Yay, cookies!! The point of the post was to attempt to figure out what allowed the Lord Ruler to do such. Connection currently is poorly understood, so if this is an example of connection, it could help us notice things when looking into other parts of the Cosmere. Also, Brandon is very detail oriented. I'm sure he had the Lord Rule 'lie detect' like this for a reason. The Lord Ruler was capable of more than we currently understand and it helps if we can understand any part of what he can do, even little parts like this that have very little bearing on the story.

I started to re-read Mistborn from start to finish since reading Secret History and something stood out that I have never heard anyone mention anywhere. At the end of the first book, after Vin is captured, the Inquisitor takes her to the Lord Ruler and tells her there is no point to her lying to him, he is god, yada yada. However the inquisitor states it, the Lord Ruler CAN tell when people are lying in that scene, yet I never hear anyone mention that part of his abilities. After reading through all the books, I believe he is tapping connection (he probably stores tons of the stuff so he doesn't feel bad when he murders everyone also). This is why he is able to understand Vin and her Father on such a level that they can't lie to him. What are thoughts?
