== Pact with Preservation and Attempted Destruction of Scadrial ==
 
As one of the sixteen people who shattered Adonalsium, Ati became the original vessel of Shard Ruin. As the vessel, his mind was warped to fit his Shardic intent, making him always want to reduce everything down to its smallest possible form, to destroy everything. In an agreement with the Shard Preservation, he obtained Preservation's help in creating a planet ([[Scadrial]]), with the agreement that if Preservation could create sentient life, Ruin could eventually destroy Scadrial and its inhabitants. However, Preservation's Intent prevented him from actually allowing Ruin to destroy Scadrial. He orchestrated the downfall of Ruin on Scadrial with an elaborate plot to sacrifice himself (since holding Preservation meant he was unable to destroy). He sacrificed his mental capabilities to entrap Ruin in the Well of Ascension, effectively preventing Ruin from majorly affecting the world. Ati was still able to affect the world in minor ways as Ruin, by changing the [[Terris Prophecies]] in order to trick Vin into freeing him from the Well of Ascension, as well as encouraging the mists to cover the land and cause a mass famine and causing the Ashmounts to
erupt more frequently, causing the omnipresent ash to fall more heavily and lava flows to endanger several villages close to each Ashmount. Earthquakes were also much more frequent, so much so that [[Elend Venture|Elend]] remarked that earthquakes were practically unheard of in the [[Dominance|Inner Dominances]], but during a short time he had already experienced several.
