Hey guys
Very new to this community, I used to be a big fan of the original Mistborn series and recently read the new Mistborn novels with wax and Wayne. I am confused as to why Mistborn and full feruchemists have gone extinct in the new series?
Granted it's been a few years since I read the original Mistborn trilogy but I do remember that at the end of the third book, Sazed (Harmony) made the tin eye (forgot his name) full Mistborn and restored his sight (he's the one called Lord Mistborn in the new series I think). So how come in the new era there aren't any Mistborn who can burn all 16 compounds? Similarly what happened to all feruchemists? In the original, all feruchemists could store all 16 attributes in various copper minds if I remember correctly.
So why are there misting only in this series and single attribute feruchemists? Also, the phenomenon of being twin born, while intriguing, why was it missing in the original trilogy. I supposed the Lord Ruler was the ultimate twin born with the inquisitors being hemalurigcally induced twin born, but what about the normal mistings? Why weren't they twin Born? Or this something harmony did for his era?
Thanks guys, I really need to do a re read of the original trilogy.
