== History ==
In the early stages of life on Scadrial, [[Leras]], the [[Vessel]] of Preservation, struck a deal with [[Ati]], the Vessel of Ruin: that while Preservation could create humanity, a species with sentience and more Preservation than Ruin within itself, Ruin would eventually be able to destroy the world. The creation of humanity expended a portion of Preservation's power, giving Ruin a slight advantage and breaking the balance of the two powers. This imbalance, however small, would allow Ruin to gradually make good on their deal. However, Preservation could not allow his creations to be destroyed and broke the deal, imprisoning Ruin's mind and drastically limiting his ability to influence the world at the cost of Preservation's own.

== The Battle ==
Not to be deterred, Ruin sends his army of several hundred thousand [[koloss]] to assault the Pits, only for Elend to realize that his Mistfallen battalion are all Seers, [[mistings]] capable of burning atium. With a constant supply of atium dredged out by Sazed and other survivors, they fight spectacularly against seemingly endless waves of koloss. But in the end their metal reserves begin to dwindle, and they start to fall, one-by-one. Marsh then arrives from Luthadel, dueling with an exhausted and drained Elend, who soon fights only via an infusion of Vin's power. Ruin, though Marsh, taunts Elend, gloating over his impending victory, when Elend reveals their true purpose has been fulfilled: Burning away all of the atium that was stored within the Trustwarren. Marsh beheads Elend in a final outburst of anger and hacks apart his body. [[Demoux]], one of the few surviving Mistfallen, retreats to the entrance of the caves, watching with Sazed.▼
