At some point, the [[Dawnshard]]s were used to create the cosmere.{{book ref|sa3.5|19}}
 
The first humans lived on [[Yolen]] and were created by Adonalsium.{{wob ref|5702}}{{msh ref|3|2}} At some point, a poorly-understood and parasitic ecosystem hostile to humans, known as [[fainlife]], began to develop on Yolen. It began to spread and overtake the landscape, though the other inhabitants eventually learned how to keep it in check.{{wob ref|7825}} Plants and land overtaken by fainlife retain their shape, but turn bone-white and spill red liquid when crushed or snapped.{{wob ref|9518}} Yolen was also home to [[Sho Del]], the fainlife equivalent of humans, and [[dragon (cosmere)|dragons]].{{wob ref|9676}} Information about fainlife remains accessible enough in the modern cosmere that [[Khriss]] was able to mention it to cosmere-aware people without need for explanation.{{au ref|Scadrial}} Prior to the Shattering, Yolen's technology was likely pre-industrial.{{wob ref|9882}}
 
Most of the other planets in the cosmere existed and were named prior to the Shattering,{{wob ref|7262}} though [[#Worldhoppers|worldhopping]] was much less common at the time.{{wob ref|13219}} During this time, Adonalsium created the entire [[Rosharan system]] and grew the supercontinent on the planet [[Roshar]]; as a result,an the continent is shaped like the two-dimensional projection of a [[wikipedia:Julialifeforms set|Juliaon set]]it.{{wob ref|9283}}{{wob ref|3953}}
 
[[Investiture]] still existed prior to the Shattering, though its form was different.{{wob ref|1118}} During this time, there was a plot to destroy Adonalsium, but it failed.{{wob ref|2648}} [[Hoid]], the dragon [[Frost]], and the original Vessels all lived before the Shattering.{{wob ref|11070}}
