Interview #826: Mistborn: The Final Empire Annotations, Entry #162

Brandon Sanderson

I put the Lord Ruler in black and white—rather than just black, as I’d originally planned—to give metaphoric reference to his belief that he is God. He’s both black and white—he encompasses all, and controls all. Of course, he’s faking. In the mythology of this world, there are two forces—Ruin and Preservation—and he really only touched one of the two powers. But, then, we’ll have more on that in later books.
