Mailliw73 he/him Posted March 12, 2013 Posted March 12, 2013 Has anyone ever asked Brandon what the canon name of a full Feruchemist mistborn is? I came up with one the other day, that I happen to like, whether or not it fits very well, Harmonizer. What do you guys think?
Phantom Monstrosity Posted March 12, 2013 Posted March 12, 2013 Well, Vin refers to them as Lord Rulers... 1
Krelian Posted March 12, 2013 Posted March 12, 2013 Lord Ruler indeed. I'd guess if we ever seen another, it won't be until the third trilogy. May as well just refer to the single example by his own name until then.
Senor Feesh Posted March 12, 2013 Posted March 12, 2013 Lol @Phantom. I wouldn't necessarily go with Harmoniser - it implies a link to Harmony, when Harmony is Ruin and Preservation. Feruchemy is balanced by itself, add Allomancy and you're leaning more towards Preservation. To balance out you'd need something more of Ruin, like Hemalurgy on top I guess maybe something like a Fullborn (if there even is a name for it). 2
Voidus Posted March 12, 2013 Posted March 12, 2013 No, there's no canonical name yet. And surely a Harmonizer would surely just be someone with an even mix of Preservation and Ruin, which is just a feruchemist. I tend to use Feruchemistborn but yeah, nothing canonical. 2
Kurkistan he/him Posted March 12, 2013 Posted March 12, 2013 (edited) The name is Twinawesome. Deal with it. Edited March 12, 2013 by Kurkistan 1
Mailliw73 he/him Posted March 12, 2013 Author Posted March 12, 2013 I tended to use freuchemistborn too, then I thought of this. And I know it implies a balance of Preservation and Ruin, but I like the sound of it. Fullborn would make sense too
TheChronicFeruchemist she/her Posted March 12, 2013 Posted March 12, 2013 Fullborn, to me, sounds too much like we a feruchemist mistborn combo is normal, when it isn't. Though I think that the word twin will be used. Which begs the question, can you be a mistborn and also be a ferring, or a feruchemist and misting?
Phantom Monstrosity Posted March 13, 2013 Posted March 13, 2013 Can you be a mistborn and also be a ferring I'd assume via lerasium you could.
Krelian Posted March 13, 2013 Posted March 13, 2013 I'd assume via lerasium you could. Were there ferrings in the Final Empire era? Or were all Keepers full feruchemists, with no one else having any abilities? I don't think that's ever covered in the books.
Rubix he/him Posted March 13, 2013 Posted March 13, 2013 Were there ferrings in the Final Empire era? Or were all Keepers full feruchemists, with no one else having any abilities? I don't think that's ever covered in the books. Ferrings only started showing up after the Terris people who survived the Final Ascension started interbreeding with the other survivors which diluted the power. Mostly true, but technically false. Later, after Harmony's Final Ascension, Mistborn became unheard of as Allomancy's power continued to degrade. The Terris people also interbred with the survivors of the Final Empire, which combined with the slaughter of all living Feruchemists at the time left Feruchemy also diluted, and so Ferrings began to appear. Edit: Okay, I was a little bit wrong. There were some before, but they were very rare. Relevant Link
Phantom Monstrosity Posted March 13, 2013 Posted March 13, 2013 (edited) Also Hoid is carrying around a bead of the stuff and could spike a ferring's drink with it for kicks and giggles. Edit: Edited for language Edited March 13, 2013 by Rubix Please watch the language. Thanks!
