Difference between revisions of "Deepness"

The deepness was the name for when Ruin encouraged the mists to cover the land, completely causing plant life to die off.{{epigraph ref|mb3|81}} This presented the world with a threat that couldn't be fought with traditional means. The mists were growing in strength and crops were unable to grow. The threat of starvation faced the world. When [[Rashek]] harnessed the power of the [[Well of Ascension]] to defeat the Deepness, Hehe first moved the planet closer to the sun to burn it off. This caused manynumerous problems that [[Rashek]] had to scramble to fix because [[Rashek]] did not have the knowledge he needed to do it right.

The Deepness was characterizeddepicted as some formless enemy, whichthat the [[Lord Ruler]] defeated prior to his Ascension. During the time of the [[Mistborn trilogy]], it was unknown what the Deepness was when it was first defeated by The Lord Ruler. With the knowledge that the Night time mists are the deepness, the Skaa's Fear of the Mist has a greater foundation. The historical snapping by the mist during the Pre-Ascension lends come credit to the Skaa's fear that the mists will steal their soul. This, combindedcombined with the fact that Mistwraiths only coming out at night helped to solidify the [[Skaa]] fear of the mists. After [[Ruin]]'s release he brought the mists back during the day, smothering the planet once again.
