'''Ruin's Perpendicularity''' was a [[perpendicularity]] of a reflective black liquid metal{{bws ref|mistborn-2-alternate-ending-part-two|''Well of Ascension'' alternate ending part 2|date=Sep 2, 2013}} that belonged to the [[Shard]] [[Ruin]].{{wob ref|5786}}

When [[Alendi]] and [[Rashek]] were climbing the [[Terris]] mountains, to the [[Well of Ascension]], they encountered Ruin's Perpendicularity.{{book ref|tfe|29}} Alendi's companion, Fedik showed interest in the pool but Alendi refused to let him take samples.{{epigraph ref|mb1|33}} The [[Leras|mist spirit]] stabbed Fedik shortly afterward, possibly due to his interest in the perpendicularity.

When Rashek took the power at the Well, he moved Ruin's Perpendicularity underground, where it remained at least up until the [[Catacendre]].{{wob ref|5786}} The perpendicularity was moved to the [[Pits of Hathsin]], which is why the crystals produced [[atium]].{{wob ref|5525}} The perpendicularity was used by [[worldhopper]]s in an interplanetary trade system, which was upended when [[Kelsier]] destroyed the atium geodes, to which [[Hoid]] remarked "was fun to watch".{{msh ref|2|1}} The pools underneath the pits no longer exist following the Catacendre,{{wob ref|5600}} however, it is unclear if this is related to Kelsier's destruction of the atium geodes or the combining of Ruin and Preservation into the shard Harmony.

When Rashek took the power at the Well, he moved Ruin's Shardpool underground, where it remained at least up until the [[Final Ascension]].{{qa ref|727|31}} It is unknown whether or not the Shardpool was in the [[Pits of Hathsin]], which contained smaller wells in the form of crystals which produced atium.{{qa ref|691|15|Does Ruin have a pool, similar to Preservation's pool with the Well of Ascension and Skai's pool in Elantris?}} It was possibly destroyed during the Final Ascension, like the Pits and the Well.{{qa ref|727|20|Does the Well of Ascension still exist in the new world?}}
