The mists of Scadrial were left behind by Preservation to awaken Allomancy in the inhabitants of Scadrial, albeit in a violent way. The mists were encouraged by Ruin to choke off sunlight to the land, and were named '''the Deepness''' since they prevented food from growing. They also provided power to enhance Allomancy by Vin, hundreds of years later.

=== The Lord Ruler and the Collapse ===
When [[Alendi]] travelled to the [[Well of Ascension]], Preservation attempted to stop him, and in attempting to do so, murdered one of Alendi's travelling companions. Afterward, [[Rashek]] took up the power in the Well to prevent the release of Ruin, and used it to reshape the world of Scadrial in an attempt to get rid of the mists. He was not very delicate with the power, starting with moving the world too close to the sun and having to make constant adjustments to compensate.{{epigraph ref|mb3|4}} Preservation's intent can be seen here, as he could not destroy, only change.
