Not likely, as it's hundreds of years later. Unless Brandon brings Sazed into it.

They never explained how that certain act was preformed, but the best guess would be that the earring was in her sister when she died, turning it into the spike.

What is the reading order of the Mistborn trilogy?

User Avatar

Asked by Myrab51

Technically it has grown to be more than a trilogy. The original trilogy is:

  1. The Final Empire
  2. The Well of Ascension
  3. The Hero of Ages

But there is another 4 book series so far written 300 years after the original trilogy based on Wax and Wayne during a roughly industrial revolution era technologically.

  1. The Alloy of Law
  2. Shadows of Self
  3. The Bands of Mourning
  4. The Lost Metal (2018 or 2019).

There are also several short stories best read after finishing the original trilogy and probably books 1-3 of the Wax and Wayne series:

  1. The Eleventh Metal
  2. Allomancer Jak and the Pits of Eltania
  3. Mistborn: Secret History

After the Wax and Wayne series, Brandon Sanderson plans to write at least 2 more trilogies in the mistborn series. One that will take place in a modern era with modern technology, and one that will be more science fiction using allomancy and future technology and space travel. These books also tie into Brandon Sanderson's greater Cosmere. Which almost all his book take place in and loosely connects all his work.

Why did Elend always wear white later in the Mistborn series?

Asked by Wiki User

White was a very unusual color in the empire due to all of the ashfall. It was about impossible to keep it clean, so it was very striking. It made him stand out.

How did Elend change through the Mistborn trilogy?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Elend started off as the mischievous, sarcastic type, someone who didn't want to blend in and he especially didn't want to be like his father. He had a kind heart and he wanted to do good. But after the crew overthrew the Lord Ruler and Elend became king, he began to realise that his kind nature wasn't what his people needed or wanted right then. So he had to become harder and more forceful. He struggled for a long time to find the balance between the king side of himself and the old side and eventually, in the end, I think he found it.

The mists weren't actually killing anyone. They way I took it, it was Ruin killing a percentage of the people who became ill to "balance" preservation turning them into mistings.

Why did the prophecy fit Sazed in 'The Hero of Ages'?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The prophecy fit Sazed because he was an outcast from his culture. A gender neutral phrase was used as a description was used that was thought to allow a man or women to be the hero of ages but in fact it was used to describe a person without gender. And since Sazed was castrated he "had no gender" as Sazed put it in one of the books.
