If you mean this quote: Mistborn spoilers, emphasis mine: CHAOS Does Ruin have a pool, similar to Preservation's pool with the Well of Ascension and Skai's pool in Elantris? BRANDON SANDERSON Yes. His pool is the pits. To me this means that the pits with the Atium beads was functionally his shardpool, not that it was an actually watery pool. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was the quote but there are more. This one for example specifically uses the term 'well' implying liquid reservoirs of some sort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The "small wells" Brandon mentions in that quote could be a reference to the small geodes of Atium that formed in the pits. Each geodes could have been a "small well" eh? Either way, I think it is pretty clear that the Pits are quite different from the other "Shardpools" we have seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When asked about the dark lake in Alendi's journal, Brandon said that it's similar to the Well of Ascension and was a manifestation of Ruin's consciousness. And that it still existed in Vin's era but was moved underground. From context the 'other manifestation' he talks about pretty much has to be the pool seen in Elantris. So there seem to be two things at work here, the geodes that produce atium and the liquid pool and they're both implied to be in the same area. Not too surprising given that the lerasium beads were found in proximity to the Well of Ascension. http://twg.17thshard.com/index.php?topic=6655.msg129235#msg129235 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eki Posted December 13, 2016 Report Share Posted December 13, 2016 Wow, I did NOT catch that I need to hone my Hoid-finding skills! But WHY would he get himself eaten? There is the "Hoid sense" people mentioned earlier, but... I mean, it's a pretty mean thing to do. Lift was evidently pretty emotionally scarred by the event, thinking he died...

soyperson Posted December 14, 2016 Report Share Posted December 14, 2016 The time Hoid mentioned he "spent the better part of a year inside a large stomach being digested", which then was a one-off laugh, now seems to be even more amusing. I wonder what being swallowed by a Marabethian Greatshell feels like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is its ability to withstand Wit's personality and respond to mockery as delicate as an Alethi Highprince? They seem to have fairly delicate guts, and they have not yet tried to eat him. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
