After the Collapse of the Final Empire and the end of the atium mining, the Pits in the Central Dominance became the new home of the Terris people, as the remaining infrastructure from the old mining camp had buildings, shelters, and most importantly, fresh water along with farm crops of resilient hardy plants adapted to ash that needed little water. Once settled, the Terris people improved the valley, building more structures, brushing ash from the plant foliage to provide grazing for the adapted short-legged sheep that roamed the hills, and returning to their heritage of herding, before the Lord Ruler's Ascension. The Terris people's lives became easier than most on Scadrial, living in pastoral villages that replaced the once brutal prison camps.
The Pits were also the location of a [[Ruin's Shardpool|Shardpool]] that was the liquid form of [[Ruin]], similar to the the [[Well of Ascension]] was to [[Preservation]].{{ref|?|691|15|Does Ruin have a pool similar to the Well of Ascension?}}
After the events of the [[Final Ascension]], the crystals in the Pits were ultimately removed by [[Harmony]].{{ref|?|727|20|The Well (and the small wells in the Pits) is no more. For now at least.}} It is however, possible that they have since been recreated. Harmony is doing something to reduce Ruin's power to balance out the power Preservation lost to humankind.{{ref|?|977|85|How is Harmony balanced?}} It is possible that the crystals are now in the [[Pits of Eltania]].
