I myself have always thought that the ashmounts were an accident caused by the Lord Ruler when he was using the power from the well. I suppose they could have been anything, though....

I think that they are bad side effects of the Lord Ruler's creation period.  He focused so much on the Kandra and the Koloss I think he let the ashmounts (that were possibly there before but as normal dormant volcanos) get out of hand without realizing it.

Brandon Sanderson / Kandra of Preservation?
« on: April 28, 2008, 04:20:56 AM »
Kandra are the most interesting people to me in MB.  When Vin and the Kandra are talking about the Kandras religion the kandra says something about the kandra taking over the world and humans being of Ruin and kandra of Preservation.  So if we are assuming that Preservation is good, does that make the Kandra good as well?  Or is this just another twisted profecy escewed by Ruin? 

Also if Kandra are of Preservation wouldn't that conflict with the fact that The Lord Ruler "created" the Kandra using the power at the WoA (presumably Ruin)?

Brandon Sanderson / Re: The 16th metal's power--Potential spoilers.

What if what Elend injests is actually "mist" condensed and given solid form by the Lord Ruler that actually enables you to burn metals and is not atually the 15th metal?  This would mean there doesn't need to be a counterpart that would take away Alomancy.  Also, then you wouldn't have to burn it to use it, just ingest it, meaning that everyone is Not a allomancer.

Alternate theory: It is possible that the original nobles were people who for some unknown reason were special in their ability to burn the 15th or 16th metal.  That would explain the seperation of nobles and skaa who are basically identical.
