Jedal Posted December 13, 2016 Report Share Posted December 13, 2016 I recently saw this in an old AMA of Brandon's: [–]ArgentSun 16 points 1 year ago I don't think I've seen this asked before, but... Did the Lord Ruler have children?

I'm bubbling up with joy right now. What did his kids do? Did they become kandra? Did they inherit Twinborn powers? Are they still alive through the magic of Spoiler unkeyed atiuminds???

Spoolofwhool Posted December 13, 2016 Report Share Posted December 13, 2016 (edited) Note that we don't actually know whether he had the children before or after he ascended. Considering how much effort he went to prevent feruchemy from existing, I don't see him intentionally procreating and causing that to happen. As such, I'm more of the opinion that he had children before, in which case he might've turned them into mistwraiths.

Pagerunner Posted December 13, 2016 Report Share Posted December 13, 2016 Not Kandra. Nothing exciting. More like how a council worker in England can be descended from Genghis Khan, yet "the only vestiges left of his mighty ancestry were a pronounced stoutness about the tum and a predilection for little fur hats." 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, he probably had children before he ascended, I don't really think this is going to be very relative to the story, it's just an interesting fact and that's it.

Yeah, the WoB that Pagerunner provided shows that it really isn't a relevant detail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately they were nothing special. 2 hours ago, Spoolofwhool said: Note that we don't actually know whether he had the children before or after he ascended.

Well as a reminder, they were part of his onetime plan to give up the Final Empire. That would be hard if they were pre ascension. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Randuir. As Spool said, it is from WoB. A lot of stuff here on the shard is. If you want to know more the Rashek/Lord Ruler Coppermind wiki has some links you might find useful.
