So, I've been thinking about what I read in the prologue, and here are some things I'm wondering...
Ruin can control the Inquisitors, I assume, through the spikes in their body. Shortly before Zane's end, it mentions, very briefly, a spike in his chest. Could it be that the spike in Zane's chest is similar to an Inquisitors, or perhaps what the Inquisitors were doing with the Keeper in the prologue was something that had been done to Zane?
God told Zane to kill people. Or, he called it God. What if it was Ruin? Ruin told him to kill people. Not Vin, though. Ruin needed Vin to release the powers at the Well of Ascension.
God told Zane he was never insane to begin with. Of course he wasn't, Ruin was controlling him.
That's my theory.

All parts of your theory have been discussed in these threads.

Ruin and Preservation:

goes into discussions and theory as to what power ruin has and how he controls people.

The Comprehensive Hemalurgy Thread:

talks about Hemalurgy (Which deals with the spike in Zane's chest.)  Also goes into the connections of Hemalurgy and Ruin.

All of the information for your theory is discussed back and forth in these threads and is argued for and against.  Please feel free to read them and see what others have to say.

Well, shucks... guess I'm not as original as I'd hoped...

It's not that, it's that we've been theorizing for a really, really long time. Over 30 pages on the Hemalurgy thread and 18 on Ruin and Preservation, we tend to talk about every single detail imaginable.

Pretty much. I can't even begin to count the number of times I've come up with a brilliant new idea that's been around for a while.

I've usually found that my theories are so far out there that no one ever thought of them before because it's so... it's like I'm way out there.

I cite my "The Kandra Gave Kelsier the 11th Metal Theory In Order To Destroy Humanity" theory as the prime example for my insanity. It's on the first or so pages of Ruin and Preservation--go read it if you like a good laugh :P.

But see Chaos, most of your theories make way more sense than anything else we've got, and I for one almost always find myself agreeing with them. So perhaps being "out there" isn't as bad as you would assume.

And sometimes it's the stuff that's way gone that we need in order to look at the problem a different way and actually see the answers. ;)

Now we jsut have to discover which is the right one, or perhaps, the least wrong.

And THAT would be the hard part.

it would be interesting to delve back into the earlier days of this forum to when MB1 had come out and they started theorizing about MB2...and see how many of their theories were right.

It seems that we've become very stagnate and probably will be until later this week when Brandon posts the sample chapters from HoA.  CAN'T WAIT!
