Ripheus23 Posted November 4, 2018 Posted November 4, 2018 If Bavadin has multiple personalities, how do we know her avatars don't have multiple personalities? Maybe Trell is Autonomy's co-opting of the place of Ruin in the Scadrian pantheon (the "real" pantheon including Kelsier, Vin, Elend, Sazed, Marsh, Ati, and Leras, and sort of Rashek?). So maybe Trell has an alternate personality that thinks it has to be Ruinous. However, I was also thinking, what if the "endgame" here involves some twisted choice between exile and extinction? Like, "We have decided to remove life on this sphere," or w/e, means, "Either you leave Scadrial or you die when the planet is destroyed." Maybe allowing this choice to be made would seem consistent with Scadrian "autonomy" (seem consistent to Trell, that is)?
Rossamund Posted November 5, 2018 Posted November 5, 2018 It seems unlikely as the reason for destroying the world is that the Scadrians are getting too advanced. Forcing them into space isn't going to help with that. As for the personalities from what we know i'd imagine it'd be more like cultivation putting some of herself into making the night-watcher. It's not so much alternate personality as a distinct personality which may be subservient, though that seems unlikely given autonomy being autonomy.
