Ryshadium she/her Posted January 28, 2016 Report Share Posted January 28, 2016 When Ati no longer has Ruin: “Ruin stood up nearby, blinking. Or . . . no, it wasn’t Ruin any longer. It was just the Vessel, Ati. The man who had held the power. Ati ran his hand through his red hair, then looked about. “Vax?” he said, sounding confused.” Excerpt From: Brandon Sanderson. “Mistborn: Secret History.” iBooks. https://itun.es/us/ewtsab.l Vax is mentioned in the Elantris Ars Arcanum brief, I believe. Otherwise, this is new. Is Ati from Vax? Let's talk about Vax. Hopefully I have made the topic unspoilery enough, but please edit if need be. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryshadium she/her Posted January 28, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2016 Reading the Coppermind about the Cosmere overall, it seems that popular theory is that the Shattering happened on Yolen. Maybe it happened on Vax, and that's the last thing Ati recalls before he held Ruin? Just thinking out loud here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FirstSelector Posted January 29, 2016 Report Share Posted January 29, 2016 I had a few thoughts about this already. Whomever held Ruin originally was from Yolen. However, Ati could have picked it up from that person on Vax. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ari he/him Posted January 29, 2016 Report Share Posted January 29, 2016 I can think of a lot of explanations. One is that Vax is someone the sixteen original Shardholders all knew, and that the planet Vax was named after them. Another is that Ati thinks he's on the planet Vax when he shows up in the cognitive realm- perhaps it's very dark there? It's a good question, but we don't really have anything to go on at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryshadium she/her Posted January 29, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2016 I had a few thoughts about this already. Apologies, I didn't see it. The spoiler tags are making it hard to discern what threads are about!!! Whomever held Ruin originally was from Yolen. However, Ati could have picked it up from that person on Vax. Vax is definitely a planet, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mestiv he/him Posted January 29, 2016 Report Share Posted January 29, 2016 I think Vax is name for both a planet and Vessel - someone Ati knew very well before Shattering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TraSor Posted January 29, 2016 Report Share Posted January 29, 2016 Could be simpler, like "what the vax?" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewStirlingMacDonald he/him Posted January 29, 2016 Report Share Posted January 29, 2016 I assumed it was just Ati saying "Wax" with a terrible Russian accent, as he is wont to do from time to time. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pathfinder Posted February 2, 2016 Report Share Posted February 2, 2016 So total conjecture, but wasn't silence divine the story where people are on an upside down planet or some such? Where down is sky? So could Vax be this planet, that he questions because he is surrounded by mist, or to his eyes clouds? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
