Brandon Sanderson / Mistborn 3 Plot Points *Spoilers*
« on: April 11, 2008, 03:33:32 PM »
After reading Mistborn 1 and 2 for the second time, I've come up with a list of possible Mistborn 3 plot points.
Inquisitor-Keepers
Near the end of Mistborn 2, a Terris refugee explains to Elend that the Synod has been destroyed. The Keepers are dead. He is not, however, sure how many of them still live. He says it's hard to say, as the Inquisitors have taken the bodies. This last statement leads me to my theory. Is it possible the Inquisitors are going to make new brethren out of Keepers? If so, these Inquisitors could be as dangerous as the Lord Ruler.
Koloss Nails
These are mentioned only briefly in the second novel. I missed this the first time I read it through. However, it is there. On page 252, Sazed glances across his desk. On it is "a pile of strange metal nails taken from Koloss bodies." The book does not elaborate; in fact, that is the only time this is mentioned. I have a feeling, however, that this is going to be explained in Mistborn 3.
Statlin City
One page 261, Elend and Vin find a mural. It is a sheet of metal. On it is carved a map of the Dominance, and just outside of Luthadel, a small city is circled. This is Statlin City. Is it possible the atium is there? If not, why is it circled? This is obviously going to play a key factor in the plot of Mistborn three.
So there you have it. I didn't bother pointing out the obvious things—Vin's power, the mists, the well. We all know these things must be resolved. However, I figured I'd get something up here to point out the things less frequently discussed. If you have any plots to add to this—or any comments on my theories—feel free to post them here.
