Navy Seon he/him Posted February 5, 2016 Posted February 5, 2016 So in Elends final moments, he burns duralumin with atium. What happened? He couldn't see more than Marsh? Why did he die? What did he see? So my theory is that he saw the whole future at least until Sazeds ascension. He knew that if he survived and killed Marsh, then Vin and Ruin would just be fighting for eternity, but if Elend died, then like Vin said, there was no one else for her to stay alive for, and then she would indeed sacrifice herself to destroy Ruin. Elend saw that Sazed would pick up the powers after and create peace. He even let Marsh live because he knew he would be good in the future, and since it was too late to stop the blow he just changed it course a tad to not kill Marsh. That's why he wasn't surprised to see Sazed as Harmony. Plus he knew that this was the only way he and Vin would be together again. This my theory. Any thoughts? 4
DreamEternal Posted February 5, 2016 Posted February 5, 2016 (edited) While I am unsure about the "sparing Marsh" part, what you say is indeed what happened. In Brandon's own words, he saw his place in Preservation's plan. Edited February 5, 2016 by DreamEternal
Weltall Posted February 5, 2016 Posted February 5, 2016 Yeah, the combination gave Elend a peek into the Spiritual Realm and a sense of the 'big picture' as it were so he knew that his death would result in Vin doing exactly what she did and that would save the world.
