twenty second of the sun Posted September 16, 2019 Posted September 16, 2019 How did ruin and preservation create Scadrial , we know the planet was not already there and we know they created all of the life there , my question is how did they do that ? Did they simply use space dust that was already present or did they convert their investiture directly into matter ??? I'm just confused
RShara she/her Posted September 16, 2019 Posted September 16, 2019 We don't know the exact answer. They could have simply created the mass from their investiture, which is what the books hint at, or they could have gathered the mass from various places and brought it together to form the planet. From the way the planet and the objects/people are described, I think the former is the most likely answer. 1
Mushroom Catalog he/him Posted September 17, 2019 Posted September 17, 2019 We have seen that they used examples to build people right? Did they have an example for the planet as well? tlr had enough trouble just moving the planet when he had the power, how much harder is creating a planet? Also, I think they just threw it together out of investiture.

I agree, I get the strong indication that they whistled it all up directly from their Investiture from all the talk about how their essence permeates scadiral more than would be typical for a shard that has just arrived and Invested.

That would make sense, and not lead into rafo territory. I was kind of leaning towards Vax. We know it isn't Vax, but building a planet is complicated, and Ati wonders about Vax, so... But, well, Vax.
