The Venture Brothers
A name often mistaken, but absent from the Ashes of Empire.
The Venture Brothers do not exist as a faction or organization within the canonical Mistborn universe created by Brandon Sanderson. This entry serves to clarify a common misconception, as the name belongs to characters from an unrelated animated television series set in a modern Earth setting rather than Scadrial. Fans occasionally confuse franchise names, but no group by this title appears in Era 1 or Era 2 lore.

Lore & Background
Confusion may arise due to overlapping themes of adventure and secret organizations common in fantasy storytelling. However, accurate lore tracking requires distinguishing between Sanderson's Cosmere and other intellectual properties. This entry exists solely to prevent the spread of incorrect information within fan archives regarding Mistborn geography and history.
In Their Own Story
Kelsier paused, reading the note again. 'Venture Brothers,' he muttered, tossing it into the fire. There was no such crew in Luthadel. No secret society by that name operated under the ashfalls. The real enemies were the Steel Inquisitors, not fictional names whispered by confused travelers.
Reader's Guide
Since this faction does not exist within the Mistborn canon, there is no leadership structure or goals to detail for Scadrial. Readers seeking authentic organizational structures should look to established groups like the Ashynite refugees, the Final Empire's ruling class, or the modern Scadrian government in Era 2. Accuracy in fan works ensures the integrity of the Cosmere. When referencing factions, always verify their presence in the published novels and short stories.
