Okay, so I wanted to keep the title spoiler free, but the question is this (and I apologize if this is an old question but I couldn’t find it from basic searching): What if Vin had taken the power at the Well of Ascension instead of freeing Ruin? Let’s start with a very brief fanfic (I don’t think Brandon will mind, but if he would I can take it down): “You mustn’t do it, child … you know what you must do …” Vin was supposed to be the Hero of Ages. She needed to be. But unfortunately, she was not that person. She could not, would not, let Elend die. And so she burned the power within her. It was as instinctual to her as burning Atium had been, or any of the metals. Fixing what was wrong with the world would be easy too. Rashek was a fool! She thought… Okay, I’ll cease butchering this story and get back to the facts. Besides the fact that Brandon already had that played out with Rashek and so repeating history wouldn’t make for as good a story, let’s remember some important facts: 1. Preservation was dying, independent of Ruin’s escape. Would he have lasted longer in this scenario? Possibly, but I don’t think for another 1024 years before the Well refilled. 2. Kelsier is still around. Now, without Ruin loose he wouldn’t have as easily spooked the Ire and Fuzz would have had different plans, etc. etc. 3. Sazed had figured out about Ruin’s ruse, and managed to escape Marsh. He simply wasn’t fast enough to stop Vin. In this scenario, Vin would soon have that knowledge. 4. Vin and Elend would still have a need to reunite the hemispher under their rule. There would basically be another Empire. Woth one key difference though. They aren’t fullborn, and while Rashek was able to create Allomancy, I don’t think he would have been able to make Feruchemists with only Presevervation’s power. Perhaps Vin could have made some other magic? Thoughts? What have I missed? What would have happened had Vin been “selfish” with the power at the Well of Ascension?

Welcome to Shattered Oaths, an RP based on the ending of The Tragedy of Thaylen Field, an alternate ending to Oathbringer, by @Overlord Jebus where Dalinar joins Odium. It is highly recommended you read it before participating in the RP. The link can be found at the bottom of this post. In this RP, you have two options. You can take the mantle of a character, such as Szeth or Rock. Make sure they are a character that survived Thaylen Field beforehand. Try and keep their basic personality, but the events will still shape them, so after a while, it's fine, even expected, that they have a very different personality then in the books. Your other option is to create a new character, and RP that. They can be from any Rosharan nation, but Worldhoppers will need special permission. There is no OP limits, beyond no shards, but special permission will be needed to get a magic system from another world. This storyline may be, later, spread to other worlds, in a "Dark Cosmere". Shards may be used for RP in a storyline, but only by those in charge of the thread, the 'DMs'. Shards will each be assigned a color, and will be RPed in bold. RP in regular text, OOC either in quotes or in underlined text. You can have up to two characters from the story, and a maximum of four RP characters in all.
