Cheapshot Posted December 23, 2024 Posted December 23, 2024 So haven’t seen this mentioned but during interlude 13: lift Vasher stated “That woman is a FULL Feruchemist”. Now these events are taking place around Era 2 of mistborn. So only twin born are around do to the intermingling of feruchemy and allomancy genes. Either a group of Terris people left the planet or that full feruchemist still exist. Not sure of the full implications. 2
Ninth of the Night Posted December 23, 2024 Posted December 23, 2024 It was already rather evident that Axindweth was a full Feruchemist even before this book, the many metal rings on her fingers was a clear indication. A Twinborn wouldn't need all those various metalminds. And Brandon has said that they still exist in Era 2, simply very rare. 2

Either a group of Terris people left the planet or that full feruchemist still exist. Not sure of the full implications. Terris were Realmatically aware before TLR, and we have no idea how old Axindweth is. We do know that there was a Terriswoman Worldhopper in Warbreaker (but unconfirmed if that was Axindweth or another Terriswoman - such as Aslydin, Demoux's Wife and another confirmed Worldhopper for the 17th Shard). It is very likely that she is older than Era 2 - either surviving the Catacendre and becoming a Worldhopper later (like Aslydin) or leaving Scadrial even before TLR was defeated (since we also know that Scadrial was hosting an inter-planet mercantile ring from Ruin's Perpendicularity during TLR's reign). WoBs: Spoiler Quote TheHunter (paraphrased) [Brandon Sanderson] said that someone in Poland had figured it out who the Terriswoman in Warbreaker was, and I asked him if it was Lemex's nurse. Brandon Sanderson (paraphrased) He nodded and smiled. He said he had no idea how anyone figured it out, which is interesting. Footnote: The question is referring to this WoB. Ad Astra 2017 (May 5, 2017) Quote Nesh So some of us happened across a line in [Mistborn: The Final Empire] that gave us pause. It's in the chapter 19 epigraph: "Not so Kwaan. In a way, he is as unlikely a prophet as I am a hero. He never had an air of ceremonious wisdom - nor was he even a religious scholar. When we first met, he was studying one of his ridiculous interests in the great Khlenni library--I believe he was trying to determine whether or not trees could think." This sounded to us like Kwaan the Terrisman might have been looking into or might have known something about Realmatics, like for instance knowing of the Realms and that things have aspects in all three. Is this the case? If so, was such knowledge common among his people or Scadrial? Brandon Sanderson Realmatic theory was part of the ancient Terris religion. 17th Shard Forum Q&A (Sept. 28, 2012) Quote lightylantern In The Hero of Ages, Demoux gets together with a woman named Aslydin. He's then seen on Roshar in The Way of Kings. Knowing how loyal Demoux is, he wouldn't just leave Aslydin behind like that. Is she connected to his reasons for becoming a member of the Seventeenth Shard? Brandon Sanderson Aslydin is in the Seventeeth Shard, and had her own work to be about. I've given subtle clues about her before, but the ethnicity of the name should strike you. /r/books AMA 2015 (March 12, 2015) Quote Coinshooter (paraphrased) Aside from Demoux and Aslydin, are there any couples traveling throughout the cosmere? And if so, do they have any children that also worldhop? Brandon Sanderson (paraphrased) Yes. Shadows of Self release party (Oct. 5, 2015) Quote Argent Is Aslydin a Feruchemist? Brandon Sanderson Uhhhhhoooooh. RAFO. We’ll just RAFO that. Calamity Chicago signing (Feb. 22, 2016) Quote Questioner One thing when I was reading The Alloy of Law, in Mistborn, all the [Feruchemists] were the Mistborn version of [Feruchemy], and then it changed to the Misting version of [Feruchemy]. Is there... Brandon Sanderson Yeah, there's a reason for that, and I'll delve into it a bunch more later, but basically, there's two things going on. Number one, the bloodlines have thinned, and that's the reason they're talking about [here]. Also, full-blooded Feruchemists mixing, like the populations mixed, is really dangerous, and Sazed knew this. So, I'll just leave it at that. Firefight Seattle UBooks signing (Jan. 6, 2015) Quote Questioner The change in how the magic (on Scadrial) interact with each other, was that done by Sazed? Brandon Sanderson Yes it was. You will find a theme. The snapping in Mistborn is actually a repeated theme through a lot of the different magics. Um, but what I felt at the end of the day Sazed would do something about it. So, even though that is part of the magic system, he changed that. The change to Feruchemy is more a matter of other factors such as the large amount of interbreeding that happened following...and things like that. And so a lot of people with Feruchemy sDNA mixing with people with people with Allomantic sDNA has affected the way the magics blend, so to speak. That's not done by Sazed. That's just kind of an effect. Steelheart Seattle signing (Oct. 14, 2013) Quote Questioner In Secret History, Hoid says something to Kelsier about him destroying the Pits and destroying an entire mercantile system. Is he talking about literal inter-Realmic trade? Brandon Sanderson Yes. Interplanetary trade, yes. Questioner Follow-up: Is House Venture involved? Brandon Sanderson House Venture is not involved. People in House Venture might be. Questioner The guy who-- Brandon Sanderson Here is a RAFO card for your follow-up. House Venture is-- Yes. Footnote: The questioner was likely referring to Felt, a spy that worked for House Venture, who is a worldhopper. Arcanum Unbounded Chicago signing (Dec. 6, 2016) Quote Khyrindor Was Felt cosmere-aware during Era 1? Brandon Sanderson Yes. Khyrindor Was he directly involved in the interplanetary trade through the Pits? Brandon Sanderson He was involved. Whether directly is the right term or not I will not say. Khyrindor And is he part of the Seventeenth Shard? Brandon Sanderson He has been a member of various different groups and had various different motivations over the years. I would not put him, right now, as a member of the Seventeenth Shard. Khyrindor As in, like, Stormlight Archive-- Brandon Sanderson As of Stormlight Archive Era: Not a member of the Seventeenth Shard. Obviously--well, I won't go any further on that. Skyward Seattle signing (Nov. 10, 2018) So, there are many possibilities that explain Axindweth being a Full Feruchemist without her being from Era 2 after Feruchemy was weakened by merging bloodlines. Hope that helps. Edited December 23, 2024 by Treamayne SPAG 4
The Stick Posted December 29, 2024 Posted December 29, 2024 I don't this this can be right. Vasher says he will take 40 years to outlive her torture. This would imply that she does not have immortality and will die in time. 1

Either a group of Terris people left the planet or that full feruchemist still exist. Not sure of the full implications. We know that there are people from Skadrel in silver light two of which work for the ghost bloods. So I would assume that that is where this full feruchemy is from. Hopefully, we see more of her.

This would imply that she does not have immortality and will die in time. I think it implies that Vasher beleives she does not have Agelessness and will die in time. That could be an assumption on his part because she wants his breath (and he thinks it is so that she can reach 5th heightening). He may not realize there are other ways to have agelessness besides BioChormatic Breath at the 5th Heightening. . .

He may not realize there are other ways to have agelessness besides BioChormatic Breath at the 5th Heightening. . . Could also be that Agelessness in a Feruchemic sense is achieved via atium, and Vasher most likely knows that there is no more mass produced atium, so it would be very hard for Axwindeth to get her hands on atium. Maybe that's what Vasher was thinking? Only thinking about Feruchemy?
Nitpicking Posted December 31, 2024 Posted December 31, 2024 Don't you need to compound atium to reverse aging? A feruchemist could store age (or youth, to put it the other way) but not reverse it. Yes? 3
