World Scadrial

The Elendel Basin was a lush, fertile basin created by Harmony during the reshaping of Scadrial to allow civilization to build itself back up over just a couple of generations.[1]

Most of the population of Scadrial was centred in this area, either in the capital Elendel, or in the surrounding cities and countryside.

The basin was surrounded by mountain ranges although there are passes leading out into lands the rugged frontier lands known as the Roughs.

The Basin is governed by a council of representatives of Noble houses and trade guilds known as the Senate. The heads of Noble households represent their houses, while guild representatives are democratically elected from within the guild. The Senate is similar to, and presumably based on the council formed by Elend Venture to govern Luthadel immediately after the Skaa rebellion.

Isaac Stewart confirmed that the basin's coastline matches up with the coastline in the Final Empire.[citation needed] One can see that the peninsula that contains Bilming is the same peninsula on the Final Empire map, just west of the Ashmount Doriel.
