+Invocation Posted January 26, 2018 Posted January 26, 2018 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. 2
RShara she/her Posted January 26, 2018 Posted January 26, 2018 Reckoners is definitely not in the Cosmere. Brandon doesn't want Earth in the Cosmere at all. Also Quote Questioner 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. source
Calderis he/him Posted January 26, 2018 Posted January 26, 2018 (edited) 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. Edit: Ninja'd by the ninja queen. Edited January 26, 2018 by Calderis

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.
Greywatch she/her Posted January 26, 2018 Posted January 26, 2018 It's okay to not know about the Word of Brandon archive, or have lightning quick WoB searching-fu like these two. Promise you have nothing to be worried about, it's all good!
