I'm either really smart or really dumb

Since Brandon wrote mistborn and stormlight at the same time, a lot of things are subtly connected. What if the mist wreaths are similar or related to the Unmade

Why would they be connected?

Yes, but they follow very different rules about how they can interact with the physical word.

I like the idea, but that seems tenous.

The Unmade are known of be splinters of Odium.

Are the Unmade Splinters of Odium?

Brandon Sanderson

Yes. Good guess.

The mistwraiths are transformed feruchimists (which probably do not have enough investiture of the right types to be considered splinters) we know this from a relatively-allknowing Saved/Harmony

HoA Ch. 68 Epigraph

When the Lord Ruler offered his plan to his Feruchemist friends—the plan to change them into mistwraiths—he was making them speak on behalf of all the land's Feruchemists. Though he changed his friends into kandra to restore their minds and memories, the rest he left as nonsentient mistwraiths. These bred more of their kind, living and dying, becoming a race unto themselves. From these children of the original mistwraiths, he made the next generations of kandra.

However, even gods can make mistakes, I have learned. Rashek, the Lord Ruler, thought to transform all of the living Feruchemists into mistwraiths. However, he did not think of the genetic heritage left in the other Terris people, whom he left alive. So it was that Feruchemists continued being born, if only rarely.

This oversight cost him much, but gained the world so much more.

Noooo... You created a false binary system for yourself, then found out you weren't in the 1st category, and so decided you were in the 2nd, when those weren't the only 2 options to begin with. You're not dumb, you're just not "really smart" in this 1 context.

Thanks @First of the Tide
