I bet we will have a cool legend about the Thaylen people just like the one with the Makabaki (Parasaphi and the Seedstones). those legends feel similar to the old magic and cultivation influence on Roshar.

if you fear you are missing something you should read Mistborn 3.5 Secret History it may reconcile with the ending (it may not). It is worth the read anyway (if you like the Cosmere aspect of Brandon Sanderson books.)

there is also a person named Red Young in Shadows for Silence(Threnody).

killing in the 3 three realms don't specificity mean that there would be nothing left. I mean Nightblood still leave a dead bodies in the physical realm. if a mistborn consume Atium, the atium will get back to the Pits of Hathsin after a while and is not lost. Maybe it's the same with Nightblood, the investiture he consume isn't completely lost.

I don't think people are just their investiture. in Feruchemy investiture and Identity are 2 different attribute. And on Nalthis,changing breath(investiture) don't change the Identity. But i may be just misunderstanding the concept of Identity.

The more investiture a person has the more he can resist going to the Beyond. If Nightblood consumes investiture wouldn't that force the victim to go to the Beyond due to lack of investiture?

Just like tin and brass, she probably got it form water. Since Luthadel is a mining town.

Vin instinctively burning metals is a known fact. She was burning Tin and Pewter without even knowing when she tried to scam March. In my third read of the book, I notice a small passage, in chapter 24 right after the spook slang joke: Vin felt…contented. As she sipped at her wine, she caught sight of the open doorway leading into the darkened workshop. She imagined, just for a moment, that she could see a figure out in the shadows—a frightened wisp of a girl, untrusting, suspicious. The girl’s hair was ragged and short, and she wore a simple, untucked dirty shirt and a pair of brown trousers. Not only vin could see her other self but she also was able to know what she was thinking. It feel more like burning gold to me that just imagination. It made me wonder if vin did instinctively burn some unknown metals (her that era) like Bendalloy or Cadmium. This is my first post and English is my third language, I am sorry in advance if I made any mistakes.
