I had an idea yesterday that, despite the evidence to the contrary, the Mists are not the Deepness. Or, at least, not in the way the mists are now.
If they were the Deepness, the would be referenced more. I'm pretty sure that people would make the connection Deepness = mist eventually like they do in current times.
However, Kwaan says the Deepness came on suddenly. Why did it do that? Obviously, that is Ruin's doing, but why not drum up the Deepness all the time? There's no Lord Ruler to stop him.
Or why, for that matter, did the Lord Ruler keep the mists out? If the Deepness wasn't out all the time, that means it isn't a perpetual thing.
Just something to think about.
