Difference between revisions of "Cadmium"

During the [[Final Empire]], cadmium and [[bendalloy]] were inaccessible and unknown to allomancers, though they were possibly known to the [[Lord Ruler]]{{wob ref|5493}}. Other than the fact that their technology couldn't create the metals, [[Preservation]] also swapped their places on the Allomantic Table for [[atium]] and [[malatium]]. In Preservation's plan, this served the purpose of burning away [[Ruin]]'s body, atium. The switch of place also kept the total number of Allomantic metals to remain as the significant number 16, which acts as a sign for humans to understand Preservation's plan.{{wob ref|5971}} Cadmium and bendalloy mistings did exist, but were not snapped by the mists because Preservation wanted to create atium and malatium mistings.{{wob ref|1352}} After the [[catacendre]], [[Harmony]] restored the Allomantic Table, and advancement in technology made the metals available.
