Friendshipspren Posted November 23, 2020 Report Share Posted November 23, 2020 (edited) Again if you haven't read Mistborn Secret History then please go back. Now ,taravangian was dead at the time he ascended, albeit by less than a minute perhaps. Now in SH Ruin mocks kelsier by telling him that a cognitive shadow can't be as good a Vessel as a being which exists on all three realms. So how good is taravangian as a Vessel then? Kelsier was very less connected to Preservation whereas taravangian was almost made for Odium. Kelsier was dead for some 2-3 yrs I guess whereas taravangian was dead for barely a minute, if that. Will this be of consequence ? Edited November 23, 2020 by Dreamspren A little polishing 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chiberty Posted November 23, 2020 Report Share Posted November 23, 2020 (edited) I suspect that what Zahel talked about is coming into play here. When he Ascended, Kelsier had undergone the "fossilization" process Zahel described, while Taravangian had not during his own Ascension. So, Taravangian was not truly a cognitive shadow, and he was still at the point where he still had ties to the Physical Realm, and could have hypothetically been revived by regrowth. Era 2: Spoiler Just like how Wax dies, but could be revived with f-gold. Kelsier could not have been revived in that way when he Ascended.

StanLemon Posted November 23, 2020 Report Share Posted November 23, 2020 He mentions that the body left behind was Rayse. This implies that Taravangian's body ascended with him. However he did mention that he was dead beforehand so maybe that will be a weakness that can be exploited 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
