Is Ashravan the Body of Leras in Mistborn?

[TheLerasNosed he/him]

Hi, I'm new, and have been reading through some theories and found something that caught my eye and I'm not sure if anything has been said/somewhere else in a thread that I haven't located?

 

I noticed that both Ashravan, from Emperor's Soul, and the Body that falls in Mistborn after Elend meets the mist shadow, are both described as having a Prominent Nose.  Has anyone else noticed this or am I making something of nothing?

You're making something of nothing.  Leras' body is described as having black hair, Ashravan has golden hair.  (Not to mention that during Ashravan's lifetime Leras is still holding Preservation.  And on a completely different planet).

Welcome to the 17th Shard! Ashravan is not Leras. A lot of people can be said to have a prominent nose.

 

Good luck on your next theory, Muply21! See you around!

I.E. you'll fit right in.

Also, just a friendly tip, it might be better to post this on Cosmere Theories or something.

I didn't realize where I posted it until after. I then couldn't figure out how to delete it. I'll get better

No problem. I posted my first two theories on this board. Both shot down, by the way.

Then again, Ashravan is a part of the "heritage" faction- could Ashravan be descended from a bloodline that connects back to Leras?

That would only work if Ashravan had a world-hopping ancestor from Yolen who descended from Leras. And that would only work if Leras was able to procreate before gaining the Shard of Preservation and going on an interplanetary adventure with his friend Ati/Ruin, and if his family survived any Shattering-related calamity on Yolen.

Seriously, at the timeframe we're looking at, if Ashravan descended from Leras then, according to the concept of the identical ancestors point, everyone on Sel would be descended from Leras. Ashravan wouldn't even be special in that regard, prominent nose or not. If anything, he'd just be one of possibly millions of people with the dubious honor of being Lerasnosed.

I was looking for something more Cosmere related to have as my name. I think I'm going to steal LerasNosed from you if you don't mind

Approval.

LOL, go ahead. See you around, TheLerasNosed!
