of Mistborn, he shifted his focus to his Stormlight Archive series, but chose to delay its publication in favor of completing the Mistborn series, which he thought would serve as a better follow-up to Elantris. Sanderson began work on Mistborn: The Final Empire while trying to get his earlier novel Elantris published. He originally developed feruchemy and allomancy for separate stories before deciding to bring them together in one story. The idea for the titular mist came while he was driving through mist in Idaho, which he combined with his memories of having once seen Washington National Cathedral lit from the inside. His second idea, originally unrelated, was to tell a heist story in a fantasy setting, an idea inspired by the Ocean's film series. Sanderson's first idea for Mistborn came while reading the Harry Potter series: He thought it would be interesting to set a story in a world where the " dark lord" triumphed and the "prophesied hero" failed. The fourth series is planned to be a space-opera. The main character is planned as a Terris woman who is a computer programmer and Nicroburst her brother is also planned to be a character. The third series will be set in the early computer age with 1980s technology. Set about 300 years after the ending of the first trilogy, the second series is about the exploits of Waxillium Ladrian, a "wild-west Deputy" forced to move into the big city, and starts investigating kidnappings and robberies. This success pushed Sanderson to further develop his fictional universe, the Cosmere, which also includes The Stormlight Archive. The first Mistborn trilogy chronicles the efforts of a secret group of Allomancers who attempt to overthrow a dystopian empire and establish themselves in a world covered by ash. Sanderson plans to write a third and fourth series. Sanderson also released a novella in 2016, Mistborn: Secret History. A second series was released between 20, and consists of The Alloy of Law, Shadows of Self, The Bands of Mourning and The Lost Metal. The first trilogy, published between 20, consists of The Final Empire, The Well of Ascension, and The Hero of Ages. Mistborn is a series of epic fantasy novels written by American author Brandon Sanderson and published by Tor Books. Print ( hardcover, paperback and leatherbound), audiobook, e-book
