Ripheus23 Posted October 10, 2018 Report Share Posted October 10, 2018 (edited) I don't recall if it's said whether he literally did, or if he's more just strongly suspected to have done so, or what.

RShara Posted October 10, 2018 Report Share Posted October 10, 2018 Yep, he did. Quote Chaos How were the Terris Prophecies created in the first place? Every other magic related thing is quite logically explained in terms of Ruin and Preservation, except that one. Brandon Sanderson The Terris prophecies were created by Preservation before he attempted his imprisonment. He knew that he wouldn't be able to do much for the world after he did what he did, and he foresaw a LOT of what was to come. source 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ripheus23 Posted October 10, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2018 Hmm, this testifies against a theory of mine, unless I make a quasi-ad hoc adjustment to it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Borio Singaldi Posted October 11, 2018 Report Share Posted October 11, 2018 But what I continually wonder, and have ASKED MULTIPLE TIMES WITHOUT EVER GETTING ANY KIND OF ANSWER, is how exactly did Preservation create them? This has never been answered as far as I know, and I've never seen anyone ask it either. What was the exact process through which Preservation formed the Prophecies in the first place? It's not like he could have whispered it into people's minds, but that Ruin's thing. Preservation only hears. Did he use his special knife to carve the words into a surface in the Physical Realm, even though that seems like it would be against his Intent? How did he do it?

RShara Posted October 11, 2018 Report Share Posted October 11, 2018 Well we don't have a definitive answer for it, but he could have easily just formed a physical body and wrote them, or appeared to someone and had them write them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there are clear hints that Hoid was involved. The pre-FE Terris religious leaders and repositories of knowledge (like Kwaan) were "Worldbringers", all of who were Feruchemists, though not all Feruchemists were Worldbringers (as Rashek and his mates were simply packmen). Kwaan, and presumably his Worldbringer peers, were Realmatically aware; there is some link between Worldbringers and the Worldsingers of Roshar: and Hoid "has a relationship" with the Worldsingers (even taking on Sigzil as an "apprentice Worldsinger"). And when we see Hoid meet Kelsier at the Well of Ascension in the Cognitive Realm Mistborn: Secret History, he is surprised (not expecting Kelsier to have avoided going Beyond by getting "ghosted" and put into the Well by Preservation), and comments that "...you are not supposed to be here. You did what I needed you to, but you're a wild card I'd rather not deal with right now." Meaning, Hoid was part of the machinations to engineer Rashek's downfall that would lead to the freeing of Ruin and Ati's eventual "canceling out" by Vin. As told in the Terris Prophecies. Edited October 11, 2018 by robardin oops, the ancient Terris group were the "bringers" not "singers"! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably in exchange for access to Preservation's magic, honestly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aha! Now my ad hoc theory becomes less so. My theory is that Preservation brought copies of books from Yolen, books that Scadrial's future history was partly based on. Or he created copies of the books along with the world. Or something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
