How certain are we that the Reckoner trilogy is not in the Cosmere?


Invocation

Recommended Posts

I'm new here, and I don't know if the separation of cosmere vs non-cosmere is due to oblique statements, or if we haven't gotten anything on it yet. Seeing the Reckoners out of the Cosmere grouping combined with my sleep deprivation to birth an idea:

What if the Reckoner's trilogy is in the Cosmere, it's just that Calamity is not the true representation of that world's Shard?

If you've read Calamity, you know that 

Spoiler

Calamity was supposed to leave the world after divesting powers, and while he did not, a dimensional shift reveals that Invocation did.

What if Invocation is a Shard? He did what he was supposed to do: give everyone powers, perhaps voluntarily Splintering himself to do so, and then faded away physically, because there wasn't enough left. 

Spoiler

"We live there, as one, until our duty arrives." -Calamity, Calamity

It could be that that is a representation of Adonalsium.

Of course, I'm probably just too sleep deprived to think of the reasons this isn't true.

Reckoners is definitely not in the Cosmere.  Brandon doesn't want Earth in the Cosmere at all.

What was your decision not to make The Reckoners series part of the cosmere? Because, without giving away too many things, I can see a Shard affecting that world.

Brandon Sanderson

Yeah, I made the decision based on two things. Number one, the fact that I don't want Earth to be in the cosmere. And so all the books that are referencing Earth, I don't put in the cosmere. Number two, the mythological source I was using as the--I can't give away spoilers--foundation for all of this, is a very "our-world" mythology, not a very "cosmere" mythology.

Brandon has explicitly stated that if it contains earth, be it in a mention, an alternate reality, or our earth, it is not in the Cosmere. Period.

You snooze you lose, slow poke. 

Don't worry about deleting the thread, it's not a big deal :)

I did not know that. Will delete thread if possible. Thank you.

Unless you spend your free time hanging on Brandon's every word like a fanatic... It's not far fetched. Nothing to worry about. Your not the first to ask this question, and I absolutely guarantee you won't be the last.
