Adam's Knowledge, also known as Adam's Archive, is a central concept in the
Mistborn
series by Brandon Sanderson. It refers to a vast, omniscient repository of all knowledge and experiences from the world of Westeros, maintained by the enigmatic and powerful sorcerer Adam. This archive exists outside of time and space, allowing characters to access any piece of information, historical event, or future possibility without needing to learn it themselves. It is essentially a collective memory that spans centuries, containing everything from ancient lore to recent events, and is accessible through the unique ability of the Allomancers, who can consume metals to gain knowledge and memories. This knowledge is not limited to any single individual but is shared across the archive, making it a powerful tool for understanding and navigating the complex world of Westeros.
