Title: Hope and Ruin *Mistborn and WoK Spoilers*
Post by: Stormblessed on September 30, 2010, 08:19:48 AM

Ati, the assumed name for Ruin is also an Aon meaning hope. We know that Ati was a good man before he was corrupted by the shard. Is there a connection or is this only coincidence?

I don't think we know. I assumed it was a coincidence, but I could see either:

1. Aona hoping that Ati retains his humanity, and naming the Aon after this hope.

2. Ati taking the Ruin Shard in the hope that he could control it and make entropy less terrible.

Unfortunately he failed on both fronts. Hopefully Sazed does better.  :P

Well, Sazed has the power of Preservation as well, so I don't think he'll end up as ruinous as Ati did, but I don't think our favorite Terris Worldbringer will be the same if we ever see him again.
