The '''Terris Prophecies''' were a set of legends which foretells that the [[Hero of Ages]] will save the world by destroying the [[Deepness]]. What the [[Terrismen]] called the Deepness was in fact [[Ruin]]. [[Kwaan]] believed [[Alendi]] to be this hero, because [[Ruin]] was editing the prophecies to make them seem like they applied to Alendi. Kwaan send Alendi out to kill and destroy this Deepness. Kwaan eventually realized that the prophecies had been edited, and send [[Rashek]], his nephew, to prevent Alendi from reaching the Deepness. Rashek went as Alendi's packman. Instead of preventing Alendi from getting to the Deepness, he took the Deepness for himself, becoming Ruin's [[Sliver]].

 

The Terris Prophecies were written in the Terris language, which had no gender for the third person singular pronoun. So instead of 'he' or 'she', the word that they used was best translated as 'it'. However, when translated, the translators translated it to 'he', so everybody assumed that the Hero of Ages was male. The Hero of ages was prophesied to create and destroy nations. When Vin defeated the kings laying siege to [[Luthadel]], [[Sazed]] thought it to be Vin, but actually it was Sazed. Sazed defeated Ruin by becoming a sliver of both Ruin and Preservation, bonding them.
