=== The Ascension of Harmony ===
{{image|Harmony by Kelley Harris.jpg|[[Sazed]] as [[Harmony]]|side=left|width=200px}}
For much of [[Scadrial|Scadrian]] history, [[Ruin]]'s mind was trapped in the [[Well of Ascension]], which prevented him from destroying the planet. After the death of the [[Lord Ruler]], however, he was successfully able to manipulate [[Vin]] into taking up the Well's power and then releasing it, which allowed him to be free.{{msh ref|2|3}} After [[Marsh]] removed her [[Hemalurgy|Hemalurgic]] spike, Vin Ascended and became the Vessel of [[Preservation]].{{book ref|mb3|73}} During the [[Battle of Hathsin]], Ruin had Marsh kill [[Elend Venture]], which inspired Vin to sacrifice herself and kill Ruin's Vessel, [[Ati]].{{book ref|mb3|81}}
 
During all of this, [[Leras]] was quickly dying and the [[Ire]], who had set up their base at the edge of the Scadrian subastral, were planning to use a piece of [[Ire's orb|Invested technology]] to Connect to Preservation and Ascend, greatly increasing their power and influence.{{cite}} But Kelsier, hearing of their plans, stole the orb from them, and used them to Connect to Preservation as Leras died, becoming the Vessel of Preservation. He briefly had a bout with Ruin, but was ultimately unable to properly use the Shard, due to clashing Intents and his lack of connection to the Physical Realm.{{cite}}
[[Leras]], when he held Preservation's power, had foreseen all this and planned for both Ruin and Preservation to be left without a Vessel so that [[Sazed]] could take up both Shards and their intents could moderate each other.{{book ref|mb3|82}} As a result of one person holding both Shards, Ruin and Preservation's power began to intermingle, and Sazed became known as [[Harmony]].{{wob ref|4115}} It is considered a single Shard, much like a king of two countries is still just one king.{{wob ref|6486}}▼
