As atium is a god metal, it does not form naturally. The metal only came to exist when [[Preservation]] stole a chunk of Ruin's power and created the Pits of Hathsin, where atium grows in crystals, to deny Ruin's access of part of his power. During the Final Empire, atium is classified as one of the two high metals along with gold and was thought to be only accessible to [[Mistborn]]s. However, atium mistings did exist. Due to the scarcity of atium and the [[Lord Ruler]]'s intended misleading,{{wob ref|8037}} such existence was unknown to most people until the exception of [[Yomen]] occurred. The [[Steel Ministry]] sometimes blend atium into food during a ball, to find out hidden atium mistings.{{wob ref|6119}} These people can be used to make [[Steel Inquisitors]] or put to other usages.{{wob ref|8038}}
