A Begger from Scadrial Posted December 30, 2020 Posted December 30, 2020 Hiya everybody, I've got a nice theory for ya today. Spoilers ahead for Secret History and Mistborn Era 1. Chapter 8, Epigraph, Final Empire: "He shall defend their ways, yet shall violate them. He will be their savior, yet they shall call him heretic. His name will be Discord, and they shall love him for it" So there was a WoB on Discord. Bands of Mourning release party (Jan. 25, 2016) #6 Questioner Last time you said that his name, if it wasn’t Harmony, it would be something else. Is it Discord? Brandon Sanderson This is relevant. Questioner It is relevant? Brandon Sanderson Yes. Now this actively sounded odd to me. "It is relevant" instead of an outright Yes or No or RAFO? There is always another secret ey? Secret History, Chapter 8: "Kelsier smiled, knowing that at long last it was finished. In a rush, the mists swirled in twin columns, impossibly high. The powers had been released. They quivered, uncertain, like a storm brewing. Nobody is holding them. . . . Kelsier reached out, timid, trembling. He could . . . Elend Venture’s spirit stumbled into the Cognitive Realm beside him, tripping and collapsing to the ground. He groaned, and Kelsier grinned at him." My personal theory is that if Elend died in WoA, Kelsier would have taken up the Shards, Preservation and Ruin but because he was more attuned to Ruin, he would become Discord. Am I overthinking it? I dunno just my personal theory that I want you guys to run through the mill. 3

KSub Posted January 11, 2021 Posted January 11, 2021 I don't recall if this refers specifically to Sazed. At the end of Hero of Ages we would assume that it does but now? Kelsier is the Savior. It could be a prophecy of things we have not yet seen.
Honorless he/him Posted January 11, 2021 Posted January 11, 2021 Maybe the prophecy hasn't been fully fulfilled yet... Harmony may yet become Discord

Harmony may yet become Discord I don’t think it has been. I think we’ll go back after Era 3 and discover that the ending was hinted at in one of the epigraphs in Era 1. 1
