Interview #727: Hero of Ages Q&A - TWG, Entry #36

Qarlin (16 October 2008)

Lemme guess, the “Mistborn” following Vin was actually Ruin, since Elend never actually saw him, and he disappeared every time Vin got close?

Brandon Sanderson (17 October 2008)

Yes.

QARLIN

Why did Ruin give off Allomantic Pulses? Because Preservation did and they’re two sides of the same coin? Allomancy is of Preservation, so I figured that’s why he did…

BRANDON SANDERSON

Manifestation of the awesome power he held, mixed with Vin’s increased ability to sense these things. Allomantic pulses are like a ripple of sound in the fabric of creation itself—the power of creation being used, creating a drum beat to those attuned to it. Ruin created a similar beat when his consciousness was near.
