After the battle
Using the knowledge stored in his copperminds and the combined power of Preservation and Ruin, taken from the fallen bodies of Vin and Ruin, Sazed reshapes the world into a new paradise of blue skies, green foliage and rainbow flowers. By the second-era books, the former territory of the Final Empire has been replaced by a grassland of Harmony's creation, the Elendel Basin.
